I'm not naming names because they're acting like a bunch of bullies, but that union is more than willing to use everyone else as collateral at the bargaining table.

I can't afford to be picketing. I really can't. I picked up another job because I'd be financially screwed otherwise living with and supporting two furloughed family members.
I'm like two weeks away from being in the red.

Oh, just a general observation and advice/warning after watching drama unfold elsewhere the past few days. It wasn't directed at any one specific individual.

I admit, part of me finds this cathartic because they're reaping what they've sown. But I've also seen it get bad, based on how it gets handled.
It happened in a guild of mine several years ago. It wasn't pretty. They destroyed themselves in the end, but tried to take everyone else down with him.

The funny thing is, Samurai Pizza Cats is little like the original show, Kyatto Ninden Teyandee. Saban wrote an entirely original dialogue, transforming it from a parody into a a wacky, off the wall comedy.
Surprisingly, the English version overtook the original in terms of popularity!

And now we're eating pizza for dinner while watching Samurai Pizza Cats!

I never had the chance to play the GC version! I always regretted it. Back then, I didn't know that Story of Seasons was the new name for the original Harvest Moon games, which I loved in the SNES and N64 days, so I missed out on it.

Yes, this will be quite enjoyable. Not sure who I'm going to romance, as I hear it's required to progress past year one.
Maybe the musician, Gustafa? Maybe Molly, the café waitress? I've enjoyed interactions with both of them so far. Not sure about Matthew. Hopefully he warms up a bit...

I've been helping a coworker in another department the past few days, despite barely being able to keep mine afloat, and she made me a pot of chicken curry soup as a thank you!

Me too. It's part library page, part front desk. Without the degree, it doesn't amount to much, but it's a low key job that has two things I love to do—organizing and paperwork.

Actually, I have only have the Fable games and nothing else.
To be honest, the Xbox has never really had games that catered to me, but it's nice to know this 360 is still functioning nearly twelve years later!

I dunno. After a year and a half on here, I can't seem to get a grasp on the Bluesky community. It's like I'm doing something wrong and can't figure out what it is.

And if it's not about cats or something LOTRO-related, I rarely see any interaction.
I don't know how many times I've brought up hobbies or mentioned a fun game I'm playing or talked about something happening in my life and it's like, well, crickets.

Me too. As it turns out, I went to talk to the restaurant owner today to find the doors closed for good.
Something tells me I got hired because everyone else bailed and they needed a temporary body.

I've noticed it's slowed down substantially, unless you're an account that retweets all day.

It's rhetorical at this point, but I'm going to ask it anyway.
How on earth is this acceptable to a multibillion dollar corporation that makes increases their profit margin year after year that complains, at the same time, that nothing is getting done at store level?

That being said, the Cutie Honey reference with Jeanne transforming into Cutie J was a welcome one.
Her spy mode stages were *chef's kiss*
