Suppose to be leaving for vacation in a couple weeks but my boss is refusing to give me the time off even though I was already told I could have it off months ago. Trying to get my request officially denied so I can take it up to HR but they just keep giving me the runaround. They don't want to give me the time off but nobody wants to be responsible for officially denying me the time off either. Everything is already bought and paid for and most of it is non-refundable.

That's the type of nightmare scenario where I'd consider my employment, but obviously you need a way to support yourself so easier said than done. In the future though if you have an emergency or something more important, just remember this and don't feel bad if you have to abruptly quit or get shit done.

Thing is I've been here 15 years and never had this problem before.

It was the coldest June day in Sydney for 37 years yesterday. Now I have a cold. My throat is sore and my nose is sniffly. Last night was one of the worst nights I’ve had in a while.

Got screamed at and threatened by an angry old man because I went in the wrong area on my bike. I couldn't see any indications anywhere telling me I even was in the wrong place. Wish this dang stuff was made clearer.

Today I learned about Megaloceros, and I thought the name sounded cool as hell, but when I went to google pictures of it, it turned out to be a fucking deer. Imagine my disappointment.

A deer larger than the moose.

Now think about how dangerous moose are.

A NECA Alien I ordered came in today! A clamshell original too!

......motherfucker snapped at the right arm and left foot almost instantly after I took him out.

44 dollars, right down the fucking drain.

This is why I've reluctantly decided not to buy NECA toys anymore. As much as I've liked their Predators, there have been just enough incidents of breakage from using the toy's most basic features that I've called it quits. They list their goods as "non durable". Not even joking.

This is the worst post I've seen in a long time. You're officially a bad person now.

You don't live in an area populated by moose, do you?

Hey, give him a break, at least moose didn't go extinct from their antlers getting stuck in trees.

but yeah, Megaloceros is pretty neat. Not super neat, maybe like 6 out of 10 on the "underrated Cenozoic Megafauna" scale, but it's neat.

Finally going to bed after a shitty work day and finding out apparently, for like the THIRD time I can recall, some assholes are spreading around a fucking video of gore on sites to "shock" people, mainly children.


Just....what the fuck.

What makes people do this shit.

I'm fucking disgusted and going to bed just...disappointed in humanity. Just avoid any videos called DuckPack 51 with the thumbnail of a girl dancing. PSA for yall.

Realizing that there's no suprises left for me to be, well, suprised by in Godzilla Singular point. I wish I was still like I was in 2019 where spoilers got me even more hyped.

Scott Cawthon, the creator of Five Nights at Freddy’s, is retiring.

Learned this about ~7 minutes ago and my mood has been totally ruined.

I bought a lock for my door because I'm tired of my parents disrespecting my space and messing with my things while I'm at work, only to find out it doesn't fit the door. It's gotten to the point where I have to downright hide my figures and plushies to get my parents to stop giving them to the kids. The building sets coming back to me with missing pieces is especially frustrating when they're expensive AF and I spend hours putting them together. Gonna have to look for another solution that isn't talking to my parents, because that never worked, nor will it ever. They plainly just don't care.
