”average streaming service has all the shows” factoid is acutaly just a statistical error. average streaming service has 0 shows. Poob, which has over 10,000 for you, is a statistical outlier adn should not have been counted.

You can survive almost anything through the right combination of:

  1. Bitching and moaning
  2. Hater-ology
  3. Doing a goofy little bit about it
  4. Having a buddy say "that's so fucked up" at intermittent points (you can also be your own buddy)
  5. Destroying the cursed amulet you carry everywhere, why do you even have that thing

who else up & bisexual⁉️⁉️⁉️ And very afraid

if there’s anything i know for certain it’s that i am often up. and always bisexual. And scared

I recently got an on-campus job. During the interview process, I requested that I not be scheduled on Friday nights or Saturdays as I am a Jewish student.

My boss immeadiately brightened and rushed to explain - "Of course ! Of course! We want to accomodate you! We have another worker who takes off for Ramadan. Do you need to take off for Ramadan?"

I shook my head, incredibly confused. "Uh. That's. Not my jurisdiction. I'm good." Boss nodded but was sure to add "Let me know if that ever changes. We can help you with Ramadan."

@vangoggles THAT WHAT I WAS SAYING .

And I was finally on a shift with this guy. We were both sitting in silence because we had the ass-crack-of-dawn slot.

Over my coffee and twirling my Magen David necklace around my finger, I say "So. Ahmed. Ramadan.

And Ahmed over his energy drink, sighs - "don't you say shit about that."

#what's the bet Ahmed was just asking for certain shifts during Ramadan and Boss got excited and was like “just take the whole ramadan off!”#“don't even worry about it! we support you! take the time you need!” I'm scheduled to work with him tomorrow morning so will find out then 🫡 .We're both STEM majors who use the early empty hours to study so I will report if I get more than a grunt out of him about it.

another stupid-early morning, and between our respective course loads- him organic chemistry and me pathophysiology- I asked for the full story in how he got all of Ramadan off.

He sighed, and let me know that he did indeed try to explain to our manager that all he needed was to get shifts not around sunrise or sunset. But that in him explaining what Ramadan was, the plot very quickly got lost into this unhinged confusion where our boss was trying to google how people could survive an entire month without food or water.

So halfway through, he decided to pivot and go along with it, expecting less shifts in March because that's a difficult academic time anyway. Then, he had to keep a straight face when the end-product was the entire time off with paid leave.

So, now, he's in a hell partially of his own making where his boss genuinely believes he doesn't eat for a month and is trying to offer all non-Christian workers March off. I offered him time off for Hanukkah. He hit his head against the desk, and groaned.

wait, follow up question, what's he going to do next year when it's not in March anymore?

I was also wondering this, so I asked him this most recent shift together. He paused, considered the question for a moment, then answered- "I'll have to check my syllabus and decide then."

You heard it here first- newest update to the Islamic Calender. Ramadan is dependent on Ahmed's course-load. (He saw this post on a Youtube short and was amused by it, so he doesn't detest the weird tumblr coworker. He also only gets a quarter of his normal paycheck for the month, which is not terrible at all for vacation.)

(Also. My boss is still convinced I observe Ramadan.)

Happy Ramadan to Ahmed and his course load. The Muslim Jewish solidarity nobody could have predicted. 🤣

Staying at a somewhat shitty hotel. Can’t get on the wifi. Tell the front desk. They have no IT support so the desk guy just gives me the admin password. Tells me “that should work. It’s just you and me using it.” Imagining the two of us skipping through the world wide web holding hands
