OT: Cole's OT Thread - Fly Me to Moon Township

[Randy Butternubs]

I work in a paint lab where I can wear jeans and a tshirt (which will be covered by a lab coat) half the time and dress pants and a collared shirt when I visit customers at their paint lines. Everything I wear for work will be ruined by paint long before it goes bad for any other reason, so I cannot justify buying expensive clothes for work.

So...

Do you work for PPG or Covestro? Additionally, do your coatings prevent corrosion? How are they applied?

neither. We do mostly 100% solids UV. Flatlines on wood, vinyl, and aluminum sheets.

That's why I hate breeders so much.

Vancouver is putting a ban of selling dogs and cats in retail stores to cut down on these puppy mills.

Except I'm sure she'd be smiling in the last panel.

Awwwww. One of my dogs has one eye. A vicious Pitbull attack.......kidding. It was a pitbull but they were playing and he got scratched right in the eye by a paw. It wouldn't heal and was going to rupture if it wasn't taken out. The thing he hated the most was having to wear a cone for 10 days otherwise it didn't really effect him.

Quite a few US cities already have similar bans for pet shops, they can only sell rescue animals.

Yeah definitely a good thing because those animals are factory farmed basically. No reputable breeder would sell to a pet store and the good ones don't continuously breed the dogs they have but they are fewer and further between.

Btw... been using GOAT app for a bit now. Some damn good prices for rare sneakers. Yeezys like $300 less than flightclub.

Have you used StockX? That seems like a cool concept. I've browsed the app, a lot of nice stuff on there.

I was skeptical about GOAT app... is it legit (in terms of authenticity)?

I think I'm about to get a pretty decent raise at work, might splurge on some NMDs when that happens.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

I'll look into some rescue shelters. Anyone know of any in Vancouver? I've been here a few years but no clue which one is a good one to start with.

There are a bunch but I don't know the good from the bad. Try BC SPCA first they have a place in Vancouver then a bunch through the suburbs

Try calling or visiting some local pet stores, obviously not ones that sell animals. I know the two I use hold adoption days or have connections to local rescue centres. They will be able to point you in the right direction (towards your new doggie )

Dude, having a dog with one eye would be great. I'd give him a sweet eye patch and call him Dog Plissken.

I haven't heard of that before. Ill have to check it out. What is it?

Goat is legit for sure. Lots of great reviews

Basically it's like eBay but the seller ships to Stock X and they authenticate the shoes then ship it to the buyer. It seems like a really cool idea, heard about it on Facebook.

I'll keep GOAT in mind. I've seen it sponsored in like Instagram posts and didn't really ever look at it any closer.

 

[Asuna]

my job is taking away the 4x10 schedule....again.

what a ****ing joke

So that's exactly how GOAT works, too. I just sold an extra pair of Tennis Hus I had because I bought 2 different sizes. I had to ship it to them. They ship it to the customer.

Why? 4 tens are the best. 3 day weekend. Why take it away? Before I go into a culture rant... this is the type of move that will kill productivity.

Oh sick, I didn't realize that. I'll keep that in mind.

The other cool thing about it is that it tracks the sales of the shoes in order to follow its' "stock".

yeah...it is the best.

they said they're taking it away because many people don't like the schedule (90% of the employees who are on the schedule like it) and they can't sufficiently staff for that schedule.

and i'm pretty sure the second reason is because two employees just left that shift....for reasons other than the shift itself.

basically management is just jumping to conclusions instead of actually looking at the problem.

if the change goes through i'll probably find another job. which is a shame cause i was content where i was.

If management actually thinks 4x10 is upsetting the employees and causing issues, they are seriously delusional. I don't need to know anything about your job/company to know that is definitely not the case. Who the hell is complaining about 3 day weekends in the middle of the summer?

that's basically what everyone on our shift said...lol. though i should note, our schedule is friday-monday. so some people don't want to work on the weekends.

the funny thing is, we added 4x10 shift because we didn't have enough coverage on the weekend. now we're going back to the old schedule....makes zero sense

It's small decisions like that which can kill an organizational culture. If you aren't in any client/customer service, I am all for 100% flex scheduling. My cousin works for a government job for Patent office. He's on pure flex. That means 40 hours any time, any day of the week.

We basically sell to other employers/groups, so we have flex scheduling and a lot of different offered schedules to try to help people with work/life balance. Some people can leave work at 3pm, the flexing people stay til 5. Half have Mondays/half have Fridays. It works. People are happy.

Real bummer to hear for you.

Holy hell that looks terrible. Is it a children's movie that people are nostalgic for or something? I've heard the name before, but I didn't expect it to look like that.
