I have to request any day(s) I want off for the whole year. If I don't do it now, I lose all my 2 weeks off. It doesn't roll over or get paid out

I don't have family to visit so I don't need specific dates

I don't have doctors appts set up and honestly, I can't know what doctors visits I'll need in 3 months let alone 11!

How should I choose what days off to take? I know I will want a 5 day stretch so I can go somewhere but when would be best for that? #NeedAdvice #vacation #TimeOff #logistics

My entire life I have never dealt with passive aggressiveness well. I have always handled it wrongly and it's backfired on me.

My job never ever has this.
The place I volunteer with is all about it.

Any advice on how to handle passive aggressive people?

Friend constantly yells at everyone in Gym class - Blåhaj Lemmy

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/20684850 [https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/20684850] > My friend Ana (15F) is generally a nice person, but she can be a little weird with some things, specifically Gym. Ana does not like taking accountability for her own mistakes, nor does she seem to believe/accept that she can be wrong sometimes. > > Ana constantly blames others (like me) for things like her serving the volleyball behind herself instead of over the net, for example. > > When I pass to someone and they end up missing in basketball, she blames me for passing to them and not her. > > If I end up winning a point, she sarcastically slow claps and says “Wow. You finally did something useful for once.” > > She gets mad at me for setting or spiking a volleyball that’s too high for me to bump as well, saying she’s better than everyone, that everyone is useless, and that I was actually supposed to bump it down low. > > She makes sure to remind people how terrible they are and how she’s better than them, too. Ana has anger issues (she says it’s because of her parents) and while she acts like nothing happened/apologizes in the next period, she does the same things again and again since around 12 years old. I like Ana as a friend but I hate when she yells at me and others for everything.

So, me and a friend of mine on Discord are discussing about starting a Steamboat Willie themed compilation, but we need your help and advice.

While the cartoon itself and that particular version of Mickey Mouse is now in the public domain, we know that the actual character isn't. So, now what do we do? Start it anyway?
If so, what can we do to prevent it from failing?

Faves and Boosts are appreciated.

Need fedi's opinion on this. RTs helpful.

I'm sending a wishlist to my family this month. I started it offline on LibreOffice Calc, but I may want to import it and continue it on Google Sheets as my mom specifically uses Google and it can be easier to send a link and update if needed.

However, I know Google sucks, but the convenience and the fact my family uses a ton of mainstream services like that may be useful.

What should I do from here?

Hey #Mastodon, I'm facing a peculiar situation at my workplace and I need your judgment on whether I am the asshole here. For context, I'm Jason Craste, a 29-year-old fullstack developer working at NebulaWeave.

A bit of background: in the programming world, there are various package managers one can use to manage project dependencies. For a long time, I've been using npm (Node Package Manager) which has served me well over the years. However, a majority of my colleagues have transitioned to using Yarn, another popular package manager. They claim it's faster, more reliable, and basically the next best thing since sliced bread.

They've formed a group that they've facetiously named "The Yarn Boys". Initially, it seemed all in good fun and an inside joke of sorts. But it escalated quickly to the point where they've been bullying me for not making the switch from npm to Yarn.

Things took a turn for the worse when they started excluding me from social events. Before this whole debacle, we used to hang out a lot, going out for drinks or playing TopGolf during the weekends. Now, they won't invite me to any gatherings, stating that it's a "Yarn Boys only" event and I would only be welcomed if I start using Yarn myself.

I feel this is completely childish and unprofessional. I believe in using what works best for me, and npm has never given me any significant issues. The shift to Yarn, in my opinion, doesn't warrant the kind of exclusion and ridicule I'm experiencing.

Moreover, I feel like our friendship is being tested over a minor disagreement on tool preference, which seems absurd. I miss the camaraderie we had, but at the same time, I don't want to switch just to appease them and get back into their good graces.

So, am I in the wrong for sticking to my guns and continuing to use npm despite the pressure from "The Yarn Boys"? #NeedAdvice #AmITheAsshole #JSDev

Any makers here? Need a quick bit of writing knowledge from any craftspeople! What's something a potential customer might say that proves they don't understand your craft, and it's frustrating to hear it all the time?

e.g. For dice makers, it would be hearing someone ask "are they balanced?"

Are there people here that have recently took their #Brompton #bike on the #Thalys? I will be doing that in June, but the information about how to do it is confusing. For instance, the Thalys website says that a folded bike is considered as luggage when it is no more than 75x53x30, and Brompton is that... almost but not quite (it is 59x57x29). Also, some sites insist that the bike must be covered, yet I find pics of uncovered ones in the luggage slots everywhere. #Help! #NeedAdvice #DareToAsk
