Senior Chief Petty Officer. Starfleet is in my blood, and I’ve spent my entire adult life in service to boldly going.

Keiko and Molly are my favorite humans, but Transporter Room 3 will always be my favorite.

Just don’t ask who what’s in the pattern buffer.

  • Under five minutes.

    I interviewed, accepted the job offer at the end, showed up for my first scheduled shift and found out my manager wasn’t the polite manager I interviewed with.

    For the record, I was supposed to start at 9am. It was 8:45 when I walked in.

    Manager, literally yelling from about 300ft away: YOU’RE LATE!

    Me, confused: I’m 15 minutes early?

    Manager: I EXPECT YOU TO BE HERE HALF A HOUR BEFORE EVERY SHIFT, IF YOU’RE LATE AGAIN YOU’RE ON THIN FUCKING ICE

    And I turned my happy ass around and walked out.

    I don’t care if it was some bullshit tactic to “weed out” people, that is completely unacceptable behavior and in my younger years I have gotten into fist fights over someone speaking to another like that.

    I had another job inside a week.

    I don’t care if they had someone to fill my spot the next day. It wasn’t worth the time.













  • As someone without allergies that has been around for too many peanut-related reactions, I absolutely hate that this article exists.

    Too many times I have heard people be dismissive of a person’s severe peanut allergy, to the point of thinking it’s funny to bring a peanut butter sandwich to work and wave it in someone’s face, and then get defensive when it triggered a skin rash from proximity alone.

    I’ve seen people put peanut butter on an allergic person’s car door handle.

    I’ve seen people put peanuts in someone’s food “because they have to be faking it”

    The reason I hate this article is because it will encourage too many people who “have done their own research” to put peanuts in things “to help build up a tolerance”

    Someone is going to die from that “studies suggest”.

    And I really am tired of hearing “you’re overreacting, that’s not going to happen” given the current state of the world.






  • Every argument I have ever heard boils down to “in my specific use-case because of X Y Z and Purple, all the benefits of wired are irrelevant” and the people espousing such opinions don’t at all take into consideration that other people exists and their specific use-case is not at all widely experienced.

    “My tinnitus means I can’t distinguish high tones well” okay buddy, but how many other people enjoy distinct highs?

    “I move around too much so Bluetooth is the only practical solution” okay my friend, but many people either don’t have that problem, or they’ve found a solution.
