Was among a group of temps at a credit union. Employees were so busy, we got very little training. And spent large parts of our day with nothing to occupy our time.

After a month, supervisor walks by at end of day and asks how things are going. I say something to the effect of "could be better." He looks surprised and says "OK, let's discuss that tomorrow morning." I think great, we can problem solve.

The next day turned out to be the three year anniversary of my boyfriend's death. When I sat with supervisor and trainer and they said how are you, I let them know that I was a little emotional due to it, and started to cry a little.

Supervisor proceeded to reem me out for saying something so negative yesterday in the hearing of coworker and accused me of making a bunch of mistakes (I didn't and had already provided evidence that I wasn't involved) and that I obviously didn't care about my work and that I needed to pack my things and be escorted out of the building.

In conclusion, I hope that guy spends the rest of his life with wet socks.

Hell yeah. I grew up in the jehovahs Witness cult. One of their most used phrases is:"Are you doing enough?"

It's there to let you know this minor character is kind of douchey. We never see him again.

We need a macawrong community here on lemmy for baking fails. Yours look way better than my first time. I've had a lot of success with this recipe. Keep at it, you'll definitely get it.

Early Riser (lemmy.world)

Acryllic on paper. Inspired by Jasper Fforde's novel Early Riser. Not My favorite of his books, though it wouldn't surprise me if it gets better on repeated readings. Unique world building is his strength.

I tried to do this in the style of Wassily Kandinsky, but I never learned the trick of painting thin lines and I was impatient to just be done with it.

Saw this last night, and it was fantastic. Over the top combination of seriousness and humor, great practical effects, puppetry, and costumes.

I enjoyed participating in inktober, and seeing what everyone else made. I want to keep using prompts, but in a broader way than ink52.

We'll begin the first week of January. For now, if you visit the community, I'm soliciting ideas for prompts. That can include a subject, but it can also be a technique, medium, color, or any other kind of inspiration. All types of visual art are welcome. Hope to see you there.

Huge thanks to the mods for hosting inktober on lemmy and for approving this post. Also thanks to everyone who participated. I loved seeing everyone's art.

Original photo. I wanted to try drawing one directly in ink instead of sketching with pencil. This should give you an idea of how often I normally erase.

Ink on paper.

Inspired by Kevin Wilson's novel, Now Is Not the Time to Panic. About two teens in the 90s who are into art and poetry, that create a poster with a cryptic phrase on it. They post copies of it around town anonymously as an artistic statement, and it becomes viral, but some people see it as a menacing statement by Satan worshippers and things get out of hand. In lieu of posting around town, I posted it on my wall. And I am not an edgy teen, so I forewent the splash of my own blood on the poster.

I'm getting very behind on these thanks to Inktober. I've got another 3 books to do.

The problem is that people can map fictional resistance movements onto opposite real life parties. In my college poli Sci class, both I (a known lefty) and the most conservative guy in class excitedly supported the idea of showing V for Vendetta. I guarantee the January 6 guys thought they were in an underdog resistance movement.
