All of my best characters have started off as jokes.

9·4 months agoOkay, so we just make him use his money for good all the time under threat of throwing him into a skillet.
Shout-out to the time I said an NPC was a bugbear but I forgot that he was actually a half orc and when the players found him at the next session, they took it in stride and pretended none of their character knew what a bugbear actually is and were like “Is bugbear a slur for half orcs?” In character and the consensus was that it is.

1910!
I bought it in 2022. It’s tiny but mine lol
I only have like 10 minis and the party I DM for is 5 people, so I use a lot of random stuff as minis. I’m slowly building a collection, but it’s expensive lol
I forgot my minis for a session one day, but remembered to bring the Werther’s originals. So we used soda tabs, beer caps, and Werther’s for minis that day.
Shit, it’s been 2 years already? Damn. I still get bummed over RiF when I think about it.
My characters almost always gain 90% of their trauma from the adventure itself.

3·10 months agoI think the worst part is that my coworkers have advocated for me getting a promotion and it’s not gonna happen. The only people who don’t want to see me grow are the people in charge. The others in the trenches (the other techs) are so supportive.

2·10 months agoThey aren’t paying for it or any future certs. I do plan on getting them, but only because I want to land a better job. I’m hiding my time and will be staying to get more experience so I know I can get a better job

3·10 months agoThank you very much. This whole thing is really upsetting because this job seemed super nice until I started asking for more than what the bosses were already providing.

5·10 months agoLmao I don’t get sick days. I got 11 days of PTO this years and I’ve already used 8 of them for being sick/ a family emergency and 2 are being used for a vacation. 🫠

8·10 months agoThey didn’t mention certs until a few weeks after I was hired. We were allowed to study on company time until they wanted someone to take the test for the current cert they want. I took it, failed, and now it’s all supposed to be done in personal time because apparently us studying on company time isn’t worth it to them despite us also doing our jobs and studying too? It’s a mess.

13·10 months agoThe worst part is that when they hired me they spoke about how they wanted me to eventually get promoted. Now I do level 2 tech work for level 1 wages. I’m just not allowed to do onsite tech jobs, which are exclusive to level 2 and above…🙄

14·10 months agoThink the HR lady FB stalks me a bit. I go to a horse stables and she followed the page after I showed up in pics there. She mentioned how I go there a lot. I’m constantly in pics on the stables FB page because I’m a member of their community.
