You mean when you called me ONCE on my break and I still ran back to my computer to call you back a minute later? You mean when I sent you emails, texts on teams and called you? Oh fuck off.

Never been so mad before at my job. It sucks when you’re the only one called out.

At my job, there's a drop off point in the hotel and at the end of the sidewalk to the employee entrance. We're told employees that get picked up should walk down to the parking lot to the designated pick up spots and vise versa when getting dropped off. Literally nobody does that. All day, everyday, people get dropped off and picked up ag the end off the sidewalk which SHOULD be taxi and bus only. I've seen people waiting there for 30+ minutes waiting for someone to come out.

I pretty much made the attempt to steal $180 and tried replacing it with counterfeit money (The explanation for this is in the comments.)

No-Cost Composer looking to team up with fellow creators!

Been at this life for a while, and am trying to boot-straps my way on up. I focus on composing music for Games, Podcast Theme Songs, and Fantasy Music in general. Rock, Celtic, Gypsy, Punk, Jazz, Reggae, Latin, you name it. Check out The BardFox on SoundCloud or YouTube if you're curious about my work; otherwise just let me know in the comments. I'd love to write an anthem for an eSports team, especially. Don't be shy, I ask nothing in return but The Bardfox name next to my music. Here's hoping for prospects awaiting us all! The BardFox
