  • Pretty nice until the day inevitably comes where one of the RFID chips malfunctions and the fridge keeps insisting that you throw out something that isn’t there and you can’t reset the inventory without downloading an update from some company that doesn’t exist anymore using a profile that your ex has the password for.

    Then you’ll wonder why you didn’t use to have these sorts of issues, and your kids will ask how you updated the fridge in your childhood. As an adult you are expected to know this stuff. With your authority being undermined like that they’ll stop listening to anything you say and start smoking crack after school. Now you have a malfunctioning fridge and junkie children. Thanks a lot, dad.

    No thanks. I’ve got 99 problems, but a fridge ain’t one.

    I did that for a while. Then I got bored with loitering around the premises for 8 hours every day. It’s not much of a benefit. There’s only so much time I can spend doomsscrolling before starting to wonder if I’m getting paid enough to waste my life doing that.

    The better approach is to ask for more pay. There’s a couple of steps to that.

    At the next salary review ask your boss what you need to do to get paid more. Being in a position where it appears as if you’re already strung out on critical tasks isn’t the best setup for asking for more work, so at least have the decency to show some surplus energy. This is how you make sure you’re paid for taking on more tasks.

    If they don’t have anything else to offer, you can still ask them why they don’t pay you more for your current tasks. They’ll have no clue, so it’s likely that they’ll come up with something stupid, like “you don’t keep the trashbin empty” or whatever. You can then proceed to empty the fucking trashbin daily and then go ask for more pay. You can plan this move in advance by not emptying the trashbin for a while.

    So I know, “we don’t have salary reviews”. Well, duh, of course not. You need to ask for that first, but hear this: Don’t ask for a salary review. Ask them when is the next salary review. This is the question you need to know the answer to for you to evaluate if you even want to spend your life in that place at all.

    Is the ring holders poop also invisible?

    Obviously it’s invisible while inside the person, but what happens if they make a little turd? Does it become visible in mid air or does it work like the clothes?

    What if they make a poo poo in the middle of a street while invisible, then walk away to a different town. What happens if the ring is then taken off?
