Agreed. :(

I don't know if he's given up or just doesn't have time to deal with Mene. Since he poached Yan to do other stuff for him I'm assuming he has other projects in the workings so that might be taking up his time.

Right, and whatever real life job he might have. At least he still puts Mene back up whenever it goes down...

Ow, I slept wrong yesterday afternoon while taking my nap and now my neck is killing me whenever I turn my head. Why is the table so hard to take a nap on?!

Because tables aren't soft and pillowy? ^^;

Yeah...my arms aren't good cushions either. Like, they're fine to rest my head on, but after a few moments they start pins and needles from the weight of my head so I can't do that for long. I brought a pillow to the office to use, but it's a bit too hard so it just makes my neck hurt even more. Urrgh.

The floor is pretty dirty so probably not. Maybe I can sleep on the conference table, though that spot usually goes to another coworker...

Pffft! Is this an office or just one big communal bedroom?

We sometimes take naps during lunch break after we finish our lunches. :P

I think it's a pretty common thing here to take a nap after lunch XD

Clearly. In the US on the other hand...

You're looking very flowery, by the way ^^

Noon naps aren't a thing in the US? !!

Thanks! I'm trying to get everything to mesh with each other and it's slow-going. Hopefully I'll be able to get there. ;;

Nope, they're not. Nor are any kind of afternoon breaks during work for employees. Hell, in some states, the most of a "break" you'll get is five or ten minutes to grab a cup of coffee or use the bathroom. If whatever company you work for hasn't figured out a way to get away with no breaks at all during a shift .

Basically, the US is a shithole if you want a good job. Unless you're a CEO or self-employed, they're all horrible.

Wow, that sucks. D:

We usually get a lunch break from 12:00 - either 1:00 or 1:30, so if you eat quickly you can use the rest of the time to take a quick nap. During work time there's no break but you can get up to get a drink from the water machine or use the bathroom.

But yeah, one needs to be high up the management ladder or be self employed in order to have more free time.

Yeah...some jobs here in the states will let you get up and use the bathroom or get a drink of water without counting it as a break, others...not so much.

Basically, the US runs on the adage of "give us your soul and we'll give you a little bit of money that you can't even live on". Frankly, if I was going to sell my soul it'd be for WAY more than $8 per hour (or less, depending on which state you live in).

Wow, can't believe even bathroom breaks are optional rather than a mandatory right. >.> I know some factories are like that, but still, it really sucks. I tend to need to rush to the bathroom every twenty minutes if I drank enough liquids.

lol Yes, a lot of jobs are like that here too. Yay minimum wage! *sarcasm*

Minimum wage is a joke. Originally, minimum wage was supposed to ensure that workers had enough to live on, without having to work 20-hour days seven days straight, and still not have enough money to make ends meet. Once upon a time, they really were a living wage...but for whatever reason, they only got raised on a linear curve rather than an exponential one. Which means now in order to make ends meet, one person has to work two or three minimum-wage jobs, and still have to decide which bill to skip in order to, y'know, not be homeless.

Ugh yes. I don't think it's quite as bad here where I live, though it sort of depends. But yeah, everything's inflating except for our salaries it seems.

Yeah I live with my dad too. Given how ridiculous the real estate prices are around here I'll probably just have to wait until I inherit the house one day because there's no way I'll ever be able to afford my own place.

Alas, I doubt I'll inherit anyone's place, so eventually I'll have to find a place of my own. Never lived in an owned house in my life, always rented

We're pretty lucky that we have our own house, living in someone else's house and having to pay them isn't fun. :(
