Showerthoughts

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

I hated that when I did overnights. I didn't even get compensation for the extra hour of work.

I'm on 3rd shift & get paid an hour of OT in the fall for working daylight savings. In the spring if you work it you get paid an hour of straight time since you worked a full shift.

Nice, that's how it should be.

That's incredibly unfair. Everyone says we don't, but I just checked my timesheet and it's listed as a 13 hour shift (instead of 12) with a notation marking it as happening during a time shift.

It's more than simply unfair. It's theft, wage theft, plain and simple.

It was, I didn't stay there long. That one thing was one of many things indicative of a bad employer.That's good that your employer treats you fairly though.
