Massive Deep-Sea Shark Checking Out Our Submarine


So, apparently these Sixgill sharks can get up to 11-14 feet. Reports also indicate that they're generally harmless (unless they see camera flashes), like to chill out in the deep depths, and are known to hang out closer to the surface at nighttime. So basically, if you're a diver who likes to go for night dives in the Puget Sound, you might come across one of these behemoths.

World's Longest Waterslide at Escape Theme Park in Malaysia


Honestly, this insanely lengthy water slide adventure looks like it'd be very inviting for anyone looking to drift off into dreamland for a bit. The sound of the water, the fresh air, the scenery provided by nature, etc...all about it. Might want to pack a bottle of water and a snack for the journey though.

14-String Guitar Is 8 Better Than Normal Guitar


Anyone out there who can't find a bassist but also has a few extra hands could definitely benefit from this glorious musical monstrosity. And what an uncomfortably wide fretboard. Word has it that to find a fret board for a musical instrument like this they had to repurpose yo momma's surfboard. 

Okay, yeah it also sounds cool.

Humorous Tumblr Post Imagines Where Books Come From


So well, today I learned that books are adorable when they're first hatched. With that being said you've got to hand it to the imaginative minds of Tumblr to take us to creative places we never saw coming...like, where on earth books actually come from? On top of that, Neil Gaiman backs the theory, so it might as well be recognized as totally legit. For some more gold from Tumblr check out this post about how relationships evolve over time

Unrealistic Movie Details That Won't Stop Being Annoying


Sure, movies don't have the time to account for literally every plot-independent detail in a character's life. Plus, a 10-hour movie where the main character spends half their time in traffic and on the toilet wouldn't be fun to watch. Probably. But there are too many flagrant and obviously unrealistic movie moments that never get corrected. For some more movie dumbness, here's tumblr uncovering the nine types of movie posters.

Employee Outsmarts Unfair HR By Citing Guidelines


Even though it a lot of jobs feel like we're signing away our lives to be at the total mercy of a giant corporation, sometimes we actually have more power than we think. This person was getting jerked around but it turned out they had some extra rights up their sleeve. Even small affronts can motivate employees, like this worker whose wages were illegally docked so he crushed his boss's dreams.

While this was not my first job, it was my first one where I was part of a union and learned about some of the pros and cons of unions (mostly pros like regular raises, breaks, holiday pay, etc.). We had a woman there who was basically our human resources person

Is there anyway you can find out which is the correct day for my interview?" but the manager on duty advised me that I was correct as they had checked the calendar in her office and she had written it down and so he, the front end supervisor, and the other manager who came in to start his shift all interviewed and hired me instead.

She was always making excuses for why I couldn't put in to be transferred to another department when they were hiring people for those departments like bakery or deli and kept me as cashier even though it was lower pay. Even so, I came back to work there over my winter break for college (I had gone away to college instead of commuting

Font - Here is where my malicious compliance comes in: our union states that after a waiting period (I believe it was 3 months) we get "holiday pay" for working Sundays and holidays. (It was time and half). We also are entitled to a raise every 6 months and being away at college is not suppose to effect that since we join the union before leaving and come back on our breaks and still owe our dues during those times when are still part of the union but away at school. I got my first pay check stu

Font - union reps at the time. He was a born problem solver and told me right away he can fix the payroll error for me and make sure that I got not only the proper wage from now on but that I would get the back for the time I should have gotten the raise but didn't. As far as the holiday pay though that had to be taken care of by Sally since she was in HR and he suggested we go see if she was free and speak with her.

6.

Font - She just spoke to the both of us in a condescending tone about how this was union policy that I had to start all over again with seniority and that I had to earn that holiday pay again by being there for 3 months. He pointed out, as did I, that I was getting this holiday before leaving for college and even over the winter break that I had worked but she just kept saying to me, "It's union policy." My manager calmly tried to negotiate with her and get her to correct and even stated that ot

Font - "Okay so you are saying that I can't get my holiday pay even though I was before I left to go back to college at the end of January, due to union policy, correct?" I asked. "Yes," she said with a long dramatic sigh that was meant to say, "Like I have been telling you." I nodded, grinned and stated, "But union policy also states that I don't have to work holidays or Sundays and that I can't be penalized for refusing to do so, correct?" My manager grinned at me like he was very proud of me

8.

Font - "Okay well then, here is the compromise: since union policy states that I can't get the holiday pay for working Sundays and holidays, for the rest of the summer, I will not work any Sundays or holidays and per union policy, I am allowed to do this," I said with a shrug. She immediately starting laying on the charm about how I am such a "great worker" and that they "really need me to be there to help out with Sundays and holidays" but I pointed out that they had plenty of other employees w

Font - My manager commented that he and I needed to change the schedule and casually mentioned how this was going to be hard as he now had to take me off for next Sunday and Monday (as that Monday was Memorial day) and it was a Thursday but that the store would just have to make it work if they couldn't find anyone willing to come in. Once she had left for the day he called me upstairs to his office to help with the schedule since I had to work so many days each week. I walked in to find him and

Font - On Memorial day and the Fourth of July, I got a call asking if I can come in because they had other people call out sick who were scheduled. I just calmly explained that I was no longer working Sundays or holidays and that Sally could explain why. Before the end of the summer she found a new position and quit and the new hr person was much nicer. One of the first things she did was make sure I and a few other college students who had similar issues with the holiday got our holiday pay rei

Tumblr Thread: Cats Are Just Eloquent Enough To Be Melodramatic


It's long been an observation of tumblr users that cats are overdramatic food-craving sociopaths who speak like disparaged Victorian children. That's just half of it though.

Twitter Thread: Dude Accidentally Lets Raccoon Into His Hammock


Hanging out in the yard is all fun and games until you accidentally coax a raccoon into your hammock area. Arron Reynolds described the moments of panic that set in when he realized he was sitting face to face with a raccoon who seemed just as confused as he was. For another intriguing animal story, here's a dog who figured out how to herd a lawn roomba.

Organism - Aaron Reynolds @aaronreynolds I've started a new evening ritual: I leave all my technology inside except my Walkman, and I get into the hammock in the back yard and listen to an album from start to finish. My cat has been curious about this new habit, and I've been trying to coax him into the hammock – - 12:38 PM · 23 Jun 20 · Tweetbot for iOS
