beansideBack to the office today, ew. Twice in a week just is annoying and bad. But, I will suck it up and do the thing, since it was my choice to go in on Tuesday. I don't know that I'll have that much to do, since I finished my big market last night, since they kindly sent it in around 2. I probably should have left it for today, but I was so bored yesterday.
We had a big discussion about assist and floor support in our team chat, which I participated in, having been floor support for a year. I found that I was one of three that the one guy would actively request to take his calls, because I would respond quickly and I knew IKEA policy and what I could and couldn't do. He said one member of floor support put a guy on hold and told them, "I need to figure out what to do with you." Needless to say, the customer was even more pissed off. It was an interesting discussion that spanned how you were scored on calls and the differences you'd get between the various quality people. That at least kept the last hour of work interesting.
The rest of the day was dull as hell, as there was very little work to be done. I spent most of the day on the D&D discord on my phone. The Curse of Strahd game is ramping up as people work on their characters. Tonight when I get home from work, I'm going to get a list of potential trigger warnings together and post them, so people can voice any concerns. There's a fair amount of them, because horror game. The one that's tripping me up is the racism. There's a tribe called the Vistani, which is a Romani analog. I was considering cutting them out entirely, but they're kind of important to the plot. So, I did some research, looking for ways to fix them, and found multiple Romani people who gave suggestions on what you could do. Their suggestion was to make them more of a celebration of the Romani people. In the module, they're all evil or neutral. Throw that out, and make some of them good. Bright colors, check, no longer all drunkards, check. Everyone is mystical, bye. Give them classes like the rest of D&D, not just Vistani Bandit. Evil eye, nope, you're completely going away, you can bestow curse like any good cleric, bard or wizard. I'm going to discuss it with the group, but I think it might be the best option without breaking the module.
Tomorrow we play Frostmaiden, and my little chaos muppets will go forth and try to find one of the stashes of clones of the evil wizard. It should be entertaining.
Aside from that, not much going on. Going to go get dressed and contemplate putting on a bra and shoes. Bras are bullshit. It annoys me that I'll be constrained to only checking my phone on breaks instead of being on tik tok during the slow times. Ah well. I shall have to deal.
Have a great Thursday everyone!

I just needed to know if we were kinkshaming Dracula.)
