Title: Robo-Man Fandom: Marvel's Midnight Suns Rating: G Content notes: None apply Summary: icons of Marvel's Midnight Suns Tony Stark. made these for a friend who's obstacle to role-playing as this character was a lack of icons... and since i've been playing the game recently, i snagged screenshots to make icons from. (i also have a mod on the game to improve Tony's facial hair bc i can't abide the mustache-only look)
these were made for robo_man's journal, so if they give the okay, these are free to snag, otherwise, all theirs. XD

British Coworker: "When she first picked up on my accent, she asked if I was an English refugee escaping now that the UK has been overtaken by Sharia law."
Customer: "No, no, no. This room temperature water is too cold."
I poured some water from her teapot of hot water into it.
Me: "How about that?"
Customer: "Now it's too hot!"
Client: "It's a crypto! CatCoin!"
Me: "And you wanted me to design the website for it?"
Client: "No, you need to develop the coin. I can't pay you up front, but when people start buying it, I can split the costs with you."
Grandma comes to the door, pulls, pushes. She gives up. Defeated.
Twenty-something grandson pulls, pushes. Also defeated. Honestly, I'm not sure if he could've opened it even if it had been unlocked.
The hours of operation and the deadbolt are unforgiving.
So sweet! Combined with the dripping floral vines it has a surprisingly light, spring-time feel to it.
You don't see many intricate string work cakes in the U.S. anymore; it's just too fragile and time-consuming, and if you live anywhere with humidity? Fuggitaboutit.
P.S. My favorite black-and-white purchase EVER is our magnetic menu board. The design I use is back-ordered, but here's a similar style that's actually a better price:
I've been raving about our planner for over two years; we use it every week, and it still looks brand new! I love that it comes with chalk markers, then after those wear out its fun switching up the colors. (I'm on my 3rd set of markers, and this time I chose Vintage Pastels. SO PRETTY.)
Mine cost $20, but this one is on sale for less than $10. Score.
This menu board is a sanity-saver, minions: John and I decide the week's menu every Sunday, so no more asking each other what's for dinner every night. It's also great for keeping a shopping list and leaving each other notes and doodles, then easily wipes clean with water.
Stressed Mom: *A bit embarrassed.* "You're not a tour guide, are you?"
Friend: "No, madam, I'm not."
A sigh came out of [Stressed Mother]. She grabbed her book tighter.
Stressed Mom: "I'm sorry. You were speaking with such authority, and the book is so unhelpful, we kinda thought... you know..."
A customer has ordered a quattro formaggi pizza.
Customer: *Cutting into one of the slices.* "Which quarter is the blue cheese... because I don't like blue cheese."
(At the time of this story, I work in an arts and craft supply store after I quit my job as an optician due to a toxic boss and getting underpaid. I am a woman in my early twenties. The customer is a man in his late 50s.) Customer: “I want to build a camera […]
It is routine for parents to drive at highway speeds, the fastest clocked this year is 50mph, and to go around vehicles trying to park, in the parking lot, at a school. Often passing on both sides.
I’m the OP from “Like A Cat Right Before Dinner Time.” One evening a couple with a bouncy black Lab came in, and I greeted them from the cash wrap (as very few people actually want to be approached the instant they set foot in a store, contrary to what corporations think, we would greet […]
This took place in the mid 2000’s. Every day when I got on the bus home I would always see one boy get harassed by a couple bullies. They would shift between stock insults to making fun of his hair length and calling him a girl. Typically the boy just ignores them and takes a […]
(I work in a school, running the copy room.) Teacher Email: Please print this document for me in color. Me: I’m sorry, the color copy machine is down right now. Teacher: Oh, that’s ok, I just needed a picture for social media. Me: (baffled) You… could take a screenshot? Teacher: Oh! But when I take […]
In our small town (60000 people) we live in a residential area that’s said to be one of the better ones. Our settlement is three sets of blocks of flats, four in a set, each describing the sides of a square, with a playground in the centre. The blocks are close to 30 years old […]
(This was in the 90’s, before cell phones were a thing. Like most teenagers, I always kept a phone card on me so I would be able to call my parents from a telephone booth if I had a problem. They came in many colors and designs and I knew kids who collected used cards. […]
I keep forgetting to post about this: we've been troubleshooting the "missing notifications" problem for the past few days. (Well, I say "we", really I mean Mark and Robby; I'm just the amanuensis.) It's been one of those annoying loops of "find a logical explanation for what could be causing the problem, fix that thing, observe that the problem gets better for some people but doesn't go away completely, go back to step one and start again", sigh.
Mark is hauling out the heavy debugging ordinance to try to find the root cause. Once he's done building all the extra logging tools he needs, he'll comment to this entry. After he does, if you find a comment that should have gone to your inbox and sent an email notification but didn't, leave him a link to the comment that should have sent the notification, as long as the comment itself was made after Mark says he's collecting them. (I'd wait and post this after he gets the debug code in but I need to go to sleep and he's not sure how long it will take!)
We're sorry about the hassle! Irregular/sporadic issues like this are really hard to troubleshoot because it's impossible to know if they're fixed or if they're just not happening while you're looking. With luck, this will give us enough information to figure out the root cause for real this time.
Customer: "Umm, what's the vanilla?"
Me: "...It's a Frappuccino with vanilla flavour."
Customer: "Yeah, but like, what is vanilla? Is it like caramel?"
