“Surface acting is when front line service employees, the ones who interact directly with customers, have to appear cheerful and happy even when they’re not feeling it. This kind of faking is hard work—sociologists call it “emotional labor”—and research shows that it’s often experienced as stressful. It’s psychologically and even physically draining; it can lead to lowered motivation and engagement with work, and ultimately to job burnout.”

RELEVANT. 

Welcome to mah realm

This is also true for customer service people.  So BE KIND. If kindness is too hard, at least don’t be an asshole.  If not being an asshole is too hard, use email so you don’t have to interact with anyone directly.

AND PEOPLE WONDER WHY IM ALWAYS SO DANG TIRED!

This is why I like to stay in my room as often as I can. It is so exhausting to act like I care about people

Does this mean that Rumple and Pan ran a father-son pawnshop business in the Underworld?! While wearing matching suits?!

Wait…if Rumple went w/ Pan to the Underworld the first time around AND we know by the 5b promo that PeterPan works in the Underworld version of the Pawnshop…does that mean they had a father-son business during that time?!?! omg! this is a lot to take in…

@snafu-moofins

Ha ha! So when Rumple is telling everyone how terrible the Underworld is and how you’ll wish for the fire and brimstone in stories, he really means he was forced to run a business with his dad.

His TEENAGE dad.

I love this image so much.

Guys. You’re forgetting one thing. Gold ran a pawn shop and hired his GRANDSON. If pan has a pawnshop, he would need golds kid. If they are doing a parallel of golds shop, then NEIL would be the one who works for pan.

[intro of someone doing a normal day-to-day activity with someone else around. suddenly the camera goes blurry and the audio gets all distorted. they collapse, it cuts to black, the theme plays]

—-

cuddy: there’s this case. it’s weird because of these weird things. you might be interested

house: *limping through a hallway* im not interested

cuddy: but there IS this EXTRA weird thing about the case that i’m just mentioning as a side note

house: *grabs all the files out of her hand* i’ll do it

—-

[house, cameron, foreman, and chase are in house’s office. house is at the whiteboard]

house: the symptoms are this, this, this, and this. what could it be?

chase: well it could be [fairly common disease]

house: come on! think outside the box!

cameron or foreman: well…… i guess it COULD be [much more obscure disease]

house: now THAT makes sense. put them on [medication for obscure disease]. 

—-

[cameron, chase, or foreman are with the patient in the patient’s room]

cameron/chase/foreman: well, good news– you seem to be responding to treatment.

patient: *smiles* that’s great!

cameron/chase/foreman: and you can go home in a few days! *turns away briefly to write something on a clipboard*

[suddenly the patient starts shaking and convulsing and the monitor starts beeping really loud and fast]

cameron/chase/foreman: THEY’RE SEIZING! *GRABS PATIENT* ATIVAN, STAT! 

[it cuts to black with the monitor still going crazy]

—-

[house, cameron, chase, and foreman are back in house’s office with the whiteboard]

house: *snarkily* the treatment isn’t working. clearly it’s not [the first obscure disease]. any ideas?

cameron: it could be [another obscure disease], but this one symptom doesn’t match up.

house: it it possible……. our treatment could have caused that symptom?

cameron: oh my god…… yeah it’s definitely possible. get them on [medication for the second obscure disease] and [medication to reverse effects of the first medication], stat.

—-

[a shot of the patient wheezing and looking pale while hooked up to a bunch of tubes is shown. house looks in through the window to the room thoughtfully]

house: this treatment isn’t working either. at this rate they’ll be dead by tomorrow morning.

chase/cameron/foreman: we’ve tried everything……….

house: *sees something completely random in the hallway* *suddenly looks REALLY thoughtful* wait a minute……..

chase/cameron/foreman: what?

house: *explains a disease that’s even more obscure than the first two and that is vaguely related to the random hallway thing*

chase/cameron/foreman: well, if you’re wrong, the treatment will kill them.

house: only one way to find out…….

—-

[shot of medicine dripping into the iv, then fade to black]

[shot of patient looking significantly better, smiling and laughing]

chase/cameron/foreman: i can’t believe it worked……

house: *to the patient* we’ll have you home by tomorrow.

patient: thank you so much. *says something wise and deep that is vaguely related to house’s current emotional state*

house: *looks pensive*

[fade to black]

HAHAHAHAHA!!

I jsut realized something

Iknow that everyone believes that the riverpersons message about “beware the oen who speaks in hands” could be about gaster because wingings uses hands for some letters but I don’t think that’s who they were talking about

It’s alphys. You meet the river person right before getting in alphys’s lab and during the mettaton quiz show,

I think the riverperson was warning frisk not to trust alphys because alphys was the one who planned out everything in hotland and made flowey and is generally someone who fucked up a lot
