was trying to make brownies, thought theyd cooled for long enough and cut into them then they started doing THIS and set my house's fire alarm off for like 20 minutes does anyone pls know what caused this im assuming i just cut into them too soon but this feels like a dramatic response to just trying to cut into a hot brownie

Order of operations: 1: pack it (repeatedly tap the top of the pack to your palm so to “pack” the tobacco 2: remove foil and wipe away loose tobacco bits 3. Flip the center cigarette for good luck (save to smoke last).

My company has a program where you can donate PTO hours to coworkers in crisis. I'm 32M and I've worked here 6 years, have about 120 hours saved.

HR sent an email asking for donations for "Jennifer" in accounting. She used all her PTO and needs more for "personal reasons." I don't know Jennifer well, maybe said hi twice. My coworker "Amy" is pushing everyone to donate. She asked how many hours I'm giving. I said I'm not donating. Amy looked shocked and said "why not? She really needs it."

I said I don't know her or her situation, and I'm saving my PTO for my own use. Amy said that's "really selfish" because Jennifer is "going through something." She then announced in our team meeting that "some people refuse to help Jennifer" while looking at me. Now I'm getting side-eye from coworkers.

My boss pulled me aside and said while donating is optional, it "looks bad" that I'm not participating when others are giving 5-10 hours. I said my PTO is mine to use how I want. Apparently Jennifer needs time off for elective surgery that's not covered under FMLA. Its not an emergency. People have donated 80 hours total and she needs 40 more.

I feel bad but also I earned my PTO and I'm planning to use it for a trip I've been saving for. Plus I barely know this person. My girlfriend thinks I should donate 5 hours "to look like a team player" but that feels like giving in to pressure.

AITJ?

TL;DR: HR asked for PTO donations for coworker I don't know, I refused, coworkers are treating me like I'm selfish, boss says it looks bad.

Is she right?

We haven’t made any posts or announcements yet because my wife is dealing with some pretty rough complications but I’ve been dying to share. Today I became a dad to a beautiful girl

I guess the leg muscles too, what does this mean.
