My headcanons on what type of manager certain Haikyuu!! Volleyball clubs would have~ (Featuring Aoba Johsai and Inarizaki)

These have been bouncing around in my head for a few days, so I had to write them down~

Aoba Johsai

Someone headstrong and no nonsense, but encouraging in their own way.

Sighs in annoyance at Oikawa's antics, especially with how petty he towards certain opponents (but encourages him to take down Ushiwaka).

Gets along well with Iwaizumi and the other third-years, is one of the few that can tame Mad Dog and encourages the first-year in their own laid-back way.

Pretends not to be too invested this club, but in reality, is invested so much to see Aoba Johsai go far.

Gets annoyed with handling any gifts from fans ("I'm your manager, not your mail box, Oikawa!")

Thinks Shiratorizawa is the most boring group of people they've ever met and not afraid to voice it.

Inarizaki

Collected and hard-working but gets flustered easily. Doesn't talk that much but when they get flustered, they have a bad habit of rambling.

Gets along mostly with Kita and Osamu because of their personality. Atsumu is usually the one flustering them (On purpose? Accidental? That's anyone guess. Gets even more flustered when Kita or Osamu stands up for them).

Like with Aoba Johsai's manager, gets annoyed with handling any gifts from fans ("If you actually cared, you'd give these gifts to the players yourself").

Does not like the band, finds it pointless.

The third-years treat them like a younger sibling (especially Kita and Aran), gets along well enough with the second-years (though, has a list of all the things that bug them about the second-years. Atsumu's is the longest) and tried to encourage the first-years.

Cried at the lost at Nationals, fully seeing how hard everyone worked.

On another note, being an administrator is so weird. I’m lowkey not sure how my job is real some days.

I write little memos or draft documentation on agency letter head.

I transfer calls lmao - I fear I may get all of the ones the switchboard operator doesn’t know what to do with. Because I often field calls where I have to connect someone to the right extension and department - and have very little to none prior context or knowledge but sheer stubbornness and process of elimination to guide me.

I have learned that apparently my administrative skills are so highly valued that when I transferred a call to my boss’ boss’ boss’ - and he missed the call because he was in a meeting - he immediately followed up at my door first chance he got.

I had no idea I possessed such power?

Anyway, Thomas Lawerence and I are both managers - what if told you some managers shepherd the shepherds and that it’s no less an important role? Like for real, that’s my gift in both the secular and religious roles I currently hold. 😌

I also feel him when he gets stressed out doing his little management duties. It’s a hard knock life to be a manager.

My boss regularly asks me if I have higher aspirations than being an admin assistant and I’m like: “My guy, someone has to take sure this place doesn’t crumble because you lot forgot to clean the fridge, tend the fires, filter the flow of information, keep the day to day operations going.” Could also be the plot of Conclave. 😆💀

Also like - who else would show you how to download a file or make copies of I wasn’t here???

Me 🤝 Thomas Lawrence making sure the place doesn’t fall apart and crumble around us.

Management right?

[five-pebbles-big-naturals]

One of the managers at my job (fast food) tried to convince me and another coworker that the Earth is flat. Apparently she “used to be a hard core globe earther” and my coworker asked her “so when did you get stupider” and i love that

[anarchistin]

Authority had reigned so long over men, that it has taken such possession of humanity. It has left garrisons everywhere in the mind.

Even today, it is difficult, other than in thought, to chip it away from top to bottom. Each civilizée is a fortress for it, which, under the guard of prejudices, stands hostile to the passage of that invading Amazon, Liberty.

Thus, those who believe themselves revolutionaries and swear only by liberty, proclaim nonetheless the necessity of dictatorship, as if dictatorship did not exclude liberty, and liberty dictatorship.

What big babies there are, truth be told, among the revolutionaries! — and big babies who cling to their daddy — for whom the democratic and social Republic is necessary, doubtless, but with an emperor or a dictator — it’s all one — for the governor; people mounted sidesaddle, and faced towards the rump, on their donkey’s carcass, and who, their eyes fixed on the perspective of progress, move away from it as fast as they approach it — the feet in this position galloping in the opposite direction ahead of the head. These revolutionaries, bare-necked politickers, have preserved with the imprint of the collar, the moral stain of servitude, the stiff neck of despotism.

Alas! They are only too numerous among us. They call themselves republicans, democrats and socialists, and they have fondness, they have love only for authority in the arms of iron: more monarchistic in reality than the monarchists, who beside them could nearly pass for anarchists.

What’s your boss saying about you?

[monsieurgillesandre]

Monisur Andre gave me a bagel today! He's a good man!

[somerandomg33k]

I am only doing what is necessary at work.

My manager says, "There is always something to do in the stock room." That is something my gas station manager said too. But with how slow this week and month as been, I doubt that. Oh sure, I can randomly recount something. If I don't have a hot list, requests to fulfill, or parts to put away, I am not doing any extra unnecessary work. I am not paid well enough to care about this job to be extra productive. I will watch Twitch streams and YouTube videos on slow days. Or caught up on my social media presence.
