Definition of a Win-Win right there.
Management at my shift job was clueless. Drowning in turnover and couldn't understand why.
I tried to clue them in but either they were truly dumb or they just didn't want to hear it

The biggest issue? Several positions required a degree... the gas station up the street was hiring for a cashier... at almost $1 more per hour.

Edited: Missed my response to other quote - stay tuned

Why do employers think they can ask for the earth and then pay peanuts???

It's still Tuesday... feels like an 80-hour day
So, before I sign off... what's everyone else up to?

QQQQQQQ
At this rate, I'll never forget poor Beetlejuice

Hey, it's better than Candy Man

What? If they don't tell you how well you did, then how do you know?

Thanks for the update - nice to hear what folks have going on. Lovely to hear mom's 90th went well.

My mom took a few tumbles in later years. Not easy being on that side of things. It's supposed to be little kids and skinned knees... not aging parents and broken bones.

Given the context yeah... unframed? SCB took the story to a new level

It's nice to have siblings at those times. They know you'd be there if you could... and I'm sure you're checking in with them all.

I heard spelling didn't count on that test. Now I'm all confused.

Sounds... fancy... and expensive!

Hmm - thinking that's a trophy I'd rather not win

Thanks for stepping in, B2. Hope taxi duty went well today.

Here's the thing about Late Day Check-Ins... someone else always gets there first

Mmm, hmm

Never gets old *giggleSNORT*

What? That wasn't an open for Yo Mama jokes?
My bad





Food cravings, @Missk_2022 ?

Hey, stranger - we missed you!

At least it's good driving weather?

Ooooh... It's like a lit up runway for the fat, happy bumble bees

With that kind of flexibility, there might be far fewer complaints about sciatica

Oh, I needed that...
not as much as I need my house cleaned for $50 but...

I agree... when cyber meets IRL? Some folk just lose their

Oh, that's a lot. Wishing all the best for each one!!

Took the words right out of my... keyboard

Hoping that does the trick for you!!

OMG! Same... I almost didn't get caught up here today.
Next 2 weeks are gonna be rough.
So if I miss a day - I'm just overworked trying to meet the deadlines of 3 people

I would love some chicken chip cookies... I really like mine and if I make a batch down the hatch they go

 

[Missk_2022]

Sounds yummy! Can other fruits be used?

I made a strawberry one once...it was good

I bet peach would be yummy in your tummy

 

[Qky75]

Chicken.....chip.... Look ok I can appreciate a savory biscuit....but umm how can I trust a chicken chip? That sounds like it comes from an even shadier place in the bird than the infamous chicken nugget.

That one may be a case of mother forklift autocorrect...

I'm outta here too. Good night everyone.

 

[Wonderer67]

I’m waiting till the Mets fuck up this game and lose to go to bed…

 

[Wonderer67]

they fucked it up.

Nite all!

So glad to be done with the good old garden fence. I fell asleep this afternoon, and when I woke up it was magically planted, and the sprinkler was running on there.

After some caffeine, I spent some time cleaning up the scattered tools in the garage and cutting up the extra scrap fence for the metal recycling.

After all that work, I feel like another nap!

Good job!

So long post...but I am so fucking over this situation

So my sister is disabled and she has a caregiver who was going through some stuff (self induced imo) and my dad decided to be king of the white trash douche bags and invite her her 10 yr old mouthy daughter and their dog and cat to live with my parents.... so over the last 2 years

1. No rent utilities etc required to be paid
2 my 85/86 year old parents would take care of the animals up to and including getting their shots and spayed spraying the yard for fleas, buying some of their food etc...
3. Their rooms look like a bomb went off...
4. The upstairs bathroom is ruined and will require repair because they dont know how to get in the shower without praying water everywhere
5. The 10 yr old talks to my mom like an adult and is disrespectful as hell....
6. They do nothing to be helpful....nothing
7. Throws my mom's silverware away


So a couple weeks ago There was a heated conversation where she ...let's call her b... and my mom talked about it being told she needs to find a new place to live it has been 2 years and it's time to go. She threatened to not take care of my sister anymore if she couldn't live there ...and how my other sister and I dont help pat but his sisters do (we aren't welcome) and then she was like i dont see why it is such a problem just because you dont like the dog... my mom had to explain to her about 8 months ago that she isn't a dog sitter a cat sitter or kid sitter .....

Well tonight my parents were going out to dinner for father's day and b and the brat were on their phone doing laundry. They put the dog out on the chain ..with no water... when they got back from the pizza place. My nephew heard the dog making noise and asked if it was OK. Mom said yeah it makes those noises and they went intside. Apparently it wasn't.. they dog was in distress.... as they were rushing by my nephew said " I asked grandma if the dog was ok" and b called my mom a fucking bitch and rushed to the vet....

Update: the dog died

My mom did nothing wrong... has never except given a ungrateful bitch a place to live.... while my dad sits back to be Mr good guy.... I am so fucking over it

Call Adult Protective Services. They might be able to help. Sounds like a fucking nightmare!

 

[Lilianna23]

It may come to that.... but my parents are the ones who have to initiate. Always better if they just leave.

They probably won't leave on their own. They're squatters now.

 

[Lilianna23]

Well hopefully this institutes a move out.... she was looking at houses .. this may move up her timeliness. Easier if they leave willingly...but my sister and I are ready to step in... my dad is the problem...he wants to be king of the white trash douche bags

Has your dad been evaluated for dementia? It might help explain some things.

 

[Lilianna23]

I am the dumping pot for everything... they dont want me to do anything... or dont need me to "fix it" they just want me to listen.... well tell that shit to someone else.... oh and when I say dont dump that shit in me...they say that they aren't and that I am a bad listener.... my sister wants to talk things out...well I have heard the same shit for 20 years...get fucking over it and move on...

It's so hard being the one everyone vents to. They might say they don't want you to do anything but, really, they do.

 

[Lilianna23]

One of my first thoughts when I read your initial post was "Is this a "Licensed Caregiver?"
If so, as much as I don't like involving Govt in anything I do, that b... sounds like a great candidate for license revocation... just a thought.

Yes. They can be reported to the appropriate agency. Sometimes just the threat of reporting will get them to change their behavior.

 

[Lilianna23]

You shouldn't be and don't have to be used as "an emotional tampon."

I've never heard that term, Boat!

 

[Lilianna23]

We do also! It’s in my top five movies for sure. Won a ton of awards, top notch acting, cinematography is off the charts. What’s not to love? I’m so easily led…now I want to watch the movie again! Found your Denys book/s…

View attachment 2548737
OK…that’s the hardcover and for a Buck-0-Seven it better be signed!

View attachment 2548738
This is the one I nabbed and I promise you, it’ll read just like the Cadillac version!

Two other books popped up when I went to retrieve this…one on the relationship between Karen and Denys and the other a focus on the relationship with Beryl Markham. Her book is a good read also, as her life story is little more adventurous than Baroness von Blixen’s…IMO. Have fun going down the Out of Africa rabbit hole!

Tummy was upset all day…took my charcoal which worked too well…. Now I’m scrambling to get ready for work and deal with this issue….. It must be Monday…

Let’s go to a happy place…Bonsai MZ

Looks like I'll have some reading to do during the winter!

 

[Noor]

Swallowed the new meds and now we wait.

 

[Lilianna23]

Haha.... maybe meat coma daddy

LOLLLLLL!

 

[Lilianna23]

Doing a 24 hour dry fast today, anyone ever do it? Much easier than drinking water.

What is a "dry fast?"

And, you seem new here. Welcome!

We run this thread a little differently.

Read the first post...goes over the "rules" so to speak.

I will summarize:
1. No religion
2. No politics
3. No drama
4. No hitting on the women-- dm the person if interested.... if they don't respond.... there is your answer.

I will add
5. For God sake read a profile before you dm the wrong person.
6. If your first post is heavy on the innuendo ..... you need to slow your roll

This thread is like the bar cheers or the corner coffee shop. We are FRIENDS here and not like other threads...we are fiercely protective of the vibe and each other. If this sounds like a place you would like, stick around.... if not there are eleventy billion other threads that will suit your needs.

To get an idea of the vibe I would scroll through the last 10 pages or so and you will see.

 

[Lilianna23]

Per the first post:
“
Talk about whatever you want: food, sheds, baby goats, nudist camps. Let’s avoid politics, religion or drama.

And respect one another. This place is built on respect for each other.

This is not a pickup joint. If you’re gonna try to get cyber laid here, you’ve come to the wrong place - or at least build some rapport first.

Order a coffee. A beer. And a nice dessert. Let the barkeep know what’s on your mind.

There shall be no talk of romping or frolicking.”

(Whispers) There might be talk of romping and/or frolicking!

Trip was okay.


He seems worse.


It wouldn't surprise me if he expires this week, really.

Poor old cat!
