On the bright side, that's the "best" place to get a puncture.  Easily repairable.

[Jopax]

And as expected it was the usual spiel of promising bonuses and improvements but needing us to step it up, to take the job more seriously, to take responsibility.

Basically the same shit they spewed two years ago which lead nowhere after almost six months of giving our best. And all the talk of bonuses quietly got swept under the rug. Of course he refused to take any questions now, said those could come later, some rather pointed fucking questions I really wanted to ask, but I guess those would detract from the message he's trying to push, perhaps cast doubt on the shit he's promising even so those will have to wait for another time.

Of course it all boils down to push any and all responsibility down on us, the folks who are actually earning them money. So they can shaft us whenever they feel like it and just claim it's all our fault for not working hard enough.

Oh and apparently I can forget about taking any vacations longer than 2 days because I'd need to find my own replacement, which would have to be one of the other shift managers, which have to work their own shifts, while covering mine. So if say I wanted to take a work week off for whatever reason, I'd need to get three other people to cover for me, and each would have to do it on one of their off days.

That... sounds a lot like it's (past?) time to be looking for a place of employment that's less shite.

Bluh, the sertraline withdrawal's getting worse. I know it'll only last a few weeks at the absolute most, but in the meantime I'm just suffering in general.

Car warned me my tire pressure was low. This was a new tire, too.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I 200% need a new tire.  So ....

My 4x drive 2004 turbo adui is quite a catch except Im afraid of when (if) it will pop its shit.

Like it can make tire another 150k miles, bur its all luck lmafao.


P:  but, I've personally paid about 5k for it, and I bought it at about 110k on it.  at what milage is it worth my money??  I paid 3k for it and put 1.5k into it so far.  I think about 3k for 2023 is fair.........

[martinuzz]

Usually when your yearly repair costs exceed the price of a 'new' second hand car, it's time to start looking for a new one.
So yeah, if you paid 3k for it, another 3k for 2023 maintnance sounds like a good ceiling.

Then again, taking it to a mechanic for his professional opinion on the general condition and lifespan can likely give you a more accurate estimate, as long as it's a honest mechanic that's not just looking to make money.

[Great Order]

My personal rule of thumb (Which I've had to apply once) is that if fixing it is more than the car's worth, get a new one.

Got rid of my old car because it was old and worn enough that it was probably only worth a few hundred. The MOT failed and it would have cost about £500 to fix the issues, so I figured there wasn't much point.

[EuchreJack]

I kinda wish I knew what made me really upset today...

[King Zultan]

Maybe it was so upsetting that your mind erased it to save you.

[scriver]

That's my secret. I'm always slightly upset

[TD1]

I feel like I used to be more passionate and excited about things. 

A general gripe, but one I'm feeling more and more. It's hard to care where I know I should.

[MrRoboto75]

I swear I've seen this dermatologist for like two years, I'm using a soap, a cream, a foam, and an antibiotic every damn day and my face is still a lumpy awful mess.  Why is every doctor I see a joke?

[dragdeler]

You can expose yourself to the freeizng dry air and the sun, until you start peeling and the pimples become hard grains have their tips allmost hanging out without any force applied.

Or we inject you a tiny metal brush into every dirty pore and then throw you in an MRI.


Sry no actual solutions, just heard a bunch of bad experiences about their creams... Alcohol wipes can help sparodically but if you dissolve your natural oil film every day it'll probably just get worse over time. That leaves nutritional changes or hoping you grow out of it some day... I'm kinda convinced most of my bad pores were supposed to be beard but they never will be... eh

[MrRoboto75]

The only thing left is some stupid laser treatment, probably just another excuse to waste my money and time doing nothing like the rest of the medical world.

Another morning meeting with Volvo IT to get them to do their jobs....7am meeting, and none of them showed up for it. A meeting THEY said we HAD to have.

These guys fucking suck.
