How are you doing? - Kiwi Farms Wellness Check

Plus, I'm slowly but surely getting over my fear of driving.
Driving is good. Driving is our friend.

If I wasn't a driver, I might have to deal with "national coming out day" or a supervisor with thr temerity to call herself my "leader."

Ditto on don't voluntarily leave. Not unless you have something better lined up, of course.
 
Terrible as always
Still a lolcow, working through a pile of work for school, extremely stressed, muscle problems and health issues. It’s a fun life.
 
Not too bad school is getting middle of road feel, and work is ok (glad to be working and not taking a loan from the government)
I have been lurking for a couple of months (before the merge) before joining and liked the farms. I was brunt out for imagine boards and Reddit. This place gave me the best of worlds and new content like MATI and the Rekieta law to listen to and an area with new interests like lolcow but a discussion that does not bait or hivemind. I am really glad I came and was really surprised it is not as toxic as other parts of the internet.

2 months in and I got a 96% on the first exam and am holding a 94% overall. It's amazing what happens when you actually try at something.
 
The day was off to a dismal start. Woke up feeling a little sick to my stomach. Which is probably a side effect of the Prednisone I had been taking to fight off bronchitis. And I was just kind of depressed anyway. But I met up with a friend when he got off work and went back to his place with him, and when we walk in the door his little girl-she's 3-runs up to hug him, sees me over his shoulder, and her face just lights up. Like she'd been waiting all day to see me. Just pure, undiluted joy. She runs over, waving frantically, saying "Hi Dan, Hi Dan!" over and over. Goes to hug my legs, so I crouch down and hug her back. And damned if I didn't choke up ever so slightly. To think I'm among her earliest memories, an imprint. Pretty wild. Not for the first time, I wished in a miserable, desperate way I could just wind the clock back and start completely over.
 
could be better, could be worse. the usual wondering if this could be my last week gainfully employed...They say you gotta screw up big to get fired from minimum wage but...idk Chick fil a gave me the axe just cause i kept wearing earbuds...while washing dishes. So who knows what the next week holds. Every week if i can just make it Monday and see the schedule still has me on it I get that tiny bit of relief...for a few days.



Well on the bright side hoping to get one last trip to spirit before Halloween, next payday's the 22nd a little close to Halloween they might be tapped for stuff i like, not that i need a costume for anything or decorations. Just something like a tee shirt or a new hat something like that.

Motherfucker, earbuds are such a major potential risk for food safety. They have zero reason belonging in a kitchen. If you were told once, I’m sure you were told a thousand times and just kept ignoring whatever middle manager was trying to keep the store open.

I said while washing DISHES I was no where near any food when I did that and besides...it's in the past and doesn't matter now.

It’s still a vector for contamination. An earbud falls out and touches a clean dish or falls into the sanitizer sink and your dumbass is either ignorant or negligent to the fact. My money says that it was a pain the ass to get you to do more pertinent food safety exercises like, say, washing your hands, and this was just an excuse.

I, for one, would bless the day I got fired from a fast food gig. I can't imagine working in such hell when I could dig ditches or suck cocks.
I did used to do the ditch digging but it really wasn't making enough to keep the lights on...and to quote the random.txt "I'm not a faggot nor will i suck anyone's dick."



All jokes aside feeling a little better now. Spoke with one of the higher ups before I left, Said I can do a good job and did do a good job....today, just need to do good all the time. Idk man with my coworkers one minute we're all nice and friendly to each other like were best friends the next it's all fighting and arguing over the most petty of bullshit. Like working for several Dr Jekyll's and Mr. Hyde's.


One last note, another box from Hellofresh arrived, it contained a free gourmet dish, porterhouse steak cuts with garlic and herb roasted potatoes and spring greens. Saving that one for a decent Saturday dinner.
