Does it get hot by your front door or in direct sunlight? We have a few in my house that go off if our kitchen gets too hot. We had to move them down the hall slightly and they stopped. A really old one we have upstairs, hardwired into the house electric (built in 86) trips if too much steam builds up in the bathroom and let’s loose into the hall.

Also OK Cupid, but my wife and I also knew each other back in high school. So that was our icebreaker. Ok cupid was the only dating app I could actually use because everything else required a Facebook profile, which I do not have…

I got my wife’s ring on etsy. It’s pearl and opal, but there are a good bit of jewlers on etsy. I would do a bit of research on the shop before you buy though.

There is no way this is a real thought process lmao.

TBH I feel like any social media platform, regardless of voting displays, has the potential to become a toxic environment.

I’m with this guy. Do what I can to help, and carry on with my own agenda. Can’t control something? It is what it is. I wasted a few years of life worrying about the world as a whole when I should have been focusing on my own little bubble.

The chipotle/Qdoba near me has gone way too downhill in the past few years for me. The burritos used to be huge, now they’re the size of a small potato. Also 50% of the time they mess up my order and I don’t realize until I get home and open it up.

Seeing how the banking industry runs on the inside. I work in ATM rigging. Banks operate in a state of complete chaos if you were wondering. I’ve never seen an industry where money wasted/lost just doesnt matter to them. Join a credit union. Seriously.

Thanks, I kinda spurt that out without thinking. My old torch lighter was butane. Couldn’t remember what it was that came in the tin can.

You probably need to pull the wick through more and trim it. Zippos should come with a long wick within it for that purpose.

Also I hope you mean butane and not gasoline lol

Yeah a combo meal runs like $13+…It’s ridiculous. My field guys at work eat out every day. I can’t afford it. Cheaper to hit the grocery store and make sandwiches all week.

I’ll agree with that. And they’re all so overpriced, I can’t afford to eat any of them lol

Try a fan. And this one’s weird, but I have an analog clock in my room and the rhythmic ticking helps me sleep.

I’m not sure if they were already being screwed or just thought they were next in line. This was my first real delve into corporate fuckery though.

This was years ago at a job I don’t add to my resume.

I was the incident. I worked at a plastic bottle factory as a packer, and I had gotten this job through a friend. The 2 of us got along with the manager pretty well. Had common interests and about the same mindset about being employed there. A few positions opened up and he came to us and asked if we’d like to move up to one of them. I chose to move up to forklift operator, he chose machine operator. We both liked the jobs a lot more after that. Of course with a promotion comes a raise right?

The manager that had us promoted actually found a new job shortly after we had been trained and were starting to handle our jobs independently, he brought us into the office along with his replacement that he was currently training and told us that we were due raises and he had started the ball rolling on that. The new manager said he was informed of everything and would follow up on it to make sure we were taken care of.

3 months go by, our old manager is long gone, and we were still making the same pay. We approached the new manager about this. “I just need you to bear with me, I’m still working on that”

Ok fine whatever…3 more months go by and we don’t see a dime. 6 months we’ve been making less than we should be now. Hell people are being hired at a higher rate than we make at this point. We confront him again. “Bear with me” he says again. I beared with him until about noon that day. I parked my forklift. I got in my car and left. All afternoon I’m getting calls and texts from people. My buddy tells me “you have no idea how many people days you just fucked up”.

I gently reminded him that we were getting taken advantage of. That we’ve been working for a lower wage than new hires after getting a promotion for 6 months. I also spilled these beans to other coworkers texting me about what happened. It didn’t take long…my buddy left mid day, 2 other machine operators left mid day. A string of packers stopped showing up, all but one daytime forklift driver either quit or walked out. They lost 10 people of varying positions in a month.

I couldn’t help but grin when my buddy told me he was done and one of my coworkers told me how many people quit before they left. I felt like my walkout made a difference that time.
