Shout-out to my coworker, who, upon hearing how put out I was at having to cut out caffeine entirely for the foreseeable future (hopefully just until I get my meds switched), announced he would quit drinking caffeine in solidarity

Which I didn't ask him to do, nor so much as imply that's something I wanted him to do- actually I outright told him it's chill and he didn't need to do that.

Bro went from drinking two to three 250-300mg energy drinks a night to just. Nothin. Cold turkey.

Why would you do that that sounds miserable, at least taper dude oh my god

Sometimes I still think of that interaction I had a few years back that went something like

Me: -and I was like, no, I saw 'em do it!

Coworker: it's not him.

Me: ...?

Cw: you said him

Me: Oh! No no no, yes, sorry, I said 'EM. E M. Like the. Second half of Them.

Cw: I don't use neo pronouns.

Me: ...??? It's not a neopronoun it's an accent-

I've been using my first favorite D&D character's name as an online name every now an again for the past few years and for some reason I keep forgetting that's a thing I do

My friend just named his Minecraft world with my and his character names and I ligit had a moment like HOW DOES HE KNOW ABOUT THEM?! I NEVER TOLD HIM ABOUT-

I'll tell anyone about my babiest boy Skrim, I played him in a three year long campaign and he suffered from DMs Favorite Disease because I accidentally made his backstory include a few of my DM's very favorite things. Bro loves putting the Dragons in D&D and references to Magic the Gathering, what can I say

The more you think about minimum wage jobs, the less sense they make.

Here is this entry-level job. A teenager could be trained to do it! It just happens to be fairly physically demanding - no, we're not gonna give you any kind of health benefits to mitigate that. Why would we? It costs extra for us. What do you mean you can't afford to live on our wage? That's not our problem. It's your own fault for not having a real job.

These jobs are the backbone of our society, btw. Restaurants, grocery stores, etc - our capitalistic society would go into 'crisis' without someone to keep the easy conveniences running, to the point where we were expected to work in a pandemic.

Yeah yeah arrhythmia heart palpitations bad whatever

The worst part of these meds I'm not going to be on much longer is that I've had to cut ALL caffeine ENTIRELY

No coffee

No tea

What kind of fresh hell is this

[hollowistheworld]

I really can and will blame the 9-5 for everything. "We're in a loneliness epidemic" well, we have to spend a third of our day interacting with people in a professional way that makes forming real friendships difficult and then we're peopled out by the time we're done. "People are eating more and more unhealthily" people have to spend more than a third of their day doing work related tasks and they don't want to spend their tiny amount of free time making food. "People aren't involved in their local communities" after spending more than a third of their day doing work related things people are tired and also all those community events take place during normal working hours. "People need to get more hobbies" after spending more than a third of their day working, people are TIRED and don't want to do anything that takes yet more energy. "Literacy is dying" to maintain your critical thinking skills you need to read/watch things that make you think and after spending more than a third of your day doing work related stuff you are TIRED and don't want to expend even more brainnpower. "People need to get outside more" People. Are. TIRED. Because they have to spend all of their time working or preparing for work or recovering from work or doing all the chores they couldn't stay on top of because of work. I can blame fucking anything on having to work, it is truly the root of all fucking evil.

[dingdongyouarewrong]

i'm getting the sense some of you are not actually forklift certified.

[averagejoey2000]

well damn . egg on my face

[dingdongyouarewrong]

THE PLOT THICKENS @averagejoey2000 explain yourself

[averagejoey2000]

I can't believe this is how I'm finding out that I got a scam forklift cert.

I took the cargo ops class at school but my teacher explained that it doesn't give a certification and I'd only be okay for ship's crane and the school forklifts. she said I could take an online exam and get my cert. I paid 60 bucks.

I'm googling and I'm seeing a lot of resources saying that the online programs cover the classroom part of the exam but not the in person practical aspect.

29 CFR 1910.178 (l)(2)(ii)

but I did the in person practical shit at school.

[averagejoey2000]

the back of the card even had fancy numbers on it. I couldn't have known that this isn't the one. this website sounded more official than certifyme.net, and there wasn't one with a .gov address.

[averagejoey2000]

so, I emailed OSHA, and they said that so long as I live and work in California, there's no such thing as forklift certification. I have to be told how to do it every time I get the job.

[averagejoey2000]

Update: I took a certification class in shipboard Material Handling Equipment at my federal job. *now* I'm forklift certified, but only on ships and piers and only for this company, but also rated to forklift explosives and hazardous materials. Also I'm a woman now.

[small-witch-big-hat]

congratulations on the woman! and the forklift certification!
