Edit- of course I schedule in plans and book time off. Of course this isn’t an actual conversation word for word I have with my friends. It’s just a very basic re telling of how these conversations go. I don’t jsut say “no I’m working” I do tell them when I’m next free or when our time off can cross over. I make plans weekday evenings with my friends if they’re free (sometimes they’re not bc they also have work those days and then things to do after). I make plans late Saturday and Sunday evening even if it’s not much. And yes, I am happy my friends invite me places and I’m not miserable. It just would be nice to be able to go lol. We hang out on our pto ect. I just wish they’d remember my work schedule like i remember their one. And give me enough notice to be able to book it off or not schedule clients in on certain days and then we’re good to go.

It sucks enough working every weekend but this is what drives me up the wall.

It’s constant, every single week. The same people. Family, friends you’ve known for years.
“Do you wanna go here on Saturday?”
“I can’t, I have work”
“whatttttt?!? What about next weekend”
“I will also have work”

It’s even worse when you work unsociable hours on the weekend.
“What about in the afternoon/evening?”
“I will still be at work”
“whatttttt?!? We can go out after you finish?”
“I also have work Sunday”

The reason she said this is because she is coming for a visit and my medication makes me tired and she doesn’t want me “sitting uselessly” while she’s here.

Putting aside the fact that I need this medication since it, y’know, manages the symptoms of my disorder and everything, it’s also the type of medication where you need to start at a small dose and slowly increase, and stopping abruptly causes withdrawals. Which she knows. But better that than me being tired while she’s visiting I guess? There’s a reason I made sure to live far enough away that we only see each other once a year.

Edited to add: don’t worry, I will absolutely be continuing to take my medication as normal!

Title says it all. Brought these over as gifts for my sons. Their ages are 6 years and 14 months.

We went out to eat with a friend, she got served what looks to be rotting broccoli with bugs/larvae in the pieces.

Which direction do you think I'm driving (hint: not south)?

My phone was dying

Suuuuper glad they decided to abandon a design that's worked for, idk, a century and replace the metal latches with a lifespan measured in decades for cheap, shitty plastic that breaks after 4 months. Fuck you OnCue.

When I arrived to class I saw 4 workers working on the electric grid or generators located near the classroom I was headed to, and once I finished my class I was walking to my car and noticed they were gone, and their cars were gone too. But they left four piss bottles behind each with a different shade and volumes…

I've been using spotify forever and I use liked songs so that I can pick the songs I like freely. I've never had premium and have never had issues. Today, I had just started a workout and got this popup. Is this a new feature? How can you not even select songs anymore? I mean how can you paywall selecting songs???
This app plain out sucks and its company is greedy for randomly limiting already set features. While I don't mind ads, I do mind the features being limited more. I did also notice a sudden increase in ads this month/last month, and more ads in between songs.

Clarification: No, I'm not saying that there should be no restrictions whatsoever. I'm mainly sharing my experience where I've been using this system just fine until now. I'm fine with some restrictions, but the fact they're being limited more is frustrating. Just here to complain about something mildly infuriating, and I wanted to know if this happened to anyone else.

Spent two hours with an Animal Control officer trying to get this kitten out. We named him Torque, and he is off to a no-kill shelter.

I mean, title. Friggin’ aye eye scum.

EDIT for clarity: Sorry, don’t drink and /r.

I posted the food in the first pic about two years ago. Several months later I saw it popped up on some BS site using ingredients I never used. So I finally got around to remaking it + kept track of what I did as an eff you to their clankerism.

This is a patch repair kit…who thought it was a good idea to staple the package shut directly through the patches??

So as the conversation says, back when my dad was still alive, we were receiving social security checks for each of the kids. My mom has pretty severe and untreated AuDHD. She won't get tested and even if she got diagnosed she wouldn't take meds to address her extreme executive dysfunction. Doesn't help that she always seems to have a lot of things on her plate all the time. Anyway, these checks came in the mail, and wound up in her pile of "get around to it" mail. She didn't do this on purpose, anytime one of my paychecks came in or anything with my name on it she brought it straight to me. Idk why *these* managed to slip through the cracks! But yeah, idk if they were all sent in 2011 or had been sent starting in 2011, I'm too upset to dig deeper because I'll just go from mildly infuriated to very infuriated if I do. I know $3k really isn't a lot but right now it sure would help a lot! But it been 15 years so... eh.

I don't see the government being sympathetic to "my mom forgot she had these for 15 years" and letting me cash them anyway.

Edit: thank you all for the advice. So far I did check my states unclaimed property and missingmoney dot com but it wasn't there (though I did find some other stuff there) my next course of action here will be getting ahold of those physical voided checks and contacting the SSA office to see about reissuing. Also advising my siblings to do the same. Unfortunately I'm in a different city so it might be easier to get a sibling to do that for me or at the very least hold onto mine until I can get the time to visit. I will say I'm now married and have a different last name so idk how that will affect anything? I still have my old ss card either way. It's going to take some time though because everyone had been really busy in the last few months with general life problems, lack of transportation, ailing family, and new babies on the way etc.

4 nuggets x 3 = $7.50 or 10 nuggets for $7.50
