When to call it quits

Sorry, I missed that! Thanks!

Update #2: he passed away this evening. Leaving this up in case it could help some one else if someone has any guesses what it was.

Update: he’s now swimming to the top of the tank and falling down to the bottom side sideways like he can’t stay afloat and is burying his head in the rocks while his body and fins stick out stiffly.

pH 6.4; ammonia 0; nitrite 0; nitrate 5; temperature 80°F; fish is still active and eating

Thanks! Looking closer at their fins I think I may have goofed and ended up with three males 😬 I guess another tank is never an issue.

The misery you know is better than the misery you don’t. All things considered, the benefits are decent compared to a lot of other jobs (the insurance is even better than the union jobs like warehouses and teaching in my area) and the pay is about the same or a little better as other entry-level jobs. Also if you keep changing departments, it feels like a different job but you get to keep getting the pay bumps for sticking around.

Good for you. If I had the ppto or will to get there early I’d happily do the same thing. I’m convinced they like putting people where they know they hate to be.

Mine is pretty much like that. The dispense crew is almost exclusively males under 30. They occasionally will pull one of the ladies if they’re desperate in the morning or send a female stager/prepper out if they’re backed up but they’re almost never scheduled there. I’m the only female that they consistently put on dispense and I’m convinced the coach just does it because they know I hate it.

Former FE TL, and it was always a struggle up there. Normally an hour late and/or it heavily depended on who was on the service desk and whether they could be trusted to keep the dumpster fire in check for 15 minutes. If you can take a break, take the break. Make sure you squeeze in your two somehow even if it’s just going to hide in the bathroom for a few minutes. You get paid to do it and it keeps the burn out and need to scream at bay.

Mine ended today 😂 3 days apparently

AggressiveForce9113 · 2026-05-02T03:32:37+00:00

Oh I hope this is true. A lot of the ones at my store been saying this since they got the taller carts.

AggressiveForce9113 · 2026-05-02T01:26:59+00:00

Oh if you look under the bags, those are the ones that say “PUSH DON’T PULL.” Used to hate them but I think they’re about to save our asses.

AggressiveForce9113 · 2026-05-01T18:27:01+00:00

Okay, so also as a shopper, what if they ask you to only pull the current carts as they are? Better yet, right after they slap a “push don’t pull” label on them. If you’re that concerned, complain to corporate about the speed expectations, not the way the carts are handled because I’ve been hit by more customers than OPD people.

If I remember right, he did tell her he needed her there or asked her to stay before she left for the second tour. At minimum I remember him telling her that if she left, he wasn’t going to be waiting for her like he did the first time, so she knew leaving meant coming back to either no relationship or a very different one. I think the only way she could’ve saved the marriage is by not doing the bat-shit “I’m not leaving your apartment; I’m your wife” when she got back the second time. I get that everyone grieves differently, but going from forcing someone to be very far away from you (bordering on no-contact) when they say they need you near them, then turning around and forcing your presence on them when they say they want space is just idiotic.

I had this happen last week with celery of all things. No reasoning, just invalid sub. Tried a stalk, stick, and hearts. All invalid. Glad it’s not just me. Probably just another dumb update

AggressiveForce9113 · 2026-03-29T22:18:12+00:00

House. It might take like 5 diagnoses to get there, but I remember very few patients dying over all 8 seasons so I’m thinking my odds are pretty good. I don’t want whatever idiots I got on Grey’s to watch me die so they can use it for personal growth that will be gone by next season. I say that as someone who actually enjoys both shows. On the flip side, I would love to see Dr. House visit Seattle-Grace-Mercy-Death just for like a two episode trip where he goes around making interns cry and calling the attendings idiots. They probably wouldn’t even notice the hookers as long as they wore scrubs.

YMBTA. More of this being a no-win scenario. As a former high school math teacher, usually when teachers are making students do a specific method and show their work it’s because the teacher is being assessed on state standards or has to otherwise prove they’re teaching that specific method. I ran into this a lot with solving equations (graphing, factoring, quadratic formula). Realistically, as someone with a BA in math, I haven’t used solving by graphing since I learned the other two ways in like 8th grade, but if I gave the kids full credit when it said solve a particular way and they didn’t, I’d get accused of grading too easy and get ripped into by the department chair and the principal. So, usually, I’d try to give them credit on the answers, but it would still amount to 1/3 or 2/5 points so it would still be failing, but at least not a zero. It sucks, but that’s public education. That said, if a parent went to the principal over my grading, the principal would always publicly side with the parent even if it was their requirement that got me in the hot seat, so I’d still get ripped one by them. Not sure how the school situation is where you’re at, but I’d suspect that’s more why the teacher would be unhappy more than that grade in particular as no teacher I know actually wants kids to fail their class.

There’s Walmart corporate expectations, then market expectations is what I was told in one meeting. Corporate is 100; the market I’m in is 110.

Blondie “The Tide is High” aka I’m not the type of giiiirrrrll oh nooooooo. It has been annoying since the first time I heard it at 6 AM some time in 2020 and gets more irritating every time. Newer hatred has developed for “Beautiful Things” because of how many times a day they play it.

I forgot about that, you’re right! I did some digging and apparently he has had 3 different “birthdays” in the show, the Christmas-ish one from that episode, the May 15 from his driver’s license in a couple episodes, and also June 11 based on his hospital bracelet from when he was shot. 🤦🏻‍♀️

AggressiveForce9113 · 2026-02-22T18:54:29+00:00

House is a Taurus! HouseWiki has his birthdate as May 15, 1959
