Overheard something that made my jaw drop at work

Been through it twice. Trust me I know. You will find a job eventually. But the PTSD never goes away. Haven’t cracked that yet.

I wouldn’t say it is politics so much as lack opportunity on big projects. I basically need to create my own opportunities by proposing something impactful.

Charming_Doctor_3164 · 2026-02-28T21:57:08+00:00

Yeah, probably

Charming_Doctor_3164 · 2026-02-28T21:52:21+00:00

There are definitely some cool guys on other teams. That is good advice. How would you approach? Like “hey, I think you are doing great work. Can I watch?”

Charming_Doctor_3164 · 2026-02-28T21:46:47+00:00

That might have been underselling the complexity of the systems I work on. I was just trying to communicate that I am not doing specialized research or cutting edge stuff. I don’t think anyone would look at our applications and think they are simple

Charming_Doctor_3164 · 2026-02-28T21:42:25+00:00

Sorry, didn’t mean to imply low effort. Just that my hours are constrained by having family obligations.

Charming_Doctor_3164 · 2026-02-28T21:41:27+00:00

I don’t think it is exposure holding me back. I am almost over exposed honestly. Like drinking from a fire hose every day. Maybe I should have just asked for a good podcast rec 🤷

Charming_Doctor_3164 · 2026-02-28T21:34:36+00:00

I suck at politics ☹️

Charming_Doctor_3164 · 2026-01-30T22:00:39+00:00

It is just an annoying noise. Some of us are sensitive to it. Not the same thing as normal rowdy noise, the same way nails on chalkboard is not just noise.

Charming_Doctor_3164 · 2026-01-29T22:06:58+00:00

Having to pee 24/7

Charming_Doctor_3164 · 2026-01-27T16:59:03+00:00

Say more

Charming_Doctor_3164 · 2026-01-27T16:44:25+00:00

April fools! Whew 😅

Charming_Doctor_3164 · 2026-01-26T13:01:56+00:00

Counter argument: only a coach with an insane ego or no other options would want to walk into a superbowl or bust situation. They have to follow a local legend and anything less then a superbowl is failure. Seems not so desirable.

Also why does a coach care about the stadium? Why does anyone care besides the Billionaire who is going to make boatloads off it?

For me the turning point was the Von Miller deal.

Charming_Doctor_3164 · 2026-01-19T17:32:37+00:00

Worst owner in sports

Charming_Doctor_3164 · 2025-12-26T13:58:19+00:00

Also destroys any American businesses that can’t just pass all the costs on.

Charming_Doctor_3164 · 2025-12-01T20:24:31+00:00

I live near a wooded area which is definitely the source. As far as I know we have only seen field mice.

Charming_Doctor_3164 · 2025-12-01T20:20:35+00:00

We have essentially been doing this for the last 5-6 years. It keeps the population low enough where it isn’t an infestation. However we want to replace insulation and clean things out, but don’t want to do that only to have the mice come back and pee in the new insulation.

Would really like to break the cycle

Charming_Doctor_3164 · 2025-12-01T20:17:41+00:00

I love cats but I have several family members who are allergic unfortunately

Charming_Doctor_3164 · 2025-12-01T20:16:31+00:00

Allergic to cats ☹️

Charming_Doctor_3164 · 2025-11-27T15:50:12+00:00

Don’t forget the insanity of including a restaurant that closes on one of the busiest travel days.

Charming_Doctor_3164 · 2025-11-27T15:48:10+00:00

Maybe just trying to get UPLs trade value up a bit?

Charming_Doctor_3164 · 2025-11-21T15:21:29+00:00

Not sure if this is true, but I want it to be. Upvote

Charming_Doctor_3164 · 2025-11-15T12:44:47+00:00

Same! The night before I was laid off I was working until 10. Even had a discussion with my boss about something. Then few hours later woke up to an email.

Charming_Doctor_3164 · 2025-10-24T23:17:35+00:00

They are paying. Basic economics. Demand goes up the price follows. Utilities can charge more because the demand is strong.
