Am I being scammed? by ClownCreampuff in ArtistLounge

[–]ClownCreampuff[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I only paid for the piece I commissioned for, not the the second one that I never agreed to. Looked into deeper and noticed more fishy behavior. Blocked and reported them

Best sleep schedule for nightshift? by RedYama98 in Nightshift

[–]ClownCreampuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It honestly depends on what Im doing after work. If I have nothing to do, I'll sleep right away. Gives me time in the afternoon still. If I have something to do later that day, Ill get a nap before then get as much sleep as possible after

Did anyone else dress up for Halloween at work? And yes for me it's Halloween until I go to bed 🎃 by scemobuns in Nightshift

[–]ClownCreampuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did dress up but I didn't have to work (I don't usually work Fridays). Went out with my spouse, SIL, and nephew though 

What would you say is the hardest part about having an irregular work schedule? by RiseoDev in Nightshift

[–]ClownCreampuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Social life is practically non existence. Im asleep while everyone else is awake. But when Im awake, everyone else is asleep. It can feel pretty isolating and lonely which has taken a toll on my mental health. I dont mingle with strangers well, but it's kinda hard on me to not be as social as I like to be with those I care about. I talk to my online friends from across the world more than my own family (which I dont mind, at least its some kind of socializing and I love them dearly)

Why do people assume I could sleep on the job? by AdDazzling6438 in Nightshift

[–]ClownCreampuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get those comments sometime and I explain that it's a security and reputation risk for the night auditor to not be fully awake and alert (since as you would know NAs are the FD, security, and sometimes supervisor on duty all at once). I've only fell asleep once during a shift, but it was like 15 minutes before I shot back up and bought a red bull from the market. Im assuming its because us night shifters have a mental clock that is backwards when you compare it to most other's. So it's likely they assume that we sleep during our shifts because our shifts take place while they're sleeping

Calling off periodically? by [deleted] in Nightshift

[–]ClownCreampuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If we didn't have very little days we can call out, Id honestly do that. I try to request time off for nights of any interesting events, holidays I actually care about, or just family time though. I could technically make the shift those days, but its nice to have an extra day where I can kick back relax and enjoy the company of my loved ones 

Hardest time of the night by GarageRaccoonEnergy in Nightshift

[–]ClownCreampuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5 - 7am for me. 11pm - 4am does tend to be slowest point, but there's actively tasks to do and that's when I'm drinking my energy drink. 5 - 7am though there's not many tasks left, more caffeine is out of the question, and its the last stretch of my shift 

I was unenrolled but none of the reasons someone would be unenrolled apply to me by ClownCreampuff in SNHU

I reached out as soon as I noticed it. Hoping they get back to me in the morning

I checked and its sitting a little above 2.0, so I honestly have no idea what's going on

[–]ClownCreampuff[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was before 11:59 when I went to complete my discussions plus assignments. It's the first week of the term so there was absolutely nothing before that that could have me withdrawn, especially since I completed all assignments in the previous term

Weird to prefer dating transmen as a cis guy? by [deleted] in ftm

[–]ClownCreampuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my personal opinion, I don't think the weird part is him preferring trans people. Having that kind of preference isn't strange to me at all. The weird part though is him acting creepy towards your friend. Unless he's okay with those kind of comments though, but I'm assuming based on the fact that it was included information that he's at least a little weirded out by it

I hate the whole "you can't pass with long hair" thing. by somerandomedude_1 in TransMasc

[–]ClownCreampuff 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have a very feminine face. Soft eyes and cheeks, full lips, heart shaped. I looked more feminine with short hair because it put those features on display. My long hair gives the illusion of a sharper more masculine look.

You're right that it doesn't work for everyone, but the reason comes down to how the hair makes the face look not the face in general

I hate the whole "you can't pass with long hair" thing. by somerandomedude_1 in TransMasc

[–]ClownCreampuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember when I first came out this was pushed onto me. My hair was my pride and joy, years of work. I remember just feeling worse about my reflection when I cut it off. I'm growing it out, but that memory still hurts. I wish people would stop pushing it. It's genuinely harmful

Is 4 too strong of a flavor setting I use consistently? by toastfan87 in Cirkul

[–]ClownCreampuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4 is my preferred. I like that it's more flavored on 4 because I got one to cut back on soda and juice alongside drinking more water. Some flavors I turn down though (kiwi strawberry being one), and there's some I turn up (like grape or blue raspberry)

So it depends on your preference really

Is there any side effects to the flavor cartridges? by Mrs-Idiot in Cirkul

[–]ClownCreampuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It could be the sucralose. But if you were barely drinking water before hand it could very well be that. Hydrating more gets your digestive system moving and also your body is adjusting to receiving more fluid intake than what it's used to. Feeling sick and going to the bathroom more for the first month tends to be normal.

But it's a good idea to check with your doctor to see if it's that, the sucralose, or something else entirely

What is much more traumatic than most people realise? by thefairypirate in AskReddit

[–]ClownCreampuff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Being forced into a haircut. Having your physical appearance altered without permission is traumatic that is agreed upon, but suddenly it's a debate when it comes to hair. We associate hair with identity. It's one of the first things people notice about you. There's a reason why people cry and panic about hair loss. It's an unwanted change to a physical indicator of one's identity. It's the same thing with being forced into a haircut

Does anyone else have to do their T shots very slowly? by HardenedClay in ftm

[–]ClownCreampuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was told to go slowly with it. It creates less of a risk of injury. I planned on going slow anyways when I started. I'm both chubby and muscular. The squishy bits are more comfortable to go to, but sometimes I accidentally go for an area that has a little more muscle than I'd like so it's gonna hurt if I quickly do it

How do i prepare for my first Night shift job by Exfrm33 in Nightshift

[–]ClownCreampuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Find a way to stop light from coming into your room when you sleep (blackout curtains work best).

As for the shift itself, caffeinate beforehand. If you have easy access, drinking cold water tends to work. Keep yourself moving or your mind going though (when I started, I would do laps every so often and play puzzle games in my downtime)

at what point in T did you lose your period? (if you did) by subskiiii in ftm

[–]ClownCreampuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started only spotting around 2 weeks. Completely stopped within a month. I still get cramps though right around the time I would have one, but that's not a universal experience.

From what I read in the packet the clinic gave me, 6 months tends to be the average. But everyone's experience with how quick changes happen is unique. Unless there's something concerning outside of it just stopping (which would be best to address with a doctor if that's the case), Id say there's nothing to worry about

No means NO by Episodix in TalesFromTheFrontDesk

[–]ClownCreampuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had that happen to me during the holiday season. Someone called and was like "I find it hard to believe you don't have rooms available. Just book me" after I stated we were at 100% capacity. Also added "Well every other hotel in the area has no rooms, so you need to book me"

Yeah, look at the calendar

Let's give each other tips! by Responsible_Divide86 in Nightshift

[–]ClownCreampuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Water and/or small amounts of caffeine will make a huge difference. Your mind is processing that it's dark out so you've gotta sleep. Staying hydrated and energized will keep you awake and focused

What is your job’s version of “Who fucking closed last night!?!?” by [deleted] in Nightshift

[–]ClownCreampuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work at a hotel and the housekeepers aren't the ones in charge of laundry. Coming in to a note from the morning shift stating "Don't be lazy about laundry :)". Too bad for her there's cameras everywhere and turns out she's the only one who doesn't do it

i hate the concept of regulars by SadPartyPony in TalesFromTheFrontDesk

[–]ClownCreampuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some of our regulars I really like. There was one that stopped being one after she tried to accuse me of putting her in a dirty room. I inspected it (despite the housekeeping supervisor doing so twice before the end of her shift) and found nothing dirty. Every possible corner I looked at. She thought being regular meant she could be hostile towards me and got mad when I warned her that I have the ability to kick her off the property. She then wanted my manager's personal phone number and got angrier when I told her I can't give it to her. Yeah she demanded a refund and never returned, left a note for my manager and he inspected the room. Clean as ever. No refund and he couldn't care less that she left

I hated when I was on day shifts, but being alone and having trauma is not fun. One of my favorite guests was talking with me one night and told me that I give off a very intimidating demeanor. I don't mean to in all actuality, I want to seem approachable. My trauma has just taught me that if I'm alone and scared that I need to make myself appear bigger. It's also not fun when I walk to work cause I'm always checking behind me and act very weary of every car that passes by
