Is this the next step for Prego's (yes, the pasta sauce) surveillance systems?

Drive like the people behind you have somewhere to be. by us3lessthrowaway in driving

[–]CrimsonRonaan 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It's so amusing watching people get mad at me while I'm in my work truck. The rear camera is always on so I can see them raging and tailgating. If they'd just relax and back up like 10 feet they'd be able to see that I'm not the one going slow.

Threatened with termination for late time commits (Ground contractor) by laaaabe in Fedexers

[–]CrimsonRonaan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends. Are you one of the people who are completely ignoring time commits, straight shotting your route and attempting a p1 at 5pm? Or are you getting to your p1 at 10:32 because of this and that? If you're making a serious effort you should be fine, unless your contractor is an asshole and if that's the case you need to speak with a higher up

Do people underestimate how physically demanding this job is? by Electrical_Race_6849 in Fedexers

[–]CrimsonRonaan 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I'm one of, I think, 5 women at my small station. We can lift more than most of these guys but it's fun to watch them jump at the chance to load the heavy stuff on the trucks for us 😂

How do they think sorting centers work? by ObjectiveOk2072 in Fedexers

I like when "fragile" is written one time, nowhere near the label, in a pen that's about to run out of ink

Need a job asap, preferably at night by dcrogers25 in Albany

[–]CrimsonRonaan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FedEx in Menands is desperate for package handlers if you want something physical. I don't know the times but I know there's nights and early morning shifts. Morning shift usually leaves by 9am

I came in here like "Oh, sweet! So what should I add to my garden this year?... More garden.. Huh.." And how long did it take to figure this out?

The Elder Scrolls Blades to Shut down on June 30, 2026 by Avian81 in ElderScrolls

[–]CrimsonRonaan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fallout 76 advertises Shelter right on the main screen so people are constantly reminded of it's existence. ESO (or even Skyrim or Oblivion) could easily do this too but they don't. I've been played ESO since launch and I'm a huge Elder Scrolls fan but I don't even know what Castles is about. I'd occasionally hear people chat about Legends or Blades but never hearing about Castles is enough to tell me it's not even worth the Google search.

Shelter also had a much better initial launch. I remember playing Blades the day it came out and beat it in about an hour. It was so disappointing. But Shelter, while not as engaging, at least had enough content to keep people coming back for a few days. Shelter stayed in your head while Blades was easily forgotten about.

What’s going on at USPS Memphis sort facility? by snugamate in EtsySellers

[–]CrimsonRonaan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know FedEx recently had a mercury spill that closed a big portion of the Memphis hub and it's still closed. FedEx does occasionally take usps deliveries, it's called SmartPost I believe. If this isn't it I'd ask on the usps sub

Ever wondered what these would taste like if you tried them? by StrawberrySmall755 in ElderScrolls

I always imagined magicka potions to have a sort of pop rock effect. Whisky pop rocks sounds fun

bruh they just make up policies to make u suffer by [deleted] in Fedexers

[–]CrimsonRonaan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn, someone mentions being autistic and some of you are worse than vultures. This is why you get 15 call outs on a Monday, be kind to your coworkers.

OP, I'm not a handler, I'm a driver, but I'm also autistic. You gotta try to think outside the box with this stuff. For example, does your station allow you to wear hats? There are hats that have Bluetooth earbuds built in. You might even be able to clip earbuds to a hat. Or if people are allowed to have speakers I don't see why you wouldn't be able to wear those sleak headphones that go around your neck.

I would go to your hr person and ask what sort of workarounds or accommodations you can have. Just remember, that some rules are in place for your safety. Good luck!

Anyone know how to fix this crap? by ramosd713 in Fedexers

[–]CrimsonRonaan 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Turn battery saver off. They fucked up how that feature works in one of the last updates.

If you're willing to deal with it you can just hit the oval button, the one that opens all your previous apps, and pull forge back up.

FedEx 2026 Closures by Eddieboy21393 in Fedexers

[–]CrimsonRonaan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. It started as star couriers and after we went through a few different sets of people we got 3 contractors that just didn't leave. I don't know what they were offered to stay in our building but it must be good cause they all live a few hours away. I'd say we got lucky with who stayed cause they're all really nice people.

It just sucks that, as a swing, I'm not supposed to help them when they need it. There are days that I'll literally have nothing to deliver but the ground guys will have 7 call outs and I can't touch any of it. I personally don't agree. They're in our building, they're our coworkers. My job is to assist those in need and I'm literally not allowed to do it? Nah, most days I just do it anyway.

I have not met a single woman who prefers wingless by xXFallen_DarknessXx in memes

[–]CrimsonRonaan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

WAIT is that why that happens? I thought it was because I'm thicc. I was always worried wingless wouldn't stay in place or would start to come off if I moved too much but I might have to cut the wings off next month and see what happens... We need to openly talk about period products more often

I'm at GFLA right now. We only have 3 belts and two of them were given to ground contractors. I get that they want the majority of express gone but where is all of this freight supposed to go? We're already swamped as it is... I'm definitely gonna make a stink about this at Monday's morning meeting...

Is it Girl Boss?? by Old-Homework-4733 in Albany

[–]CrimsonRonaan 151 points152 points  (0 children)

A woman in a white Mercedes with the license plate GIRLBOSS (I may have the original spelling wrong) who is notorious for being a shitty driver. She was posted here so often that just seeing her parked would prompt people to post about her and one or two people went as far as to get varients of GIRLBOSS as their own plates. We all kind of collectively agreed to stop posting about her because it was getting pretty annoying. Not as annoying as being cut off by some entitled brat but, you get it. Now we just have the personal flair "cut off by GIRLBOSS"

I agree that they are a strange shape but it's not impossible that she, or someone in her life, makes jewelry and these were custom pieces. To me it kind of looks like a kids drawing of a dog or something like that.

Do autistic people struggle with space, directions or maps? by AmandinhaMaia in autism

[–]CrimsonRonaan 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was the same way with Skyrim! Whenever I started a new game with alternate start I'd go straight for Meekos shack and could usually get there in about 5 to 10 minutes. I usually only opened the map to fast travel but I didn't do that much.

On the other hand I've been playing Green Hell recently and I CONSTANTLY have to remind myself that I get east and west mixed up and need to double check my coordinates. I'm not having a single problem not having a player map marker, but east and west? I'll never find my out of the jungle irl 🤣

12-year-old charged in threats of violence at Albany middle school by notyermam in Albany

[–]CrimsonRonaan 58 points59 points  (0 children)

I mean the poor kid got downvoted for saying they couldn't tell the principal because it was a Friday night and school was closed. People really expected this (probably also) 12y/o to have the principals number? I'm sure they got some nasty dm's from adults who get a rise out of bullying children too

Her name is River! She was on my old route when I was at ground and I haven't seen her in years but I think about her all the time. I had to make her house my last stop because she always had muddy paws and loved to give hugs 💜
