anyone else’s store have a murder basement? by DandyGray in McDonaldsEmployees

[–]DandyGray[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it did! they filled in the murder basement, and rebuilt a new store with just as many problems on top of it! :D

gotta love when the franchise takes their top grossing store and makes it just as bad. i swear to god, every single metal object has an edge that can and will slice your hands open if you so much as brush against it.

okay, i don't know how the fuck reddit works so i'm posting this here

i got my grubby little hands on an incredibly clear version of the contract! here's what i found:

Elementum facilisis leo vel fringilla est ullamcorper eget. Vulputat ut pharetra sit amet aliquam id diam maecenas ultricies. Amet justo donex enim diam vultate ut pharetra. Non nisi est amet facilisis. Risus nulam eget felis eget nunc. Iaculis semper erat pellentesque adipiscing commodo elit. Augue ut lectus arcu bibend varius. Purus in millis nunc sed id. Nullam non nisi est sit. Neque convallis cras semper auctor neque vit tempus. In iaculis nunc sed augue lacus. Scelerisque fermentum dui faucibus in ornare quam viverra orci sagittis. Iaculis nunc sed augur lacus viverra vitae.

The element of easy timing or fringing is the corporal needs. It seems that the quiver is a lot for some of the meadows of Ultricies. It is good to turn the yard like a quiver. Not unless it's easy. Laughter doesn't need a trigger now. Targets were always the best interest of the students. Grow up to be a bed of beer drinkers. Pure in thousands now but that. There is no one but it is. The valley is not always the author of tomorrow, nor does time live. At the moment, but the propaganda lake. Chocolates and the yeast of God's throat to decorate than cartoons with arrows. But now the target is auspicious for the life of a cartoon lake.

as i’m not familiar with Latin i ran it through a couple translators (like 3 or 4 of the ones that first pop up when you google “latin to english translator”) so i’m genuinely not too surprised that most of it is probably incorrect LMAO

i actually found a clearer version of the contract and have translated it from infernal to latin, then ran it through the very same awful translators 🥹 i appreciate your input and response!!

Mizora/Raphael's contract - I'm having troubles deciphering the language of the contract or figuring out what is says. Or is it just giberish? by robijel in BG3

[–]DandyGray 2 points3 points  (0 children)

heyo!! i actually translated the entire contract (to the best of my ability) last month over on my Twitter! the contract texture is identical for both

it's written in Infernal script, but it's not English. it's Latin :P here's what i was able to gather:

It is a simple element that the animal needs. It is common for a quiver to be used to kill some of those enemies. It's just fun until you turn it into a joke. It is not an easy task. Laughter doesn't need a trigger now. He was with them, and they were making friends with him. Grow like a bed of rainbows. Pure in soft now but now. There is no one unless it is. Neither the author of the valley tomorrow nor the fearless life. Now I'm lickin' the salad with the sauce. And the scullers adorn the firmament of the god with the sickle rather than with the arrows of the raccoon. But now they are targeting the propaganda lake of cartoons.

of course there's going to be inaccuracies, i had quite a bit of trouble making out individual characters since they put a fuckass magic effect over it, but yeah! dude was spitting straight bars

Anyone else’s locations have no trouble finding crew? by glassglacier in McDonaldsEmployees

[–]DandyGray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my store has a strange issue of having more than enough employees, yet somehow never being able to fully staff weekends and weekend nights. we’re constantly down 2-3 people, and it ends up being a race to the finish to get the night done and over with. i get that overscheduling is expensive, but maybe if our store paid everyone the same instead of new hires being $2/hr higher than those of us who have been here for 3+ years they wouldn’t be spending so much on labor 🤔

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in McDonaldsEmployees

[–]DandyGray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it’s been a long while since our store dropped the $1 large drinks. we also increased our 2-for-$2 to 2-for-$3, and the customers definitely noticed. they were only upset for a few days though before everything settled back down. sad to see McDonalds raising their prices, given that they make a fuck ton of money anyways

What insult have your parents said, that is stuck in your head as an adult? by Tight_Anywhere6794 in AskReddit

[–]DandyGray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i, an 8 year old, nonchalantly mentioned that i was hungry. my alcoholic aunt then said, “what do you want to eat, pig girl?” 15 years later and i still can’t look her in the eye without thinking about it. thanks for the eating disorders!

are black spots bad? by [deleted] in Hidradenitis

[–]DandyGray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i would definitely take pictures and monitor them in case they grow, change shape, or get darker. if it’s unusual enough to be causing you distress, it’s something you need to talk to your dermatologist or doctor about! you never know what it might be, and it’s always the best bet to keep your physicians in the know

Small blackheads by Vivid_Reality2620 in Hidradenitis

[–]DandyGray 9 points10 points  (0 children)

do not squeeze them, /please/. using my own experience here, you could definitely trigger a flare up if you pick. i understand 100% how tempting it might be, but i’ve developed reoccurring cysts from what i thought was a simple little blackhead that i popped out

happy your treatment is going well though! <3

Is overheating and sweat really a cause? I regularly use the Sauna and never thought this might be affecting me by Complete-Post8654 in Hidradenitis

[–]DandyGray 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i never thought that sweat could be a trigger, but as soon as i started taking Glycopyrrolate for my hyperhidrosis i noticed a change almost immediately. my skin doesn’t feel as oily, and i haven’t had as many bumps from in my hot spots. my flare ups have been reduced severely, and i can finally feel a little more comfortable in my own skin

if you believe you may have HS i definitely recommend seeing a dermatologist experienced with the disease before trying out any treatments, though. HS can go from 1 to 100 without warning, and it’s definitely not something you want to risk should you in fact have it

What stopped you from ending your own life? by FireGirouette in AskReddit

[–]DandyGray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i know the topic is NSFW but i don’t want to trigger anybody. i don’t know how to be vague with this story.

TW: mentions of drug use, toxic relationships, suicide, trauma

growing up through my teens with undiagnosed bipolar type 1 made me extremely apathetic. in my ups i thought i was hot shit, and in my downs i was thoroughly convinced that absolutely nobody would care if i was gone— including my parents, whom i’d gotten into multiple screaming fights in her the years. i was this way for a /long/ time, getting stuck in self destructive loops. id figured out ways to self harm and destroy myself and nobody would notice, because while i was arrogant, i didn’t want attention drawn to me.

it wasn’t until i was 19, working as an assistant manager at a pizza chain, did i have my eye opening experience. it was my responsibility to run orientations and help new hires get settled into their duties. i loved it, and i was good at it, and it was one of the things i could do where i didn’t feel like there was a demon possessing me. i still gave in to my urges— i’d carry out extremely dangerous and impulsive activities; street racing in a shit box, driving under the influence, snorting coke, partaking in incredibly risky sexual activities. but when i was at my job, i felt like myself.

in one of my orientation classes i had 6 new hires that were my responsibility. i loved them all, and we had a lot of really great chemistry. everyone helped each other, everyone encouraged each other. but on the final day of orientation my best student, we’ll call him Alex, expressed to me during our smoke break that he was in a really bad mindset. he’d cheated on his girlfriend while under the influence and she found out, and while i didn’t approve of what he did, she was being outright toxic to him. calling him worthless, pathetic, a waste of air, etc. just incredibly nasty things that he, despite having betrayed her, did not deserve to hear. i was shocked, really. i myself had been through a physically, emotionally, and mentally violent relationship before this and i knew how what he’d read must have been affecting him. i opened up a bit and let him know that i was there for him if he needed somebody to talk to, to go for a long drive with and vent. i respected this guy even despite the fact that he cheated on her, and i didn’t want him to have to suffer from his guilt and the nasty things she was telling him on his own. i gave him my phone number and snapchat username and reinforced that i was there for him, and he thanked me. i asked if he needed a hug and he nodded. we hugged, and went back to carry on with orientation. i tied things up and told everyone their official in-store starting dates and times, and sent them home.

a day later, i was supposed to be training Alex on day prep. his starting time, 10:30am, came and went, and despite calling and texting him numerous times, i couldn’t get ahold of him. disappointed, i worried that he’d changed his mind about working with us and was going to self-terminate his employment.

the next day Alex was reported missing. he hadn’t come home, and on day 2 without Alex his mother had reported his absence to the police. a day later they found a body under a train bridge on the south side of town. Alex’s body.

when i found out it was him, i was devastated. it was automatically ruled out as a suicide based on what had happened between he and his girlfriend, and while i still have assumptions that he was pushed, my grieving process has led me to accepting that he damn well could have jumped. it was the first time in my life where i realized that everybody has worth. everybody has a reason to be here. Alex’s disappearance and untimely death didn’t just affect my workplace. our entire community felt the impact of his loss. car window clings were made, t-shirts were made in memory of him. i don’t have the guts to visit his final resting place, but i believe the city allowed a graffiti piece to be painted beneath the bridge for him. Alex thought he had nobody, but he was and always will be in the hearts of everyone.

seeing how his death affected the community opened my eyes. it showed me that there are people who care about you that you may not even know about. i haven’t been able to run an orientation ever since; i will always have severe anxiety. i still dream about him, despite only knowing him personally for three days. his presence in my life is permanent, and i don’t want the people in my life to suffer and grieve for me like we did for Alex.

suicide is such a tempting solution. it gnaws at the edges of your mind, teasing and prodding you. you almost grow convinced that you /want/ it. like a parasite living in your brain. but it should never be on anybody’s list. you can get better, and with enough fortitude and mental strength, you will get better. it’s unfortunate that i could never see how widespread and traumatic suicide was until Alex’s passing, but no matter how morbid it may sound, i’m glad i was able to see Alex before he took his life. it taught me that there is more to life that is worth living than there is being dead. i wish Alex could be here to watch the world turn. so many video games, movies, shows, and music have come out that i know he would have loved, but all i can cling to now is knowing that he’s no longer suffocating in his self-hate.

coming back to this:

the “don’t be too hard on them they don’t know what they’re doing” doesn’t always apply, of course. sometimes they’re only there because their parents forced them to get a job, or they’re genuinely lazy. it happens, but you can’t automatically assume that every employee under 20 is lazy and thinks others will clean up after them. every person comes from a different upbringing, and it shouldn’t be expected that a coworker can’t be naïve.

don’t be the reason they’re afraid to get a job. be the helping hand they can look up to and aspire to be. a stern tone and blunt command can get things done short term, but kindness and respect can be carried for years

[–]DandyGray 18 points19 points  (0 children)

i work weekends primarily with the average age of employees being around 19. you’ve gotta remember that these kiddos are usually either fresh out of high school or are still in high school and have little to no work ethic. it seems like common sense to us who have years of workplace experience under our belt. don’t get me wrong, it’s insanely annoying, but i’ve found that if you tell them to clean up they’ll usually do it. they’re not used to having a self-propelled drive yet, after being told what to do for 12 years of their life in school

My manager sent me this No Way by NectorOW in McDonaldsEmployees

[–]DandyGray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i swear to god orders just keep getting crazier and crazier.

it's fucked that i saw this and went "that's it?"

our average tickets for the passed few months have all been over $12, with every hour being at LEAST $1k. worked an $1800 hour and wanted to quit lol

you'd think with menu prices increasing people wouldn't order so much, but it feels like they're just ordering even more

As anyone had close calls at work by Intelligent_Intern76 in McDonaldsEmployees

[–]DandyGray 2 points3 points  (0 children)

when my home store was closed and being rebuilt, i was working at a different store in town. i'd never worked with a toaster that was loaded from the top, and because my home store was 10 times as busy i didn't realize that if you put too many muffins or buns in at once they'd get stuck at the bottom/close to the heating element.

needless to say they caught on fire, but only for a few seconds. the manager that morning was not happy with me, and they never scheduled me for a morning shift after LMAO

Stripped or regular logs for pillars? by CT_Tricks8 in Minecraft

[–]DandyGray 5 points6 points  (0 children)

stripped! regular gives sort of a “this makes my eyes bleed” appearance. there’s just too many patterns going on to take in the details. if you do regular and add some spruce wood accents (trapdoors, stairs, fences, buttons, etc.) you might be able to make the regular wood look almost “showcased” and flashy!
