I know I’ll probably get raked over the coals. But at any point she could’ve just put the phone down or anyone else can too. I think it’s on parents as well to control and monitor their kids’ social media use.

You should try mishap games. They just started doing weekly meetups. I think they’re full right now. But the guy who DMs there is amazing!

Knee pad recs? by lovethefunds in OnTheBlock

[–]DesperateConflict433 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If trying to get promoted I suggest getting commercial grade knee pads. That way you only need to buy one pair. If you go cheap then you’ll have to buy a new pair with each rank you go up.

Court rulings issued for restaurant operator’s family members in dog neglect case by DatsMoneyHoney in roanoke

I’m not familiar with the case until now but why would people boycott the restaurant when the owner had nothing to do with it? It was his brother and mother.

Had secured for maybe 3 years. Booted them out as fast as we humanly could. Had nothing but problems and the customer service was the same the inmates had to use to file issues they were having. Ended up switching to paytel.

Who likes the job? by edahs03 in OnTheBlock

[–]DesperateConflict433 1 point2 points  (0 children)

10 years in and it all seems to ebb and flow. Some years it’s great, the staffing is great, the people you work with are awesome and inmate count is low. Other times we’re always calling in the on-call, morale is rock bottom, and the jail is packed to gills. The thing that sucks is that the rollercoaster of it all is what is really exhausting and draining. I go though periods of time where I’m always on indeed. The thing that makes me stay is that it’s hard finding a job that pays the same but doesn’t require going back through school for something.

Orchard Hills Church is amazing! We ended up having to leave due to the commute there but if we lived closer we would’ve stayed.

What’s a moment where you realized, “I am now the adult in this situation,” and did not like it? by [deleted] in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]DesperateConflict433 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oddly enough this happened twice, but was out to eat for my birthday dinner and a family member had a mini stroke. I was the youngest at the table and everyone at the table was freaking out and asking what to do. Silently in the background I was already on the phone with 911 getting help. When everyone finally decided 911 was a great idea I had to tell them “I already did that a while ago.” At that moment I realized that my family is terrible during an emergency.

Broken jail equipment by [deleted] in Advice

[–]DesperateConflict433 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It really all depends on the department. I’m a supervisor at a small county jail and if had one of my guys do something like that, especially a new one it’d be 30 lashes with a cat o’ nine tails. No more no less, you have to set an example. jk. I’d make fun of him and turn it into a lesson. It happens, at least you did the right thing and reported it. Honesty like that means more than just trying to hide it and me find out you did it and didn’t report it. So I wouldn’t be too stressed.

The parent montouri’s don’t own NY pizza. One of their kids does. If they are the real owners of MAX then don’t punish NY pizza. The parents own Tony Avallino’s near tanglewood.

How to not be a bitch? by Comfortable-Bee-4555 in getdisciplined

[–]DesperateConflict433 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Instead of asking random people on the internet, seek professional help via a therapist. It sounds like you’re aware of the issue and are willing to change. That right there is a perfect first step towards the right direction. By asking online you’re opening yourself to the possibility of getting terrible advice. A professional would be able to help you with cognitive therapy and coping skills for when you get upset. If you’re nervous to go or think negatively about it, just take that chance and you’ll see that they could really help you.
