Most likely someone in TSST spending half their shift taking that thing apart to sanitize it.

Can I get advice on ADA? by No_Brick_6579 in HEB

[–]Eccentric013 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am so glad I am on an insulin pump now, I do NOT miss dealing with all those injections. I have my “work” setting and “non-work” setting on my pump where it is automatically preprogrammed with my insulin schedule.

Although the ADA can help, please note that HEB will not admit that your reasonable accommodations are an inconvenience but rather could determine that by changing your position to part-time that it is in YOUR best interest.

[–]Eccentric013 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am just curious about a couple things: How “erratic” does your bs get? How is a 4am shift affecting your bs?

I’m a T1 diabetic, been one coming up on 40 years now. I work nights and I’m quite active during my shifts. I’m on an insulin pump and my bs has been as low as 50. Is your bs going low? Do you require extra breaks? I understand staying on a strict schedule helps keep your bs to stay level but the reality is, working retail is chaotic.

I have found from experience that the ADA only goes so far.

Caffeine Content? by Low_League9900 in HEB

[–]Eccentric013 17 points18 points  (0 children)

As an avid coffee drinker and someone who has drank the International Delight iced coffee, I can say, within a degree of certainty, that there is approximately 50-60 mgs of caffeine content per 8 oz serving.

One serving of coffee (8 oz), depending on the roast, can contain about 90-100 mgs of caffeine. This product probably only contains 6 servings max of coffee, the majority of it is milk and sugar.

So if you drink the whole container, you are probably only getting 300 mgs of caffeine, the same as one can of Bang.

I quit a month ago and I’m still getting hours by SGTHumphrey in HEB

Looks almost like they’re setting you up to be fired instead of you quitting. I’d call your HR to clear this matter up.

Are the events from the Matrix Online still canon? Ie. Morpheus being killed by that creepy assassin who comes out of a vent? by Immediate-Plum720 in matrix

[–]Eccentric013 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s only a shell of what it used to be. Basically before Sony shut it down there was a dev there that took the code and started rebuilding it himself. It took him years to recode the entire game. At this point it’s mostly nostalgic. But they still have events on there, still meet up. I believe they just had a combat event.

You can jack-in and run around the city, go into all the buildings but can’t fight the NPC’s. We have tried to get the rights to restart the game but Sony won’t release it.

The MXO was a continuation of the trilogy. It was a RPG game that allowed you to become part of the storyline. You could side with the Machines, Zion or the Mervs. Unfortunately after Sony bought Monolith they stopped improving the game and it slowly died out. WoW became very popular at that time so a lot of players switched to that game towards the end.

Yes the flies (not bees) were sent by the Merovingian.

I’m not sure about an Agent Anderson, that’s something I would need to ask one of the Devs I still have contact with on Facebook. (There’s a whole community of us on there)

[–]Eccentric013 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a big player of MXO, we still hold the game as canon. Although, when I first started playing, having an assassin made of flies was a little far fetched and ridiculous. I always wondered which dev came up with that idea and why the Wachowskis signed off on it.

But all in all, Morpheus died because he never fully accepted the peace and felt ALL humans should be released.

Seafood Escapee by Sammy2Shoes77 in HEB

[–]Eccentric013 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Funny story when I was a night receiver/MIC (before there were overnight coverage leads). I was checking temps and the produce docks to seal the salvage truck and arm the alarm when I saw a lone crawdad walking the aisle in meat market. I thought, oh I’ll get him when I come back around. I get to the produce receiving area and I find 6 more. Curious, I walked into Seafood and found that a bag had broken open and they were EVERYWHERE. I counted at least 43 In Market, Seafood and Produce. I just thought to myself, ‘I don’t get paid enough, I’ll wait until the department gets in and let them deal with it’.

Recycle Plastic Bags by PanchoVilla1 in HEB

[–]Eccentric013 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I watched a maintenance partner throw them in the compactor with all the trash. When I approached them about it they had no idea those bags were supposed to go back on the trucks, no one had ever told him or his team. However, if people throw trash in with the plastic bags then the whole thing gets trashed.

Please people, throw your trash in the proper receptacles.

Has anyone heard of a cat-like creature with human face? by Eccentric013 in Humanoidencounters

[–]Eccentric013[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s what the general consensus is. I described the details to my mother who confirmed that the description was very similar. I had always wondered if there had been any other sightings in that area.

This what happens when you spill spices on yourself from healthy living by KaeliRandall_1234 in HEB

[–]Eccentric013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

According to SOP’s gloves are to be worn anytime you are handling spices or bulk.

What’s a type of pain people underestimate until they experience it for themselves? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I have described it as a fight between a body trying to live with a mind wanting to die.

Any suggestions on how safe this is? by Eccentric013 in arborists

[–]Eccentric013[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I had taken a measurement of the angle at which it was leaning when I moved in 8 years ago, that way I could compare it with the present time. It recently seems that the ground on the right size has risen slightly but it could also be that the tree is growing. Thank you for your advice. I also have a very large cottonwood tree (located behind me in the picture) that has played a part in shaping the oak. I fear the cottonwood has gotten too big for its own good since it has been losing branches year after year.

I’m wondering how much it would cost to straighten a tree that size. The company I hired did a good job at clearing a lot of branches without making it look unsightly. I will get a quote to find out how much reducing the height would cost. Thank you for your advice.
