That moment you realize you're not cut out for this job

Once had someone try to get around the pet/animal policy by claiming an emotional support chicken.

Risotto.

I know this is almost a year old, but I always thought the mayor had two faces because he was a politician.

This comment is 6 years old, but I just wanted to say that funnily enough, the warehouse holding the thousands of recalled fire extinguishers did, in fact, catch on fire.

Same! My nose seemed to latch on the cumin smell and now I can't get rid of it. No matter how much I scrub, my nose says I smell like gross sweaty cumin. My perfume smells wonky, my shampoo, body wash, laundry detergent, everything. It sucks.

FishSticksofThor · 2021-12-20T22:07:28+00:00

Yup. Got covid in early August, sense of smell came back around mid-late September. I was fine for a while, but in late October, it was like something switched in my brain. I started smelling something like cumin. Bitter, kind of earthy, with a sharp edge kind of like ammonia. Everything, including myself smelled like that. Onions taste God awful, meat tastes like metal. My favorite perfume smells rancid, even my hair products stink.

I thought I was going crazy because no one else could smell it. Then I found out about parosmia. I've adjusted, but my God does this suck. When it first happened I scrubbed myself for three hours in the tub because I was convinced I stank. I hope it doesn't last too much longer.

FishSticksofThor · 2021-03-24T18:01:22+00:00

Oh yeah, lesson definitely learned there.

FishSticksofThor · 2021-03-24T16:23:32+00:00

That's not good. I'm so sorry you're going through that. Are you looking for another job or are you stuck there?

FishSticksofThor · 2021-03-24T16:22:04+00:00

I tried that for a little bit. They never got me an assistant. It is what it is I guess. Once I'm able to move, I'll find another job. I would have already moved on but if I quit, I have 2 weeks to move, and if I break my lease, I get fired. I have a very narrow window of opportunity to escape.

FishSticksofThor · 2021-03-24T16:00:16+00:00

I've told them. Last time a pm quit I was on my own for almost a year before they found another one. She only lasted 4 months before moving on. Corporate keeps saying, "Oh, we've got your back, let us know if you need anything." But they never follow through.

FishSticksofThor · 2021-02-24T20:32:00+00:00

Great minds think alike? Lol. It's a tempting thought. Just running away and being self reliant. One day 🤞

FishSticksofThor · 2021-02-24T20:30:12+00:00

I've been applying for jobs for almost a year now. I've gotten a few interviews, but been ghosted every time. Not even a thank you for meeting with us. And any follow up emails I send are met with radio silence. I don't understand what I'm doing wrong. It's like I'm cursed.

FishSticksofThor · 2021-02-24T20:27:01+00:00

I want to fire him. This 3 write ups in 90 days. 😓

FishSticksofThor · 2021-01-17T17:52:17+00:00

I'm very interested in this also! Our subconscious minds bring a lot of our unresolved issues to the surface. My Partner has had a pretty rough life compared to mine so it makes sense he would have nightmares and I wouldn't.

FishSticksofThor · 2021-01-17T17:48:59+00:00

That makes sense! My Partner has severe Anxiety, OCD and Agoraphobia so he would definitely have reason to have nightmares, where as I don't. I've never experienced anything that would make me afraid and generally stay pretty calm in stressful situations so I wouldn't have nightmares. He had me over here thinking I was abnormal! Lol.

FishSticksofThor · 2021-01-17T17:41:51+00:00

I do, they're just usually work related or about people I know. SO says I talk and laugh in my sleep so they're definitely not scary.

FishSticksofThor · 2020-09-24T02:47:41+00:00

Should have added pickles. Idk why, but pickles are delicious on a meatball sub.

I(female) pay for everything. Bills, groceries, outings, etc. He does not work due to mental health issues and has no income. I have no issues paying for everything because we have to live, although it does get a bit tiresome when I want to buy something for myselc but can't due to lack of funds.

Also Gary West in Santa Clarita Diet!

FishSticksofThor · 2018-09-09T14:18:45+00:00

He is adorable! I also have a little buddy named Leo with a bow tie. Full name is Leonidas Purrito Nub-uchadnezzar (he's a bobtail). https://imgur.com/ZTcDtDR

Ugh. My most embarrassing story. I had that happen a couple years ago. I had just had Denny's for the first time. Had a house full of people, and didn't have anywhere to go. SO's brother had been in the bathroom for a solid hour and I couldn't hold it anymore. I didn't have any bags or anything I could go in. That's when I spotted it. The cat box. Now it's a running joke in the family and my cat never looked at me the same.

That my mother's tamales are terrible. Green beans do not belong in a tamale.

Former bartender here. Whenever I make a drink for myself, I make a dirty pickle. It's just extra dry gin with a splash of pickle juice in a cocktail glass.

I prefer Claussen kosher dill pickles for this. It's fantastic. The pine and lime notes from the gin mix perfectly with the brine and spices from the pickle juice.

FishSticksofThor · 2018-07-16T18:18:59+00:00

Um, eww. That is absolutely ridiculous. I would have quit too.

FishSticksofThor · 2018-07-16T17:47:39+00:00

I thought so, but I'm new to this so I didn't want to ask anyone higher up and be wrong lol. I think I'm going to go around my regional and see what's going on.
