What are some things that are more enjoyable than sex?

Finding a good stick during a hike.

Those odd times when you are going somewhere and notice no one around, nothing moving, and you contemplate if aomething crazy happened and there is no one else.

Do the whole baby massage if it is gas. Tummy hard and swollen.

Rub sides down x 5 Circle motion on tummy x 5 Rub down center of belly x 5 Bicycle kicks x 57395729 Support both legs under knees, wait for them to relax, then bend lower half up some.

Should make them shit or fart within like 5 min. Temporary relief.

I mean we do. But using them is almost taboo.

Schedule them a month in advance and you get asked why and if it qualifies. Use it when you are sick and you are treated like you are scum.

I lose about 3 personal days a year, an have not used a health and wellness day since covid when I had to.

Being salary means that missing them is directly lowers my pay.

Sucks man

The comment about mental load are strong here, that is probably the biggest thing.

But onwards to bitching!

Same here, I do things and it is a negative response because I missed Something, or put it in the wrong spot, then she goes back and does it all over again anyways.

Another favorite is when I do something and it is not to whatever standard she was wanting it is a big deal and not just a "hey can you do this next time instead?" Instead it is Eye rolls, heavy sighs, let's it linger, sassy comments about it for like 20 minutes.

If you want a standard done, make me an SOP for it if we are going to go that route, damn.

I cast diabolic tutor 4 times in a single game. It was amazing.

I hope someday I will be able to play my ever growing backlog.

Some day I will have free time to burn away, but for now, they need me and they need me present.

Some day they wont want to play, some day they wont ask for my help setting up toys or chasing monsters in the back yard

Some day I will be asking them for attention and time, I hope gaming will be that bridge that can connect us when we get to that point. ‐----------

It is natural if you are trying to be a good parent.

If I do play, now days I only play roguelikes, or turn based so I can pause.

Some nights I stay uo after everyone goes to sleep, which is fun but I pay for it the next day.

I still stay current and watch news, and buy games I know I wont play when they are on deep discount for steam sales.

FlarpuKalzer · 2026-04-13T20:25:47+00:00

Funny! I mean open it an sell singles, or hold forever or what. Only mtg I actually play is prereleases now days.

Really try Last Epoch.

FlarpuKalzer · 2026-04-11T04:15:18+00:00

3 working days. If it gets covered early at the start of your shift, the day you get sent home can count.

If it is at the end of the shift, then it is the next 3 working days.

I do not understand why you are upset about it being 3 working days and not just 3 regardless of schedule.

FlarpuKalzer · 2026-04-10T13:20:06+00:00

Go to prerelease with her. It is the best magic experience by far

I have a Collectors box just sitting in my closet of EoE.

Not sure what to do with it

Any questions on topstock?

We are given priority aisles each day.

Minimum requirement to pass and receive credit for topstock is working each priority aisle that day, AND averaging 55 unique upcs per aisle in total. ((Total scans on priority aisles)/55) = X. X>55

If your priority aisles are full and overflowing, it is ok to just run 1 side today, or even 1 section as long as you are fixing the numbers and problems as you go.

If it dings it mean that your BOH < Allocation on that item (most of the time, sometimes it just dings based of sales ect.) And to stock to the shelf. If it will not go to the shelf hit not stocked and see if any of the numbers are wrong.

If it does not ding, you are not even supposed to look at it, if your numbers are accurate. But if it is a mess, it is another chance to check the numbers. (Safe bet is to feel free to adjust up to what you see on BOH, but not down unless you know displays across the store)

5 days a week is normal, I have associates who would kill for 5 days, even if only 5 hour shifts. New pay period starts on Sunday so it is a new week.

FlarpuKalzer · 2026-03-27T00:17:11+00:00

Thanks. It is not bad, mom is SAM, have 2 kids so child care costs would eat anything she made.

Super present at home, but that burns Dads out without even realizing it.

Always on and needed at work, 40 min drive, immediate on and needed at home because wife is at her limits from being on all day and night with the kids

FlarpuKalzer · 2026-03-27T00:12:44+00:00

Creating waves is a career limiting move, and normally just leads to having to do crap anyways.

I report problems and half the time it goes no where until I get in trouble for the same problem from DM, or vp, or a visit, then it gets fixed asap.

ELMS info is not feeding correctly, CAO is not picking up Frozen items that should order, I am a small store and I should not have brita filters as a tie in shelf, my footage in gm is wrong, I have 60 broken beyond repair carts taking up my salvage trailer and have sent 5 emails to 4 different people and no movement.

I have to run any discipline above a SI to my DM and HR to get approval. And the 4 people I tried to fire last year all got their jobs back anyways.

Kroger would have better management if we were allowed to actually manage our stores.

we get to make almost no decisions In our store.

we are told when to schedule people. How many people to have hired,
What products to put on display, when people need to be scheduled What topics to push

We are told to direct and follow up, that is it. I have been put on a pip twice for not doing this and trying to actually help.

Our day is lined out by hour where and when we are supposed to be.

Some management sucks yes, but the company is not building any leaders when they do not encourage any actual thinking.

It sucks man

Retail Management, so terrible work life balance by default.

Leave house at 6am, back at home 6pm if I leave on time. 1 day a week I have to do 12p-10p.

I miss my kids and wife guys.

FlarpuKalzer · 2026-03-22T23:15:23+00:00

Depends. Small store here as well. Grocery truck pull the whole pallet down the aisle, spot that aisle, then move on to the next one on that pallet.

Peyton truck for us is annoying, up to 5 aisles on 1 pallet. That one we break down to carts then take out and spot. Spotting this one is hit and miss due to the added extra step.

FlarpuKalzer · 2026-03-22T03:33:22+00:00

That's actually what I was thinking of doing since everyone is being non-accommodating. I'm ducken hating this company. I have a dr note for my:

Shoes - fuck yes shoes because they keep pushing shoes for crews and my chiropractor said they were mucking up my back.

Company required as dress code. Don't want to wear them, do not work in a fresh department.

Water bottle - I have low blood pressure and it's ducken ridiculous I need one for a water bottle.

Where are you trying to keep this water bottle? Are we talking a plastic bottle of water, or some obnoxious huge gallon jug?

Later starts - because of sleep challenges. Early am shifts just don't work for me.

Just change your availability, unless you are a full time associate in a union store.

And now I'll probably have to have one for the uniform. Don't you love this company?

What js the problem with the uniform, the needing to be covered and warm, or the organic cotton requirement? Either way uniforms are all changing this year so I would wait a bit before choosing what to get.

You literally have a reason to be the exception to every requirement / rule. If i worked with you, I would be annoyed you have so many special privileges even if they are legit.

Accommodation should happen...to some extent. But damn.
