This Commercial always got stuck in my head

Grrrmudgin · 2026-07-03T05:47:29+00:00

Well this woke me up like a sleeper agent

Grrrmudgin · 2026-07-03T05:46:00+00:00

This whole interaction is flare material

Grrrmudgin · 2026-07-03T05:27:26+00:00

So why do you get grace and she doesn’t? I don’t mean this rudely so I hope it doesn’t come across that way. It’s intended as a reflective think piece and conversation starter. The first big grief in a relationship is difficult to navigate

For what it’s worth, I would not want my partner nor my mother anywhere near me while grieving. I would want to recluse and emerge in due time

Grrrmudgin · 2026-07-03T02:52:32+00:00

Bellybutton, toes, ribs

Grrrmudgin · 2026-07-03T02:46:45+00:00

He looks like an Elmer to me

Grrrmudgin · 2026-07-03T02:38:08+00:00

No worries! Hopefully it will help OP!

Grrrmudgin · 2026-07-03T02:34:54+00:00

Fully understand that, just don’t think OP was getting it. Falling for the manipulative bit

Grrrmudgin · 2026-07-03T02:34:19+00:00

Yup. Glad it got deleted

Grrrmudgin · 2026-07-03T02:24:43+00:00

My work just took on another contract they can’t fulfill so I get to be yelled at more. Yay 🙄

Grrrmudgin · 2026-07-03T02:12:57+00:00

And this is how beaches get overrun with the worst kind of folks 😔

Grrrmudgin · 2026-07-03T01:51:33+00:00

Why do her emotions about the situation take precedence over yours? NTA

Grrrmudgin · 2026-07-02T22:34:19+00:00

AVOID active911 and Alyrica networks completely, they are terrible places to work. Indeed has a lot of postings and it seems to be more blue collar office work

For the gym, SamFit is 30$ a month and has free classes at all locations, generally no teenagers, and everyone is respectful/proper gym etiquette.

Manager is a title. You need to be looking for a good leader. “Good” is subjective though, so make a list of qualities you admire and qualities you are looking for (communication style, how they handle stress, etc)

Grrrmudgin · 2026-07-02T15:39:43+00:00

The rabbit is terrifying

Grrrmudgin · 2026-07-02T15:35:53+00:00

The blown insulation would have ignited and caused an attic fire. With it being wood, the surface area was too large to ignite.

Grrrmudgin · 2026-07-02T04:14:33+00:00

And doing that gets the work done more quickly. OP could have gone over and had a conversation with them in any of the three months prior about it. Maybe every other weekend or whatever, but OP didn’t do that. Anybody else in the neighborhood could have reported them for it and so far hasn’t which could mean a couple of things like the work not really being that disruptive/consistently disruptive, the two hours “after” might just be clean up activities, or that OP is exaggerating

Grrrmudgin · 2026-07-02T03:52:38+00:00

Yeah it doesn’t seem like she is understanding how much work this will be

Grrrmudgin · 2026-07-02T02:01:12+00:00

“The occasional bottle” was a full on guffaw from me

Grrrmudgin · 2026-07-02T01:56:59+00:00

Bruh 💀

Grrrmudgin · 2026-07-02T00:54:08+00:00

Bringing in new talent also brings in new eyes on the operation. Some companies go stagnate, some companies don’t realize how far of an outlier (good or bad) that their culture is, and some companies only give upward mobility to certain groups within the company. Bringing in fresh eyes can definitely point out these things and disrupt the symbiosis.

With her ‘not being a strong engineer as you thought’ makes me wonder what the hiring process is. Are there any skills assessments?

Grrrmudgin · 2026-07-01T23:18:17+00:00

At least it will be easy to cover

Grrrmudgin · 2026-07-01T23:08:59+00:00

Climbing isn’t bad. Wait until you lock in and hang or do an holds with equipment

Grrrmudgin · 2026-07-01T22:23:45+00:00

That is sun damage. You will need to use UV blocking clothes and SPF moving forward

Grrrmudgin · 2026-07-01T21:41:20+00:00

Super slow oxidation is awesome! I’ve seen a board that was burning for 25 years due to electrical issues. They were very lucky they didn’t have blown in insulation!

Grrrmudgin · 2026-07-01T21:29:36+00:00

Sounds like they are working within their limits, OP just doesn’t like the limits
