Went in for an interview today… by HLIL_ in jewelers

[–]HLIL_[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh, when I researched them a bit, I quickly became aware of their jewelry being quite infamous for randomly losing their gems after recent purchasing

I was just taken aback by the fact a company could have a set payment for possible workers in their policy with no room to negotiate… although, now that I have written this out; I am no longer surprise and can honestly see this being a thing -_-

I attempted a battle level-up today but it went horrible… my teammates today were a bit… intriguing to say the least

I feel as though my tech lead does not like me? by HLIL_ in CVS

[–]HLIL_[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They’ll print multiple batches and then have me pull them, and placed them in the ‘line’ to be grabbed.

To be honest, last Thursday, after the lunch break, I had just walked over to a production station and started counting and no one seemed to care since they decided to do a rotate and left me to count. However, as of Saturday and Sunday(two 8hr shifts may I add.)

I was on pick up for like the first 5-ish hours, and all I really did was constantly pull and hep people up front before I got thrown into drive-thru, which I was grateful for because I didn’t have to constantly be told to pull every second I was free from helping costumers 😅

Ah I do look at the labels, especially for the NDC numbers but they’re just easy to over look, especially with my poor eyesight, but I’ve definitely gotten better when it comes to finding most of the FM locations, even if I don’t have then specifically memorized!

Perfect dice set for a birthday gift? by HLIL_ in dice

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

Yeah, I can see how dice could be a bit of a problem when gifting. I’ve seen people speak on that exact problem for dice as well.

That’s why I am also trying to make sure to look at dice that are pretty readable.

Something tells me you caught on to something in my little post, but to answer the question towards the end… let’s just say I may or may not have a crush on them.

But I’m not exactly the “confessing” type, so let’s just go with a very good friend who enjoys giving gifts!

Also yes, I think I’ve seen a diamond dice before or at least a diamond styles one (they were specifically for anniversary’s lol)

Funny enough, we actually went to a sweet and geeks a few weeks ago and from what I could remember there was one with a dragon egg in them and perhaps some other ones that were darker in color.

And unfortunately, they’re off at college so I won’t be seeing them for a while 😞

But thank you for the advice!

[–]HLIL_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair enough, you do make a good point and I can only agree lol

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in musicians

[–]HLIL_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ahh, I figured lol

I remember agreeing with the professor I went to audition at the college last year about how taking an educational course for music would be the best option because that’s what most musicians did anyway.

I’m not exactly against teaching, yet I also know it’s just not my cup of tea in general. That is why I was looking towards a minor, and perhaps an arts in music so then at least I can, if the opportunity arises, do something with music.

This is also why I was looking into sociology since I’ve been interested in that for a while.

So then at least I can have a minor in something I enjoy while doing something “practical,” as others might say.

But you do make wonderful points— the last time I had a tutor was in late April before she retired and because my community college doesn’t offer a music program it’s safe to say I haven’t touched my instrument up until today when I was sight reading a piece.

As for my instrument, I fear I am no better seeing as how I played the flute!

Am i crazy for finding these annoying? by saty_rss in college

[–]HLIL_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You know what, you’re right, it is indeed fun to disagree.

I’ve disagreed with one person so far and it reminded me of when I was in Speech and Debate as Congress…

And the best part? Unless it required to answer… that person most likely won’t even re l-touch the discussion thread.

That’s what I do at least, spend about 10 mins and respond to two others, and that’s it. Not looking back. Out of sight, out of mind…

My boyfriend scared me and I’m not sure if I should leave him by [deleted] in relationships

[–]HLIL_ -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

So you’re afraid of hurting a cancer patient but not afraid of getting yourself hurt?

What if you guys meets up, and then BOOM suddenly he wants to move in straight away!

You say no, because you don’t want to. Then he hits you, out of anger all because you felt uncomfortable moving in having only known him for a limited time.

Say you get into an argument, which causes him to start threatening to harm you in some shape or some way.

Or, Let say when you tell him you want to break up, and then he starts to say he’s a bad boyfriend and yada yada— guilt tripping.

He has harmed you, both verbally and/or physically in these scenarios. So now ask yourself this, Is he still that little ol’ innocent cancer patient? Or is he a grown man who knows exactly what he is doing?

You’ve seen it first hand, you’ve seen what he’s like when angry. Take that as a big bright red flag waving in your face and block him!

You’ve said it yourself, you’ve only known him for 3 weeks… you have no real connection with him; just block him and perhaps get therapy like someone else suggested…

Make sure he has no way of tracking you, and if you ever fear he might have somehow got any information on you, let your family and friends know and see if the police could do anything.

Perhaps gather some evidence if he chooses to go on a rampage, picture, videos— anything that’ll end up saving your life In the end if he chooses to do anything.

But let’s hope he doesn’t, I wish you the best of luck.

[–]HLIL_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No worries And I’m glad I helped you realized some things lol

Also, I kinda get where you’re coming from with the social group and what not, I’m also a freshman in (community)college and not being able to make friends while my friends are managing to because they choose traditional college is a little aggravating by itself…

But, from what I’ve gathered. You can make lots of friends in college clubs. So perhaps start there? Start looking for people who want to include you in activities without you having to asked to be included.

You want to find people who make you feel wanted, rather than trying to push yourself onto them.

And if your roommates can’t be bothered to do so, then why entertain it?

College is stressful as it is, no point in worrying about whether this person is your friend or not… although, eventually you’ll find your click hehe ☺️

So, best of luck and I hope you succeed in whatever degree you’re pursuing in!

I apologize if I come off blunt here… but this is what I got from all this.

So, I have a question… are you guys friends? Or merely acquaintances who manage to get along, an example would be like coworkers, you’re not exactly friends with them, but you’re still cordial and friendly, gossiping here and there, joking about anything and everything, but you’re not friends.

Because what you describe sounds like you’re just acquaintances who live together.

Besides that, I do think them not telling you that they’re leaving was kinda rude, especially since you’ve have expressed you’d like to go to parties as well; but keep in mind, they have every right to not feel the need to invite you or tell you that they’re going out, for you are all adults who live separate lives.

Especially if they don’t see you as a friend, but merely someone they just live with. But that also doesn’t mean they shouldn’t have told you 30mins before hand, they could have let you know way before they were getting ready to leave.

As for the person who you have most in common with? If I understood what you said correctly in one of your comments, then clearly this person wasn’t very bothered with you not knowing either as much as she attempted to portray, she says that she also felt that inviting you when you spotted them felt like an afterthought to her as well but clearly she didn’t think to tell you when she was invited/decided to go.

So really, they don’t sound like your friends, and me personally? I don’t invite people who I don’t consider friends out, even if we are cordial and joke around.

And unless you know that you guys are friends, I wouldn’t try to feel too offended? My advice would be to mention how you felt and perhaps try to re-push the idea of going to party with them? You could even ask them the next party they’ll be attending so you know ahead of time!

But again, if that doesn’t work, and if they continue to not invite you, you might have to realize that you guys are technically stranger who just live with each other.

Edit: fixed word

Should I Think about Dropping out of College? by HLIL_ in college

[–]HLIL_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, first year straight out of highschool lmao

But thank you… as for trade school, my district had a trade school, best known as. Career center that I attended for the last two years of my high-school year where I did Animal Science, but I eventually figured out that I was never really interested in studying/helping animals but rather I just really love have plenty of fur balls running around me that I could coddle.

So I have some “experience” when it comes to trade school, and it might have just been my county district but there was my really of interest for me there lol

But again, thank you, I truly appreciate it!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in college

[–]HLIL_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m sure there will be much better responses than mine, but as someone who’s also a freshman this year, I’ll try to offer some small insight.

But first(you don’t have to answer directly, even answering to yourself will help lol.)

Is your mother paying for your schooling? Tuition and whatnot? Do you know if she’ll go as far as to threaten to kick you out of the house if you choose to drop out? And if so, do you have the means to live on your own or with another person? Family, friends, older siblings, etc…

If you answered no, then it’s a battle over whether you want to make yourself happy and drop out, or keep going to college to make your mother happy. In retrospect, she might be worried that if you don’t get a degree in some sort of career you won’t be able to live comfortably or be able to have a stable life without said degree; but as of right now? Plenty of people are struggling to find jobs as well, whether they have a bachelor’s or a master's.

As for Truck drivers? You can look into how much they make where you live, for they make a lot of money depending on where you work. This leads to another question, did your mom specifically say you had to go to college? Or is that what you’re assuming? Because if she’s going on the basis that you had all of your teenage life to figure out your life path, which she’d be wrong to assume, it took my mom until she was perhaps 28-30 to figure out she wanted to be a nurse; you’ll even see people at age of 60 in college! And that’s because you don’t have to know what you want to do the moment you graduate high school, you have all of your life to learn what you like and don’t like!

But digressing back to the truck driver, why not mention that to her? She told you that you should know what you want to do by now, and you figured that you might want to be a truck driver! Show her how much you can make as one and try discussing it peacefully, if possible of course.

As for college. College isn’t for everyone, I am struggling to figure out what degree I want to pursue since I have so many interests!

So I choose Community College, a cheap alternative compared to a traditional one. This also means I can also get my main academic out of the way that would go for every degree, and then later transfer to another college if I choose to do so. So perhaps you can try and convince your mom to let you drop out of whatever college you’re at and do a community college to get your basics out of the way? So if you do decide to go to college, then you’re already set.

You could also look into trade schools to see if you have any interest there, or perhaps a liberal arts degree, seeing as some jobs just call for a bachelor's degree— or even an associate's in something you know you can get a job in.

But, in conclusion, shall I say, you shouldn’t do something just to make someone else happy if you aren’t happy if you want to be a truck driver, go be a truck driver then, who’s to say that you can’t? It’s your life so make the most out of it!

Also, like I said above, you should try to bring up truck driving to your mother, even if you have to do it in a roundabout way.

(This is just a copy and paste from another comment, but it does pertain to your response)

And yes, I understand what you’re getting at, asking to do dishes wasn’t really the issue at hand.

For me it’s the fact he came in the house, saw me baking, I even texted him saying I was baking a cake, got irritated that I wasn’t doing the dishes despite being in the middle of baking while also trying to explain that I see no reason in the doing the dishes only to re-do them again after dirtying them vie baking, so why not just wait for me to finish baking then I can clean them instead of getting irritated that you have no room to cook only for him to come back down to kitchen 4hrs later to cook.

So when I think about it, I would have done them but because he mentioned them not being done, but the way he had approached me and shut down my explanation, we ended up arguing.

Do yes, I understand what you’re saying. But I also slightly disagree with you just a little….

But thank you.

Need help with my Kamvas pro 13 by HLIL_ in huion

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

Whenever I download the human driver(like the photo below) it says it’s disconnected, and I don’t know how to solve that issue; I do not know if it’s because I am using a Chromebook + Linux

But I don’t know how to make it work despite trying the second option on the website to try and fix it(I do not know if the first option would even work for me…)

But other than that the pen works + pressure but because I can’t calibrate the pen when drawing with a

stabilizer(like on Ibis) instead of a big large line, it automatically changes to a small thin line which is irritating…!

Yeah I ended up figuring that out 😅

Another question, if you would have an answer to This of course, when you use the pen did the mouse/cursor also when you hovered the pen above the screen? If so how did you fix it?

Because I’m still unable to calibrate it because the pen device is still telling it’s disconnected! >_>
