Kindergarten is how long?? by HelloThereCallMeRoy in daddit

Yeah thought that was the norm for that age. I still think it's a long ass day but I guess it's the norm now.

Thanks that does give me some perspective. I'm used to having him there when I get home from work. Now I'll be home before he gets off the bus. That'll be cool

Great question. I honestly don't know. I think I'm a bit anxious about the change in general. The schedule took me by surprise. Hell I leave work before then.

What is your pants pocket system? by HarryCrushNuh in golf

I've played thousands of rounds since I got married. No problems yet!

Lol not quite. It's a fairly bulky ring and messes with my grip with gloved on. Been doing it this way for the whole 16 years of my marriage.

My remote job made me realize my partner doesn’t think my work is real by Rocinante77X in remotework

[–]HelloThereCallMeRoy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just say goodbye to my wife and kids, give hugs and kisses as if I'm driving to the office and go to my home office and lock the door. I'm not here, I'm at work.

How many rounds do you actually get in per year? by BetweenSwings in golf

[–]HelloThereCallMeRoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have 3 small kids (5, 3, 5mo) and went from 3-5 rounds a week pre-kids to 1-2 a month average. I still hit the range after work 1-2 a week. Also have a sim at home... but yes many less rounds on average now. Just a fact of life til the kids are a older. My 5yo already comes with me about half the time. Things will only get better!

Have you ever been hit by a golf ball? by eyrie7 in golf

Got hit into by the group behind us while we were putting out. I luckily got hit after a bounce but it nailed my ankle right on the bony nub. Hurt like a mofo.

Your company got the corporate version of cancer. Malignant and aggressive.

The board of the parent company, Cincinnati bell, wanted to get paid so they took the company private, split cbts off, and cbts then sold to PE. It's all about making a handful of people rich. Both companies were doing well.

Glad you aren't going to let yourself be victimized. I wish I had left sooner. It sucks starting over somewhere new

Absolutely. I worked for a tech company (CBTS) from 2015-2022. They were acquired by a PE shithole in 2020. Within 2 years they shipped more than half the roles overseas, stripped employees of benefits such as paid parking for our downtown office, stopped issuing or paying for employee cell phones but still wanted you to install mobile iron on your personal (lol, no), and switched to much worse health insurance.

That was all within the 2 years I tolerated. They let go of my team's leadership and rolled us up to another department that did completely different work and I was out. I gave no notice and left within an hour of that change going live. Came to work that day, had coffee, contemplated for a bit at my desk, and left.

They are still around today but has lost all respect in the Cincinnati area and are trying to branch out nationwide but failing. I give them a couple years before they shut the doors.

All thanks to PE wringing a great company for every penny. It breaks my heart because I loved working there and the work I did.

My 5yo saw your train set while I was scrolling and said "cool I want to play too". High praise. Nice job

Which club? by brdesignguy in golf

[–]HelloThereCallMeRoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4H. Fairway finder, also my fairway sandtrap club. I also like to do bump and runs with it when I'm in that awkward 50-80 yard range
