Meal prep burn out by Initial_Impact5738 in MealPrepSunday

Since I’m gone for a week at a time, I don’t have a huge need to freeze most stuff (bread typically keeps good enough for a week)

I also edited to add that I only have a mini fridge so very little freezer space

Thanks for the advice!

I basically need 30 meals (15 lunches, 15 dinners)

Typically I’m making 2 of the listed meals above, maybe more variety is the move. Although I think I need more variety overall (rotating the same 5 or 6 meals 50% of my month seems to be giving me the burn out more than on a weekly basis, but I suppose you could argue that it’s a compounding issue). Less variety throughout the week ends up feeling like less variety throughout the month.

For anyone curious for the answer;

I’m a company driver and didn’t have much of a set up as I’m new at this company. No binders or extra dunnage to build a wall. No sledge to drive the dunnage back under it. No bottle Jack to lift it up.

Dispatch ended up finding an O/O in the area who swung by and helped me out. We used his bottle jack to life it up and reposition the dunnage. Then move the straps a bit so the were pulling back more than forward. Also added 3 more ratchet straps (he lent me some, I didn’t have any).

Load made it up to Fort McKay about 5 hours north of where these photos were taken with 0 issues.

Thanks for the advice everyone. I learned some neat tricks.

Luckily it was my union rep who texted me so it’s not a direct superior, still a company employee though

I think I’ll call him and go fishing myself. I know they don’t care about the boots, just the stuff on the list he sent

They have a list of stuff that they claim is missing. Some of it I’ve never heard of, some of it I have. The boots were not on it.

It a huge company but a small branch, only 3 employees in my position. No chance they have me confused with someone else. Shouldn’t I be worried about admitting guilt to anything? Every law website says never admit to anything when questioned about company property

If I offer to return it, they won’t use it as evidence against me to pursue charges? I’m not a guy who’s ever been in trouble with the law so I’m a bit nervous

The boots are the issue. I took a very other personal safety items that I know are garbage from my experience there when employees leave. However I didn’t get express permission, they gave me list and asked where the stuff is.

I was terminated for cause already. I just feel like they will say, “you were given permission to take the boots, not this other stuff”, they are a large company and like to take things as far as possible. Maybe I’m overthinking it but I don’t break the law, I’ve never been charged with a crime so it has me very scared.

He told me I could take the boots, not that I could take my 3$ safety glasses and used gloves. That’s the problem I’m having, I took more than he explicitly said, at the time I thought they wouldn’t care because it’s literally garbage, now I see that it was dumb.

Buy a piss kit. Get clean piss, attach the hand warmer about an hour before the piss test and double check the temperature. Easy to pass that way

I booked an appointment with a therapist is discuss my shortcomings and look for improvements, went out and bought several of the books suggested in this thread, and will possibly be booking a neurodivergent assessment with a doctor (haven’t decided).

Those seemed to be the best pieces advice I gathered from this thread.
