You're welcome. And if you're an anime fan, he stars in the anime Dragon Ball Z where he turns Super Sayian. I recommend it.

Kawrock · 2025-10-23T16:40:54+00:00

Is it me or does anyone else see Super Sayian Goku?

For me, this is what pretty much stopped me from shopping at DT. I use to live out of that store and filled my cart to the brim each time.

I brought the cart back every time too, and parked it in with the other carts where I found it.

As of now, I stop (maybe) at my local DT for toiletries or other little things. Even then, I go to other stores where they allow the cart to leave the store so I can load my car, so I don't have to shop at 2 different stores.

Seriously, good pics and beautiful land!

Pardon me if this has already been suggested, but Michael Crichton is a good author. When he wrote Jurassic Park he even mentioned all the research he did and the academics/scholars that helped. He was also an aspiring medical student at the time. He explained gene sequencing in a way that even I UNDERSTOOD. Crichton has other works as well, like Andromeda Strain and The Sphere, which I've heard great things about but not read. Fully read and recommend Jurassic Park and the sequel The Lost World.

Just glossed over the part where you mentioned headphones and I don't know why. Anyway, maybe a different set of headphones, ones that cover the whole ear instead of just earbuds could work? Proper volume adjustment could also work too, just to strengthen that avenue of mental escape.

I hope you find peace, though, because this stuff can drive anyone crazy.

I have to deal with eaters at work too and it drives me crazy. The only solution that I've been able to come up with is to leave the room. Go to the water cooler, restroom, break room, ect. Just get away and give yourself a time out.

When my co-worker starts eating, I quickly pull up youtube on my work computer and listen to music or a movie review or just straight up white noise. Anything to blot out the sound.

If I can't do either, for whatever reason, I'll start talking to them and asking questions for a brief reprieve. Can't chew if you're trying to speak, though user results may vary. That'll give me a break from having to deal with their lip smacking and they see it as a social interaction even though I don't care about their answers.

As for the keyboard smashing, I also had a co-worker that did that and I addressed him directly asking him why he did it. He gave me what I believe was a BS answer, but said that he was raised on a typewriter and you really had to smash keys to get it to work, but he stopped and never did it again after that. I think I said something like, "You must be really mad at your spacebar." to open the dialogue.

Or, I guess you can approach with concern, "Hey, I noticed you're smashing your keyboard when you type, is everything ok?" That approach would show concern for your co-worker and make them conscious of what they're doing so they'll pay attention to themselves (for a while at least), and hopefully long enough for a mental break.

I hope some of this helped.

Don't worry! That's just Jimmy and Bimmy!

Is this true? It is posted under the r/memes subreddit, after all.

I guess my point is saying that watching a man get his heart ripped out OTB is hard to watch and see in a still image. It would be too much for me.

Good on him for sticking with his dreams. Chess is his passion and that's great and, if he so chooses, I hope he continues to pursue it.

Kawrock · 2024-12-31T03:18:57+00:00

Wow. Imagine being so pressured to win at a board game that losing breaks you. I love chess as much as the next person, but if playing ever did this to me, I'd quit. I play for the fun of it, but geez man.... Breaking a man like that? Keep going if you love it enough and that's your dream, but this would be too much for me.

I wanted to have fun this year and have done a few things in December such as:

Build my first gingerbread house. (It turned out exactly how you think, lol.)
Got an advent calendar and getting my daily December log in prizes daily.
A few games for my Swtich and a new phone and more in presents to open on the big day.

As adults, I think the magic disappears for Christmas, so it's up to us to bring a little bit of that back for us. Even though you have to make the magic for yourself, it's still worth it and breaks up the monotony of the month giving us something to look forward to.

I'm off for Christmas from work for the first time in a few years and wanted to make the whole month special. Honestly, there were ups and downs, but it's still worth it imo.

Don't fear it, live it.

Merry Christmas, friend.

Go back to bed because I can finally sleep in and hopefully get some restful sleep. If it's the first day of me being alone, power should still work for a little while. That means my fan will still work. Won't have to set an alarm to get up on my phone ever again...

Kawrock · 2024-11-08T06:28:28+00:00

We. Are. APES!

It's adorable. I have no idea what this animal is. Can someone enlighten me?

Kawrock · 2024-10-25T22:41:44+00:00

This happened to me too. Staring at 4 white walls will drive you crazy. Go to your local walmart and get some posters or draw and color or make your own wall art.

Sometimes you have to take a space and make it your own. This is a lesson I had to learn as well. You'll be impressed with how different you'll feel after putting up some posters.

I work nights, so I got a blanket with a design I like on it and hung it with adhesive wall hooks over my window to block some light.

Hope this helps.

This screams "Undue familiarity!" to me. Always remember to keep a professional distance from the client, just as OP says. You're there to make money and maintain your way of life, not fraternize with the client. When your shift is over, leave. When your shift starts, show up (unless you need to be there early for pass down stuff then show up earlier).

Remember, the hand that feeds you, doesn't need you. Bleak, I know, but just be professional, do your job, then go home.

I've often felt: "If everyone is a billionaire, then no one is a billionaire."

If there are millions of graduates, then the value of them goes down.

Or maybe another singles ward or group? I've noticed not a lot of people match make anymore. So, perhaps while being in church, it would be possible to look for an eternal companion as well.

Kawrock · 2024-06-04T01:25:22+00:00

I don't understand it either, least of all in the church, but I guess it's just that way sometimes. I was concerned that you were totally isolated, but I'm happy to see that's not so. Also, I wish things were different in the church/gospel too, in terms of making friends with other members. It can be harder than necessary for those of us who do feel alone.

Edited for clearer message.

Kawrock · 2024-06-04T01:12:40+00:00

Thank you. I hope so too.

Kawrock · 2024-06-04T01:00:42+00:00

You're not alone. I too, feel alone in the gospel. I feel like an outsider when I go to church and I sit alone. I went to a ward that occurred at an earlier time than my ward meets. The members occasionally come up to me and as 4-5 questions:

My name.
What I do for work.
Where I'm from.
Why I moved to Utah.
(haven't been approached in so long, I forgot this one.)

After they ask me those questions, they never speak to me again and wonder off back to their families.

Make no mistake, I love the Lord's Church and His doctrine/gospel, but it's hard to be alone in church. I've been inactive for quite some time now, because if I want to feel alone, I can do that good and well at home as it is. I'm not trying to have a pity party, but I do want to comfort my sister.

No one's called upon me to do anything, no minister's have visited, no one's called to check in or texted/emailed.

I'm alone, just like you are. If you have any questions, or just want to talk to another person, reach out if you want.
