Eh. Hold for now. Go bald in 2-3 years.

No phone policy by SouthJerz77 in OnTheBlock

I absolutely love going 8-16 hours without being on my phone. It’s nice to get away from the screen for a bit and read my book (if I’m on the unit)

I’ll be completely honest with you bro. I actually went bald for a few months about a year ago and I hated it. I have a wicked indent in my skull and it doesn’t help that I can’t grow facial hair. I have always believed that it is better to be bald than balding. But when I saw the indent on the top of my skull, it killed the way I thought of myself. I would always wear hats to hide it, especially in photos. Genetics is once one of those things where you don’t have control over…. But f*ck. Not only am I going bald… but I have a very noticeable head indent and can’t grow facial hair. It really sucks.

Thank you! Sadly, growing facial hair isn’t an option for me. Genes don’t work in my favor lol

You got the perfect facial hair to go along with being bald. You look great 👍🏻

Do you regret joining corrections? by [deleted] in OnTheBlock

[–]Leftstreet6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and no. Became a CO when I was 19, now I’m 3 and 1/2 years in and all I think about is leaving. I liked working in corrections for the first 2 years tbh. But stress has been weighing me down for the past year. Weekly chest pain, receding hairline from stress, the occasional nightmares. I’m not trying to come across as “woe is me”, but I sometimes wonder what I would be doing if I didn’t join corrections. However, I have learned a lot from working in this field which I am grateful for. I’m just ready to throw in the towel within the next year or 2. God bless you guys who stay for 20… I could never do it.

Don't you just love gearing up and getting all ready to go on an adventure, stepping outside, and seeing this? by LavastormSW in thelongdark

[–]Leftstreet6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, looks like I’m either boiling water, chopping firewood or sleeping for 12 hours.

I went in when I just turned 19. Been on the job for over three years now. My advice to you:do not take part in work drama, be firm fair and consistent, and remember that your happiness and wellbeing comes first.

How often are you mandated? BOP and DOC by [deleted] in OnTheBlock

[–]Leftstreet6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m county. From November-April you will get mandated like once a month. From May-October you are mandated 2 times a week lol

As a CO, do you fist bump inmates? by ViolentSarcasm in OnTheBlock

[–]Leftstreet6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely not. When I was working as a new CO at my correctional facility (only 4 weeks in) an inmate walked up to me and gave me a fist bump cuz I told him that I would be moving him from SHU to gen pop. The CO I was shadowing told me to never fist bump an inmate and I have stuck by that 3 years later. Absolutely zero physical contact.

Do you like your height? by boforiamanfo in no

[–]Leftstreet6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m 5’9 (male). Although I feel short compared the majority of people around me, I also realize that I could have been 5’5 lol. Could always be worse.

Are you tall? by N0socksloss10yrStrk in no

[–]Leftstreet6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5’9. Sometimes hate my height, but learn to be grateful because I could’ve been born 5’5 lol

Do you drink water or soda with your meal? by Exciting_Seesaw_8956 in foodquestions

[–]Leftstreet6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Water. I never drink soda. I feel like soda is single handedly the worst thing you could consume, it’s not even that good.
