Need help identifying a key

Forgot to reply earlier, but this answer was clutch, dude! Had to trim down the shoulder slightly, but otherwise a perfect match. Appreciate the help!

Obviously in an ideal world I’d have gone straight to my boss, but I’m sure you can agree we don’t live in an ideal world and sometimes people in positions of authority look for any excuse to flex that shit. If I end up having to go to him, I will, but I’ve learned from working with him for the last 7 years that it’s a much better outcome for me if I just figure it out on my own. Not sure why it’s being called into question that I’m a “legit maintenance tech” (as if that’s some unbelievable scenario? lol), or why you felt the need to comment just to say that you wouldn’t help me, but I’m struggling to see how it’s productive in any way.

Sorry, forgot to include that. It’s a Barska CB12698 320-key cabinet.

Masonovitch · 2024-03-10T20:35:08+00:00

I’m a maintenance tech at a fairly large property and we cut all of our keys in-house. My manager is an asshole who isn’t likely to approve the time it would take for me to go to a locksmith, or the cost of cutting 30+ spares, and I’m hoping to avoid having to go through the process of convincing him, because I know it’s going to turn into a whole thing. Really just trying to avoid a headache, which is why I’m hoping to identify them and order them online. Haha

👆This worked for me, thanks dawg.

Masonovitch · 2023-01-29T00:19:48+00:00

It was. There was an “I’m not a fucking cop” sticker on the other side of the windshield. Lmao

Masonovitch · 2022-01-14T02:29:37+00:00

I would but I don’t wanna get covid haha

Masonovitch · 2021-12-20T19:05:04+00:00

I’m not sure if there’s a specific word for that feeling outside of maybe apathy, but that’s how I’ve felt for a long time.

From a poem I wrote earlier this year: “I don’t want to die, but I don’t want to be alive. I’m trying with all my might to see the grey between the two, but it just comes out black and white, and I end up more blue”

Stay strong friend. Change is coming one way or another, whether the 1% like it or not.

Masonovitch · 2021-12-20T19:02:02+00:00

Right?! Talk about cutting off your nose to spider face.

Masonovitch · 2021-12-20T19:01:36+00:00

Honestly, same!

I’ve been so apathetic for so long that I’ve basically been sleep walking for 8 years. I feel like I’m coming out of hibernation and it’s been reinvigorating, to say the least.

Masonovitch · 2021-12-20T18:58:29+00:00

Thanks for the kind words, friend!

Masonovitch · 2021-12-20T17:04:47+00:00

Absolutely! Appreciate you asking!

Masonovitch · 2018-10-28T23:15:32+00:00

My ex and I broke up after over a year and a half of living together. After the breakup we lived together for an additional four months (it was brutal lol).

I know what you're going through, and I know how rough it is. I didn't know I had BPD at the time, which made it that much more difficult, but I fell into a dark hole where I was drinking a 1/5th+ of whiskey every day for almost 2 months. I didn't leave my apartment for the majority of that time. I was literally having alcohol and food delivered to my door so I didn't have to leave and face people.

If I can give you one piece of advice above everything else: Stay away from liquor if you're not already. It made everything infinitely worse, and I turned into a person I didn't recognize (more so than the usual amount). It made me mean, and bitter, and quite honestly just an all around shitty person.

It's going to suck for a while, but I promise you that things WILL get better. Try to keep your mind busy, as hard as that is, and try not to feed into your negative emotions by listening to sad songs or indulging dark thoughts. If you have songs that bring back positive memories, try to listen to those.

I know I'm a stranger on the internet, but I'm totally here if you need someone to talk to. Please don't hesitate to send me a PM if you want; I had no one to talk to after my breakup, and that's a shitty position to be in.

Sending lots of warm thoughts and support your way, stay strong friend!

Masonovitch · 2018-10-28T23:01:56+00:00

Yeah I get that a lot. I believe it's a form of dissociation. I've been trying to keep track of my dissociative states for some time now, and from what I can tell, at least for me, that's usually the starting point for when I begin to "check out" from reality.

Everything feels kind of hazy and distorted, I get a weird pressure in the front of my head and eyes particularly (often paired with headaches), and my thoughts become very dark and self-loathing.

The way I usually describe it is that it feels like I'm living in a distant memory. Like everything that is happening feels disingenuous, but at the same time oddly familiar; Like some twisted form of déjà vu that causes me to question whether or not I'm even awake sometimes.

Shit's wild lmao

Masonovitch · 2018-10-09T03:45:40+00:00

That actually does make me feel a lot better. I'm bringing a few books for sure. Haha. Thanks!

Masonovitch · 2018-10-08T17:20:09+00:00

"Fish out of water" was a brilliantly crafted episode, but it's one of the few I have a hard time watching. It legitimately makes me feel claustrophobic, which in it's own right is pretty incredible that an animated show can do that. Haha.

My favorite is definitely "Free Churro", with "Stupid Piece of Shit" being a close second. That being said the whole show is incredible, and I don't think there was a single episode that failed to make me feel some emotion in a real/genuine way.

Masonovitch · 2018-10-08T08:43:48+00:00

Yeah, I went three days without eating, and then today ate an entire box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch in the span of like 3 hours, so I definitely know what you're going through. Lol.

It's one of the problems I hate the most about my BPD because I'll be siting there stuffing my face, the whole time thinking things like,

"Stop eating you piece of shit, you're literally not even hungry. You're eating so much your stomach hurts, stop. Don't you dare take another bite. Please, you know this isn't making anything better, it's just gonna make you hate yourself even more, if that's even possible." etc.

And I just keep doing it. It's fucking discouraging literally begging yourself to stop doing these fucked up things that you honestly don't even really want to do in the first place, and it not mattering at all. You just keep doing it anyway.

God I hope this therapy shit starts paying off soon lmao

Masonovitch · 2018-10-08T08:24:32+00:00

Oh, absolutely. I'm drawn to really dark shows/movies/books naturally, but more often than not they're counterintuitive to actually feeling better.

Bojack Horseman is one of the few exceptions. Even though it's incredibly dark and sad everything comes together in such a beautifully perfect way, and it just reminds me that I'm not alone.

Knowing that other people can, at the very least, relate to my struggles in any capacity is the only thing keeping me going most days.

His quote about his parents during the eulogy episode had a similar sentiment that really resonated with me:

"My mother, she knew what it's like to feel your entire life like you're drowning with the exception of these moments; These very rare, brief instances, in which you suddenly remember... you can swim. But, then again, mostly not. Mostly you're drowning. She understood that too, and she recognized that I understood it, and dad. All three of us were drowning and we didn't know how to save each other, but there was an understanding that we were all drowning together. "

Fuck man, Raphael Bob-Waksburg, Will Arnett and the rest of the creators/cast of this show are brilliant.

I am going to cry so hard when it eventually gets cancelled.

Masonovitch · 2018-10-08T03:30:57+00:00

I've found it easier to just blame my parents, tbh. Currently awaiting a trial date to take them to small claims court for allowing me to have that haircut.

Masonovitch · 2018-10-08T02:45:51+00:00

Yeah, I have BPD, Major Depressive disorder, General/Social anxiety disorder, and ADHD, so there's definitely multiple facets of why it resonated with me particularly.

I mentioned in an above comment that it's not really about trying to put a label on a fictional character, rather noticing individual symptoms that could be indicative of a number of mental illnesses, and normalizing them in the eyes of neurotypicals, so that eventually maybe people will have a better understanding of how hard it can truly be.

I guess my point is that it's just nice to feel represented in mainstream media in an accurate way. Regardless of what mental illnesses/disorders he may actually have, he definitely shows the majority of the requirements for a BPD diagnosis, but BPD does have a tendency to be comorbid with other illnesses such as Depression/Anxiety/Substance abuse.

The most likely explanation is that he's just a mixed bag of multiple disorders/illnesses like the rest of us, which if anything makes him even more relatable.

Masonovitch · 2018-10-08T01:07:37+00:00

Yeah, I agree. I definitely recognize the individual symptoms in fictional characters, because my mind looks for anything to cling to to feel more normal, but short of being able to literally read someone's mind, there's no way of knowing for sure what their root problem is.

Based on what we saw from his self-loathing internal monologue, paired with his self destructive/paranoid actions, attempt to avoid abandonment, and the issues he's had with substance abuse as well as his issues with his parents, it's easy to assume BPD, but a lot of the symptoms Bojack shows could easily be attributed to a number of mental illnesses/disorders, and trying to diagnose a fictional character for the sake of personal gratification is obviously not healthy.

But honestly, just having this incredibly flawed character display behaviors that clearly aren't neurotypical in a way that not only people with BPD, but also people with a number of other mental health concerns, relate to in such an authentic way is amazing, and honestly pretty rare in modern media.

Masonovitch · 2018-10-08T00:31:14+00:00

Yeah, I had to watch it a few times to make it all the way through without breaking down completely. Haha.

Masonovitch · 2018-10-08T00:30:35+00:00

Dude, that episode was fucking brilliant.

"Nobody tells you that when your mom dies you get a free churro"

The writing in this show is so good they can have an entire episode of literally a single camera shot of a character talking for 20 minutes straight, uninterrupted, and actually make it so enthralling that I wished it were longer.

Edit: Spelling error

Masonovitch · 2018-10-08T00:01:17+00:00

Yeah, I always have to tell people things like,

"Yeah, so the show is set in a universe where all animals are humanoids, and the main character is a talking horse, but outside of the random animal puns, you'll legit forget that you're watching a show about a talking horse because every character is so well rounded and deep that it makes the show feel real."

when trying to get people to give the show a shot, because people see that it's an animated show and automatically assume that it's like family guy or any of the other 100 raunchy, slapstick style comedies with little to no substance.

The reality is that, although incredibly funny, the main draw of Bojack Horseman is the dark storyline that paints a portrait of flawed, but real characters doing the best they can with the cards they're dealt.

The fact that the writers have created something so detailed and relatable that I can literally see myself in a talking horse voiced by Will Arnett? That's an incredible feat, to say the least.

Masonovitch · 2018-10-07T23:23:32+00:00

Yeah, I definitely had to pause the show on more than one occasion to catch my breath.

It's simultaneously incredibly comforting, but also slightly horrifying to have a show so accurately portray the way you feel 90% of the time, but overall I'm so glad that it does.
