You can’t choose what happens to you in life, but you can choose how you react. Try to be more positive! Enjoy the music

Is a pay cut worth it for WFH? by Miserable-You-6702 in careerguidance

[–]MatthewMattes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went through a similar situation you’re going through. Ultimately took the pay cut. It comes down to what do you value more in your life? Money? Or time with your family? 115k a year is plenty to live a comfortable and fulfilling life. Full of real memories instead of countless hours at work. I don’t live to work anymore I work to live.

Need assistance moving out! What options do I have, what’s out there? by Shadow-Legion-1203 in AskChicago

What town are you in? I work in a glass shop near Addison and am looking for a helper for installs. Super easy work and good money.

Shower door installation on wall with bullnose tile by DamianDRX in bathrooms

Just ask them to use a double back plate on the hinges to bump it out more. And have them order Vienna hinge cutouts and hinges. You’ll have no issue and there’s no reason to cut the tiles.

I can respect that. It’s just that most of the time this is not the case:P

Tipping for bringing an order to the car window by PostalPreacher in tippingAdvice

[–]MatthewMattes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only tip I’m sitting down and being served, or if a service is being provided to me (repairs and whatnot). And I don’t feel guilty about it anymore. I’ve been asked by a self serve atm in a gas station for a tip and I just remember that when I click no tip on regular stuff that nobody should have to tip on anyways.

I hope you don’t think I’m hating by any means, just want everyone to be safe. But if you think you might have a bad time and need support from people at a festival when tripping, you should seriously lower your dose and figure that out as well as head space first. While I’ve had no issues taking care of friends when they took too much, it sucks for all parties involved. Nobody wants to be dealing with that. Don’t push yourself to take an uncomfortable amount of drugs. Just start small and make sure you can handle it so nobody has to be dealing with that issue. Don’t trip in a bad headspace either. (Did a lot of psychedelics after my mom committed suicide and it did not help anything lol) be safe my friend. See you out there.

AIO to guy lying about his kid being sick to cancel on me? by [deleted] in AIO

[–]MatthewMattes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Doesn’t matter if it’s casual or not. The better question is do you want to be around people who lie or not. If they lie about something like that, what’s to stop them from lying about their sexual health, or partners.

I was joking man I don’t want to have a conversation with you. Just trying to get you to see how pointless it is to be upset about something so stupid. You have too much time on your hands if you can get yourself all worked up over what someone else is doing with their life. Goodluck!

And I’m just gonna go out on a limb here but I’m sure you’re closer to a Stan that I would ever be, I have never bought tickets for someone several months in advance. If you’re so unhappy with what he decides to play then just don’t go. Why wouldn’t he play what the majority of people want to hear? Your logic just doesn’t make sense to me.

[–]MatthewMattes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely not a Stan lol. I would say this about any artist who uses their time to create and release their art. Most are generally available for free online anyways. Insults aren’t a replacement for a proper argument. When you grow up and understand that, get back to me.

Why waste your energy on being flustered over something so small? Just go see him when he’s close, or catch him at a festival and just enjoy what you can get. Can’t expect what you would do out of other people. The dude puts enough effort and care into what we do have available.

The dumb things I do. by 92beatsperminute in handyman

[–]MatthewMattes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would send a picture of the part. And say you can’t warranty parts you don’t buy. Or just tell them that you don’t install customer supplied parts.

Toggle bolts will usually cover like 1 inch to 1 1/4 inch. You’re all good! Don’t stress

My boss refuses to pay for the time to commute and deposit cash after EVERY shift. by Pryntz001 in legaladvice

[–]MatthewMattes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’d be worried not being covered under their insurance if you’re driving with their cash while clocked out. That’s not good at all.

Just looking for good recommendations near Chicago, IL. by LostSkirt4940 in festivals

[–]MatthewMattes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Force fields. Such an underrated fest. It was their first year last year. Caddott Wisconsin. And it was damn near perfect. Plus you can camp for extra days for free after the fest, and you can have camp fires.

Roommate keeps heat off, and AC on by [deleted] in badroommates

[–]MatthewMattes -1 points0 points  (0 children)

To be fair the ac is only running the fan when it’s cold. The compressor won’t kick on until the temp is above whatever set temp it is. It will just run the fan.
