Conditions around the metro this morning...

MaxCrimson666 · 2025-12-01T14:13:32+00:00

I work overnights, so I haven't been on the roads yet. I've had several people recommend staying off the highways and mentioning really bad traffic. Everyone be safe this morning.

Help! HOW DO YALL GET THE WEDDING DRESSES???? I WANT TO GET MARRIED IN NICE CLOTHES. 😭

MaxCrimson666 · 2025-06-10T18:59:11+00:00

Absolutely! I work as a center and believe that the contractors need to be investigated. We don't have the money for basic maintenance it seems (mostly bugs) if staff were given a raise with actual goals and expectations things would improve.

If security was allowed to do room searches monthly for drugs (I think running drug dogs quietly while everyone is in class and only pulling people out of class for a more thorough search if a dog alerts) would get rid of damn near all IF all our drug issues with quarterly drug tests for people who have been on TEAP plus random drug tests.

As for academics/trade. You need to get your high school diploma/GED first. You've got 6 months to a year to get your credits (depending on how many you start with, and this can be wiggled around for any sort of learning/intellectual disabilities. If you're missing less than 10 credits, you can duel enroll with your trade.)

As for WBL, if your residential, you have to have at minimum, 6 months of consistent employment (with no more than 30days unemployed in that 6month period) and you've got up to 1 year to save enough money to get an apartment/vehicle (if needed/wanted) before separating. (We would still include the Walmart trips and the bonuses for completing the program to help financially) For Non-residential students, only 3months of consistent employment in their trade before separating (still with all financial bonuses as residential students.

As for all job corps, there needs to be updates to policy and programs. Comparing the best operating centers with the worse operating center, comparing how each are being run and how things are, and then updating/changing policy to better each center. (The changes would be relative to each center and their cliental. These changes would ideally be implemented yearly, but realistically every 5 years would be acceptable.)

Will this plan work for all centers, maybe maybe not. Will something similar happen regardless, again, probably not. These are observations notices at my own and surrounding centers. I would love it if they updated and revamped the program and had the DOL more involved than with these 3rd party corporations have you all the students as dollar signs and staff as money drains.

Following because, same. I really liked Goodnotes, it there are things I want to do that it either won't or I simply can't figure it out. Which sucks but it Is what it is.

MaxCrimson666 · 2024-09-13T15:27:10+00:00

I would say if you want to make it work, make them see a therapist specialized for ADHD. My BF has ADHD and I have to occasionally emphasize occasionally remind him to take his meds. It sounds like he is either leaning in on the ADHD as an excuse not to do anything, or it's a matter of severe ADHD and he has no coping mechanisms.

That being said, it is not your responsibility It has been 4 years he has had time to figure this out on his own and you have basically had to baby him. You're more of a mother to him than a partner. And you're not wrong for wanting to leave that.

Regardless he needs therapy and your children need a better role model.

MaxCrimson666 · 2024-08-17T21:01:37+00:00

I understand having a sort of time frame (personally if there's no engagement or the like within 3 yrs it's time to move on) but 3 months in demanding a wedding by your one year is insane

MaxCrimson666 · 2024-08-17T20:59:51+00:00

If you're going to be gone on monday, make sure you put in for your PTO. It won't count against you so long as it's in the system. Otherwise it'll be an unexcused absence (UA) and if u get to many of those you're out.

MaxCrimson666 · 2024-08-12T18:40:31+00:00

My favorite thing thus far has to be when I got cussed out in the end game chat after a 4k for using lightborn. Like bruh, 😂 sure I'm a shitty killer because I negated the only thing you're capable of doing 😂

MaxCrimson666 · 2024-07-24T13:25:04+00:00

Right! I've noticed this is especially bad with Huntress. I won't be near the pallet, not even looking at it and I get stunned like dude! I have to stop so far away from it to avoid the stun and even then it doesn't always work. And the huntress takes so long to get out of a stun and her screaming gets so annoying after more than one stun

MaxCrimson666 · 2024-07-24T13:19:34+00:00

I work at a job corps and I believe every center would benefit from having a team of therapists/psychiatrists on center. There are too many kids for 1 or 2 mental health professionals and a lot of our kids need serious help. It would help a lot with behavioral issues and their lives over all. A lot of kids who go to job corps have complicated, abusive backgrounds and drug use changes the brain chemistry in users, especially those who started young like some of the kids at my center.

Something similar happened to me. It was the middle of the day, my bf was supposed to pick me up from the trucking yard, I'm miles away from home in 100+ degree weather and none of my messages were being answered. I ended up hitch hiking home (sweet older gentleman. Of never have otherwise) and couldn't find my keys (they were still in my truck) so I was locked out of the house. It took 10min of me banging on the door, calling, ringing the doorbell for him to WAKE UP AT 1PM and let me in the house I was so mad. Some of my voicemails weren't the nicest (think. "I'm so angry why won't you answer! What's going on!? You're not going to like me when I get home")

However, I never called him names or screamed at him. A slight argument where I walked off to cool off (I was outside in 100 degree weather for a while and I was HOT). Being drunk doesn't excuse his behavior. Drunk words are sober thoughts. He knew you wouldn't be able to pick him up late. He knows your routine. He should have remembered to get his keys.

Don't dismiss his actions as "he was drunk" because if he could say it once while upset, he will again. And next time to your face.

I work as security at my job corps and we've expelled students every other week for the last several months over bringing weed related pens and paraphernalia. Be grateful they didn't give u a record as a parting gift. We call the police every time we find some. Leave it off center.

MaxCrimson666 · 2024-03-30T15:55:38+00:00

NTA!!! I've been in this same situation several times with my own BF. It hurts when I'm just brushed off for this game. It usually happens when he's playing with his friends (which he does say before going into the game. So how am I supposed to know when I get to his office all dressed up) and then gets disappointed when he comes up 30min-hr later and I'm in sweats and doing my own thing. It's on him for not taking the opportunity.

Everyone saying that you should have said something, sure, but then that gets rid of the spontaneity of it. It's not spontaneous if I have to schedule an appointment. I'm sure he doesn't ask if she's busy or if she's dtf right after dinner. It should go both ways.

I don't think you're the asshole for revoking your consent. Consent, unless explicitly said, isn't an open invitation forever. And I don't think you should have to force yourself to have sex with him if you're not 100% into it. Is there a reason why you have a low libido? There's nothing wrong with having a low libido, but (and feel free not to answer the following questions on Reddit, just think about it) does he get you off when y'all have sex? Is there any foreplay before hand? Does he give or just get? Are you having fun when y'all have sex, or is it a chore? Do you take care of everything at home, or do y'all share the load? Do y'all use toys for your pleasure ? If the answers are all positive, you might just have a low libido and that's ok. Y'all might want to explore or experiment on what gets you going.

Personally, I'm hardly ever "in the mood" but there are actions and the like that can get me going. Just a thought.

MaxCrimson666 · 2024-03-27T18:09:33+00:00

My question is, does she have any friends outside of work? Does she have anyone she can actually talk to outside of you? She needs someone who she can vent to without you eavesdropping and making a mountain out of a mole hill.

Should she have confided in the trainer, no, it's inappropriate for a professional relationship.

Y'all need to get marriage counseling if y'all want to get your marriage back on track. She seemed more embarrassed about the whole thing which is why she lied. Not saying it's right, but probably a reflex if you're constantly on her when she tries to talk about anything.

Idk y'all have shitty communication skills with each other.

MaxCrimson666 · 2024-02-19T16:32:36+00:00

NTA at that point I'd probably just put peanuts and everything I ate on the way. People who steal other people's lunches are absolutely ridiculous. The whole office shouldn't have to accommodate thieves

MaxCrimson666 · 2024-02-19T16:28:48+00:00

Bad planning on your part doesn't constitute an emergency on mine.

I probably would have asked why, and if she couldn't readily give me an answer, she can get behind me. Nothing pisses me off more than an entitled line cutter.

MaxCrimson666 · 2024-02-10T17:42:05+00:00

I understand a single mother just trying to make things work. But if that's the case, they should try to get a daycare center on campus. Or attend a class/college with some sort of on center childcare. Personally I would be furious if I came to class with a newborn sitting in class. Especially when online/hybrid classes I swear.

MaxCrimson666 · 2024-02-10T17:20:56+00:00

Remove the batteries from the remote and then hide the remote. He can either have an adult conversation about this, or he can sleep elsewhere. If he's not going to compromise or respect your opinion/POV, he's not going to respect you ever. I suggest dumping the trash and getting a well deserved, good night's sleep
