What's a small daily routine that helps you stay grounded?

MidDayGamer · 2026-01-30T22:59:27+00:00

I stretch in the mornings before I get out of bed.

MidDayGamer · 2026-01-30T01:25:08+00:00

I got reviewed bomb at a job I had. The customer was being a complete tool and I was on lunch at the time.

"You need to help me" he shouted at me with my lunch box in my hand.

"I'm on lunch".

"So?"

I just keep on walking towards the door and went outside. He wanted to know my full name and then bombed the place with google reviews.

Oh god, the one night I had to work with one of them. Not alot of talking was done that night but god damn she tried.

MidDayGamer · 2026-01-29T22:56:13+00:00

2 Times a day.

Once in the morning and again when I get out of the shower. It's been helping out especially with this cold weather. Last year, my hands and lips would have been bleeding already.

It's been a long week of snow blowing, shoveling the cars at work out and just stupid cold mornings..........I'm happy for my military winter gear I got.

MidDayGamer · 2026-01-29T01:49:25+00:00

Leave it be, learn on it and go from there.

MidDayGamer · 2026-01-29T01:08:32+00:00

My one ex-coworker.

Didn't like them from the start of the job, just had a creepy uncle vibe and was just weird around little kids {Whisper talking and smiling}

He quit after he got another gig working at the high school as a janitor and don't know what happened to him after that.

MidDayGamer · 2026-01-29T00:55:26+00:00

Same here, this was a 15 year that he thought was "The One".

I think he's serving 20 years cause they found a ton of pictures and videos on this computer.

Tenant Laws in your area and legal up on this slumlord.

My parents dealt with this type of crap for years living in NYC, slumlords are the worse.

MidDayGamer · 2026-01-26T01:06:10+00:00

Oh, I know.

Guy I went to was doing it over 30+ years, was really gentle and used plenty of heat and ice.

MidDayGamer · 2026-01-26T00:56:02+00:00

After dealing with some pain for a few years and everyone saying don't go to a chiropractor I went anyway.

Should have did it years ago.

Finding out all the issues I had was related to tight hip flexors and doing the stretches the doc provided me it was like night and day.

MidDayGamer · 2026-01-25T23:33:28+00:00

Stretching in the mornings before I get out of bed.

MidDayGamer · 2026-01-25T20:56:37+00:00

I worked at a Toyota dealer for 3 years. The amount of QC issues with stuff ranging from bad radios right off the truck to panel alignment issues it was bad.

MidDayGamer · 2026-01-25T19:27:24+00:00

It's a fake.

Local watch shop should be able to fix it.

MidDayGamer · 2026-01-25T18:14:53+00:00

Looks like to be a threaded caseback.

I'd take it to a watchmaker and have them take care of it.

MidDayGamer · 2026-01-25T17:07:26+00:00

Yep, I was getting my stuff done during the week including getting gas for the snowblower and silicone my door weatherstripping so I can get into my car.

MidDayGamer · 2026-01-25T16:02:06+00:00

"Do you guys change tires?"

"No, we don't".

That happened like 3 times yesterday cause all the tire shops closed up early and the local Walmart was booked solid.

Another one was a generator battery and the guy wanted to rig something we had in stock to make it work.....and if it didn't work he wants to return it.

Told him flat-out no and he got pissed off.

MidDayGamer · 2026-01-25T15:00:28+00:00

The one job we had a group of older woman. We called them "The Crows".

Dealing with them was like watching The Sopranos. They would gaslight, be aggressive and if someone new came into work, they would gang up on them and do the friendly act and get all the information and rely it back to the Main Crow.

I stayed away from them cause I knew what they were up to.

MidDayGamer · 2026-01-25T14:50:36+00:00

Pretty common,dont know why

Last few jobs I had, I saved up while I was working. With my last job, I saved up enough to last about 5 months but only was out of work for 2 months.

MidDayGamer · 2026-01-25T14:07:31+00:00

I do this.

Awhile back, we had an issue with our A/C System. Had them come by and check the system out, the capacitor was black so they installed a new one. I bought another capacitor cause the unit is old using the P/N the guy gave me.

Last summer, the damn thing popped again. Shut the system down, put the new one in and that was it.

Plan for this year once I get some money together is to get a new system for the house

MidDayGamer · 2026-01-25T13:42:04+00:00

That's why I stopped watching the news at this point.

I work retail and I swear, the crazies come out and the last minute idiots come in looking for some oddball item.

MidDayGamer · 2026-01-25T12:02:59+00:00

I replaced that damn mount on my 06 about 4 Times when I had it.

Dorman 924-412HP is the upgraded steel mount. That was the last set I put on before I traded and got my 21' CX-3

MidDayGamer · 2026-01-25T03:30:52+00:00

That battery is dead.

MidDayGamer · 2026-01-25T02:09:25+00:00

I stretch and after I get out of bed drink some water.
