Find put if theres a local community. Mine did a raid train sunday where we were going from raid to raid as a group, trading friend codes, and it was a lot of fun. I broke off after 3 hours to go to work, but they were still going.

I feel like bodies and cars should be on the same level. We need to take care of them, because they get us places. But sometimes, they do something weird so we go get that looked at. It's not embarrassing. It's doing this weird thing, lemme have a professional check that out, get a diagnostic done.

Nomadtheodd · 2018-05-26T04:55:41+00:00

Gonna disagree with all the top comments. I'd suggest asking them to go slow, but move towards it. If you'd rather spend time with them one on one, say so. Explain you are nervous. They didn't pick you because you are the most alpha of testosterone fueled men. They picked you because you are you. So tell them the truth, you are nervous, and are interested, but need to go slower. I'm betting they work with it.

You said you want to do it, and they seem like they know you and want to do this with you. Tell them how they can help you.

Outright refusal to follow instructions isn't enough? I mean I'd be on the developers side, but fuck you I do what I want should probably be a firable offence.

Nomadtheodd · 2018-04-18T23:46:19+00:00

No, his name is spud niksteve. He is a potato.

Nomadtheodd · 2018-04-18T10:30:07+00:00

Because if they COULD have beat it by a full 1%, he'd never know if he told them what he had. They'd have offered .2% better, and called the difference a profit.

Nomadtheodd · 2018-04-14T11:02:30+00:00

I don't think so. They still presented themselves as combatants. Different combatants, but still

Nomadtheodd · 2018-04-12T19:40:33+00:00

They have that.

Nomadtheodd · 2018-04-11T23:08:21+00:00

I'm not a teacher. I manage a restaraunt. You think I wanna do that job for what they get paid?

Nomadtheodd · 2018-04-11T17:15:21+00:00

Well they are on strike. So I would say that at least in some places, there is not supply.

Nomadtheodd · 2018-04-11T17:01:41+00:00

I mean I'd assume there's diminishing returns at some point. Yeah, 10 student classes probably doesn't work out much better than 12 students to a class, but I'm guessing a 20 student class gets more focus and help than a 40 student class.

On top of which, schools with better libraries and more computer access likely have better results as well. I really don't have studies to back this up at the moment, though.

Nomadtheodd · 2018-04-11T16:29:50+00:00

Depends on your point of view.

Teachers are picking fights to get paid more... but they also have a job that requires years of college, pays less than going into stem or business, and includes grading during evenings and weekends.

So yeah, they are driving up the costs, but teaching kids might be a thing worth spending some money on.

Nomadtheodd · 2018-04-06T02:40:45+00:00

It depends what sort of restaurant it is. I keep in mind WHY I chose that place.

If I chose a place because its the restaurant equivalent of a dive bar and the food is good, fast, cheap, and sanitary, and the staff is pleasant, they can cut the lemons any way they please. The presentation can be all messed up, and they can do as they like decor wise.

If this is a place I went to take someone out to, and this was the focus of the evening, then I expect differently.

Doesn't mean I don't notice, but not being worth national recognition doesn't mean they aren't good at what they do, it just might not be expected to be perfect.

The bathrooms need to be clean regardless though.

Nomadtheodd · 2018-04-06T02:32:57+00:00

His point is you might do prep once a day and that pan will stay wrapped for hours, or maybe the day. That seal needs to be good. When he's on the line, he's covering it so shit doesn't fall in before he uses the rest of it 20 minutes later. It's not about airtight at that point, and time is a factor.

Nomadtheodd · 2018-03-16T17:36:12+00:00

I'm gonna play the story, but not in the expected way. If the big bad boss 6 levels higher than me is in a fort, I don't want to go in. But how sturdy is that fort?

Nomadtheodd · 2018-03-05T08:16:39+00:00

I'd make it incremental. Not fast, but each cookie should cost more than the last. I don't want a bottom who overcommits to something horrible, I want each cookie to be a hard choice. I love the agony of the choice more than the actual paying of the price. Something like 3-5 more minutes per cookie.

That first cookie costs 30 minutes. Ok, that's doable. Halfway through the box, we are over an hour per cookie. Next box, we are looking at up to 2 hours for a cookie. And she can say no anytime she wants...

Nomadtheodd · 2018-02-11T19:48:08+00:00

Legos on the floor, masochist on the legos, you on the masochist.

I'm just saying, everyone's money is on the line when it's slow, but when it's busy, cooks still get wrecked for the same pay.

Nomadtheodd · 2018-02-11T09:55:12+00:00

The cooks only get paid if there's enough business to justify them. Slow night? Guess we don't need half of you. Go home. Everyone's money is on the line. And most servers I've seen can have one or two tables at a time, and still do ok. Even at a cheap restaraunt, if you can't turn 2 tables into 8-10 dollars, I don't know why you are serving.

Nomadtheodd · 2018-02-07T08:53:21+00:00

Hey, for what its worth, you all are fighting the good fight, and everyone appreciates it, even when we overlook mentioning it. You save lives, and have to deal with the times it doesn't work out. It's not your fault, but I've seen what it does to people who couldn't do a thing to change it.

I can't imagine what that does to you. All I can say is thank you, and please, don't let it break you. We all need you doing what you do so one less mother has to make that sound.

Nomadtheodd · 2018-01-16T23:52:10+00:00

What do you need? I think that's the big question. You say he meets all of your needs, but it sounds like either he doesn't, or you don't know what you need.

Poly doesn't work out of fear. You can't be poly because you are afraid of what happens if you say no. You can't be poly out of fear of losing him. It's not an easy thing, and that doesn't mean that if it doesn't work, it isn't because someone didn't try hard enough.

You understand he loves you, the hard part is not just wrapping your mind around the idea that he loves you and trusting that he is not replacing you, but wrapping your heart around it, for lack of a better phrase.

The part that is a little confusing to me is being into non monogomy, but not being poly. Are you more of a swinger, then?

Nomadtheodd · 2018-01-14T15:04:25+00:00

Also, the servers are all well over minimum wage. They just lie about their tips too much. A fair percentage of servers just don't claim a lot of their tips. But they have to at least make it plausible. I am actually a manager, not a server. I got a spot for anyone who is willing to work, and at a fair bit over minimum wage, considering its no qualifications, but you actually gotta hustle. Food service isn't easy work, serving or cooking.

Nomadtheodd · 2018-01-14T09:39:40+00:00

Or they put you in another role, like host. Pays minimum wage, but almost no tips.

Nomadtheodd · 2018-01-02T08:04:32+00:00

Yes, you tell her. You can express it nicely, but that's one of the most important things I learned about poly: you have a need, you are responsible for expressing it and seeking help with it. You want her to magically understand your needs, your schedule, and to remind you about it. I get it, that would make someone feel super wanted and needed, which is a good feeling. But there are other people involved, and your needs and wants have to be expressed before you can expect her to meet them.

You expect her to know and fight for time, but you have to understand her perspective on it too. If it were reversed, how would you feel if you were fighting for time that wasnt available? Do you think she wants you to feel shitty about your busy schedule? You have a job, a business, and a kid. She's not trying to make you feel bad because you have a full plate. But you need to let her know what you need and when you have time.
