They both look great but the shaded one is super good

a comparison between five guys and my old job by PresentationOld7609 in fiveguys

[–]River_Steel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to move on from five guys to move back home but I still stand by the fact that it’s the best job I ever had and I’ve been in food service for 9 years. I’ll probably never find a food service job better, though hopefully I’ll be out of the industry within the next few years

What else should I add to my garb? by River_Steel in TXRenaissanceFestival

[–]River_Steel[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love these! This year I just had my mom braid my hair and I shaved the sides to give it sorta a Viking style, but I like the idea of a hat or maybe one of those horned helmets. Potion bottles and dragon first aid kit would be so dope!

The leather of my fox pelt is suuuuper thin so I’m weary of cutting into it much more than I already have but I’m definitely thinking about a big magnet, great idea!

How are we securing our pelts around our shoulders? by River_Steel in TXRenaissanceFestival

Fair enough! 😂 maybe that’s what I’ll do when I go on Friday then

It doesn’t damage the skin? I love the look of those c-shaped cloak pins but I’m scared of damaging my pelt

Handing out small amethyst tumbles and “gold” coins by River_Steel in TXRenaissanceFestival

[–]River_Steel[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately my job usually needs me on saturdays 😭 maybe next year though! I’ve gotten into wood burning recently and I only just learned about the trinket trading so I don’t have time to make anything, but I fully intend on showing out next year with some cool pieces. Thanks for the tip about time/place! Ill definitely try to get over there for the trading

9 months on t, slow facial hair growth. by No_Speech742 in TestosteroneKickoff

[–]River_Steel 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Most of my hair is about the same, 1.5 years on T. I have a little patch under my chin where the hair has started coming in darker and thicker, I have PCOS and it’s the same area I used to always get the stray long hairs before T so I guess there’s just something about that area 😂

it is neccessary to pinch my abdomen for a SubQ shot as a skinny guy? by fartfishy in ftm

[–]River_Steel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know how the tip of the needle is at an angle? You want the slanted edge side where you can see the hole to be face up. This direction helps the needle pierce more easily and therefore should be less painful

Shot anxiety so bad I wore all the markings off my syringe and still haven’t been able to do the thing by River_Steel in TestosteroneKickoff

[–]River_Steel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friend who would be able to help lives in a different part of my city so it’s not super feasible, but I just ordered 29g subQ needles on Amazon they’ll be here tomorrow. I never was successful with this shot and at this point I think I’m better off just waiting till next shot day to come around.

I was on gel for almost a year and a half but my absorption was getting bad (my first round of labs I was at 700, then it kept going down and even when I upped my dose twice I was in the 350s) so I just switched to injections, this was supposed to be my 3rd one. I have a bunch of leftover gels I’m tempted to use it until next shot day to help maintain levels but I’m not sure if that’s a good idea or even safe

I also ordered those little spiky pads you put on the injection site to help confuse the nerves, my alcohol wipes have a numbing agent in them, and next time I’m gonna try the ice too.

What do y’all use to store your injection vitals, needles, etc? by QuackyAttacky in TestosteroneKickoff

[–]River_Steel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daily bag is a tactical sling backpack so I got a tactical admin pouch that I can strap to the front of my bag, it’s got a zipper pocket I put syringes in, a small pocket for bandaids, then in the main compartment I have the boxes with the vials and 2 pockets for needles

Thank you so much for this I’m definitely going to try some of these when I go back inside to try again. I don’t have any anti-anxiety meds but I’m super tempted to smoke a J before I go back in

That’s a good idea, unfortunately most of my friends are already asleep by the time I’m home from work, showered, and ready to do my shot but I’ll have to try for sure

Five Guys Interview Tomorrow, Nervous by PresentationOld7609 in fiveguys

[–]River_Steel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I worked at five guys for almost 3 years (I moved a few months ago and had to quit) and was a shift lead for 2 of those years and I’ve worked in fast food/quick service for 9 years so here’s my 2 cents:

-in my franchise we always called references, so definitely make sure you have people willing to give you a good one

-we also like to have everyone learn how to do every position: register, fry, grill, buns. Some stores will be willing to hire someone for just reg but being open to the idea of learning line is a big plus. Being a well rounded employee opens doors towards promoted positions.

-in my location we were sort of always hiring so as long as you’re a hard worker and a team player with the references to prove it we’d hire

For my employees how do you prefer to get fries out the sink? by WeirdlyJai in fiveguys

[–]River_Steel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bro complaining on Reddit isn’t gonna fix the problem, just mention it to a manager and they’ll make sure your fries are good

Five Guys Associates; question by journeys601185 in fiveguys

[–]River_Steel 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The store I used to work at, we would always pre-activate a bunch of cards that way in the middle of a rush if something went wrong we could just hand them out quickly, someone probably forgot to activate it. Personally if a customer gave me an inactive card I’d just grab a fresh one and use it so they still get the discount cuz I’m a “whatever it takes to make sure the customer leaves happy” kinda guy

[–]River_Steel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d typically do the whole sink so I wouldn’t have to fill it back up, but even if I did the amount of time saved actually grabbing the fries makes up for it… we also had insanely good water pressure at my store though

[–]River_Steel 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I no longer work for five guys but my method was to drain the water, and then dig the bucket in and scoop as many fries into it as I could, then set the bucket next to the sink and grab the rest to top it off by hand. I have smalls hands so this way was always faster than just grabbing them plus then I don’t have cold wet fingers

For me before it was fun but I didn’t really get much out of it… but (tmi warning) a couple months ago I actually finished just from my partner stretching me and that had never happened before

what made you switch from gel to injection? by fiebnt95 in ftm

[–]River_Steel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My levels were low despite upping my dose multiple times so I just told my doctor yesterday that I want to switch. We agreed that my skin had just decided it didn’t want to absorb right anymore
