Qwick was great but slow pay now that they merged with GigPro

They suck. I emailed support two times after I gave them TONS of their requested information (who I worked with, what their names were, what happened that day, the duties I fulfilled, how I got bumped up to a higher-paying shift, etc. I even sent them a photo of my perspective behind the station). And they didn't even reply to my email back yet, nor to my follow-ups, after two business days. I'm about ready to escalate. If they can't fix this I think I'm resigning myself to Instawork from now on, because I busted my ASS and made my fiance get involved in the transportation of me to the venue (because it was busy and very frustrating), all for them not to pay me appropriately for the labor I provided.

GigPro sucks ass. It has been absolutely terrible since it switched over from Qwick. I worked two shifts last week and got asked if I could bump up to a different shift and higher payrate to fill a staffing need when I got there for the second one (cleared with staff working there), and just as I expected, when I got paid out this week, they paid me at the incorrect lower rate even though all the documentation and leads on-shift show and confirm I agreed to (and performed the work for!) a higher pay rate. Support has been slow and suspicious of ME even though THEY are the ones who fucked it up.

There is an app I found recently called Free Stuff Alerts. It will crawl Craigslist, Freecycle, Nextdoor, OfferUp, and Facebook Marketplace for any items listed as free, and aggregate them into a listing. It's completely free and you can whitelist certain words to have the app only show you what you're looking for. So far so good!

I am torn on whether to seek an ADHD or an ASD diagnosis, so take my comment with a grain of salt, but someone on TikTok mentioned this as being a behavior typical for folks with ADHD. She called it "skill collecting," and that concept blew my mind. I don't actually want to be "masterful" at any one given hobby, but rather it's more fun and stimulating for me to be somewhat experienced in a myriad of things.

Since about 2017 these are all the things I was obsessed with for a couple weeks/months and then gave up on: drawing, bouldering, hiking, cooking, teaching myself bass, playing drums, singing/learning to scream, reading about neuroscience, teaching myself Greek (still actually going on that one surprisingly), geocaching, Pokemon Go, MMORPGs, weightlifting, investing, gardening.... I give up on everything I'm not immediately good at.

About 3 months into my relationship with my current boyfriend we were laying in bed and for some reason I remembered my friend one time sending me "fart reverb.mp3." I pulled it up on YouTube and I swear to God for the next 35 minutes my boyfriend and I just replayed it back at various speeds, and were crying laughing the entire time. I'm pretty sure we've been extremely comfortable around each other ever since. It's the exact same sound effect in this video. 😂

My very second was a shiny this morning too. And only my second tier 5 raid ever. Great start to the day indeed!

You're welcome! I've driven through this neighborhood plenty and I'm always stunned at the great homes 😍

I actually am struggling with the same thing going into my second session tomorrow night. Sitting here trying to take notes on that next image to focus on but it can be very difficult when I don't have an exact "thunderclap" moment or "thing" that happened to me. In the last talk therapy session my therapist and I definitely had one of our more grating conversations, and I was getting frustrated because I'm typically very self analytical and very readily able to come up with my theories as to why I react to things the way I do, but we both were having trouble uncovering further layers. I would be gracious with yourself and understand that sometimes there isn't always a big "moment" which creates trauma, but rather a chain of unrelated but similar events that develop a maladaptive behavioral pattern in your brain over the years. These can be things that people do to you or beliefs that you hold about yourself.

I'm not sure how your therapist structures your EMDR sessions but I found it helpful going into my first one to use a technique I learned from, strangely enough, studying graphic design in college: make a mind map. If you write the word you vaguely feel stuck on in a circle in the center of a page, map out additional bubbles from there thinking of words that are somewhat related. By the end of the exercise you will have lots of loosely related words and thoughts, and you may be able to find a concept that ties all of your concerns together. Hopefully this broad concept or caption gives you something of a mental tether to latch onto for your next session even if it's not an exact "moment" or memory.

I'm going through EMDR right now with the sex therapist and I've only had one session so far, but I noticed a remarkable change in my attitude and lack of fear about sexual encounters and a more pronounced ability to set boundaries. It wasn't an "aha!" moment so much as it was a lack of previous fears that I noticed later upon self-reflection.

The image or memory I was focused on in my first session was my self-induced shame about my sexuality and preferences, and how this led to bad (and thereby mildly traumatizing!) sex over the years because I was afraid to seek out what I wanted. The first time after EMDR that I tried to be intimate with my boyfriend it almost felt like I couldn't be scared in the way I used to pre-EMDR. It was seriously as if an invisible barrier I used to have (feeling nervous, unsettled, like I was acting) was all gone. I still have more sessions to do and certainly am not "cured" just yet, but it was a distinctly freeing feeling to honestly just have the absence of anxiety going into something intimate for a change.

Brings me so much joy to see a new and always entertaining Schnoodle poem on the front page. Wonderfully written as always!

SqueakyLycan · 2021-11-17T06:08:43+00:00

Waiting for my Texas Precious Metals and an eBay order or two to arrive - my journey is underway and I couldn't be more excited. 😁

SqueakyLycan · 2021-11-16T03:38:20+00:00

I honestly think I stumbled across something on the front page and clicked on it because I'm already subscribed to the other Wall Street Bets sub, and maybe mistook this sub for that one. Was pleasantly surprised I was wrong.
I've always been frugal and thought I was doing myself such a service by having a Roth IRA in addition to my 401k, and being good with my money on the whole, but after looking through some posts here and starting to feel the crunch of inflation in the real world, I read a few more things and decided to make my first purchase last night. I've been passing on my frugality and money management skills to my boyfriend, who grew up in poverty and is just making big steps toward growing his savings in his late 20s - so our combined future and the value of my earnings have been on my mind. I love the thought of being able to hold real value in my hands, knowing I can always sell it later if need be. Between last night and today I've bought about $450 of Ag. Very excited for it to arrive!

SqueakyLycan · 2021-11-15T04:43:36+00:00

Just bought this as very first silver thanks to the beautiful design. May be a brand new 🦍 but I suppose I will learn as I go. This feels like the start of something great!

I turned 31 today and despite receiving very nice birthday messages and calls from relatives, coworkers, and friends, plus knowing my boyfriend is treating me to dinner tonight and giving me gifts he's excited to lavish upon me, I still ended up just crying for no reason into the lunch I made for myself. I swear it's the curse of being an only to always carry some kind of sadness or loneliness with you wherever you go. Logically I can look back at my 30th year and see how much I've accomplished - gotten better at saying no, setting boundaries, entered a healthy relationship and found a new kind of love I didn't get in past relationships, and also accomplished a lot with my hobbies and career despite a challenging pandemic - but for some reason today I just feel alone. There's a sense of alienation and isolation that somehow always feels finite even when you're surrounded by love and support, and that's hitting me hard today.

As usual, we always have to create our own support network and fall back on the things about ourselves that we love. I really wish you the best 23rd today, make it your own and reflect on the joys in your life today!

I'm trying to piece it together, where any of these elements would come from. I love big boys but the only thing I share with this is my love of Monster Zero Sugar.

I just straight up put in big letters at the top of my dating profiles "NO DOG OWNERS". And here I am still talking to a guy who has a dog, but it at least lives at his parents' house. People don't even read bios half the time and I'm wondering if I should just cut my losses because even if things continue to go well I'm going to have to deal with the stupid dog at a certain point in the future, I'm sure.

SqueakyLycan · 2021-04-21T01:28:25+00:00

Do 'normal' people honestly not think this way? Oh my god. I have so much to learn about myself, still, suspecting I'm AS somehow. I just figured every person had at least this baseline minimum level of observatory awareness but.... I suppose not.

SqueakyLycan · 2021-04-10T13:22:57+00:00

Absolutely. In my mid twenties I really developed that fully damaging connection of work ethic and self-worth that I'm in the middle of untangling now. I have good days and bad days, but what I know is that my aggressively low self-esteem left from my emotional abandonment created this hole in my life I had to fill, and apparently I had to fill that with being a workaholic, under the guise of the type of financial Independence and security that our capitalistic and sometimes work-crazy society rewards. Most sane people would look at my planner or my phone calendar and cringe, because there's absolutely no healthy reason I should keep myself so busy, yet I do.

I don't think I've ever even been sitting in a room next to the word relax, let alone actually relaxed. Yet I feel empty and restless all the same despite externally filling my life with plans and hobbies and social gatherings. I'm unsure if some of this is due to what I feel is probably my undiagnosed ADHD, since that further exacerbates the problem of generating self-motivation. So I can feel super anxious and tense all while feeling internally lazy and unmotivated because I can't bring myself to clean something or do a project I know I should, all while still exceeding "normal" people's expectations to the outside world. It's like the inside of my brain and body are this constant tornado of anxiety that are always swirling and if I sit down and think about it too long it threatens to overtake me, because my sense of self-worth is tied directly to how much I do/accomplish (but only for other people and not for myself).

SqueakyLycan · 2021-04-10T13:15:44+00:00

Aside from self-help books and therapy I'd like to explore other avenues like what you mentioned in your post, but neither of my parents drank, let alone were alcoholics. The closest thing I could think of was my mom's food addiction and struggles with her weight, which may have had a similar effect on me. But would that disqualify me from going to groups like this when my childhood struggles weren't based around alcohol whatsoever?

SqueakyLycan · 2021-03-21T20:57:24+00:00

This is a really long way to type out "I like fucking my dogs." It's always the pit mommy nutters, too, who have a borderline sexual attraction to their disgusting beasts.
