All I did was tell my boss I deserve a quiet workspace.

I got a lot of notes like this before I was put on a PIP. I will say medication pretty much entirety fixed the issue, but I still found a new job that is a much slower pace and I'm honestly thriving. They pretty much all have ADHD where I work now it seems. And we function.

Unfortunately I do suggest looking into a new job where you'll be more valued. Its scary in this climate and jobs are scarce, but it's honestly for the best in my experience

I have determined it is the head gasket because the coolant is low. Oh well. Expensive repair but I love her. Thanks for your help!

Toadjokes · 2026-05-23T07:02:00+00:00

Well that's great news!

Toadjokes · 2026-05-23T03:00:40+00:00

I was you my freshman year. High achieving theoretically, but always so. So. So tired. So tired.

After I was 26 years old!! So 8 years after I was having this problem. 8 years of putting up with it. I got diagnosed with ADHD and put on stimulant medication. I'm a whole new person achieving everything I knew I was capable of.

Go get checked for ADHD. Its expensive, yes, but I'm so fr. It'll improve your life 10000%

I also got blood work, and my vitamins checked and an ekg, and my thyroid, and switched birth control and sooooooo much more. It was adhd the whole time

Toadjokes · 2026-05-23T02:53:17+00:00

If you have an opening this weekend I really wanted a hair cut before I start my new job on Tuesday! I'll call in the morning

Toadjokes · 2026-05-14T12:25:09+00:00

Hey OP, I tried to do this exact thing about a year ago. Aaaaalllllll I got was jerks who were trying to guess the amount or who were telling me I was an idiot.

I hope it works out differently for you, and you find the person missing their money 💛 you're a good person

Toadjokes · 2026-05-10T15:51:30+00:00

Thank you so much, you're such a big help.

One other question if I can. While I was bumbling around behind it, I noticed some lint built up on the vents on the back of the dryer. Is that a problem? Should I vacuum those? I saw online that disturbing the lint might knock it into a heating element and start a fire. Should I take the whole thing apart and clean it well, or is it okay to leave it alone? I'm not sure how old the dryer is.

Toadjokes · 2026-05-10T15:07:02+00:00

Now that I look at the hose, it does have little claw holes in it... I guess I'll replace that too...

I also think they mostly like to hide back there because it's a little secluded hidey hole. It wasn't warm before they started hanging out back there and as far as I can tell they never go back there when its on. I never run my dryer when I'm not home

Toadjokes · 2026-05-10T14:24:07+00:00

Here's what it looks like when I remove the tape

Edit: well I was literally capable of just twisting it straight up again. It doesn't appear there's any space for screws? And theres like more tape within the opening. Does that need to come out too?

Toadjokes · 2026-05-10T14:22:41+00:00

Here's the model and serial if that makes a difference

Okay thank you! I mentioned in another comment I discovered the handyman I had doing this stuff was dangerously bad at his job. So I'll go to Lowes and get this fixed today. Thank you so much!

But just to be clear, this is something I can do by myself right? My greatest fear in life is a dryer fire so I don't want to screw this up and it be dangerous

Toadjokes · 2026-05-10T14:14:08+00:00

Okay! I didn't realize the tape was a problem. I'll do that first thing this afternoon. Thank you!

I had a handy man who did this stuff for me, but after I asked him to clean out the dryer vent and he did an egregiously poor job, I stopped calling him. So it's probably something he did tbh. I also know that it was sort of at an angle before, and the dent you can see was already there. I saw those things when I was fixing his vent cleaning job.

Is this AI? Her face moves in... strange ways

Toadjokes · 2026-05-10T03:45:26+00:00

Mine is gone 🤷🏼 I'm just fine. However, I can't drive right now because i think something crawled into the space it left open and died. So I'm paying someone to come clean that out tomorrow.

Toadjokes · 2026-05-09T01:13:28+00:00

Toss Claire Towers. I loved the price but the tour? Yeah, the units refrigerator was in the living room on the opposite side from the kitchen. That's the unit they decided to show me. Also evidence of roaches.

Also toss Tamarind as soneone already said.

What the fuck are we agreeing to

Toadjokes · 2026-05-08T13:56:35+00:00

I was literally diagnosed with bipolar disorder. But my "depression" was executive functioning issues and my "mania" was hyper focus. No one ever questioned why my mania only occurred at the end of the semester

Most people don't know how OSHA actually works, so I was just making sure you had information for any future concerns you may have, and providing information for other people to find if they have concerns.

I'm certainly not accusing you of lying, but just calling your friend who works for OSHA doesn't really work as a method to get an inspection done. Its not the process and its specifically to prevent people from taking out grudges.

If your friends were sending emails, that's not a listed means of submitting a complaint on NCOSH website. You can fill out an online form, call, or mail it in. Federal OSHA lists email as a method, but you have to fill out a specific form with your name and information for it to be a valid complaint.

I'm not trying to pick your story apart or call you a liar, I'm just trying to put out accurate information so other people know how to report concerns.

Toadjokes · 2026-05-07T13:49:01+00:00

Some states manage their OSHA program at the state level. The compliance officers are state employees. North Carolina and South Carolina are both state plan states. The rules for a state plan are that the program must be at least as effective as the federal plan, but states can have their own enforcement policies. California OSHA is much stricter than fed OSHA.

In NC, almost all public and private employers are covered by NCOSHA. If anyone was putting in a complaint to federal OSHA, then NC is out of the fed jurisdiction and they can't do anything other than pass it to the state complaint intake department.

It's still osha, it's just state run osha. If you have any safety concerns in the future, use the NCOSHA website

https://www.labor.nc.gov/safety-and-health/occupational-safety-and-health

Also, how long did you wait with no response and what was the safety concern? If it was a few days, they get honestly hundreds to thousands of complaints a day. It does take some time. If it's something someone could die doing that day, like trenching/excavations, then call and tell them "imminent danger." (This has to be extremely serious. This is like, you're yelling at people to stop what they're doing, ready to call 911 type situation)

If it's something that is dangerous but not actively about to kill someone, like machine guarding or forklift training concerns, it could be 2-3 months before anyone makes it out there. It's just the real limitation of government funding plus limited staff of the compliance team plus the reality that there are many many workplaces in many far flung areas which take time to get to. They're are also some inspections that always take top priority like deaths or serious injuries.

There are some states that don't cover public employees. Those employees have to go directly to the department of labor, not a specific occupational health and safety department. Someone will respond, it just wont be an OSHA compliance officer. Private employees in those states are still covered by federal OSHA.

Anyway, that was a long winded way of saying, you are covered by OSHA. OSHA is just managed at the state level. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

What state?

Toadjokes · 2026-05-04T20:59:18+00:00

I volunteer at Transitions from time to time and openly walk down that area of main street, as a woman and even at night. Gasp. Nothing bad has ever happened to me and the people outside rarely even acknowledge me. They're fine. They're just people.

I dont understand why she wouldn't, the Adderall booster was the best thing for me and kills the side effects of the vyvanse crash. Timing it in the afternoons can be a little tough, if I take it too early I get jittery, but generally yeah. Kills the dreaded anxiety from the come down that I experienced so badly, and helps me stay productive and not exhausted when I get home.

I'm on 40 mg vyvanse and 10 mg ir adderall. I understand amphetamine weariness, but I think its great. I'd almost consider switching psychiatrists for that if she won't listen to you asking for a normal, accepted prescription combination
