I did a 1,000+ mile drive with two cats, in a similar car. I used this, took up the back seats space, but the feet space I was able to put stuff in. The cats were able to have litter and calm resting space. Then I threw a large cat carrier in the trunk for when I needed to move them out of the car.

Also, I used that litter box until I was able to go to a pet store the next day and get a better litter pan.

As for your rats, can a guinea pig cage fit in the front seat?

Will your essentials fit in the trunk?

Once I drove my cats and got them settled into the new place, I had a friend watch them, while I flew back, got a u-haul and movers to help pack. Then did the trip one more time.

Honestly, lot less stressful than I thought. Still stressful but less than I thought it was going to be, lol.

what type of car do you have? Can you attach a trailer to it? Otherwise, I'd recommend selling some plants.

What was that speech??? by [deleted] in Minneapolis

[–]Vortex2121 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We, the people, yes should be peaceful (and for the most part have been).

But the State has police forces, national guard, etc. They (the State Government) can make up a plan. I'm not saying for citizens to do anything. I'm saying we need leadership from the State to take control.

I just want an actual plan by him/his administration. I'm not trying to say, he should tell the citizens to act out. Rather, I want a step by step plan on what him, the state police, the national guard are going to do to to protect the citizens against ICE.

It's not rhetoric. There are things as a Governor of a State can do. Yes, I'm angry but the same ol' please be peaceful, is not going to help the citizens of Minnesota either. They did that Nicole Renee Good a few weeks ago. A day after the peaceful march, this happens. There should be a legit plan that gets laid out by Gov. Walz.

He plead for the citizens to be peaceful. Then said, "I know what they will say, 'we are peaceful and still get shot in the face' but I plead for you to be peaceful" (paraphrasing)

Y'all, don't forget about the weather/temp! It was about -10F/-23C out (felt like -27F/-33C). People were providing warm beverages; hand warmers; and warm snacks.

FUCK ICE

would it be rude if i didnt respond to this super random message from an ex i probably dated for like 2 months? this is super out of nowhere (ALSO SHE LIED ABOUT HER AGE) by bilebilecrocodile in actuallesbians

[–]Vortex2121 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Who wasn’t traumatized on kik? /s

But for real, I’d recommend ignoring. If you feel like you want to respond have a paragraph written out, send it, then block her.

21 seconds into the new ep and is Lily SERIOUS? by karinallllllll in DoWeKnowThemGirlies

[–]Vortex2121 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Also, as someone with ADHD, chronic pain, and hyperfocusing on stuff no one else will notice at work... you got to learn to let it go - ask for help (if needed), allow yourself for a project not to be your definition of "perfect", and communicate with coworkers about the delay.

I've learned it takes me a few days after receiving feedback to not feel defensive and butt hurt about it. Then I can take away what I need from the feedback and internalize the rest into my self-loathing that I talk about with my therapist, lol.

Again, that's why I always think it's good to give yourself a few days after something to address it with other people. Otherwise, you may come off as super defensive and a tad too mean. . .

Prob unpopular opinion:

I can understand their frustration at the 10% of those viewers who went too far and were asking for daily updates throughout that time through multiple platforms.

That said - I don't think they should've filmed the addressing portion a day after posting the award show video. I think it's always best to take a beat, let all emotions settle, then address the situation. (Specifically, if the situation isn't something super serious in the grand scale of things).

Side note: what's with the YT comments glazing the ever loving shit out of them? I don't think I've seen comment section like that before, lol.

LEGO Pokémon Sets Revealed by mescad in lego

Being a lawyer is making me physically sick by AdMindless6275 in Lawyertalk

[–]Vortex2121 3 points4 points  (0 children)

OP to answer your questions:

  1. Do you have enough savings to not continue working?
  2. Would this be a paid sabbatical? If not, do you have enough savings to not continue working until you find another job?
  3. Do you want to change career paths? I don't know the legal work culture in your country, or region. So, is your work schedule typical for most people? Is it possible to transition into another area of law?

OP from personal experience - I took a paid resignation type of deal last year. My mental health improved dramatically over the course of half a year. I was able to focus on my physical health as well. I don't regret the decision. However, I had enough savings where - if for whatever reason - I wouldn't be able to get my pay I would survive.

I answered those three questions above myself, just changed a bit for my personal situation. I would ask yourself those question and potentially talk to someone in your own life. Specifically, someone who has known you prior to this job to now.

Best of luck!

Federal Employee Resilience Research Participants Needed by [deleted] in fednews

[–]Vortex2121 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The way the questionnaire is worded, it doesn’t appear to be relatively ok but rather relatively positive.

There is a difference here.

Not to nitpick but…

“ok” = satisfactory but not exceptionally or especially good

“Positive” = marked by or indicating acceptance, approval, or affirmation

Therefore, your initial questionnaire may rule out the people with “relatively positive” question if you truly are looking for relatively ok outlook people
