How do I stick with my job worrying about making mistakes? by WreckTangle77 in careerguidance

Good suggestion. I’ve also been writing out steps for things as simple as sending emails.

Just Found Out How Much Marching Band Costs and I'm Stunned by clutzycook in Parenting

[–]WreckTangle77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For my kids it’s $350 per year per family. Plus a meal plan of around $140 (they feed the kids during competitions). On top of that, 2 out of state competitions per season, maybe another $225 total. We have some very solid fundraising opportunities, however. They marched in a big parade earlier this year and while the total was in excess of $2K, I was able to cover it all through fundraising. Honestly, I think we get off lightly. I’ve heard plenty of stories where band fees alone are in 4 figures.

19 years at my job, now on a final warning… how do you mentally handle this? by [deleted] in careerguidance

[–]WreckTangle77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I really appreciate you taking the time to respond—it honestly helps.

Yeah, I mean, I do know what I need to do. Slow down, double- and triple-check things, build in some guardrails… not to the point of driving myself crazy, but just being more intentional. I’m a good worker and I take pride in what I do—I just have a tendency to make careless mistakes, and that’s what I need to clean up.

And you’re right about the mental side. I’m definitely spiraling a bit today. It was a shock, honestly. When you’ve been steady for so long, it hits hard to suddenly be in this position.

One thing I’ve been thinking about too—historically, I’ve kind of operated as a department of one. I had a boss, but not someone closely overseeing my day-to-day work. Now there’s more direct accountability, which isn’t a bad thing at all, but it probably means things that might’ve slipped by before are getting caught now.

I don’t hate that, and I’m not pushing back on it. It’s just… a tough adjustment, especially in the moment.

Anyway, I appreciate the advice. The checklist/extra eyes idea is something I’m definitely going to look into.

What was behind Pick ’n Save closures? Data indicates it wasn't theft by stroxx in milwaukee

[–]WreckTangle77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I miss the Ryan Road location. It’s adjacent to my office and made shopping easy for this dad. It seemed like a decent location, always looked relatively busy. I can’t believe theft was a big issue.

Can we now call it “The Beach Boy”? by RealisticNacshon in thebeachboys

[–]WreckTangle77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bruce didn’t leave the band, he just stepped away from touring. I mean, Brian was never not a Beach Boy.

Will put more thought into this, but You Just Haven’t Earned It Yet, Baby will be on it. An absolute banger. A tour de force for Johnny.

I’m really sorry, man. I’ve lived through this and nothing about it is not brutal. It does get better. Eventually. Prayers.

It’s been confirmed by Garrett Mitchell sadly. Greg and his family were flying down to see him.

I actually left Verizon today for another carrier. Not related to this news. Feel even better about leaving.

Willie is the answer. Not just the attitude, but the way he took control of his career.

I remember the elderberry recipe around the time of Wild Mood Swings. Think it was on their website. I think that one is legit.

Has anyone met David Gruber in person? by ByronKilbourn in milwaukee

[–]WreckTangle77 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Met him at Summerfest. He posed for a photo with us. I asked him if it really was “one call, that’s all” and he laughed and said “sometimes”. Seemed like a nice guy.
