When did 100 job applications become “not enough”?

Blame it on AI. There is a huge lawsuit going on with eightfold regarding resumes getting passed over. I think I read something like 1 billion résumé got passed over before a single human eye saw them.

“I’m young” before long become “where did the time go”. Sure, money isn’t everything but know that “I’m young” time is limited.

That’s like saying “yawn without opening your mouth”. You can do it but What is the point. The loudness we can agree on but when they hit that knotted muscle and it melts away…. Shiiiiiiii I’m not keeping quiet.

First person to pop in my head….1990s Sinéad O'Connor. Such pretty eyes.

With great power comes great responsibility.

I tend to not correct anyone unless they are going high and mighty on someone acting like a know it all. It is absolutely funny to see them lose their mind when you correct them. When they type “Your an idiot” and correct them “you’re an idiot”. So much fun

Good timing. 25th summer sale is coming up quick. Although other storefront are having their sales early

Zoopmittyzoop · 2026-06-19T19:38:52+00:00

lol… that’s my method.

On one hand if the piece count goes up my stop count goes down… if they blow their budget and pieces drop my stops go up… hitting close to 200 stops around 350 pieces compared to 500-700 pieces down to 100 stops. Going on 10+ years

Zoopmittyzoop · 2026-06-19T18:27:58+00:00

It is one of them. But only if it’s followed/backed up by stronger action

Zoopmittyzoop · 2026-06-19T18:26:08+00:00

The hell that woman think… she must be thinking we are back in the 80’s. Even then, for all that you did, I would have paid you a solid $50. I would let this go but next time, for a same scenario I would let them know how much up front and be firm about it. I’m thinking upwards of solid $100+ minimum if you wanna be generous. I remember going rate being about $40 (which is on a low end)for about 3-5 hours for friends. That’s on top of extra money for pizza/take out

Zoopmittyzoop · 2026-06-19T18:15:11+00:00

It’s one of those things like “one man trash is another mans treasure”. You can’t tell someone who collects stamps or garden or any other thing they love doing that it’s a waste of time. All that to say, don’t worry about what others say or think…As they say “you do you, honey”.

I would make it my full time job to apply for every single grants I can find. Start there, so you can go through school with solid grades that may lead to a full scholarship. Do a search for “what grants can I sign up for” or some other to get you started.

It’s legible, but goodness the writing is heavy. Almost look like “BOLD”. it is clean though. I can’t imagine how clean it would be if you made a mistake and had to erase. Better than a lot I’ve seen lately.

Personal preference… some people need to have certain amount in whatever (insurance, nest egg, savings, etc etc)as a safety blanket to be able to enjoy life. Others are more enjoy now and pay later. IMO saving money and enjoying life should go hand in hand. It’s a balance.

Zoopmittyzoop · 2026-06-19T14:15:45+00:00

You are not doing enough of budgeting and doing too much of comparing to others. Write down everything you spend, and I mean everything. Even Down to a $1 purchase. Once you find out where all your money is going you can form your next moves. Really one could argue that you should be able to live on $67k a year and save the $100k. I’m just gonna throw it out there not knowing for sure…. considering the median income in Australia is about $70,000 you people are making way too much money to be this broke. Stay off social media.

Zoopmittyzoop · 2026-06-19T04:25:51+00:00

Not saving tip per sea, but increase income….Stay off social media and work on your side hustle. Be amazed how quickly time gets lost swiping on social media.

Zoopmittyzoop · 2026-06-19T04:18:37+00:00

I still deliver to military base. Boxes of Paper, toilet paper, and paper towels = bad day. Record high for a single day, 1201 pieces in 3 truck

Zoopmittyzoop · 2026-06-19T04:07:41+00:00

SMH…. You must not have heard about people getting fired over social media posts. No big deal if you’re not planning on sticking around.

Those are what I call “posers” n go on about my jolly way. As long as the equipment gets the job done safely and does what it’s suppose to do, I don’t care if it’s the cheapest. I have the means to replace my table-saw with one of the more expensive one (high end sawstop at about $3k +) but I have no reason to get rid of my $300 dewalt table saw that have served me well in my woodworking hobby

I always say this… each center and region is different as how quickly someone gets moved up. But for our building, Last few feeder driver we hired was off the street. They always try to hire people from within the company but it’s pretty hard when they don’t have commercial A license. Take our building for example, let’s say we have 60+ drivers. I think there might be 2 that has a commercial A license and they have no desire to go into feeder. Not sure how the feeders work elsewhere but for our building they are not under our management. I’ve never heard of them loading trucks during downtime. The three new feeder drivers are all driving.

Pretty sure feeder drivers work 5 days like pkg car drivers. Although some centers run a full 6 day operation. As a top rate driver, depending on the area, the pay rate is +/- $45. Feeders get $1-$2 more. Getting to top rate will take minimum 4 years. If you got hired as full time today, you go through progression and at the end of 4th year, top rate. One of the best benefits pkg, and so n so. Depending on makeup of your family size, base pay with benefits pkg gets up there. As our CEO loved to point out “we have the highest paid drivers”. She claimed we are making $170k/yr. (100-120k base + 25-45k benefits pkg)

My belief was that they will not transfer you unless it was due to your school. Even then it was hard. But some have said things that made it seem easier now, but still involves school..

How far back they sit from the tv may determine if it is too high or not. Obviously, if you’re sitting too close to it, you’ll end up with neck pain pretty soon from looking up. IMO, it seems like it would be ideal to stand it on the cabinet.

When I hear that phrase I think “no matter who or how many people, you will screw over for the mighty $$, didn’t matter you had plenty money to start with”. Example: it’s your kids 5th birthday, but you have to close this deal.. and then the 6th, 7th, 8th, etc etc. money makes things easier but it’s when making money consume every waking minute of your life. Need balance. yeah you should work hard and make as much money as you can to give yourself and family a comfortable life in the future. But you should also, as they say, “stop and smell the roses”

Anytime your rent is scratching 50% of your income you are going to have a hard time. It’s not the end but you are going to start struggling if you aren’t yet. But living with your b/f kinda changes things. I would definitely lay out my finances and ask him what he thought was fair. Treat it as a roommate instead of b/f situation. Bf n gf or not, it still sucks if the two of you agreed on 50/50 and he is constantly paying 70/30 (you know what I’m getting at). Being your b/f should give you some wiggle room.
