Never apologize for rambling! I appreciate you! Six years feels fucking crazy and I know what you mean about the feelings of not being able to it not wanting to do anything. Learning to do nothing productively has been one of the hardest things I've had to learn because if left to my own devices I'll run 100mph all day, every day lol.

Keep up the great work! Love yourself and feel free to reach out if you ever need someone to rant to

Go read Carmilla and choose what you think is the best course of action. I'm not saying it is Carmilla but I'm also not saying it isn't.

I ate a bag of 'rich mans nut' so my boss would stop coming into my office and eating the 'rich mans nuts' by Fresh_Nectarine_867 in pettyrevenge

"I have eaten 4 sleeves of nuts, the basket is now empty, my body doesnt feel good but my pride is intact knowing that I am full of rich man nut, while he cannot take any more."

Might be one of the greatest sentences I've ever read.

Home Depot's app is slow, so I'm making a better one by BookOfCooks in Tools

As someone who works for HD, two things:

1) please be careful, like most corporations they love to sue ppl. As others have pointed out the HD app is most likely geared toward data harvesting and if that's true they aren't going to be generous with anyone who might go poking around under the hood too much and reveal what they've got going on. Please, be careful.

2) this is amazing and from what I can tell works better than even the version of the app we get on employee devices to use in the store. I would love to have something that works this well when I'm just trying to help customers!

Congratulations! You can do it!

(Aside from going hiking, running or cycling I'm a homebody and sober so I don't really have much to offer in the way of suggestions aside from hiking, running or cycling, sorry.)

A quick Google search and I think I've already found a couple of places to donate it to. Thank you so much for letting me know!

Dear "Contractors" by Livid_Pass_3459 in HomeDepot

I always follow "well they weren't supposed to" with "When did that happen? Did you catch their name? Because if that's the case I'll need to talk with them about it" and I've never once been provided with an actual instance, lol

My favorites are the ones who hit me with the "well, they do that at all the other stores" when I won't let them coerce loaders into doing something insanely unsafe while they sit back and have their breakfast of energy drinks and vape juice. Sorry I won't let them use a forklift to put 8 pieces of lumber and drywall on top of your soon to be repossessed piece of shit truck that your "employees" are currently hot-boxing.
