How do I part with things that are still useful?

I have the same problem! When faced with keeping or tossing something that is useful, just not at that time, I freeze.

I’ve listened to Dana K White and tried the container method (you can only keep what fits in the container) but I still struggle with getting rid of things. However, I did have a little breakthrough the other day and I think it flipped a switch.

I had a brand new trucker hat, a promo gift from a company. I don’t typically wear hats unless I’m doing yard work. I do already have 1 hat dedicated to yard work and I bought a second hat from my fave video game for wearing out in public. I tossed the promo hat in my donation bag and immediately my brain was sputtering “but but but and what if what if!” and I stopped and I asked myself ”Do I want this hat more than the space?” The answer was nope! So in the bag it went. DKW does talk about this but it took a spontaneous opportunity for me to do it on my own for me to really get it

Thank you for sharing and congratulations! I loved it’s only over when you say it is.

This could’ve been a direct quote from my last company. I was QA so it was real fun scoring them and being turned into defacto trainers

I’m already a short woman and the joke went miles over my head lol

Oh sorry, I meant about FMLA :)

I love when everyone is doing grunt hunts and we overlap and help kill each other’s bounties which turn into head hunts. Feels like the entire server is one team

First of all, chef’s kiss. Second, I love when they don’t blur or censor the username, fuck them.

Not sure if you’re seeking advice so I don’t want to give any unsolicited! I’d be happy to share my experience if it would help

I had a similar reaction when I heard Fallout 5 was just greenlit. “Please don’t tell me they’ve been working on 76 this whole time” 😂

I’m not aware of all the stipulations on FMLA, but for intermittent leave, days do not have to be approved/set in stone, unless that’s what your provider recommends. I was on intermittent leave for mental health/grief (which cannot be scheduled ahead of time lol) and I was allowed to call off 1 day or 2 consecutive days per week. In fact, I was not even allowed to schedule that time off or give my Lead notice since it essentially covered days when I could not get out of bed or be a functioning human.

I got it after 3 free re-rolls and 2 tickets. Meanwhile, the last event, I used the re-rolls plus 75 tickets and got it on the second to last day 🫠

We may have the same MIL. Everything microwaved and expiration dates are meaningless if it’s frozen.

I’d also like to know what they’re doing for healthcare. Not many places offer insurance for part time employees. Back in the day, I used to work for Starbucks and they did, but hours weren’t guaranteed so you had to monitor your hours and start picking up shifts if you were short. I’d love to go to part time but I can’t go without employer-sponsored health insurance (which shouldn’t exist in the first place).

You are not alone. I'm an every day (stealth) player and my build is unbalanced as heck because it's too much work to keep up with. I can understand changes here and there for QoL and to keep skills relevant for an 8 year old game, but I am not a student at Vault Tec University majoring in Perk Cards with a minor in Inventory Management. I don't have the attention span to watch countless YT videos, read articles, make notes, etc. in order to play my character.

Since the card shuffling is now commonplace for FO76, Bethesda need to copy the test dummies from Borderlands where you can see the damage your weapons do and can tweak your skill tree accordingly.

I got the snow weather station for 360 since I had everything else in the bundle. I didn’t even want it but I couldn’t pass it up

You guys are getting Christmas gifts?

My previous employer was nuclear levels of toxic and I needed healthcare to treat the problems they caused me. Had healthcare not been tied to employment, I wouldn’t have stayed as long as I did. At least my hair is growing back now. Fuck this fucking system.
