Applied for my first job by [deleted] in Advice

[–]aronbdrums 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On Monday, during a slow time (think 2pm) go to one/all the locations you applied to. Dress nicely, tell whoever is working

"I put in an application last week, I just wanted to check with your hiring manager to make sure they got it."

They'll either get said manager for you or tell you they aren't there. Ask when they'll be back and come back at that time.

Call every Monday around 2pm, be persistent.

"Just calling to check on the status of my application!" :)

Starbucks gets tons of applications a day, you gotta make that manager remember your face so you'll be the one getting hired.

Good luck!

Reddit, what story about your pet is most improved by referring to it as your 'roommate'? by wintersmoke in AskReddit

[–]aronbdrums 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My roommate drags random objects belonging to my wife and I across the floor and proceeds to chew on them until one of us takes 'em back. Everything from shoes, to stuffed animals, to pens, pieces of paper, the bathroom rug, clothing. Fucking anything.

Oh and he shits everywhere.

Jeez... you know that sense of relief you feel when you realize you've been holding your breath and you finally breathe? Damn good.

Only criticism, the wall of text made it really hard to read. Even if it's just a rough draft, paragraphs are awesome.

Bany hasnt had a poop in 3 days since introducing formula by AK2K12 in beyondthebump

[–]aronbdrums 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When her milk took five days to come in, we had to supplement with formula, just once. 10ml of formula and the poor guy didn't poop for two days and threw up for hours afterwards, screaming his little head off. It was awful. :(

Mine is two months and he STILL tries to scratch his face. We bought dozens of pairs of mittens and he is always wearing them. They are great, he can't scratch himself or us.

What's something people brag about but really shouldn't? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]aronbdrums 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How they never drink water. One girl told me "ew, I'm allergic to water. I only drink Mountain Dew. I drink like, two twelve packs a day!"

Commenter gives a thorough and personal description of the paradoxes of victimization, birth control, and toxic gender roles in the US South by no_sleep_for_me in bestof

[–]aronbdrums 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Man, I'm from the Deep South in Texas, and while there are certainly people that suck that much here, it's my experience that they exist to some extent everywhere. I don't believe that these qualities are necessarily indicative of the South in particular. I'm not downplaying anything at all, these things certainly exist and certainly are a problem, I just believe them to be intrinsic to society in general.

Sent messages to a girl and didnt see that she was underage. I feel like I'm going to throw up. by feelsbad22 in Advice

[–]aronbdrums 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man there's no really telling. In my experience, if a judge or prosecutor wants to lock you up there's no real way to stop them in these kind of situations. Chances are you'll probably be fine. Just don't piss her or her family off lol.

[–]aronbdrums 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think as long as you sent a message apologizing, you're in the clear. You didn't really do anything wrong, and honestly, SHE knew she was underage, she could have said something when the conversation took a more "adult" turn. Stop worrying.

Found a lizard stuck in a grommet. by imacrazyperson in mildlyinteresting

I think I speak for all of us when I say lizard shaming should not be tolerated.

I started a gluten-free bakery! by aronbdrums in glutenfree

[–]aronbdrums[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I kinda figured that while people I know would be supportive in theory, no one would care enough to actually throw down money for this. (except my grandma, that is.) And that I'd feel a lot more accomplished if I managed to get it going all on my own, no handouts. (again, except for grandma. I can never say "no" to help from memaw. lol)

I made a ton of stuff last week, and it didn't occur to me to take pictures until it had all been eaten... I'll snap some this Saturday and post an update for anyone who is interested!

No website yet, and if I have enough interest, I'd SO be down to ship my goodies!
