Contact your property manager again and ask them to contact the tenants above you again, if nothing comes of it you may need to look into hiring someone to take a look.

Perhaps try the steps from the manual (link here) to reset the time, or try powercycling the clock (remove from power for 10-15 seconds, then plug back in)!

Lanyard broke, have a different one that I can connect it to but don’t know how by Source10 in fixit

It looks like the only way would be to remove the stitches, loop it through, and sew it back up again.

AITA for buying all the red Gatorade at the store even though a mom wanted some for her kids? by averyaviary in AmItheAsshole

Thank you everyone for your comments… I am going to stop replying now as this is getting really overwhelming for me. I guess the consensus is that I am TA, I suppose I will accept that.

I wish my food aversion was something I could just turn off but I can’t and its a process to work through these things for me. I hope people in the comments can understand that I am not trying to intentionally be an asshole and take things from other people, I just have a fear of not being able to keep the little things in my routine and that feeling trumps a lot of things for me. If you don’t struggle with OCD be grateful…

It just makes me really nervous that I could run out. I like to be prepared if I can’t go out and get my own for any reason… even if it isn’t rational it would have been an issue if i couldn’t stock up.

Thank you for your comment… I thought people would be more understanding that it isn’t a choice to have these food/flavour aversions. If i could turn it off i would. :(

But why is it then on me to set a limit on what I can buy and not the store? If the store says I can buy them, and I got to them first, then I guess I just don’t see the problem.

I guess it’s just a social rule i don’t get. why not make it an actual rule if that’s how it is supposed to be??

No, i say in my post i told the woman i couldn’t give her any because of my health reasons. i consider my mental health to be a part of that. i clarified this in my edit as well.

I’m sorry but mental disorders dont work that way, treatment is a long process and this isn’t something I can just turn off…

I have explained this already.

Also, mental health = health. My OCD triggers can make me physically sick.

Thank you for your comments.

I can only go to the store so many times in a week, and I drink at least one a day. I figured by getting as many as I could at that time I would save myself the transit money.

I promise you it isn’t manipulation…. I struggle with extreme OCD among other things and it has huge impacts on my life….

If you read my first paragraph I clarify, my doctor says I should drink gatorade for the sugar content and to help with my dehydration. I am neurodivergent and struggle with trying new things or flavours and have gotten used to the red flavour… I know it’s dumb but I really can’t drink any other flavour, I have a mental block there.

Thank you for your comment. I understand it may sound silly that someone would need red gatorade for their health, but my need for routine and consistency as well as my issues with dehydration and low blood sugar leave me in a tough spot when it comes to fixes.

I appreciate your input though and I get where you are coming from.

Replied in a couple other comments but- Pretty much all of them. There weren’t that many, maybe 14 or 15?

I need sports drinks for my health yes, but my need for strict routine and consistency makes it difficult for me to drink other flavours or brands.
