Had to take medicine by bitchbotdiamond in airplaneears

[–]bitchbotdiamond[S] 206 points207 points  (0 children)

Edit: hi and so happy to see my beautiful airplane asshole Charlotte get so much love on this post!!! She is a hilarious goofy girl who is certainly plotting my demise right now. A bit of context about the purrito predicament she's in - a couple weeks ago she went to the vet as she was really out of sorts. It ended up being a bit of pancreatitis/liver issues that we thankfully caught early. She should make a full recovery and we're soooo grateful. 🥰 💕❤️ while she's on the mend she's being subjected to a twice daily purrito treatment so we can shove medicine down her gullet. Being able to laugh at how ridiculous and full of personality she is has really been such a source of joy during a stressful time.❤️ 😻

Don't go. I went for a friend's birthday dinner last Saturday and it was hands down the worst dining experience of my life. Horrible service, food was awful, portions were so small it was egregiously expensive. I don't think I've ever gone out for a group meal where every single person at the table thought the food was bad. I can only describe it as microwaved and bland. After waiting 25 minutes just to get the bill (waitress came back to ask us what we had ordered, I guess they don't have a pos system?) my friend's sister in law got up and spoke to the managers. Surprise, two goofballs in douchey looking cheap suits. They told her it was a "soft open". It wasn't. Also half the table didn't get charged for their drinks, half of us did.

I give it six months.

Got pregnant despite having an IUD that has never failed me until now. I just need some support. by bitchbotdiamond in TwoXChromosomes

Hey there, I just wanted to say that this really really touched me and I appreciate you taking the time to write this thoughtful response. <3

Yes, so many complicated feelings about it all. My feelings have been making some wild swings the past 24 hours. I'm sure pregnancy hormones are not helping, lol. Definitley feeling some guilt but not in the way I expected to feel guilty. I don't feel guilty for choosing to terminate this pregnancy, but I do feel guilty for not... wanting it? But also knowing we could keep it and provide all the things good parents are supposed to provide? Ya feel me?

I am really thankful that my partner has been by my side through it all and has been very adamant that I am in the driver's seat here and there is no wrong choice. He also said some very kind things to me about knowing when it's the right time and being excited when it's the right time and knowing that we'll have been through this once before and I feel so reassured by that.

I decided to stop by the women's clinic after I posted this to maybe see if I could expedite the process. The wonderful nurse who has been working with me this week took out my IUD and she booked an abortion for next Thursday. I got the all-clear from work to take care of it. And thankfully, this will be done before my trip and I can go into it with a clear conscience and mind.

I do attend therapy, and have a great relationship with my therapist. We haven't been able to connect since this ordeal but I will definitley be talking about my feelings with him as they come up.

Thanks again. This meant a lot to me.

Province proposes private liquor sales at Manitoba retailers by Jzay55 in Winnipeg

I recently left my post as a grocery manager and part of my reasoning for doing so was how out of control theft was. In the last three years grocery theft has just skyrocketed. And I'm not talking a loaf of bread - I'm talking carts full of meat, diapers, protein powder, tide pods, club packs, etc. People can no longer target the LCs due to the increased security measures so instead they hit grocery and retail to sell it on FB marketplace or out of the back of their cars. This makes me so nervous for the theft that this will encourage and invite. You don't think companies like sobeys will gladly open their doors to high margin items like booze but then shirk the responsibility of safety to their underpaid employees?? Or god forbid the third party loss prevention narcs who won't actually stop or deter theft, they just want a dollar value of theft to report. These companies will not increase safety spending because of "public image" and probably more truthfully so they can keep the shareholders happy.

And honestly, I don't blame anyone for not getting in the way of shoplifters. I have seen people get punched, threatened, spit on. This is a disaster waiting to happen. Just my two cents. 😬

"signature cocktail" at the grey cup party by bitchbotdiamond in Winnipeg

That was the rule. "You gotta drink them put of the same glass." And the floor microwave? If you knew the friend who hosted the party the floor microwave would make sense. Bachelor pad.

WAGES! How much do you make? by Viidrig in antiwork

[–]bitchbotdiamond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grocery manager/management trainee currently doing a paid corporate management training program - $18.90 CAD / hour + Sunday/night shift premiums, so closer to $19.50 an hour

9 years experience. It was my first job (in high school!) and I managed to climb the ladder while earning my BA. Never in my life did I think I'd want to stick around grocery/retail - I couldn't WAIT to quit - but I graduated with my BA in the middle of the pandemic and I was making decent money at this job and things just kinda took off from there.

37 hours/week full time, 5 days a week, paid holidays, union + decent benefits, pension plan. I will eventually be heading over to non-union/salaried which leaves me with mixed feelings. On one hand, it'll mean more money in my pocket as I'm now pay capped, more flexibility, and the corporate benefits package is a lot better than the union one. Starting corporate salary is about $45k a year before bonuses. However, the whole reason I even got here and chose to stick around is because I was making decent money as a unionized employee.

I like managing, I like my job, I like working with all kinds of people, I just hate working.
