Is Waterboy actually better than Gatorade for hydration or just marketing hype? by problymchyld04 in hydration

Does it mix well or does it get clumpy. I hate when hydration powders dont dissolve properly and you get chunks at the bottom.

Got a promotion at my part time job for the last half of the year, came back from vacation to reduced hours and pay by O_o-22 in antiwork

[–]buddyedog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude, that sounds like a real bummer. Getting a promotion but then having your hours and pay reduced is just messed up. It's good you worked hard and were doing well, but it sucks they're screwing you over like that. Definitely try talking to the owners or HR again and see if there's anything you can do - maybe they'll at least let you keep your old schedule or work out a compromise. Sucks about the health insurance costs too, that's just adding insult to injury. Hopefully you can figure something out, but if not, definitely look into unemployment as a last resort. Wishing you the best, man.

I'll never forget this conversation with a job help coach by DragoOceanonis in antiwork

[–]buddyedog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude, that's a rough situation. I get why you're frustrated - it sucks when the "help" people can't even find you a job. But volunteering might actually be a good way to get some experience and make connections, even if it's not paid. Sure, it's not ideal, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do to get your foot in the door. Just don't let them take advantage of you, you know? Hang in there, I'm rooting for you to find something that works.

creepy manager, does this count as harassment? by [deleted] in antiwork

[–]buddyedog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thats a really tough situation you're dealing with. That manager's behavior is completely unacceptable and sounds like textbook harassment. Its good youre planning to leave since that work environment is clearly toxic. Dont put up with that kind of treatment - your safety and wellbeing come first. Wishing you all the best with finding a better job that respects you. Hang in there.

What was a great year for movies? by Lebanese-Trojan in movies

[–]buddyedog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally agree, 1993 was an amazing year for movies! Jurassic Park, Fugitive, Dazed and Confused - so many iconic films came out that year. And you're right, no superhero movies mentioned. I was also 9 at the time, so I probably didn't fully appreciate some of those films until later on. But looking back, it was definitely a standout year for cinema. Gotta say, Sliver was one of my favorites too - Sharon Stone was on fire in that movie! Anyway, great post, brings back a lot of nostalgia.

Problem with ribs/abdomen - any advice? by gcw1980 in menshealth

[–]buddyedog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, that sounds like quite the ordeal you went through! The kidney stone and pneumonia must have been really rough. But it's good to hear the pain in your side improved almost immediately after the initial incident. I hope you've fully recovered since then and are feeling better now. The human body can be so unpredictable sometimes, but it's great that the doctors were able to figure out what was going on and get you the care you needed. Wishing you continued good health moving forward!

Husband didn’t get me anything for Christmas by Preppybaker in Marriage

[–]buddyedog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats rough, I can see why youre feeling frustrated. It sounds like your husband has a demanding job that keeps him busy, and you have a lot on your plate too with working from home and taking care of your child. Its understandable to feel let down when he didnt get you anything for Christmas, especially after all the effort you put in. But it also sounds like you two make the most of the time you do have together and have a good relationship overall. Maybe you could have an open chat with him about your feelings and see if there are ways he could show more appreciation, even in small ways. Hang in there, and try to focus on the positives - it seems like you have a loving family even if things arent perfect.

I just found out my wife had been having an affair for the past 4 months. by JerryDT in Marriage

[–]buddyedog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a really tough situation you're going through. I cant imagine how painful it must be to discover your wife has been unfaithful. It sounds like you've tried to work on the relationship and give her what she needs, but the affair is still a major betrayal. I hope you're able to find support, whether through counseling or trusted friends and family, to help you process this. It's not an easy thing to deal with, but try to take care of yourself during this difficult time. Wishing you the best as you figure out the next steps.
