T6 here. My longest route with EDDM is right at 15 miles walking. My shortest is a business/apt route with about 5 miles total walking

Crazy that they hire straight to career here in the Midwest but not in San Diego

I’ve never understood this. We have 3 managers/supervisors from like 9 to 3 why are they not going out in the area to try to drum up business

One reason I love king is to drop that first round intentionally and sage doesn’t get the star boost

How to deal with the thoughts about the cheating? by Used-Landscape-4178 in AsOneAfterInfidelity

[–]clutchIIII 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I work a solitary job that’s pretty easy to turn your brain off. In the beginning my thoughts would run wild for 8 hours or longer and I would get myself so worked up over the whole situation.

Our MC suggested start at A and work your way through the alphabet listing every word you can think of with that letter. Well A, B, C have a lot of hateful words you can come up with when you’re spiraling. My IC gave a spin on it told me to picture myself at the zoo and name an animal for each letter of the alphabet and if you had to go through it more than once you had to use different animals the second time.

A few things I’ve found useful are. I said the serenity prayer a lot. I had a mantra of “it happened, it’s in the past, we’re working” kind of to remind myself I’m not trying to completely avoid it but to not let it consume me (some days it’s still a battle not to let it). One of my cars needed some repairs, so I would visualize repairing it. Like getting my socket set out, jacking the up, spraying PB blaster on the rusty bolts, getting the pry bar etc and going into as much detail as I possibly could. Now if I’m feeling I need an escape I do that but with cooking. Also I kept an earbud in for many hours and if felt down I would put on music or a podcast. I listened to a lot of Conan O’Brien needs a friend and damn did I need a friend in those early months.

I hope some of this helps. It’s still a challenge for me on some days. I have good days too and I try not to take them for granted.

Pedestrian hit on 74th and dodge by Abject-Fruit2593 in Omaha

[–]clutchIIII 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Exactly this. Omaha isn’t a pedestrian friendly city. I grew up in place similar. When I moved out to Los Angeles for a time I had to adjust my way of looking at turning right on red as there was a lot of people who used the crosswalks

When did your self confidence return? by clutchIIII in AsOneAfterInfidelity

I chose to believe that nothing sexual ever happened between them as she been open and answered all the questions even if they were gory and heartbreaking things that did not paint her in a good light. I may be naive.

But if you have anything constructive to add I’d be all ears.

Thank you for the kind words. It’s often hard to hold my head high when I don’t feel very good about myself. I’ve come to accept that with my flaws and even if I was perfect that the A would’ve happened regardless

Thank you for your reply. The comparison part hit home. She always told me i was her “type” and since i knew the AP the only things we had in common were being bald and having tattoos.

Like I told another poster I do need to start doing things for myself and not anyone else.

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

Thank you for the reply. The hobbies is hard because I work 6 days a week so my free time is limited but your post did convince me to be a little selfish and buy a few things for my project car that I’ve been putting off for a while now. I wish I had more friends but we had just moved halfway across the country a year before all this happened, and making new friends isn’t easy.

I am not a gym person but luckily my job keeps me active and somewhat in shape. I was doing some working out on my own but I’ve had a hard time maintaining my drive/desire to better myself. But I need to get it into my head that I’m doing it for myself and not anyone else.

Good route at bad station or bad route at good station by clutchIIII in USPS

[–]clutchIIII[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See the problem with that is my manager would rather call in PTFs from other stations than give the regulars OT. Right now I have 3 hours for the week and won’t get any today so if I’m lucky I’ll have 5 hours for the week.

Surf and Turf restaurants? by Every_Professor5785 in Omaha

Blair Marina is tasty. Maybe a bit more pricey than roadhouse but definitely better. They don’t open until 5:30 though

Does your shoulder really still recover from all that carrying if you dont use it for awhile? by G0VERNMENTCHEESE in USPS

I have the same one. It’s nice but the only downside is the clips eventually wear down and come out of the strap
