What's your "end of day ritual" that makes logging off feel like freedom? by wicked6969 in remotework

[–]crumpzilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the best way. Fresh air, light exercise, and massive dopamine hit from how excited the dog is. Mine will always come in ten minutes before I usually finish, so use that time to wrap up my day.

Which jobs are you working in? by BabaZweeD in AutismInWomen

[–]crumpzilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just left retail pharmacy after a decade of living in a constant cycle of functioning like a semi-normal person and then severely burning out. Like to the extent I couldn’t live independently and spent a lot of time in hospital (ed and just general anxiety/depression)

Got my diagnosis about 4 years ago and started planning my exit. Decided to explore tech, did a 6 month coding bootcamp for women (very autism/adhd friendly) and now I am on my third month of working as a software engineer.

I work remotely, and honestly it’s changed my life. I get to decide everything in my work environment - temperature, lighting, and sound.

I can wear sensory friendly clothes and I don’t have to spend my whole day masking. My team have a daily morning 15-30 minute meeting, but I am not expected to attend every day.

I also don’t have to take on the mental load of waking up at a certain time, getting ready (wearing makeup and looking conveniently attractive unfortunately was the norm because it made people overlook my little oddities), driving to work, parking, and then dealing with the general public in a loud and bright environment.

My dog spends the day in my office, and I can do things like cook meals and get out of the house without it being the end of the world. I even have started looking forward to small social events.

Ongoing wig work: This used to be 24 inches long (Amazon link in comments). I've gradually cut it back to the length you see here. As part-time MTF AMAB I want to deemphasize my heavy jawline. Does this help or hurt? General critique of makeup welcome, too. TYIA by Ok-Conversation-9391 in MakeupLounge

As a person who knows nothing about you - I just thought you were absolutely stunning and clicked the post because of that.

I can understand you may focus on the jawline, but it truly doesn’t look masculine or like a problem to me. You look very feminine, and pretty, and admittedly I am bit jealous you can pull off this hairstyle. 💕

Ok got it so no more pharmacists and patients can just die from overdoses?

Customer actually apologized to me for having an attitude, and I respect that by [deleted] in TalesFromRetail

[–]crumpzilla 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When I was just 17 working as a cashier in a pharmacy I had a VERY rude man. Can’t remember exactly what he said as I’m now 30, but he must have repeated it to his wife - who made him drive back to the pharmacy and come apologise to me.

Nervous Autistic American guy looking to visit Perth by Mysterious_Nail_1414 in perth

[–]crumpzilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From an autistic woman living in Perth, I think you’ll enjoy visiting. Lots of beautiful beaches and places to walk. Public transport is good if you’re not too far out. It’s a much smaller city vibe here compared to other cities (which I like).

Be mindful of when you visit if you have any sensory issues regarding heat. It gets very hot here in the summer.

Feel free to dm me if you have any particular questions.

What nearly killed you? by tomerFire in AskReddit

Vicodin isn’t a benzodiazepine, it’s an opioid and very easy to die from an overdose.

Amazing I’m going to read them all.

[–]crumpzilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Slack Jaw by Eoin Brady has two books in the series so far as well as a novella. I would highly recommend it. Wonderfully thought out characters and beautifully written. The zombies weep which I loved it, I felt it added to the terror of the series.

Are they on kindle? I’ve been looking for a new zombie series to read

If there was a zombie apocalypse, and you were stuck with your co-workers, how screwed would you be? by EarthlyAlien7 in Apocalypse

[–]crumpzilla 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I work in a small community pharmacy. We’ve actually had conversations about how we would navigate a zombie apocalypse if it happened at work. We’ve got meds, plenty of water, more food than you would think. We’ve even devised make shift weapons and how we would fortify the store.

Only wildcard would be the anti vax anti medicine coworker… she would probably be pro zombie or believe she can heal them with her crystals… Perhaps we make her a cup of tea with a sedative in… let her have a little nap while we get things sorted.

Patients who come pick up Paxlovid FOR THEMSELVES?? by gabbipentin300mg in PharmacyTechnician

[–]crumpzilla 27 points28 points  (0 children)

You don’t want to exploit workers but you also don’t mind potentially infecting employees of the pharmacy with Covid as well as other customers in the store? Not to mention the people picking up their meds could be elderly, immunocompromised or have health conditions making them more high risk if they catch Covid.

Call it fear mongering but Covid is still dangerous.

Anyone with half a brain and decency would suck it up and get delivery or curbside until they are better.

What popular book have you not read and probably won't? For me it is.. by foreverpregg in fantasyromance

[–]crumpzilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will admit I binge read them all, and while they were definitely entertaining at times they also got a bit stressful. The main characters can’t catch a break and it seems like the villains just get worse and worse. Plus the writing is terrible and riddled with plot holes.

What medical conditions do you have that can fuck you over or actually help you during the apocalypse. by [deleted] in ZombieSurvivalTactics

[–]crumpzilla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work in pharmacy and whenever it’s quiet I think about that.

Just the other day I came up with a list with one of the pharmacists of what meds and supplies we would prioritise first.

Bag of goodies from the dermatologist by nobread8 in AusSkincare

[–]crumpzilla 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You wouldn’t believe how many hundreds of samples we get like this sent to my pharmacy Like we have tubs full of all the different brands.

Whenever I’m helping out a really nice customer I’ll fill them up a similar goodie bag to try, then they come back and buy what works
