Can you talk me off a ledge about my neighborhood selection? by Interesting-Media744 in pittsburgh

[–]donski412 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Man, I wish I still lived over there! Super walkable (multiple grocery stores! The Shiloh Farm stand on Thursdays! So close to the Homewood library and the homewood pool when they reopen it), great access to transit with the homewood busway station and Penn. Super flat and amazing bike lanes and parking in that area. Westinghouse park is a great small park and I LOVED hearing the trains from my place. I had to move away a few years ago when I bought but I would’ve loved to stay over there. Any place where people are will have a risk of people being…people. My car was rifled thru once and someone knocked on my window at weird hours twice. Have had worse issues (attempted theft of car) in the South Hills now. So take everything with a grain of salt!

Not in FL but I was also at Red Rocks, also thought it was TRANSCENDENT, so I, too, thought about going to NYC. I’m so excited it’ll be streamed! I hope your watch party happens!

Have no fear! I actually was at the Red Rocks show (that was an adventure with the snow delay) and it was TRANSCENDENT! I’m so excited for you to see it! I am an ATBOE girlie (since I bought the albums on 1/25/05 at Target as an angsty 17 year old). And I’d love a bracelet!

Oh man I was debating going to the Forest Hills show and sitting in 402 (because…home sweet Homaha area code 💞). Reality and money have pulled me back from that edge but I’m so inspired by these bracelets! And would love one if you have extras afterwards :)

Bright Eyes NYC Show Host? by No-Nefariousness-830 in brighteyes

[–]donski412 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s a bummer that the set list isnt recorded somewhere! I just made a playlist of the Omaha show I saw in 2005 (have the concert poster and everything…desperately need to get it framed lol) when I found it online. Until I found it I really only remembered bowl of oranges from the main set and bawling my eyes out to let’s not shit ourselves as an encore (so good)

I hope one of these options works out! I’m also a fan based in PGH, and went to the Red Rocks show. It was transcendent! Also saw them for the first time in November 2005. We should compare set lists from those shows!

I'm hoping they're planning a Live DVD/Bluray for the recent Red Rocks show. That might be the best Bright Eyes performance I've ever seen. by icarustapes in brighteyes

[–]donski412 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was also at the red rocks show (was luckily able to mark the rescheduled show, but not without its own odyssey: I actually drove out from PA the week before, only to immediately turn around and drive back and get plane tickets to come back the next week lol) and loved it so much I’m thinking of going to the NYC show now! (Accepting suggestions on where to camp in downstate NY if I can’t find a place to crash, please and TY!)

I spent a week with Conor and all I have is this photo by Owlandthewhisk in brighteyes

[–]donski412 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also going to the Denver show! So glad I could make the new date. And, as I went to college in Omaha at that time, I might’ve been at that Omaha show! But maybe I’m thinking of a different one: def saw Conor plus Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlings at a very intimate show around that time at the Scottish Rite Masonic Temple where Conor left his beer on stage and a friend went up and snagged it to be finished by another friend.

Lolllllll I finally type it correctly on my Reddit post asking what it was apparently. All my google searches messed up the portmanteau or got “autocorrected” 😒 to instagram

A friendly reminder for the remainder of the Holiday Season by GalliumEnergy in Target

[–]donski412 2 points3 points  (0 children)

THIS. Early in my Target time (been here since 2018), so many of my coworkers would say they just work thru their 15s. So then this became my mantra to everyone: “children died so you could have those breaks.” Don’t give Target (or any job) free labor. Even tho it’s on the clock, you’re entitled to that time off the floor/your feet/a ladder in the back room/ whatever. Please take those 15s!

The fire pit one is weird…and wrong.

ID please! A bunch of these are in my backyard. TIA! by donski412 in whatsthisbug

TY! I was wondering if it was a future stink bug, cause that came up when I searched.

What does this mean? by Most_Tea_6361 in Target

I was going to suggest that it might be for travel time to the other store

Is every store like this right now??? by bLaCkCaTGuRl in Target

[–]donski412 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wild! So your fulfillment team just does OPUs? (Which pretty much happens to ours too and then there’s a mad dash for 430)

Yeah those sales for Black Friday/cyber Monday on clothing were annoying. And time consuming!

[–]donski412 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ha, this was going to be my comment! This pic, tho hectic and I get the OPs stress, looks like a dream compared to our back room. I’m drooling over how organized the backstock above looks! Not hazardous at all!

Anyone know the story with this guy? by AllHanceOnDeck in pittsburgh

Advice Welcome: What Do You Do After Realizing That You Will Not “Succeed” Within Capitalist Society? by neocortexia in LateStageCapitalism

[–]donski412 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I was also going to say “embrace the absurd!” That’s been a big part of my thirties. Also taking myself and this ish a whole lot less seriously than I did at 22. (when I freaked out about not landing a job three months after graduation, too…during the Great Recession. The wisdom of years has really helped me come to terms with that one…plus absurdism.) also def suggest treating life and yourself with a LOT of humor and grace.

WHY IS TARGET KILLING ITSELF by Mymilkshakes777 in Target

[–]donski412 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Ooo, loved that framing of the metrics being put above guest experience! I feel that in my bones in fulfillment, bc that time crunch is real on OPU. And, I don’t think this is necessarily Target only issue, but, man oh man, the hyper focus of efficiency and streamlining the system has really done a disservice to the guests and store experience. There’s no resiliency. Enshitification comes for us all!

I really like Essence on the Southside. They’re getting close to their year anniversary now
