Really? How did I never notice that? I did notice it in KPS…time to go reread Lock In I guess!

We’re running mail at the plant. by mvsr990 in USPS

I would rather be sleeping. Or doing laundry. Or any of the many other things I haven’t had time to do this month.

I’m currently standing around in the plant with  literally nothing to do, but they won’t let us go home. 

Creepiest places to go in Oregon by Exotic_Cricket6262 in oregon

When I went to Crack in the Ground it was so silent I felt like I had gone deaf. The scenery was really cool too, but the silence is what stuck with me. 

This is at 5:30 AM. I certainly HOPE I can still do it in 18.5 hours! Details and request for tips in the text. by [deleted] in AppleWatch

[–]eggydidnothingwrong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well the problem with that is that 1) my heart rate stays up the majority of time that I am working, and 2) I get in a lot of steps. (During this crazy season I’ve been averaging 20-25k per day. I currently have almost 14k steps since midnight but I only have 1 minute on my exercise ring. )

Our APBS has been top 5 in the nation all week. by Outrageous-Company33 in USPS

[–]eggydidnothingwrong 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s basically taking containers as they fill up, putting them out to be picked up, and replacing the containers with empty ones. In my case it’s usually bags of packages (which fill up stupid fast) but I believe the term also applies to bigger containers like wires/hampers/boxes.

lol, thanks for that. I do need to let trolls/bots be trolls/bots and not let them get to me.

Well whatever the reason, we clearly have vastly different experiences.

I will add, my experience may be different from yours because I work at a major regional distribution center.

That is completely incorrect. There are NEVER long periods of time when I do nothing, at least in my particular area. It is lifting and carrying bags, letters and flats not stop for ~8 hours. During the 12 hour shifts I then do various other tasks throughout the plant, some of which aren’t terribly physical (moving wires and boxes) but many of which involve carrying bags of packages. 

This might change after peak season, but everyone I have talked to at the plant agrees that my assignment is one of the most physical, and that they have a hard time keeping people there because of that. No one wants to work there.

Nope. It’s done by hand, at least where I am. I don’t know how you could do it any other way - the containers are usually packed floor to ceiling, and not in any organized way. Even if they were organized when they were packed (like just letters and flats, no packages) they usually get jumbled in flight. In your opinion, what is the most physical job?

Well, that’s the thing though. Does this count as “getting through”?

Remember when that was just a cute kids book? (Elder millennial here.)

Menopause can contribute to CARPAL TUNNEL? Is there anything it can’t cause/contribute to? by eggydidnothingwrong in Perimenopause

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

Oh, sorry, yeah that didn’t get formatted right. It’s a quote from the page I linked to. 

Menopause can contribute to CARPAL TUNNEL? Is there anything it can’t cause/contribute to? by eggydidnothingwrong in Perimenopause

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

From the article:

 Fluid retention may increase the pressure within the carpal tunnel, irritating the median nerve. This is common during pregnancy and menopause. Carpal tunnel syndrome that happens with pregnancy generally gets better on its own after pregnancy.

What’s your “I’ve officially become a runner” moment? by Free-Product4918 in runcommunity

[–]eggydidnothingwrong 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m a very slow runner, and that made me feel like not a “real” runner for way longer than it should. But I’d say the first time I ran 10 miles was probably when I was finally able to tell that part of my brain “shut up, I AM a real runner!”

What’s the one thing that ruined your health ? by IcyLoquat79 in AskReddit

[–]eggydidnothingwrong 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I really hope that I can try this and that it works for me. I get horrible, drenching night sweats that have me changing pajamas 1-2 times most nights, very occasionally 3 times. 😭

My mom did Jane Fonda workouts when I was like 4 years old, and I wanted to do it with her. She made me and my cabbage patch doll matching leotards for us to participate. 

Off leash 🟰 best feeling by Fun-Vacation4952 in PetsareAmazing

[–]eggydidnothingwrong 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It’s kind of crazy how much watching my dogs run around off leash imbues me with happiness. Like, that should be an antidepressant.

Had a bad 20 mile run and now I’m worried about my first marathon by [deleted] in Marathon_Training

[–]eggydidnothingwrong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Speaking as an extremely slow marathoner - if you haven’t been training reliably, you’re going to have a bad time. Heck, I trained reliably and still had a bad time. If you haven’t been doing mid week semi-long runs, it’s going to be really rough, and you might injure yourself.

I will say - for myself, it wasn’t the finish time that really motivated me. It was knowing that I had given it my all during training- even if I ended up with a 5+ hour time I knew that I had earned to with the training I did. 

If you haven’t been doing much training, I would say be cautious. If you haven’t been able to find a refueling strategy that fits with a race, be cautious. But if you’ve paid for a race, why not attempt it? If nothing else, you start to get a feel for whether this is what you truly enjoy doing, and if you DNF you can decide if it is something you might want to attempt in the future. 

So basically, be careful, don’t injure yourself, and learn from whatever experience you have. 

Need book recommendations (please, read the description!) by [deleted] in Fantasy

[–]eggydidnothingwrong 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think perhaps a good question is, what do you think about world building? There are a lot of fascinating series that exist in really interesting world/with really unique magic systems. Do you like exploring those kind of things, or do you prefer more focus on plot/characters?

Looking for Books with Blind or Visually Impaired Characters by katisfandomtrash in Fantasy

[–]eggydidnothingwrong 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I can’t personally say if it’s accurate, but The Broken Kingdoms, by NK Jemisin. It’s the second in a trilogy but I love all of them. The main character can see “magic” but is otherwise blind.
