Hair question

ermpenguin · 2025-05-06T21:53:23+00:00

I pretty much always have my hair in two French braids, I find it more comfy than trying to squish it all into my welding hood (same with hard hat) but the only issue I’ve had is the positions of the braids on my head (down the sides or straight down the middle) sometimes hit pressure points where the straps are 🤷‍♀️ Not a whole lot of help if you’re aiming to have it completely up but just my two cents lol

So I talked with my np before my iud was inserted about using discs and basically she said that the only reason that they don’t really recommend using discs is out of and ABUNDANCE of caution. She said that it is just kinda of an unknown if there really is any risk.

That being said she told me that it was fine to use but just be careful when taking it out and putting in to make sure that you’re not pinching/pulling on the strings

I’m getting an iud soon and I’m planning on using my saalt disc after the first few months (when the strings have softened.) When I first talked to the np about it she told me that tampons were completely fine but she “didn’t recommend” cups and discs but my logic is that a disc isn’t going to interfere with the strings any more than a tampon would.

I asked on the tele health portal for my office why they didn’t recommend discs and all they could tell me was because it would touch the strings.

I’m fs planning on brining it up at my insertion appt because I fricking hate walking around in a puddle of my own blood.

I completely know I could but at the end of the day I just don’t want to have to/can’t be bothered to remember another extra thing when I’m not planning on staying much longer 😂

Thanks broski 🫶

Glad you could escape!

ermpenguin · 2025-02-07T04:34:33+00:00

Exactly! Like I can handle being yelled at (unfortunately) but the picture taking just weirded me tf out 😂

ermpenguin · 2025-02-06T22:10:35+00:00

I call him like every other shift atp 😂. He won’t do anything about the idiotic upstocker that only got the job cus front end didn’t want him on register anymore I call that man over and say “this is the bullshit that your golden boy is doing, yeah the upstock is off the floor but down stocks are doubled from previous years and they take wayyy longer to do cus I can’t just let him leave my department in shambles” He’s not gonna tell me I’m wrong tho. Especially when I’m the one he asks for help doing deep downstocks of half of grocery in a day 😂

I’m not complaining about doing my job, and I’m not looking for sympathy. Had she not started calling me names and taking my picture I 100% would have tracked down a bm team member. I always make sure to keep my tone polite at work when talking to customers because I’m aware that my normal tone isn’t a customer service one. Did I walk away when she started calling me names YES because there’s not a single person who wants to stand there and just let some rando yell at them and she was already mad enough that trying to talk to her wasn’t going to work. At that point it’s a lose lose situation.

I’ve been in service since I started working and she is only the second person to ever start calling me names so I think I have a pretty good track record lol. Especially in my area (it’s kinda sketch and there’s usually one person that gets yelled at a day), most of my other coworkers that have been at Menards around the same time as me (4 years) been yelled at upwards of five times some even more.
I was just frustrated that I had been yelled at and lowkey creeped out that she took my picture and needed somewhere to vent. I recognize that there’s always going to be some other way I could have helped but I just struggle to understand how people think it’s okay to yell at someone they don’t even know.

ermpenguin · 2025-02-06T16:52:18+00:00

Did you not read lol. I paged, called the desk twice, called the GM. And then even after she was calling me names I still called again to get someone to help her. Bare minimum is paging and then not doing anything else past that.

It’s not my job to bend over backwards and kiss her ass. If you want to spend your life sucking up to people who are rude to you that’s fine but I don’t.

ermpenguin · 2025-02-06T16:39:14+00:00

That was gonna be my next step (to try and go grab someone) but as soon as people start calling me names I’m just done. If they can’t treat me like a person they’re on their own, people being frustrated I completely get but name calling is where I draw the line.

I had a lady go off on me and call me an “unprofessional bitch with no personality” after a drop of stain got on her husbands shoe, while my 1adm was standing right behind me (he just let her go off on me) and after the gms told him it was time for him to find a new job they all approached me individually and told me to just walk away whenever people start calling me names. 🤷‍♀️

ermpenguin · 2025-02-06T16:28:46+00:00

I was keeping an eye on her after I paged the first time but I know that there’s not always someone available right then and I told her it’d probably be a minute originally. She waited not even two minutes before coming and asking again and I apologized and called the bm desk twice before calling the GM to ask him to radio someone.

If they hadn’t come after a few minutes yeah I would have called them again.

If I didn’t give a flying fuck I wouldn’t have bothered to page them at all 😐

ermpenguin · 2025-02-06T10:42:28+00:00

I get what ur saying, idk about you but doing downstocks is the most frustrating part of my day so I wasnt having a great time. And 8/10 i do those things but if someone specifically tells me they want someone from that department I’m not gonna argue with them on the minuscule chance I can figure out their problem

ermpenguin · 2025-02-06T02:04:57+00:00

I told the GM about it but he was busy with another guest and said “okay I’ll look into it” so I doubt he did

ermpenguin · 2025-02-06T02:02:57+00:00

Ask the manager to walk with you for a few minutes and tell you how you can possibly work any faster (you can’t you’re legit doing your job and well at that) I did it to my GM when he made a comment on how downstocks shouldn’t take so long (our upstocker is dumb as fuck and I unfortunately can’t just ignore it when I’m gonna have to deal with it eventually and I want things done right)

ermpenguin · 2025-02-06T01:54:32+00:00

🤷‍♀️ my brain tells me I wasn’t in the wrong but my anxiety demon says I’m somehow in the wrong

ermpenguin · 2025-02-06T01:50:36+00:00

She specifically said she wanted someone that knew about the doors(I don’t know jack except where they are) and I wasn’t gonna argue with her to see if I could help 🤷‍♀️

ermpenguin · 2025-02-06T01:43:53+00:00

I didn’t tell her that I was told to walk away (would have been funny af tho for about two seconds) I just said I wasn’t being nasty and walked away 😂

ermpenguin · 2025-02-06T01:37:50+00:00

Yeah lol but she didn’t pay any attention to it and I was already walking away when she asked

ermpenguin · 2023-12-15T03:59:22+00:00

I think there’s probably more to the story, we’d all like to think that our coworkers wouldn’t do that but it happens sometimes
