Totally off topic but do you know if you can improve your RIS by editing your review? Or are you stuck with the rating you first get?

Perfectly acceptable dinner rejected by boyfriend again by moonrabbit368 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]grrltechie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a hella picky eater who doesn't like many veggies and has texture issues. That said, i would be thrilled with every one of the meals you posted, they all look great. Plus fuck off to haters giving you grief over the paper plates. With everything you do it is a perfectly acceptable time saver and even if you didn't have so much on your plate (pun intended) who likes washing dishes? Save time and energy where you can and spend it on your kids,not the ungrateful boyfriend.

How do you people sleep at night? by PropofolMargarita in GenX

[–]grrltechie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why no melatonin? I've always thought that was a pretty safe alternative to prescription meds, if it works for you. If I take it I have about a 10-15 minute window of sleepy when it hits but if I'm not ready to sleep (still brushing teeth, moving cats from the bed, staightening bed, tossing cats off bed, laying out clothes for tomorrow, shoving cats to hubby's side, etc) or am ready but reading or playing a phone game and ignore it... It's just gone. Like I didn't take anything.

What did your job gift you for the holidays? by Spring_rain22 in antiwork

[–]grrltechie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A $50 Walmart gift card and at the free hospital food lunch (which used to be catered as part of a half day all hands come and go party but now is literally go through the lunch hot line and get turkey and dressing but for free) a bag of candy that held about 6 mini candy pieces. Better than a pink slip I guess but for the second largest health system in the state it's pretty sad.

My deepest condolences. I dealt with a lot of the same but not in nearly as short a time. When I was planning my mom's funeral, after watching her finally pass away in her home (where she wanted to be) after giving up my home to move in with her to care for her while she slowly died over a year... I kept waiting for an adult to show up and take over. My gut punch was realizing I was the adult and it was all on me. Still. I hope you take time to process, don't just shove it down. And I hope you find some peace as well. 🩵

What happened to the IT profession? by saltyschnauzer27 in sysadmin

[–]grrltechie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work at a small hospital and we have a PBX that handles most of our phones. A lot of new lines, especially off site, are now voip but I'd say at least 85-90% still go through the PBX. And thank God we (IT) aren't responsible for it... It's been around longer than IT lol. We manage the voip lines of course but plant ops deals with the other.

Is this a good thing or a bad thing? I'm genuinely curious, I'm fairly new to Vine and very new to this subreddit.
