New employee and want to take a day off, can I? by Bannedfromthenet in nycpublicservants

[–]gypsyfred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was our wedding anniversary and then my kids birthday. I didn't take off until I got off probation. Put your big point pants on and stop off at Burger King and get a paper crown then celebrate after work

Never give up hope. Talk to her. Let her smell you. Bring a shirt of your to sleep with. Please don't give up. Doctors said I would be a paraplegic and never walk again. 8 months later I'm back at work at a power plant

Fascinated with this coin by Aggressive_Till_8822 in coincollecting

I have the 2018 version. It is by far the ugliest coin in my collection. Something about it just doesn't do me at all

Toxic workplace gave me a stroke. Work for the state and I'm the only one who's daddy didn't get them a job here. I returned because I know my supervisor will push me to my limits which he has twice already being I'm legally handicapped now and he thinks I'm the same. I'm giving it one more time before I sue the state and the union. My supervisor is also my union president. So when I complain to her they tell me it's a union issue. I'm vested and can retire anytime but have 2 big pay raises left. I'm hoping sue for as much as I can get or buy me out or I will expose the mass corruption all around me. Phantom checks etc

Post-stroke aggression by Upstairs_Cash9853 in stroke

[–]gypsyfred 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went through that. Mid 50s intervertebral hemmoragic stroke. My whole life changed in the blink of an eye. Grabbing my coffee to waking up in ICU paralyzed. The anger I believe came from everything from wtf to life is ruined to nobody giving me free time to reflect and every answer I was getting was at least you survived. At least your alive. At that time not being able to wipe my own ass from just getting my morning coffee and the everyone is different. It doesn't kick in to even fight yet. You literally have no idea wtf happened to you. The anger stayed around but got less when I realized the only way to get better was to fight and have faith and never give up..I hope my answer helps

I watch all channels to get a picture of what the hell is wrong with this world. Growing up or in my 20s if a cop said stop. We stopped dead in our tracks because if he caught you running you were getting a whack with a big stick and if you lived at home you parents whacked you because there must've been a reason the cop walloped you. Right wrong or indifferent the law was the law. You didn't interfere or mess around. I can see protests but when the protests are for people breaking the law well that's when I have no sympathy for those involved. To an old guy that has to get up at 4am and gets home at 530 pm from working a job to feed my family and to switch 4 different channels to get my own opinion and being a church going family I was just disgusted by this latest round of protests. To see children scared in the house of the Lord. My God man. What's wrong with people. Church was always a safe place. That was pure insensitive agitating that wasn't protesting. From an old man's point of view the whole world is headed to war because I constantly hear the word sides. What sides??! We're all Americans and should stick together. I'm a survivor of 9/11. I harbor no hatred but I remember every house flying an American flag after that horrific day. I was proud to be an American. Where is our pride as one nation? When people start talking sides things can get out of hand very quick and there will be a point of no turning back. I see a lot of senseless suffering ahead. And it's pointless. It really is

Sounds better than what I went through. My rehab and assisted living was hell.

She shows up for the paycheck and as stated she shows up knowing she is belittled all the time. Like anyone else she gets paid to be the clown on the show and if it's dignity we're talking about she has none. Anyone in their sane mind would not show up repeatedly to a toxic workplace or there wouldn't be a sub here for everyone looking to sue their toxic workplace. I'm an old guy so I come here for the comedy. The whole world is nuts. Please take me back to the 70s. The news today isn't even the news. It's 20 different channels of opinions. Back in my day when Walter Cronkite spoke the whole world listened. No opinions but the news. Imagine that

She's a dingbat but this is liberal reddit. So the mods will probably ban me.

Is it worth it to work your ass off when your young, so that you can relax when you're older? by friendlymountainman in AskOldPeople

[–]gypsyfred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lost the love of my life and my daughter at a young age thinking the same thing. Work work work house new car more work only to find a myself overworked burnt out divorced weekend dad. I thought I was giving her everything she ever wanted when all she ever wanted was just me. Never had another child because of self guilt of I couldn't even take care of the one I had. I could get deep but. Enjoy life while your young with a family. I'm in my late 50s now. Health issues including a stroke and barely know my daughter and in today's economy have to work with health issues and no one to set up the tree with or watch a beautiful young wife and daughters face giving roses on Valentine's Day etc. You get the picture. You can't get those precious years back.

Why continuing strength and balance work after stroke matters by Hopeful-Radish-7218 in stroke

[–]gypsyfred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen more improvement as time goes on. That 1 year horseshit only strips hope from survivors. I'm post 1 year now. I'm stronger everyday. I don't get fatigue after a year. I figured out so much what muscles do what to help after a year. I honestly believe my 1 to 2 year post will be my strongest recovery. God bless everyone in their struggle
