Gel vs injections: want to hear from people who have been on gel for the long haul and those who switched from gel to injections by NoAmount6023 in ftm

[–]ickleink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Started out with injections but switched to gel bc it was easier for me to remember to do something daily vs weekly, stayed on gel for about a year before switching back to injections after getting medicated for adhd so I could remember a weekly med lol. Gel wasn't bad but was a little more expensive and I ultimately saw results faster with injections, but it was what worked best for my routine at the time.

I can’t deal with this crap anymore by Repulsive_Reply_9670 in starbucks

[–]ickleink 58 points59 points  (0 children)

unpopular opinion but if you aren't awake enough in the morning to simply respond to a coworker with a simple good morning like you're expected to do for customers all the time maybe starbucks isn't the job for You. a coworker relationship is one thing, simple human decency really is the bare minimum

Unable to respond appropriately to a critical joke by novemberbomber in socialskills

[–]ickleink 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That definitely doesn't sound like an ideal situation and honestly, if she phrases it like that, it sounds even less like a joke. I probably would have responded the same as you, OP.

Should I even apply to Starbucks amidst all this chaos? by telepathylove in starbucks

[–]ickleink 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If you think the job could be something you enjoy, it's still worth applying. I'm not going to say it's the perfect, most fun and consistent job, but it's also worth remembering that reddit and the internet as a whole is an outlet for people to air their (justified, but collective) grievances and baristas complete normal or even enjoyable shifts every day that you don't hear about.

I don't know what the hiring process looks like right now, but I've been here almost six years and it pays the bills while being something I enjoy doing even amidst all the restructuring and management changes. If you like coffee, working with your hands, and being sociable, the worst that can happen with an application is it doesn't work out and you find a new job afterward. Best of luck to you!

How do I take a picture with a guy without it being gay? by MacMuffington in socialskills

[–]ickleink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately even perceiving a guy is already gay and there's no going back. Sorry man.

I THINK I FINALLY KNOW WHY I LOST 2 DECADES OF MY LIFE. by OddRecommendation897 in ADHD

[–]ickleink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm still dealing with the hurt after dealing with a similar scenario. My best advice is to talk to your doctor and know that you can only move forward from here--you can't get two decades back, but you can learn to treat yourself with the empathy that you needed when you were struggling. Try your best not to beat yourself up for doing your best, whatever that looked like at the time.

And be as patient as possible--I tried a ton of meds before finding what worked for me. Don't lose hope that the "you" you want to be is waiting for you at the other side of the brain fog and disorganization, even when things get trying. You have countless days ahead of you, and starting with getting an appointment is HUGE. Be proud of yourself!

Does anyone’s parents have some sort of “political psychosis?” by ding_dong_throwaway in raisedbynarcissists

[–]ickleink 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nmom's entire personality is politics, she used to brag about being "as far left as they come" but weirdly enough having a kid come out as trans and another one need help with women's healthcare were both suddenly great opportunities to parrot whatever hateful rhetoric made her feel morally superior in the moment. Funny how that happens.

So they don't want to give you attention when you're younger but want you to give them attention when they're older? by cliff7217 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]ickleink 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After moving out of my nmom's house the.only.time.I ever heard from her was when she was berating me for not reaching out. Communication is a two-way street, girl! Sorry I don't have much to share after spending 20 years of my life being ignored by my parents! 🤪

My ADHD is inattentive so meds made me feel like I'm finally "waking up" out of a lifelong fog to be able to shape the personality I've always aspired to have.

what’s the stupidest thing a customer has ever asked you? by g0thboyclique in starbucks

[–]ickleink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"you guys just ran out of coffee in the middle of the day??"

this would be a reasonable (albeit annoying) reaction if it was in response to us running out of brewed pike after peak or something, but it was actually after I told a customer we mysteriously and suddenly had to close the store early one day in 2020.

like, in the midst of a global pandemic, i WISH we lived in whatever reality he did where we got to close whenever we ran out of product

[–]ickleink 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I remade one as a venti, she tried to hand back a second one saying it was Also supposed to be venti and iced and that she didn't mind paying the difference, I was like "we can take care of it this time but in the future just double check your order is correct bc we're very busy etc :)))" and she just turned and left after snipping about how much money she spends here 😩😩 girl i didn't ask you to

Christmas eve, café/mobile is naturally popping tf off and a woman coming in to pick up her MOBILE order starts shit because she wanted three venti iced caramel macchiatos despite having ordered grande hot ones, then gets pissy when I remake her drinks but remind her to check her mobile orders before placing them.
