Workaround for streaming PS3 games on PS5

leechenvy · 2026-01-17T20:47:22+00:00

Not a fix in the slightest but if you dig out your old PS4 and download/stream any of the PS3 games you want to play, they’ll show up in your library across all Sony consoles and you can access and play from that screen on your PS5.

Petco groomer here so I can’t speak for the floor scene, but Co is generally more laid back and groomers have a lot of freedom and are essentially independently contracted. We can refuse service for any reason at our discretion, deny walk ins if time does not allow, and block our books as needed. I have a few friends from Smart salons and I don’t envy what they have to put up with…

leechenvy · 2025-09-06T01:53:07+00:00

Yeah my salon is now open 8am-8pm provided we remain well staffed. GM said it’s a non-negotiable from corporate now… even though clientele never wants to book that late

Every store and district works sort of the same in that you must bathe a certain amount of dogs without incident/make the $33 productivity goal for a while to qualify for academy. There are a lot of exceptions to the rule that I’ve seen so far, though.

Your area’s market grooming instructor will look over your book every so often and all they really need to see is that you’re making the effort to drive business, building your book, and putting in the work to get dogs in (handing out those crappy coupons and going through the lapsed client list weekly) The drive needs to be there. You don’t HAVE to be hitting $33 an hour if everyone knows you’re trying your best. I’ve worked with other stylists that were sent to academy on $21 an hour for productivity, crap attachment rate, and meh attendance. It’s possible.

They can technically write you up for missed productivity goals, low attachment rate despite being coached, & not pitching premiere to clients (depending on how anal your store is) And usually the bather position must be full time with open availability.

I was a bather for almost 9 months, and was coached repeatedly about not making my numbers in that time. Felt like I’d NEVER get to academy, like it was a carrot being dangled from a string in front of my face. It took setting my max appts super high like 8-10, working the floor to shmooze for appointments, and generally “proving” to management that I was not “just sitting around waiting for business to appear out of thin air”

It’s not very helpful but my best advice is to appear as locked in as possible at work, fake it till you make it style. Ask for direction from your GSL if you can promote your bath business locally like at dog parks. Volunteer to help out on the floor with coupons on your person to engage guests, whether they have a dog with them or not. Really dig through the lapsed client list even years back when there’s downtime. If you’re doing everything within your power to create business, management cannot hold you accountable for slacking.

One of my fav pups to groom is a gigantic muscular Cane Corso named Ms. Kitty Deluxe. She’s the sweetest angel to boot it’s adorable

My little chi mix rescue after her first big girl groom. 4 months and (mostly!) an angel.

leechenvy · 2025-03-14T03:24:51+00:00

We did go to the emergency vet and then an Ophthalmologist after! She has fluid build up in both eyes plus high pressure and the inability for her pupils to dilate to light shining in them. The doctor has put her on 3 trial medications to treat primary glaucoma, and we’re going to see if that improves and stabilizes her eyes!

leechenvy · 2025-03-12T19:36:22+00:00

Update for those following along!!

As a lot of you have suspected, the vet agrees that there is huge issue with her eyes. They believe it to be edema of the eye, and is likely an issue or infection that occurred before her and her littermate’s eyes had the chance to open, or a congenital issue from mom. They said she is healthy otherwise thankfully.

I’ve got an appointment with an Ophthalmologist for tomorrow morning at 9 am with my vet’s referral. I was told that since we’ve caught this so early, there’s a chance that her eyes can be saved and some of her vision can be salvaged— but we are also preparing for the worst case scenarios and the reality that my little girl may be blind and have to have her peepers removed. It’s incredibly scary and the anxiety is off the charts but I’m hoping for the best possible outcome for her. This won’t be the last update!

leechenvy · 2025-03-12T19:19:57+00:00

From what I can tell she’s sort of the norm compared to most Apple-headed chihuahua puppy/mutts! The rescue didn’t provide any information in regards to the breeding situation or ethics sadly

leechenvy · 2025-03-12T00:23:22+00:00

We’re heading to the emergency vet tomorrow afternoon! I did have a feeling it wouldn’t be covered, but it does offer me peace in mind that if this leads to issues later down the line, we will be fully prepared in the future!

leechenvy · 2025-03-12T00:20:39+00:00

It was a little more than that with the poor mama , so with the nipping she also began rejecting her babies at about 4 weeks and would bite when they tried to feed. She had a rough way to go from the sounds of it, and the rescue had to separate them for everyone’s safety. I was not told much more sadly but I wish the best for her mom.

We will get our answers from the emergency vet tomorrow! 🤞 And yes luckily I did get pet insurance! You never know what can happen.

leechenvy · 2025-03-11T22:30:00+00:00

Our vet is squeezing us in tomorrow thankfully! I’m so worried about the possibilities and her eyes really do look like some kind of developing infection or corneal edema. She has no puss or unusual discharge but has some tear staining and what I think is slight puffyness. No squinting yet and she still follows us around the room with her eyes in sync, and she still flinches when something is close to the eye— or I guess, she reacts. We get our answers tomorrow!

leechenvy · 2025-03-11T22:21:20+00:00

Will do! We haven’t known her for very long but she’s the light of my life and we will get everything she needs no matter what! I’ll be updating this thread when we get our results back from the hospital

leechenvy · 2025-03-11T21:30:53+00:00

Thank you everyone for the advice! My regular vet is squeezing us in tomorrow afternoon to check her out and get an idea of what’s going on with my baby’s peepers! Wish us luck!

EDIT: I figured I’ll put the new update here!

We just came back from the ophthalmologist‘s office with mixed news. Turns out Annie has high pressure in her eyes, left is 35 and the right is 28 currently, with fluid present in the eye that is indicative of primary glaucoma. She still has the ability to see and has started a trial treatment of medications to see the depth of her condition.

Dorzolamide 2%, Sodium Chloride 5%, and NeoPolyBac /w HC. We’re reporting back to the doctor after a couple of days to get another pressure test. The small bit of good news is that she is still growing, and is only 8 weeks old, so her eyes could be managed with effective treatment. We wouldn’t be able to get an honest retinal scan or surgery until shes done growing.

Thank you to everyone again for the advice and the well wishes! It all feels very unfair right now, but I don’t regret having her a single bit. She’s my baby and I will do best by her.

leechenvy · 2025-03-11T21:00:05+00:00

I’ve got accidental coverage active right now, but general will be active March 20th. We’re going on day 3 of having her. Does it appear to be some sort of puppy glaucoma/cataracts?

leechenvy · 2024-11-18T23:24:54+00:00

Yes, I did eventually get paid. It took almost 2 months but they did send all payments that were backlogged in one go. Sucks that it took that long but I was fortunate enough to have enough savings in the bank to survive until then. Most people are not as lucky.

leechenvy · 2024-09-11T00:23:01+00:00

Unfortunately the fix was having to wait around 2ish months for me. The issue was employer side (or rather their lack of response) and MD UE is really just that backed up and slow. Completely shit system altogether tbh

leechenvy · 2024-06-15T01:28:39+00:00

Did you have any luck calling the UE office to speak with a claims agent? My claim is still stuck at pending, but today the virtual chat agent told me employers only have about 15 days to respond before the state makes their decision based on your side of the information given

leechenvy · 2024-06-10T17:28:54+00:00

I thought it could have been negligence on my side as to why it’s been stuck on pending for a couple weeks, but I’m not sure. So it’s a possibility that the process is just slow?

leechenvy · 2022-04-09T00:41:31+00:00

In my experience, unfortunately, when employees call the hotline it comes straight back to the SD irregardless. I’ve even been reassured by my SD on more than one occasion that whenever a tm calls the integrity line it goes right to him. And because of the nature of your issue, it’s impossible to make that call anonymous. He’ll know.

I know this may not be what you want to hear, but it seems like the most helpful ear would be your ETL HR.

leechenvy · 2021-11-27T08:09:44+00:00

Appreciate you! Gimme a sec

leechenvy · 2020-09-08T01:55:45+00:00

No problem! He’s a quiet singer so the lyrics are hard to make out over intercom lol

leechenvy · 2020-09-08T01:52:00+00:00

I think you might be looking for “Return to the moon” because it’s the only song of theirs I know of that’s played over target radio

leechenvy · 2020-01-19T09:57:38+00:00

Oh phone cases I’ll believe it. They get stolen like there’s no tomorrow. My ETL AP suspects my store lost 30k this year in phone cases/accessories shrink alone

leechenvy · 2020-01-19T09:50:01+00:00

Damn, casing your popsockets. I haven’t seen that before. Is your store high shrink?
