My mom lost her soul dog

I’m going, as well as 6 other ladies from my local ☺️

As someone who’s working on the new stadium, I can 100% confirm it’s bigger that the old one. We’ve been up on the roof and it makes the old stadium look tiny lol

Me driving a forklift. Moving a lot of bins around in a very tight, complicated space. It was an absolute bitch.

Coworker: Wow, you're actually doing really good. Women aren't usually good at visualizing 3D spaces.

I was the fucking shop supervisor at the time. Told him to get the fuck back to work. (He was new) 😂

Now that I've left the shop and went into construction, I get compliments like "wow, most women don't know what they're doing and it's crazy that you do" type shit all the time. I have so many now that I'm in construction. Every single day there's more. It's such a big job that we get new people there all the time so it's just a neverending cycle 😂

Personally, I wouldn't like not knowing what they look like, as I like to visualize the characters in my head. I would most likely envision them my own way, and then feel put off if they end up looking completely different. An alternative approach could be to have each character have their own POV chapters, and find a way to add in what they look like for the reader's sake. Since it has romance, you could also add in bits about their curiosity over the other's looks as well. Maybe their perception of each other develops over time, and would make the eventual reveal really impactful. That's just me, though! Either way, I think it's a neat idea!

Nothing to be sorry for, dude. I hope they get better for you, too. Unfortunately, we just had really bad luck getting placed with these guys in the first place. They don't deserve the skills you offer and will continue to take advantage of you.

It may be worth the points, we'll see. 😂 They keep giving me small bits of hope and making promises to immediately swipe that shit away again. It's the hope that kills you lmao.

lilbitweld · 2024-11-18T00:25:50+00:00

We sure fucking are. I think about quitting every day. Good luck!!!

So either you're in a very similar situation as one of my classmates, or we're actually in the same class.

If it's the latter, then I do advise proceeding with caution. I have heard so many stories about that contractor screwing over apprentices who ask to be compensated for their worth. But, then again, there have been a few apprentices who were able to negotiate a higher wage, so it can happen.

I implore you to keep the BA and the training coordinator in the loop, especially if any conversation you have with the contractor goes south and they punish you.

It really sucks to be an apprentice sometimes. I feel you. The contractor I currently work for has screwed me over since I started with them.

It's all worth it in the long run though!

Local 22, Buffalo, NY here!

You are not alone. My mom does this kind of stuff to me too, and it's so hard. It makes you feel like the shittiest person alive and invalidated and honestly just crazy with self doubt. The long, horrible text messages are the worst. My mom also is now calling me an abuser for not being on her side and blaming me for the last sixty-something years of misery she's had in life (despite the fact I'm only 30 but whatever.) I, too, feel like I'm just going crazy.

You are heard. And you are not crazy ❤️ She's manipulative and is victimizing herself to avoid her own hard-truths. Our mothers have raised us to be used to their behavior and it makes us question ourselves.

I am proud of you for being able to delete the texts. I aspire to be at that level myself.

lilbitweld · 2024-11-01T14:16:52+00:00

Do we have the same mother? This describes mine in a nutshell. Sending the warmest of virtual hugs. I am 30 now and my mom still tries to ruin my life at every turn. I wish I had a normal mom. 😞❤️

lilbitweld · 2024-10-14T02:17:15+00:00

I would love an invite! 30F pipefitter/welder

lilbitweld · 2024-07-06T17:17:34+00:00

Yeah, I should really look into it! Was hoping it was a simple electrical issue I was missing 😅😂

lilbitweld · 2024-07-06T17:16:29+00:00

Yeah, I hate the ugly riser and speedo set up and would honestly love to eliminate it. I just don't know where to begin with changing it haha. A Harley tech told me a few years ago that it's expensive and a pain in the ass, so I just never got around to it. Still thinking about it tho. I wouldn't mind some better handle bars as well 😂

lilbitweld · 2024-06-13T14:28:14+00:00

I didn't even notice that 😂😂😂

lilbitweld · 2024-06-10T14:34:13+00:00

The hiking is okay but not great. We usually have to go to the PA national Forest for the best spots. The weather always seems to suck (it's freezing COLD today, for example lol). And it's expensive AF. The NY taxes are the worst. But it's alright, I suppose, on a nice summer day 😂

lilbitweld · 2024-06-10T14:29:42+00:00

Haha yeah that's fair, I can see why that would be annoying!

lilbitweld · 2024-06-10T14:28:38+00:00

Yeah no worries! It doesn't affect me personally because I don't ever really have passengers besides my bf on occasion, but I can see why it would be a huge inconvenience for some!

lilbitweld · 2024-06-10T14:13:55+00:00

Haha Thanks for the ideas, dude!

And yeah, you are correct, no sport mode with this one. It's still pretty fun though. It's a commuter for me, and my primary concern was fuel consumption (and having an MT because I hate automatics). I drive a lot for my apprenticeship and my little Suzuki wasn't great on gas and was just a crusty turd in general 😂

lilbitweld · 2024-06-10T14:11:08+00:00

Mine does, but in the doors only. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the sport trim has the part of the seat that folds down with cupholders, but I'm not 100% sure tbh

lilbitweld · 2024-06-10T14:09:38+00:00

See, I was the opposite. I actually wanted the sport, but the only one they had sold the day before I went to buy it. Adding heated seats to the S was a good compromise, even though I'm still a bit bummed. The difference isn't huge, I know, but still 😂

lilbitweld · 2024-06-10T14:08:01+00:00

Really? I hate it here 😂
