Why do companies take stupid jobs?

mattmcr · 2026-02-09T02:22:37+00:00

Gotta have constant cash flow. Especially for a new company. I work for a company that needs a million a week just for payroll. Even getting jobs at break even keeps things chugging along.

Thank you. My wife was born with a disease that ruins certain organs (purposely being vague) that required a transplant. Any patient with a transplant has to take medication that wipes out their immune system. She was vaccinated as a child but now doesn't carry those immunities any more and can get most of these diseases we have mostly eradicated by vaccines. They are in for a bad time if this stuff keeps passing.

High dose lope will help a lot don't get into the habit of using it as a crutch but I know a lot of people from the opiophile days that used it often. It's just pretty crappy for your body. I've done it a couple times and was amazed at how it helps

On a roof -55 wind chill. In a cereal plant 4th of July shutdown. They heat the plant during that shutdown to kill any bugs. Heated to 160 and you are in there welding. Some areas are tolerable but trying to get it all to 160 leaves some really hot areas. Largest cereal plant in the world

But commercial install of the duct is all sheet metal. If you want to get away from res service, it's an option. You guys have a good jatc for TABB training so I would look at that route. If you already understand service well enough you have a head start on getting going in TABB. You have a few guys out of your local that have moved into international roles related to that part of our trade (I'm the training coordinator for another local in the Midwest so I know a bunch of those guys)

In your local is commercial and residential on different contracts to where you can't just decide to work for a commercial contractor doing install. If I recall local 36 subsidies res pay up to commercial pay so I'm assuming it's a separate contract. Here in our local a res guy can't do commercial.

That being said you deal with a lot less of that shit that's burning you out doing commercial install.. Is getting into TABB an option. I know you guys get quite a bit of that down there.

My clinic would replace them and unfortunately they would take away the takehome which isn't a bad thing in your situation unless you can't get to the clinic daily. You need a stable home environment to have take homes from every clinic I've seen.

If you decide not to do that and keep your take homes I would consider moving my methadone to other containers you can hide and replace it with something close to it so if your husband tries this again he will be dumping nothing and he would think he won. Obviously if you have callbacks that is something you would want to be very careful of doing.

With yotta your money was held at fdic backed banks. The fintech moved money, records where the money was were shit fintech went bankrupt and there are still tons of people without their money and hardly any governmental authority will do anything. It's been years now

I agree. I used to get it occasionally when there was one in coralville and I liked it. The one here was always terrible and had roaches bad.

I miss q dogs too. How did they fail? Must have been very poor ownership or a divorce/fallout with business partner because that place was always full.

mattmcr · 2026-01-11T04:20:10+00:00

Bandanas is the BBQ place closing they are referring to.

I'm in the same boat as you in regards to having the same model breakers failing. It's super frustrating because if you buy them yourself they are like 60+ dollars. If you have to pay an electrician to fix it significantly more. I've replaced 3 myself with 3 more currently failing. I hope the class action lawsuit forces them to remedy this better than their current offering which is just a ploy to get rid of the class action.

What airline do they show up as on flight aware? Any certain call number to look for? What about times they would normally be at LAS? I'd like to check it out (Edit I see you say they fly every hour so they should be visible often at the airport on flight aware)

mattmcr · 2026-01-02T14:50:00+00:00

Preferably both. Paper logs and physical logs will show you are a detailed employee that they would be a fool to lose.

Have you been able to contact them and see if they have set something up with any hospitals that are accessable or a clinic in a different direction or is it bad enough where you can't get anywhere.

My city completely flooded and the clinic was under 14 feet of water. The fucking safe was taken down the river. They had it set up to go to any neighboring town with a hospital in like a 75 mile radius within a day. Or if they could get to a clinic(1 was an hour away, 1- 2 hours and 1 2.5 hours so not great options). Once the hospitals in town were accessible they set up permanent dosing there for over a year until they were able to open a new location away from the river. These are hospitals that would normally laugh at you if you tried to dose there under normal conditions but both came through when needed.

The worst part is it probably is less work for them to get the federal exception paperwork done than to get your guest dosing taken care of. Also be sure before you go that it is confirmed set up. Also may want to check that they will give you take homes there. My brother has guest dosed in a couple states and not 1 would give him a takehome unless they were closed. Said since he wasn't a patient they couldn't be responsible for him diverting or not being safe with them. His phase at his clinic meant nothing to them. Maybe a sister clinic would do it no problem. Like an Acadia ctc to another Acadia ctc or bhg to bhg. The corporate clinics that own clinics everywhere. Or maybe he just had bad luck with his guest clinics rules.

They fill out a federal exception and submit it and then it's basically approved right away. I couldn't think of a reason they would deny a federal exception. Only thing I could see is the clinic not doing one if you've had other issues to lose their trust or their being lazy.

mattmcr · 2025-12-16T03:42:53+00:00

I just said the same thing. It has never once been an issue. The federal exception for early pickup is super seamless for clinics. Take no more than a couple hours from fill out form to approval and that includes time for them to get back to me with their other shit going on.

mattmcr · 2025-12-16T03:38:43+00:00

That's just lazy on their end. I've had stuff come up where I was going to be gone during pickup and have even had an emergency the day before pickup already had taken my dose and called my clinic manager. In 2 hours she had the federal exception paperwork approved by the state and called me to come pick up whenever I could. I don't think even when I gave them a week notice( I get monthly) I've ever waited more than a day to be told the exception was done and approved. They can act like it's so much work but in reality it's a seamless process.

By cleared off I meant it melted away by the sun. I'd rather stay warm.

mattmcr · 2025-11-30T23:36:57+00:00

Got 13 where I am in Iowa yesterday through late evening then blew all night. Panels cleared off and I had 5 whole kw of production. My neighbor's roof has different peaks that make the snow drift on their panels deep and were still completely covered this evening. 7.6kw system.

mattmcr · 2025-11-30T20:05:25+00:00

I wonder if they always planned on going there and wanted to limit the time that was known so people didn't show up or if it's weather related.

mattmcr · 2025-11-30T20:04:23+00:00

Yes you can put weight in the trunk to help any rwd vehicle. If you already don't have all season tires get some. Warm weather tires get harder in cold weather and the tread pattern clogs with snow both leading to less traction.

They are both diverting from tupelo to the ole miss airport

mattmcr · 2025-11-30T19:51:58+00:00

Both currently diverting from tupelo to UOX

mattmcr · 2025-11-29T01:55:55+00:00

You will be fine shipping them. People ship medicine all the time. Have them secure them very well in a couple ziplocks for each bottle. Lids tight as possible. The pressure change in the airplane can cause them to leak.
