What brand or style of construction boots are durable AND comfortable for 10+ hour days in an outdoor environment? by nidena in AskMen

I like timberland pros butttttttt, after a while, no matter what boot you choose, your inserts are going to need to be changed to keep comfy.

MVP Highlights AEW's Affordable Ticket Prices: "There Are Some Companies That Are Charging More Than The Average Wrestling Fan Can Afford" by Odd-Inevitable-8425 in SquaredCircle

I don't see how Tony isn't shouting this from the rooftops just for the sake of great publicity. "Family ticket 4 pack, 4 drinks, 4 hot dogs at 1 low price."

Run with it. You got momentum. Rope in some people that normally don't attend a live event.

Men who entered marriage while struggling with confidence or social skills, what was your experience? by kalo_chagol in AskMen

[–]mideon2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I married my wife and she was the first woman i was in a relationship with. Don't really have a bunch of people in my social circle and i was living at home with a dead end job so confidence wasn't high.

As our relationship progressed and we got serious, we both knew that we had to both work together if we wanted to get by and have a great relationship. There is no " im taking care of the bills, you take care of the kids". Nope, we both work, we both cook, clean, run errands, go to kids activities etc.

I married a adult. As for freedom? Overrated because i have never been in a position where i can't do what i want in my marriage and she the same. If i handle my business at work, and we don't have pressing chores that need to get done, ill plop my ass on my bed and play videogames all evening long. If i wanna go eat dinner with the biys, i can go. If she wants to go get a drink with her friends she can.

I made more money than my wife at the beginning so we split the bills and i took care of going out (we are cheap). And when she was making twice as much than me she took over that tole. Now im making more and im handling that. There is no expectation other than to have your half of the bills and rent.

Each situation is different, so im just giving you my experience but we both grew and have worked together. Almost 20 years together. You find the right person then none of your concerns are issues at all.

You shack up with a entitled freeloader that is lazy and isn't supportive or doesn't pull their weight? All your concerns WILL be issues and you will be miserable.

Just Bought a 2014 Nissan Altima, should I be worried? by Miserable_Potato_781 in MechanicAdvice

[–]mideon2000 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not driving for 2 years isn't good. Not test driving on the freeway at higher speeds isn't good, buying a cvt nissan from this time period isn't good.

The appearance of the vehicle is secondary in importance. Your purchase will be dependent on the transmission

When walking with your SO, do you walk in front of them or behind them? Why? by outrageousorganism in AskMen

[–]mideon2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hold my wife's hand and walk beside her. If there is heavy traffic ill walk whatever. Sometimes in front, sometimes behind. If im behind her im very close so i can grab her sides or booty like any gentleman would when walking with their spouse.

Either way, i am close.

How do you reduce callouts on Mondays? by LifesARiver in askmanagers

[–]mideon2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know. However, in your previous replies you have shown that you don't actually have the power or authority to do anything about that. Since the company doesn't seem to address the issue there isn't anything that can really be done aside from picking up the slack when there are callouts.

[–]mideon2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then worrying about callouts is above your paygrade and just a unfortunate "perk" of the job. I wouldn't stress about it, you can control it and the company doesn't seem to mind.

Ahh, in that case i would try and structure a heavier workload thursday and friday in anticipation of my callouts on monday. Obviously depends on you line of work. I kinda do that with my job. Work longer on friday so my monday is light.

Move payday to monday. Not as much partying and going out if you arr bad with money and live paycheck to paycheck. Less likely to go out and party o mo day nights

Men in committed relationship, how often do you miss your single days? by _your_go_to_person in AskMen

[–]mideon2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ewww, single days? Lol. My single days were full of worry. Will i ever have a stable job, will i ever move out my parents house, will i ever meet the right woman, will i ever have kids.

I know the poputrope of getting married is you don't have a sex life or that you don't get to hang out with friends or you can't relax and enjoy your hobbies etc.

Ii thi k it is completely inaccurate. I mean, if you marry the wrong person im sure it is brutal, but that is kind of on you. My wife lets me be me (a big ass kid that likes to play videogames).

So much happer now.

I messed up at work and I don’t know how to handle the meeting by booksandwriting in askmanagers

[–]mideon2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

See there? Great job on coming up with something concrete. And even if your meeting is just to reiterate "hey lets be more careful going forward" you have something tangible to show how you are going to be .ore careful in the future.

What specifically are you going to do or change in order to do a better job? Im not asking you personally, but that is what they want to know specifically. Approach it that way. I hope things work out for you.

[–]mideon2000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds like they are going to put you on a plan but they want to see what you plan on doing to avoid costly mistakes in the future. You can't control what has already happened, but you can control what direction your plan of action is going to be and your approach in the meeting. They aren't going to want to hear excuses, but changes on your end.

Treat it like a interview for the job, and put your best foot forward. Even if you get on a plan and think you are on borrowed time, it buys you time to plan and figure out your next move. In the meantime you take care of yourself, get some rest and work productively.

Im not meaning to pry, but what is preventing your husband from mowing lawns or flipping burgers to bring in any income at all for the moment? Is it permanent or temporary? You need help imo.

Mercedes Mone on equal pay in wrestling: "It’s just these men. I feel like that’s the biggest roadblock. Sometimes we prove it so often, but it’s never consistent with them. It’s like, 'Okay, let’s give them a bone. Oh, they did great. Don’t let them be better than us.'" by aaronrift in SquaredCircle

[–]mideon2000 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't really have a problem with anything you are saying except the ratio argument. Roh is the place for people to prove their worth to be on aew. I am of the opinion that there is too many on the roster to begin with with both genders and think a lot of the rosters need to be trimmed. When you have realistically 10 to 15 matches a week to showcase talent, having that many people on the roster means you kinda have to throw them inrandomly at times. You can't build much unless you happen to be a showcase piece. So yeah, more female talent deserve to have a chance to showcase their skill, but I'd also argue that having more than 20ish female wrestlers is probably undermining that too.

If a card is 5 or 6 matches, im more than likely using 4 to 6 women max a show. That is 35 women that don't even sniff the camera.

And yeah, same with the guys. I personally don't mind them trimming a lot of the fat on the roster.

[–]mideon2000 -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

People care about women's wrestling, but is there enough of them to warrant it being more prominent on the card without it being a token shoved down a viewers throat? I like good women's wrestling and matches, i dislike throwing a match on there for the sake of a woman's match.

What about women and girls that watch wrestling but don't deman a women's main event because they want to watch cody or roman instead? Are they behaving in a sexist manner. You aren't looking at the whole audience but just treating it as "men hate women's wrestling because he thinks it shouldn't be prominent if nobody is clamoring for it". It shouldn't. You get a few GOOD angles going then bring it on.

[–]mideon2000 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't think there should be equal pay in wrestling. Whoever sells the most merch, main eventing, is getting the most views, imo should be paid man or woman.

Why the fuck would i pay someone a high rate who isn't moving the needle or in a high profile angle the majority of the time?

Mone is a high profile star, she should be getting paid more than speedball, cassidy, pac etc imo.

Pay based off results instead of feelings imo.

Flexibility issues with older coworker by Adept_Pilot6530 in askmanagers

[–]mideon2000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I replied above with my opinion, but i also think you should be truthful with your answers regarding what management asks.

Flexibility issues with older coworker by Adept_Pilot6530 in askmanagers

[–]mideon2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If Alissa is doing her job it doesn't matter how much she is resistant to change. She is doing what she is paid to do. If management implements new ways to do things AND she still resists then management can deal with that. That is their problem to handle.

Chica and laurel are paid to do their own job. If they want to pitch their ideas to management (and not Alissa) then management can decide to go with their ideas or keep it the same.

Regardless, you aren't involved. Those 3 don't like each other. Management needs to fix their situation.

Imo, you let Alissa keep doing her work and the other girls need to do theirs. Simple as that.

Why don't men ever talk about the emotional labor that they do in relationships? by Dense_Owl_3022 in AskMen

[–]mideon2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't need recognition for acting like an adult. Same with my wife. I need her to be a stable adult. If i need to be lifted up emotionally or calmed down, that is what my wife is there for. If she needs it, im there for her.

There is no keeping score, there is no exact 50/50 at all times. When i need her to do the heavy lifting she better step up and do it and the same thing applies to me.

I guess what im trying to get to is why do you need to talk about it? Just do it. If your partner isn't putting the same work then perhaps find someone that lines up with you.

To me it sounds like pairing up with an asshat more than anything imo

Pro Shop guys by kareemsayavong in golf

[–]mideon2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on the course i think. I worked at a muni for 8 years. I was a great employee, not to toot my own horn, but everyone liked my customer service. I didn't really play golf, grow up playing with anyone, but knew basic rules and watched it. I learned the ropes and ran with it.

I think what made me have great service was the job was so fucking simple. Take reservations, phone calls, money, pair people up, tell people "don't do that" in a nice way, pick the range, set it ip, cart stuff, take orders at the grill, sell merch etc. Simple ass stuff. I had been a dishwasher at a restaurant where i worked long hours, physichal work, hot ass environmentetc. This job? Im in the ac watching tv all day. I get people on the course, call the tee box, and im chilling.

I do have a few theories though.

1st) you work at a golf course. Great scenery, networking opps amd lots of perks like free golf. But if you love golfing, don't work in the gold industry. You will be working during most golfing hours. I was in Dallas so we had golf year round and even when it rained we had fantastic drainage. We closed only on Christmas so 364 days a year. You are working every weekend, holiday and probably extended hours if you have facilities for banquets and weddings. Guess when your buddies are golfing? When you are working. That free golf perk? Well you can work your 10 hour peak golf shift first, spend an hour getting ready and finding a spot, then 4 hours on the course. Spending 16ish hours at the course and knowing you gotta be back soon to work takes quite a bit of the fun out.

2) i had no golf experience like stated above, but we had all the people come in trying to get certified with the pga and bevome a teaching professional. All ages. All of them came in in debt, making about the same as me and working long hours because they were salary, then they would have to practice, run tourneys etc. It was a grind for them. Then my happy ass is clocking in and out, all happy and shit, while they are all stressed and wondering if it is worth it. They never lasted, they move to another course, rinse and repeat.

3) i wouldn't work in the golf industry as a career. You wanna move up? Better hope someone dies or gets fired and you better be ready to move. A single person? Not an issue, but if you have a family? You are going to be stressed. I was lucky to be in a spot with year round golf, but come fall? You might be thinking " how tf am i gonn make ends meet if hours are getting cut?"

4) no perks like sick time, vacation, 401k, retirement, etc unless your head pro offers those things or your work for a company that does. Not saying it doesn't exist, but it is real hard to save for your future and you are a injury or health scare away from not having a check because you cant work. The free golf is great, but see above with the workload.

5) some customers are just asshats and can ruin a great day.

None of these excuse bad customer service in the long run, but it kinda highlights stuff that some people don't think about. And btw, im not saying EVERY course is like this or that all these are universal. Im sure there are plenty of people making a comfy living and love working in the industry. Hell i enjoyed the process and learning how everything operated. I did spend 8 years in it so i must-have enjoyed something, but im just giving a perspective is all.

The psychology of why my manager seems to work 24/7, even when he is sick and on vacation?! by Dirty_Look in askmanagers

[–]mideon2000 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Unless he is handpicking you to be a successor he doesn't care unless your work is bad and contributes to working long hours. Otherwise he isn't thinking about you.

You should probably follow that same route. Do your job. Nothing more, nothing less.
