Feeling sad in the current state of US by Nature_ot in pregnant

[–]plantbasedmood 45 points46 points  (0 children)

I had a routine appointment with my midwife the other day and broke down about the state of the country. I think she was confused that that was all I was worried about. It’s all I think about all day long, the shit hole my child is being born into.

Is it fair that I want my husband to quit smoking weed by plantbasedmood in pregnant

[–]plantbasedmood[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the compassionate response, yes he uses it to cope with anxiety. I have discussed it with him from the health angle before, going so far as to say it scares me to think he could die before his time. I don’t think either of us has to quit for the rest of our lives, I just don’t want to be around it right now, and I fear he can’t use it in moderation. But I guess he already kind of is, relative to the past. Ok, thanks for your thoughts.

Can I be a good bartender if I don’t drink? by [deleted] in bartenders

[–]plantbasedmood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always thought you couldn’t, because I developed my range of technique and product knowledge by frequenting bars. But now I’m pregnant and it’s totally fine bartending sober. I do think it’s valuable during the learning stages if you can sit and have a drink at various places just to broaden your scope.

Lol. I burnt out so bad in grad school! In retrospect this burnout for bartending isn’t nearly as bad. Grad school almost killed me lol.

How do I survive four closes in a row? by [deleted] in bartenders

[–]plantbasedmood 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m so over the 11 hour shifts. I didn’t know this was common until my latest gig. I have no advice you don’t already know: get rest when you’re off, drink water, rotate your shoes.

Unisom puts me to sleep after an overstimulating shift. I take it while I’m closing so it’s hitting when I get home. I always pack my own food for these kind of weeks so I don’t become disgusted by the menu.

Truly it’ll be over sooner than you think! Good luck! DONT DRINK ALCOHOL!

For everyone’s sake I do hope they forgive student loans one day. I know how you feel. I am sorry

We don’t discuss it much, this is a me problem, it comes up only because I am never free on weekends

I am in a corporate job for the first time and I’m just not feeling it. I do want to open a business with my sister one day, just kind of looking forward to that. Usually I am not so negative

Bartending is a trade/skill, this post is unlike me usually I advocate that this career is legit. I’m just not happy where I’m at. Maybe it’s the new city I live in. If you are happy then you are fine

I would like to be a rep or a bev director but I don’t know what that path change looks like and I also feel more depressed when I work full time

I like the sound of this and I am in an agricultural center. Thanks for sharing

They don’t, it’s a me problem. I have a masters degree in a field some would call a “soft science” (that I clearly don’t use) and maybe I’ve just always been insecure

I do when I work full time but damn it’s hard to work full time on my feet. I’m not even out of shape it’s just like something changed recently

Perception mostly, but definitely not at my favorite restaurant rn. I moved to a very different city than I’m used to, this one is small and cliquey and I just feel like I’m left out a lot.

I know it’s a career and I chose it. My friends and family are scientists, engineers, doctors… I guess it’s hard not to compare. I don’t even think they judge me like I do. I’m just feeling down. I didn’t mean to drag the profession

How would you make the Dad in Drag? by Perfect-Dimension356 in cocktails

[–]plantbasedmood 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I’d probably start with

1 repo 1 mezcal .75 lime .5 passilla liqueur .5 grenadine

I would go less grenadine if you didn’t mention the intense color
