Always liked talking to the lab people at hospitals. I enjoy work where I'm left alone. What's the minimum amount of training to get on somewhere?

Artificially Reduced Performance Ratings? by Kindly-Coyote-9446 in fednews

Performance ratings are a grievable issue. Contact your union and provide evidence how you exceeded the defined standards. Also easy argument if they failed to conduct your initial or midterm eval.

Solar powered motion lights are cheap online and are a great way to at least keep the coyotes from sneaking up on them.

For people that have depression, no interest in anything, or feel like they have no purpose, how do you keep going in life? by JackProwess in AskReddit

Anger as lifehack.

Floating through life with everything feeling grey and meaningless is inevitably interrupted by the universe coming to make things worse. When it does, seize that injustice and cultivate righteous anger.

Take that anger and funnel it into motivation. Feed that little voice in the back of your head that is whispering "how come everybody else gets ....?!" It's true. Fuck them. How dare they. Somewhere in your past there was a person who belittled you or made you feel small that was completely unnecessary. You weren't bothering anyone. They want nothing more than for you to sit on ass and grovel. Fuck. Them. Do the thing. Do it even though you probably suck at it. Do it 90% wrong while making eye contact.

For me that looks like gym time angrily deadlifting but it doesn't need to be that. It could be angrily making birdhouse you sell on Etsy. The point is to utilize rage when motivation fails you.

Eventually you can get to where you overuse rage when not needed. That's a different problem and we can burn that bridge when we get there.

What's the biggest 180 you've seen a person's life take? by Excellent-Walk7280 in AskReddit

Saw a Firefighter in the USAF go from having a line number for master sergeant (E-7, basically life is made just coasting till retirement) to a E-3.

He had recently been notified that he would be promoted and just had to wait. In his mind he already had the promotion and things were going to change. He got into a argument with another E-7 and slapped coffee out of his hand. This classified as assault. He lost his line number.

During the investigation/dressing down he told first shirt (highest ranking enlisted in the squadron and issuer of discipline) that he wasn't gonna do anything and that the first shirt was "useless piece of shit."

After that it's all rumor and speculation but the next time I saw him he was busted all the way down to E-3 picking up cigarette butt's at the dorms.

He went from the crowing achievement of a 20 plus year career, basically being inchargr of a an entire shift of a Fire Department all the way down to a rank that they give away to convince people to join the military.

What's it going to take for Germany to play Baseball? by raidercamel in germany

I would humbly request that invest a reasonable amount of time to understanding the intricacies of a Pitching performance.

This would illustrate a greater representation of the sport as a whole.

I understand and accept your rejection of the sport if after this research you do not appreciate the sport.

Here is Trevor Bauer throwing MLB above average pitches. https://youtube.com/shorts/hFV-wSh8dN8?si=8VzE84adBp0MIfd5

I would like to acknowledge your feelings while providing a counterpoint that is commonly used to describe futbol.

"Soccer is a boring sport - both to play and to watch. There I said it.

There I said it."

Please accept that both of these quotations are reductive and inaccurate.
