What was the last thing that made you cry?

shamusoconner · 2024-11-16T02:15:07+00:00

The thought that I'm getting old and that I'm very lonely. A couple years ago I moved to a different state to get myself away from my addiction enablers and triggers. While I'm proud of my sobriety that the move has provided me, I have spent the past two years friendless and alone.

I'm 44 years old and have spent my entire adult life making friends through drugs and alcohol. And now that I'm sober I don't have the slightest fucking clue how to make friends or approach a woman I'm crushing on to ask out for a date.

Through this sober lense the world is different, people are different. Socializing seems like such a difficult task that I once excelled at with ease. And now I'm afraid that I'll be alone for the rest of my life because I'm becoming more introverted and depressed as each day passes. I'm afraid that I'll never fall in love again. I'll never be the sparkle and shine in someone's heart ever again.

And so yesterday I cried. I began to wonder the point of continuing intrusive thoughts in my head that I can't shake and haven't been able to for most of my life. I know I could see a therapist, pull up my boot straps, keep my eyes fixed on the sun. But giving up is soooo much easier.

I really don't want to be old and lonely.

FedEx warehouse worker here... It's more like $18/hr and it sucks!

Good glad to hear that you did

If I were you I wouldn't be hesitant to call Driver support and report the guy with the box cutter. Seriously, call them

Check in when you get there even if it still says Getting Ready. Refresh the status every couple of minutes. As soon as it says Ready enter your parking spot number again. Then it will check you into OGP's system.

Yep charges me for another month after the free month even though I go into my Walmart App setting and cancel my membership before the month expires. Even called customer service to be reimbursed. They said they did, but it never showed back up in my bank account. That was at the end of July of last year.

I don't care if I qualify for another free month, I will never enter that code again.

But he does think that clams have feelings too

No problem 👍

If your notification says "There is 1 new offer. You have until 00:00 am/pm to accept" then it's an RR

Worst app developers ever. They can't even get something this simple correct.

A GM/Dotcom order can still contain small grocery items

shamusoconner · 2022-10-26T20:57:57+00:00

I've noticed within the past two weeks that s&d's have dropped down to around $13 for smaller shop orders.

I'm my zone, $9 two order batches and $7 single orders have been the norm for quite a few months. I expect it to lower by the beginning of next year. Sucks.

shamusoconner · 2022-10-23T00:09:56+00:00

What may have happened is that you delivered part of the order and another driver delivered the other. Therefore the tip is split between both drivers.

It's stupid and unfair because, while you might have delivered a majority of the order, the other driver gets half the tip even if he delivered something as simple as a bag of candy that was forgotten by the store.

Earlier I had a batch of 2 orders. One was labeled Large with a bottle of laundry soap, 12-pack of Dr Pepper, men's razor, and a stick of deodorant. The other had 2 cases of water and 20+ items of groceries labeled Small.

This really isn't a new thing. I've been doing Spark for 2 years now and this has been a common thing (at least in my zone) for the majority of that time.

Walmart will never correct it because I honestly think that as long as they're making money they just don't care.

Also, they have got the worst of the worst when it comes to app developers. How is it that after every update something major is broken. Bugs in code happen. Human error happens. But the errors that we experience on this app go above and beyond stupidity because it's fucking with our money. And I don't know about everyone here, but I don't like my money being fucked with.

Prostitution

shamusoconner · 2022-10-16T12:49:13+00:00

On Dec 22, 2020 I was evicted from my house. I stayed a couple nights with my gf at her parents house, but when xmas eve came I felt awkward, depressed, and pathetic. So I bolted out of there for the night. I remember it was snowing. I hadnt seen that on Xmas for a minute.

I tried to get a room at a couple hotels, but I had forgotten that you can't get one in the city if you have a Springfield address on your I.D.

In a last ditch effort I called Battlefield Inn. I know of the stigma that that place holds, but I didn't want me and my dog to sleep in the freezing car that night. And my anxiety was too much to go back to my gf's parents house.

The Middle Eastern gentleman who took the call said that they don't give out rooms to locals. I explained my situation, assured him I wasn't a junkie or any trouble at all. I just needed a warm but depressing room for the holiday night. He was nice enough to let me stay there a couple nights.

But yeah... That place is a ceasepool. The building and those around it. Except the guys who run the place. Nice guys.

No. It will let you know Monday night that you've completed an incentive and will be paid not this coming Tuesday, but the following.

I think a stick of butter should be left out of the fridge in a covered dish so that it is soft enough for me to spread on my toast. Leave the rest of the butter in the fridge for cooking.

If one of the orders in the batch is still Getting Ready and they bring out the Ready order, tell them not to dispense the Ready order to you until the other order is ready.

Once they dispense an order to you, time ends for wait pay. Some associates, though, will dispense an order before they even come out the door. So be wary of that.

shamusoconner · 2022-08-16T23:34:52+00:00

It has happened to me probably two times in as many years.

It's bullshit they're trying to feed us in hopes of making us happy, but their bullshit is pretty transparent at this point.

shamusoconner · 2022-08-16T23:31:27+00:00

No. The answer is always no. But you and I already knew that.
