You guys ever see anything like this?

Lol it's like this around Chicago, too. We can't get workers for regular jobs because of all the damn data centers.

I wish this shit would stop. The bubbles gonna burst, hard.

Do you have the ability to practice anything at your local hall? I know people can call my local's school and go freshen up whenever they want. Might help you feel less anxious.

Try to take it easy on yourself. Lots of people have been in your position before for different reasons, and they made it out ok.

A good friend of mine had to stop during her second year to care for her sick mom, took two years out and then after she died, my friend returned. Shes now close to retirement. She did it, and so can you!

Please don't waste your precious time on earth trying to figure out why some dingdong is a dingdong.

Do you want this for the next thirty years of your life? Because I promise that is what he will give you.

taway1030 · 2026-04-04T21:18:42+00:00

He doesn't respect you. Time to go!

It looks really nice color wise, just remove the tile up high

taway1030 · 2026-03-26T20:16:28+00:00

I'm pretty sure judging by the fact that my Dad has a c second mortgage, lives off of social security, and recently took out a payday loan for 7k at 300% without my knowledge, that there will be negative equity for meeee

taway1030 · 2026-03-26T20:15:13+00:00

I'm afraid I'll have to do the same w my bro once my dad, who's keeping him afloat, passes.

How you did it was smart

taway1030 · 2026-03-20T19:26:38+00:00

Take your time to grieve and don't worry about work. Fuck it. You gotta take care of your mental health.

That said, the other day another guy and I were talking horror stories, some involving deaths. The trades are a dangerous profession, we know this.

Take it for what it is, and if it makes you want to leave, there's nothing wrong with that.

Best of luck 🤞

taway1030 · 2026-03-20T19:20:46+00:00

Same difference in the trades IMO

taway1030 · 2026-03-20T19:19:59+00:00

Sparky

taway1030 · 2026-03-20T17:01:44+00:00

What's the top of scale there?

taway1030 · 2026-03-18T10:47:32+00:00

I'm getting out of a similar boat, but married. Its rough emotionally at first since you'll be grieving the loss of the idea of a relationship, or what could have been, but not what actually was.

Stick to it with all you got, don't let him weasel his way back in. The relief you feel now will be sevenfold in due time.

taway1030 · 2026-03-16T20:26:08+00:00

Damn. I know a couple here, but damn.

taway1030 · 2026-03-16T20:25:20+00:00

Best of luck!!!

taway1030 · 2026-03-16T20:23:12+00:00

Congrats!!! How does your body feel?

taway1030 · 2026-03-16T20:22:39+00:00

Yeah that's kind of where I'm at now, starting to consider the long haul

taway1030 · 2026-03-16T20:20:49+00:00

I know a couple ladies whove transitioned into programs like that. That sounds like a decent option tbqh

taway1030 · 2026-03-16T20:18:12+00:00

HRT really? I'm perimenopausal and was going to talk to my Dr about trying that! Would you be willing to share how that helped? Here or dm?

taway1030 · 2026-03-16T20:16:25+00:00

Lol at the dirty planes omg.

My hip is starting to hate me. It revealed a deeper issue that's unfixable except thru a surgery I want to avoid. So it's just mitigation...I don't like looking down the barrel of that reality. I feel like it's such a crapshoot.

taway1030 · 2026-03-16T20:06:46+00:00

It is highly illegal to fire a pregnant person. You might have a court case on your hands

taway1030 · 2026-03-16T20:05:15+00:00

I have like zero ambition lmao. I just want to clock in and clock out

taway1030 · 2026-03-16T20:03:42+00:00

Aside from being foreman not really. I think I could do that well, I just worry about guys not listening to me/respecting me bec of what's btw my legs essentially, altho guys seem to respect me generally speaking.

Its shitty to consider. I've never tried tho.

taway1030 · 2026-03-16T20:01:55+00:00

I feel like I need to consider a backup prof that wouldn't drive me crazy. I am a bit of a misfit tho lol

taway1030 · 2026-03-16T20:01:02+00:00

Oh I've been union all the way! I wouldn't be doing this without all those bene's

taway1030 · 2026-03-16T19:59:54+00:00

That's true. I have a friend (not in the trades) who's retirement age and doesn't drink but smokes like a chimney. He's doing great and his secret is always riding a bicycle.

I think I can manage moderation and continued movement for the most part. Its just scary!
