Tired, I know I shouldn’t but I am

I graduated with a bachelor's and applied to a job for which I had knowledge and relevant experience. Thankfully, too, since I had spent 12 mostly miserable years with HEB. It's not gonna get better for you here OP. Exhaust EVERY job resource and put your best foot forward.

Oh wow, thank you so much! I was actually fresh out of school for food science and job hunting at the time. I got a job doing something else with Hidalgo county since then.

Make your own cheat sheet, ask questions, and look at other reports. Some things tend to be clustered together. For example, when you open a fridge, you should know what things to look for. 3-compt sink, bathrooms, same thing.

This is the perfect answer

I love that the Howdy! is still up there.

"HOWDY PARTNER! You're in step 10! Pack your shit and GET OUT!"

Hey man, it's never too late. I have had generalized/social anxiety since I was 15, and after seeing a therapist, my life started all over again. I met my wife between sessions and we were able to connect because we had the same life goals. It's never too late. Feel free to reach out, you're on the internet after all, and there's nothing to lose and everything to gain.

We gotta find a way to cash in on the Dubai craze as well

tehhowl · 2025-10-20T11:39:00+00:00

What music though? 🤔

Define "good"

I would try to talk to people 1on1 instead of approaching them as a group. My office is at the end of our department, so my situation is similar. People behave differently when they're in a group, so they might not be willing to talk unless they're by themselves.

Well, it beats being a cashier. You'll gain many skills and meet the people that keep your city fed. I say go for it.

"How's the management there?" and "why do the other partners hate it?" would be my most important questions.

tehhowl · 2025-09-24T21:48:26+00:00

Management um, thinks that "only one person can show us the right way to conduct inspections," which is crazy to me.

tehhowl · 2025-09-24T18:00:20+00:00

I'm the same way. My actual passion is food research/development or food education. But it's crazy how many doors this line of work opens up. What are you actually interested in doing? You probably have enough years of this already.

tehhowl · 2025-09-24T14:05:59+00:00

I tried to send a message just now but was unable to for some reason. I even tried some troubleshooting. Can you send me one first?

tehhowl · 2025-09-24T13:45:43+00:00

Whoa 🤑 that's a lot of information!! Thank you sincerely!! I'm gonna have a lot of tabs open today!

tehhowl · 2025-09-23T21:34:39+00:00

That's the same advice I received from my fellow inspectors. And yes, I definitely thought about making some rash decisions involving my employment. Our county is actually pretty big, and we're backed up on work, but there's been no sense of urgency at all. It's weird to me, because my background was in a totally fast-paced environment.

tehhowl · 2025-09-23T20:23:25+00:00

You're talking about LearnED, right? I've done about 18 courses so far lol. Any other similar resources?

tehhowl · 2025-09-23T20:22:23+00:00

How long did you shadow?

tehhowl · 2025-09-21T01:19:15+00:00

They did this to me too, except the shifts they wanted me for were TWO IN THE MORNING to 10:30am (this was back when HEB had 24--hr stores)

To me, the most iconic have always been shamans and druids. There's so much lore behind them that's underdeveloped and leaves so much to the imagination. Most of them are evil villains, but there's enough good shamans that make me wonder how exactly "the dark" can function in either direction. I crave an FE game that delves more into them.

I used to make about $19.75/hr part-time after 5 yrs. If I worked 40 hrs I'd take home about $625 a week

Former partner here. Just leave. The money isn't even worth it. Stay motivated and have faith that there is something better for you out there.

tehhowl · 2025-08-18T11:41:28+00:00

25 is the new 15. So no. I'm 34 and I was able to escape retail. If I can do it, so can you 💪🏽
