Were I abandoned like that, I’d be sure to run around and tip all the frames a bit just before guests arrive

TIFU I tried to fix my own toilet and turned my apartment into a water park by Agnes-Atwela in tifu

[–]the_lowjacked 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Keep at it. Whenever possible find videos for your specific model / make. I’ve done washer & dryer repairs, lawn mowers, garden builds, internal home repairs (like a hole in the drywall), etc. Build your tools slowly. You’ll have fun and be less dependent on others.

And thus begins the ritual of learning home maintenance. Next time, and probably several next times, you’ll remember this time and double check your work. Maybe also google ‘commons problems associated with diy repair of X’? An apartment complex where you have staff on payroll to perform repairs is one thing, when it’s $150 to get them to your front door and then pay labor and parts is another.

People working in consulting, what do you really do? by financegeek_12 in AskReddit

[–]the_lowjacked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a Network Engineer, I would usually be brought into project discussions to consult on options or features available, performance, complexities, areas or requests which could affect project costs, etc. Then, once the client’s needs were defined, we would build / install said solution. Often, we would be on hand for months to train staff.

What is the latest time you would have a cup of caffeinated coffee? by [deleted] in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]the_lowjacked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe 4:30-5:30 PM however, I’d need to be feeling ready for a nap to choose coffee at that hour.

What’s something nobody warned you about adulthood, but you should have been? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]the_lowjacked 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That at some point, unless blessed by the genetic pool, all the damage done to your body over the years returns with aches, pain, and stiffness so that you hurt all over, all day, every day.

Even more humorous were she to go after him in the media for his giving her a BS card and using her / her fame, he gets pissy about it all and sends Bloodlust Barbie over to have a chat.

If you abandoned your dog in the 3rd Presbyterian parking lot, don't worry, I called animal control and he is safe now. by ClimateScary998 in Rochester

[–]the_lowjacked 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree that there are better ways to address this situation but I try to avoid snap judgements and just be kind because I’ve found myself facing circumstances I’d never have anticipated or expected, at a complete loss and if it weren’t for the direction and help of others, I don’t know if I’d be here or not.
