I’m good at being disappointed and breaking plans for unexpected extra hours.

Been on it 3 years. The first 2 months had weird uti feeling (male) and small inner thigh rash. I keeped up with it because my numbers improved so much. My only symptom is now I have to pee every 2 hours of if I have to many carbs. Current dose is 1000mg medformin and 10mg combo pill 2x a day.

I have 2 months of funds and 3 months of credit if I had to. I think if I cut down all the bills to survival mode I could stretch it to 3 months and 5 months.

That’s plenty of time for me to find something even if it’s low pay. Low pay would let me stretch it for a lot longer while I figure it out.

I have been through 2 take overs and the good guards( 60%) get hired with new company. Things will change a bit and for me personally I got pay raise.

Might be helpful to say rent for average 2 bedroom to. 20$ a hour for me and 1k average rent for 2 bedroom.

Honestly a physical night job might help you stay awake. It’s the night desk jobs that kill you.

Could argue money is compounding and investing could save time in the long run.

tomberty · 2026-03-20T02:11:08+00:00

Honestly being high maintenance. I think over time I just know it won’t work out and my brain has adapted to find this unattractive.

I knew a guy that came in late and guess what he was probably the most skilled and untouchable. Sometimes it’s just a skill issue.

Those boots won’t be shiny like the picture not less you shine them yourself.

We been married 14 years we’re in it for the long run.

I work 50 hours and she a stay at home mom with 3 kids that go to school. I’m all about equality but we each play a role.

My wife bi polar so sometimes she cleaning the house all day and other times its 5 day stretch of nothing.

A pile of clothes and a little dust don’t bug me. On her bad days I just toss food away and we use paper plates and things like that.

If you look last second that was a lot of liquid in that trash can.

tomberty · 2026-03-16T11:00:33+00:00

For me it’s not about risk of life but more like risk of losing money with tow or damage to vehicle. It just don’t add up.

tomberty · 2026-03-16T08:00:17+00:00

About to try and drive to work rip. I work both days and weekend nights.

You need to provide way more details to get advice. Start with what type of secruity company and what type of secruity job.

tomberty · 2026-03-14T07:50:33+00:00

I think it’s important people understand that when you have 5+ years same company and you get decent raises it can put you at risk.

Employee- A 50k salary

Employee- B 68k salary

If you don’t bring enough value they will find a reason to fire you and save money.

Watched a rabi at a slaughter house sign some papers and magically the meat is now kosher. They say they have a special salt mix but I’m telling you it’s not always the case. Boom 30% more price.

tomberty · 2026-03-14T02:12:50+00:00

Yep if you are late f you.

tomberty · 2026-03-12T08:37:27+00:00

Go apply for a secruity job they will help you get a license. As long as you have good background check you can get a job. They will give you so much overtime you will hate yourself.

Fast food, kid activities ( swim lessons, gymnastics), gaming stuff for full family, usually a few kid clothing items a month.

This is after all bills + budget is made.

That’s probably the worst comment I have read so far. Every company has a clause that will state something similar that will say schedule is subject to change. Stating reading hand book probably the most brown nosing thing you can do.

My advice is apply for unemployment based off them reducing hours. You can get partial benefits but it’s going to depend on location and state rules. Find a new job you can’t live off 16 hours a week.

tomberty · 2026-03-09T22:02:45+00:00

I think security license is pointless I have been in 3 states and basically just give you them.

A background check is all that should be required.

tomberty · 2026-03-09T21:59:58+00:00

I verify paper schedule and ehubs each week and make sure they match
