Hi I'm looking for work I've got recent construction experience but I can't go back to work for heavy lifting hazards in construction work but I can do many other things I worked in restaurants for about 20 years in the BOH and I'm not going back to restaurants any time soon, I hope,.

My question is does anyone have experience in this role of broadcasting Master Control Supervisor, I see an add that said they'll train the right person, I'm 42 in my life I've learned they'll train the right person can mean many different things. Let me know thanks.

Hi everyone I hope this post is allowed. I'm not a server but I worked in restaurants for twenty years, mostly as BOH employee. I got sick over the two decades from a number of different things from favorite games from managers and owners to work place harassment both sexual and non sexual harassment, micro management and assault.

I have worked in construction for three years extremely happy to work as a professional with other professionals, I have seen some stupid thing in construction how ever when it's any one of the things I listed about terrible things I've experienced in restaurants the construction jobs I've had have next to zero tolerance so if they aren't fired on the spot the first time they are put on thin ice in terms of employment at least when it comes to workers there was one bad owner that constantly screwed everyone on OT and this caused us to loose future contracts as a result of missing completion deadlines.

Any how last year about 16 month ago I had a non work related injury I broke my elbow and I can't return to the construction job I had it's going to be at least another year of recovery and strength building regaining muscle mass and strength before I can consider going back to the brutal heavy lifting and carrying of construction.

So recently I went back into restaurants after 9 months of applying for non restaurant jobs I can do with my one temporary handicap arm, not getting hired at any of the businessess I applied for and got interviews. So I started applying for restaurant jobs again even though I know better. I ended up getting hired at a Japanese restaurant as a dishwasher/ prep cook. The person that was in charge of showing me the ropes is a micro manager he could not leave me alone if his time was not required somewhere by his boss, this idiot had tried to force me to put bleach in the dishwater and in the silverware tub that the servers or bussers put the silverware in separately from plates and cups, on the first day he told me to put bleach and soap together I told him no that isn't not effective and it's dangerous too, he didn't give a shit at all along with my 20 years of restaurant experience effectively giving me expert level knowledge on safe productive production with a standard of quality control in high volumes in a timely manner with a high standard in quality control giving the costumers a consistent dinning experience of quality to their meals along with consistent quality of service.

One day this dude mixed about 5-6 ounces of bleach the commercial household Clorox brand liquid bleach into a metal 6" six pan then put about two cup of purple color concentrated floor detergent ammonia based into the six pan with bleach then added liquid dawn brand extreme grease remover formula blue color and top it off with water the got a metal scrub pad and used that mixture to scrub clean a two door display cooler front of that cooler it was so extremely fould with extremely strong deadly gases he was manufacturing in that six pan. God I wish I never broke my arm I would of made over $100K since I broke my arm instead I've spent over $25,000 of all my savings and selling my stuff just to get by and running myself into $30K+ of debt with loans and credit cards.

I know it's not restaurants fault I broke my arm but damn I have no clues how restaurant businesses can't actually afford to get rid of harmful workers like this last supervisor I'm complaining about here causing people to be in direct exposure to deadly gasses at work in the kitchen. The dumb ass tried explaining to me how we mitigate bleach deposits on the forks because normal scrubbing won't remove the bleach deposits in the bottom crevices of the fork prongs. He explained it like this " we ran into this problem with the bleach getting stuck in-between the prongs so we brush the bleach out of there with this brush we had to buy for this reason." I explained that one of the reasons not to use bleach like he does, he continues to break down and explain with all his intelligence as though I never said a word.

This dumb ass couldn't even let me run the machine sweep the floor take out the trash or even communicate to another person without interrupting me to make sure I learn all of the knowledge I already have and need to be capable of daily responsibilities such as clean and communicate to anyone.

I'm much happier and healthier without a job down on my luck get evicted go homeless and star my life completely over from square one than attempt to have a happy successful and healthy life style in employment in a restaurant, I just know this happy thing will be momentarily at best as a restaurant worker.

Im writing a song about my experience with my terrible landlord. Do you guys want to here it?

My dad gave me today a box that has two old Nintendo consoles a NES and a N64.

Here a link if y'all wanna see my Crusin USA on N64 first time playing this in almost 30 years.

I sell on eBay from time to time mostly used items of my own so most the time like 99% or more when I ship I repurpose boxes from my Amazon and eBay orders.

I have never had a complaint or negative feedback over it and Ive been doing this for 10 years. I'm not an eBay store and I'm not a business I just have an individual seller account.

I was wondering if I'm the only one who does this and if it's frowned on or not.

Thanks...

I Snapped on my landlord yesterday😶

I'm working on an exit plan, & reporting his hazardous life style and subjecting me the tenant

to deal with it and support his life style choices of exercising almost zero of his personal and landlord responsibilities.

What would you guys do?

I have put up other posts about this landlord you can check out it is a part of this experience, and I will be posting more as time goes on.

Thanks the time you'll spend reading this and trying to make since as it could be confusing as there is a lot of horrible details I've been tolerating being incredibly patient and mindful of him and his time but his respect I gave him turned him to believe he has no requirements to do his own responsibilities, or something to that effect.

I rent a room from someone I knew for almost 20 years before I moved in, out in public he's a very respectful person nobody would ever guess he's a piece of work in the slim lord category. Check out this text thread between us yesterday after I snapped on him.

(Me)

I'm trying to cook my food and eat it I don't need trash in my food again that you put their and lie to my face and tell me it was probably Sam, because I forced you to take care of GCI.

So I demand in reason you don't make me get out of your way when I'm cooking my food. And after years of you lying to me about your responsibilities being because of Sam or Sams girlfriend or how Thomas fucked you over and how Matty fucked you over.

(Landlord) / Roommate

What trash did I put in your food? Thats crazy dude I just wanted to zap my roll for like 20 seconds

(Me)

You can't show a normal level of respect or responsibilities as an individual sharing living area eating area the trash that crusted off the microwave when you were aggressive scrubbing the microwave while I was cook my dinner you were pissed off I did not stop my dinner to provide you gci cable service I had to force you to call them. So while throwing a tantrum you decide your priorities while on hold with gci is to start cleaning above my food I was cooking.

(Landlord)

Dude I wasn't cleaning above your food

(Me)

Keep my life out of your foods way wait with some normal level of respect you just put your hand and food on my face going over my food so I can get out of your way without making you wait. Yes you were! A chunk off the microwave you decided the only time you had to clean it was when I put my foot down and told you you had to call gci not me. While I was cooking my dinner I was fucking pissed then and you looked me straight in the eye and lied saying "it was probably Sam." I yelled at you to the fuck out of the kitchen don't ever put trash in my food again.

(Landlord)

Sorry I should have said excuse me but you didn't have to react that way. Sorry I'm just exhausted I've been working nmy ass off

(Me)

You keep justifying to show zero respect. Was I doing any bullshit to you that I then lie to your face and blame my last landlord when you told me to stop it? What do you mean I didn't have to save my food fastly so there didn't stand a chance for Sam to put more trash in my food.

(Landlord)

What are you talking about sam? Hope you start having a better day

(Me)

You know that last tenant of yours I just explained how You've blamed a lot of your things on Sam like when you put trash in my food. Like when I first moved in I did your responsibilities to clear the drains best I could you lie say you don't have the time, when you had the plumber come over for the leaky wall I told you to have him fixed the drain in the tub that drains slower than It fills you said sure after the plumber left I noticed he didn't do anything to fix it when I addressed this to you you said the plumber told you just to remove the drian cover and it drains faster you should never had excepted that and what Sam has to do with hat is it was Sams girlfriend who clogged the drain you said after you asked me what seemed to be creating the clog I told you there was mostly sludge build up and a small amount of hair. Super happy for me to take care of all of these thing and you need me to understand you just don't have the time. I mean just now how can you not know your own food? You need to pay attention to what your doing so you don't need another person to let you know.

(Landlord)

Dude it was an innocent question.

(Me)

It's a honest answer just in case you weren't aware of my response to you I live this way every day you have targeted me from day one with a bunch of bullshit.

(Landlord)

No I haven't Thats kinda ridiculous. You're creating conflict where there isn't any

(Me)

Yes you have you remember the first week you started stealing my lighters. When I cleaned and sanitized the refrigerator strictly because of health reasons it's not safe to have a biohazard in the refrigerator you creat.

(Landlord)

Dude I never took your lighters on purpose

(Me)

When I cleaned the refrigerator as soon as you seen it you made a big deal to me just how much you appreciate me for doing this favor for you. I corrected your misunderstanding of that and explained I need a clean refrigerator it's not going to be an argument don't think do something normal is I'm doing it so you don't have to, and I explained to you some people I lived with in the past who made that mistake of targeting me with shared responsibilities and that I wasn't there bitch I'm there daddy taking care of the little girls who don't have time to lift a finger for there own life wants others like Daddy will provide. Idk Why you think.me spend more and more and more and more money on things I already use to have until it gets stolen just because you steal on accident doesn't mean now you don't have to come up with your own lighter you have yours exactly where you put them and never have had to buy another light not once because I took it, all so you don't have to leave the living to go to your room or your car to get a lighter then you on purpose choose not to spend enough time to pay attention of what your doing good enough to steal only on purpose instead of by mistake repeatedly to the extent I bought more lighter to replace the ones you stole in the first six months of me living here then the five years I rented my last place.

(Landlord)

I actually left lighters on the coffee like weeks ago hope you can have them. I don't even smoke any more. I have more you can have too. Bottom line is I'm helping you out big time right now I really don't deserve this.

Here's the video it's not a very good video but it shows enough. The two weeks prior to this there was back to back record breaking snowfall and the property management plowed me van in both weeks from the record breaking snowfall I was working three jobs at the time and I had planned to move out in the next six months once the winter broke up into a different apartment with different landlords and no property management company, but when they did this it destroyed my van it put it under all that snow and ice and gravel.

It caved the roof in on my van and put water in all the fluid lines and chambers making it more expensive to repair the damages than the vehicle was worth, it was a 1990 Astro van my jerk off landlords hated it. Because of them I got screwed out of my plans using my van to move out, and forced me to stay longer, and I was pissed off really bad at these pieces of shit landlords, or property management what ever they call themselves they are criminals.

I snapped on my landlord today...😶

I rent a room from my landlord he owns a two bedroom condo, I have rented for the last two and a half years now, and it's been challenging on a petty level,

Today I was making some food on the stove and my landlord came home from work he walked straight into the kitchen and got into the fridge instantly asking me if the container of food he put in the refrigerator the day before yesterday was mine,

I told him, not it wasn't and asked him if he remembered putting it in there he asked me again if it was mine and asked me what was in there it didn't know what was in that container.

Before I got way too much further I do understand he just got home he has every right to go straight to the fridge, the part about asking me about is own food though happens almost an equal amount of the time my lighters or silverware comes up missing or if I'm openly frustrated that he is a slumlord and avoids his responsibilities with the mottos of "why do it if I don't have to" & " it is what it is" when it comes to things like home trashing the refrigerator cooking spoiled meats inside and refuse to use the hood vent with a bs argument of it's a waist of money because you still smell the food so it doesn't matter to use the hood vent, he refuses to fix the bathtub drain that drains slower than it fills there was a pick bacteria in the tub that is gone now since I bleached it every day for a week and a half last time he went on vacation.

After blowing up on him today we texted back and forth I hit him with all the facts I'm sick of having to deal with his crap and in the text messages he admits to a little guilt and said something that's very much the exact lack of responsibilities I was addressing saying he doesn't deserve this.

I agree he doesn't deserve this, I certainly don't deserve landlord responsibilities when I'm a renter and I certainly don't deserve to have my things stolen, or have to get out of your landlord's way when I'm cooking my food so he can get his.

I normally don't care to complain or nitpick about personal differences normally just because it's normal to have personal differences but the lack of responsibilities so great it's impacting my everyday life where if I want a refrigerator that is safe to eat out of or a tub that drains properly and is also not contaminated with a pink filmy bacteria I have to remove it and clean and sanitize and clear drains myself and he always is happy to cooperate when I do all of the responsibilities as long as he's the only person directing his attention that's just fine but if it involves a shared responsibility he can't do anything at all he will always lie and say he doesn't have time.

I'm going to turn him into the housing authorities and have a state inspection as soon as I can schedule an inspection idk what else I should do, he's not happy I went off on him, but he's gonna be forced by the state to do his responsibilities, in a text after I blew up on him he said I was creating conflict where there was none. So now I'm going to be most likely having him defend himself like he's a victim where I'm an abusive tenant and he works all the time and acts like I'm crazy, as I have pictures of the refrigerator showing how he treats it in a hazardous way by keeping raw meats in there for one time I seen it in there for 11 weeks he still cooked it, I got extremely sick the early the next day starting at about 4 am I woke up stomach in pain having to throw up, then continued to throw up every 30-45 minutes until about 11 pm that night, the next day I felt a lot better but my stomach was feeling very bad still as I'm eating some food my landlord said he noticed I was sick all day the day before and asked if I thought I had a cold or was it just a hangover, so I told him I believe it was from his almost three months old fermented meats he cooked and didn't use the fan, he insisted it was a hang over and said I should go to the doctor, and is trying to act like my friend talking to my nonstop about his colonoscopy he had scheduled until I left the living to go finish my food in my bedroom instead of eat my food where I should at the table where there should be no education to me about my landlords colonoscopy or any other shit no one should be sharing highly repetitive medical procedures they have coming up.

I'm loosing my shit over here from this chump of a landlord, he thinks he has it bad with me putting pressure on him to do his job so I don't have to take care of him that way when he's all finished and taking care of then I can clean after him and once I have a clean home a can do thing like breath the air inside and never get sick from it.

"RANT WARNING"

My landlord is one of the worst i ever had. I rent a spare room, with this in mind I'm not trying to stay here long term or even as long as i have. Even though i rent a room, but i believe I'm still entitled to everything that local housing law protects within reason, such as in the winter it gets negative -30 degrees outside I'm not demanding he make it 80 degrees inside i do believe i have reasonable expectations o both my responsibilities as a tenant to keep clean and sanitary o myself and he the same of himself but he responsible for utility repair and reasonable sharing the refrigerator.

My landlord never cleans the refrigerator, the first week i moved in I cleaned and sanitized the refrigerator because it needed it and i needed a safe place to put my food when I'm not eating it and it needs cold storage, i did not clean and sanitize it with the intention o favoring him or doing it for him so he doesn't have to.

However when he returned home and seen i did that he with a huge sense of urgency over emphasizing to me just how thankful he was for me doing that favor for him. At this time i took the opportunity to educate to him that i require a clean and sanitary fridge and that i did this from myself and expect him to clean after himself. I was reasonable about it.

He steals lighters from me if for what ever reason i he can find it is in his reach he steals it every time. He has stolen silverware from me causing me to buy new silverware and learn the lesson I'm not to have silverware but I'm to use what ever he provides witch over time will widdle down to only plastic ware left over from his lunch he brings home and leaves in the sink as the metal utensils disappear. He smashed my water melon one day i had two deli contains the very next day after i cleaned the fridge he smashed both containers by putting a grocery bag full of his own good destroying my watermelon making a big mess or me to ind later. when i confronted him about it he acted as though he never knew about it and did not offer to replace it and did not offer or make his own attempt to clean the mess i had to pressure hm to clean the mess he acted very stressed out and said he didn't have the time to be doing that witch is one of his staple justifications of not doing his personal responsibilities and his landlord responsibilities.

He recently put a tub of yogurt he took away from me last year after i got a career changing injury and hid it about 10 months ago and then last week its no in the same place he took it from i know its mine too because i buy plain greek yogurt he never does he always gets whats the cheapest also i throw away food is it goes bad every time and he makes his raw meats go bad every time before he eats it, He creates dangerous boihazards in that way on his normal regular basis and cooks the rancid meats inside on the stove in the kitchen and refuses to use the hood vent causing obnoxious fumes that i believe are hazardous and harming my health also his health and he just doesn't realize it because hes lived like this for a long time.

When i clean the counter tops in the kitchen less then 24 hours go by and because he does not clean after himself the counter tops are as dirty as my normal dinner plate once I'm done eating without liking my plate clean and before i wash my plate after eating off of it. 100% of the dishes he washes before i use them i have to wash them if i want to have sanitary dishes and utensils to prepare cook or use to eat with because he doesn't clean the dishes he washes good enough to safely eat from.

He refuses to get the pluming fixed in the bath tub the drain fills much faster than it drains, it only fills at a standard speed for a standard tub. There used to be a pink bacteria in the tub but last time he wen on vacation i was able to get rid o it, only took me 11 days of only using the tub to spay concentrated bleach on it with out using the water until the bacteria died and hasn't come back yet. the bacteria he make with his meet is so bad that over the years he has been doing this over 10 now I've lived here 2.5 years now the bacteria has soaked or marinated into the walls and just gets worse over time as he keeps dong it.

The first year he left for vacation and called me two days into his vacations needing me to go threw his mail to find his utility account number so he can pay the utility bill or its going to get shut off because he doesn't pay the bill until they are going to shut it off giving him a warning to pay it before they shut it off after hes late multiple months because he can avoid paying a service fee each month i he is just late on the payment he explained to me why should he pay the service fee if he doesn't have to so he runs a late payment on his account just to avoid paying the monthly payment then causing me to stop what I'm doing to help him with this delinquency practice.

He forced internet responsibilities on me to communicate with the provider and do 100% of the manual labor of resting the router and modem y having them in my room and reusing to place them in his room forcing me the responsibility or forcing me to forfeit my personal space and privacy and personal time for his personal internet needs.

He one time threw a temper tantrum over my use of the hood vent when i was cooking my dinner at about 5:30-6pm he was watching a basket ball game and the hood vent is noisy how ever it is not loud you can stand directly in front of it and have a conversation without having to raise you voice to hear each other but it does make a small amount o noise just enough you can hear it when watching TV on the regular volume we normally use between 25-35 volume setting out of 100 25 being loud enough we don't need it to be louder and 35 when having a couple beers and watching the game. So for some reason one day he got angry i guess when i used the hood vent that i know did not disrupt his game, but he turned the TV volume all the way to the max level of 100. it was extremely loud and painful i finished cooking and sat down in the living room he tried speaking to me but naturally i could not hear him so he then turned down the TV in increments with a display as though this was 100% normal behavior. Once the volume was to a normal level he acted as though everything was ok.

I'm feeling completely drained by this sac of scum. It seems to me in my perspective that this idiot has targeted me and all his past tenants as his source to all of his personal and professional responsibilities as a landlord how owns his own property and the ownership responsibilities.

Just a few minutes ago I went to send a text message, and was forced to sign into my Gmail account to use my text message app.

Anyone else dealing with this?

I'm already looking for other apps instead, I just don't need to sign into my Gmail account to send a text message.

Is there anyone who works at REI, what was the application and interview and hiring process like, was it pretty smooth and straight forward or was it different and have you been happy with your employment, how would you rate REI as an employer overall?

I ask because I had applied but was put off by multiple things during the application process started in person. I'm now thinking that the problem is the application process or are those things during the in person application process throughout the company and can be expected on the regular basis once employed.

So when you sell an item and it goes through the authenticator guarantee program if the sale price was under $750 they will not ship to your buyer from the authenticator you shipped to insured and signature required, even if you paid for insurance to cover the cost of the sale price over $100 but under $750.

But if the sale price was $750 or more than the authenticator will add insurance and signature required on delivery when they buy a shipping label to your buyer.

So even if you buy insurance and signature required on delivery when buying your shipping label if it sold for less than $750 your package is only covered by that insurance and signature required to the authenticator, and they don't give a crap if you bought insurance and signature required on delivery at all, but if it sold for $750 or more it doesn't matter if you do or don't buy insurance and signature required, it's eBays authenticator guarantee program policies to add insurance and signature required on delivery when they buy the shipping label to your buyer.

I can't stand how dumb these policies are.
