We have a massive amount of inventory that comes in every day. There's only 1 person who handles ordering and keeping track of probably a thousand drugs. I put a note on her desk asking if we were getting Stummies in the next order and what the NDC was. She tried finding it in the lists for a little bit before she gave up.
How many of you are actually in that range? I don't even come close to the $65,000. People tell me I make decent or good money.
Edit: I make about $54k. A lot of people seem to be replying in the $50's range. I can't even imagine what it'd be like to be in the $65-70k range. I'm just a single guy, living in cheap apartments - barely making it by.
Edit: I was just asking because AI is usually way off, and that's what it had. Trying to get an idea of actual numbers.
Part 2. Too many on Part 1. We were down today.
Photo-bomb. We didn't have much to do this morning, just tasks as busy work. I took pictures instead.
Awwww... I still have like 10 or 15 more. I'll have to make a part 2.
I honestly don't know where I fit in. I know I'm not "normal" because family and close friends can't relate and a few have said "that's weird". Like, they can't wrap their heads around the concept of not wanting to have sex with anyone. I live in a very progressive city where there is a strong LGBTQ+ community - half of my rental complex is LGBTQ. I wouldn't really fall under the Q, because I know I'm straight. I don't feel accepted by the community here - some people I've known and talked with get annoyed with me thinking I might be part of this community.
I have no problem with watching or visualizing sex. I get aroused by it - but not in real life, like being around people who are kissing or having sex. Being around people kissing is just "ick". I hate being involved in sex - it's just been something that felt like I had to do/was expected to do in past relationships. It's just gross to me. I don't mind holding/cuddling with someone when we're mostly naked (I don't like exposed genitals. That turns me off. I don't like touching/being touched in genital areas.)
When it comes to attraction in life - I can find someone extremely cute, but not "hot" or "sexy". Someone could be extremely cute to me, but if I had the chance - I'd never want to have sex with them. It's just gross - smell, body fluid mixing - including kissing. I am straight though, because I've never had any attraction/interest in other males and I do watch straight porn with no interest in the men. I enjoy the human form and movements though - of any sex, but with something covering genitals. Like live performances - burlesque is neat because it's a performance/routine, but going to a strip club I have completely no interest in at all. In a relationship, if a partner tries to be "sexy" naked for me - if anything it turns me off.
I generally do not feel "romantic" attractions to people - but I do become attracted to people I've known for a long time (sometimes it takes years).
My last relationship was for 15 years, and we probably had sex less than 20 times - we were emotionally/mentally attached. We were rarely romantic with each other though. Romance was just kind of meh.
This is not trauma induced. I've always felt this way. I know I'm on a sex-repulsed spectrum of some sort. It seems like there are traits from both Asexuality and Aegosexuality.
If age makes any difference on perspective, I'm 50. What are your thoughts?
These are some pictures I took over the last day (in hand count). When it's slow, it looks like I'm doing tasks that need my phone out. The job is pretty mindless, so it's things like this that I look forward to. (I'm too lazy to look up what they are - and I've been looking at pills all day.)
I literally love how they look and would love to have them gallery size on my wall.
Who else loves the medications?
I'm sure there are other people like me out there. I've always broken down systems. The moving pieces. I don't have a lot emotion, because most things in my life revolve around logic. As far back as I remember it's been this way. I try to think of a point try to think of all of the branches that could lead to that outcome. It's always going - at home a lot, while talking to people, the work (8 hours a day of mindless work - you're in your head). Is there a way to stop this? I know there has to be other people out there - have you lessened it or stopped it?
This discussion doesn't have to relate to my logic type of thing. Are there things you think about obsessively? Have you been able to work away from 1 train of thought?
I'm just a 50 year old man who decided my classic car should be modernized a little. I started with my reliable car I've had for close to 25 years. It was my first brand new car.
To start the process, don't prime the exterior or clean it. That cuts out a lot of the wasted time other modders take. It actually helps - the paint turns it into a thin cement. That protects the exterior from weather and rust.
I added fine touches, like bad-assing the rims. I highlighted which company sucks more than a Hyundai.
You can buy the supplies on most budgets. I think all of these supplies cost about $33.92 after using coupons.
A duct tape finish is way stronger than a chrome finish when it comes to the side speed strip. Chrome can flake and rust.
The finished results will stand out from the rest of the poor people's cars on the road. Show off all of that hard work.
I wanted it to fit in with all of the other modified cars in my parking lot. Something to bond with my neighbors over. One of my neighbors likes to play jokes. Whoever it was hid my catalytic converter 3 times. They hid them really well, because I still haven't found them. What pranksters!
I got one over on the car dealership. They wanted to pay me $80 for it, but I was able to walk away with a cool $100.
Stand out from the crowd! With improper customization - you too can decrease the value of your vehicle!
I've worked in healthcare for years. My co-workers were jealous of my car for 3 years. It does wonders for your career's trajectory!
Edit: I just looked it up for my state. It doesn't qualify as classic. It qualifies as Collector's. I should have gotten those plates. Can't show the plates on here but... what 7 letters would any old punk love? I won't reply to guesses. Note: I'd update the title of this thread, but I'm lazy.
Edit 2: Don't waste your time trying to mod for better gas mileage. You don't need oil in your car. That's a myth driven by the greed of big oil. I drove across the country, took it in for an oil change - and they said "did you know your oil plug was out?". Make sure you change the oil every 20-30,000 miles though. Occasional maintenance actually is important to keep collector's cars in the not as good as yesterday condition. You can see how little oil my car needed when you look at the cars in the parking lot. I used to park my car in the empty spot next to the white SUV. Proof you don't need oil.
Tip: Why pay to have your car washed if nature takes care of that? I demanded base factory paint and coating and a black leather bra on it. Does that count as a mod? Anyway, about 2 years into having the car something broke every time I went through a carwash. I washed my car only 3 times - every time something mechanical would break. Never washed it again after the 3rd time. From experience, don't wash your factory coating. Also, make sure you demand a bra to fancy up the car or mini-van. That ups it's value for a few weeks. Cha-ching!
Edit 3: I modded the stereo. I found a cassette to CD adapter. Man, those scratchy CDs sounded hella cool combined with only treble. My neighbors grew to appreciate my music - they'd close their blinds so they could rock out in the kitchen. That kind of upgrade really builds the reputation of a block if you play the music loud enough - see, that mod was a nice thing to do for the neighbors.
Edit 4: A co-worker with a bright orange SUV heavily modded somebody else's black SUV door - and they did it for free! Man, I would have kept my car forever if it had a huge orange streak ending in a big dent. I doubt I can post what I would have done to make it look even cooler.
I carry so many just because it's fun to switch up. I never use Power Armor. The weapons and ammo weigh basically nothing. What are your favorite weapons?
I live alone, and I'm pretty much a hermit. My mom bugs me to send a text each day - I rarely do. It seems like it'd be a chain for me to "check in" every day. I mean, she's in her 70's and I'm in my 50's - so I get why she's always worried. I think it'd be a chain of worry for her every day too, if I ever started this - her, watching for that text. She wants me to check in because my seizures have almost killed me before.
Do any of you have this type of thing going on? How would/do you handle this? What are your thoughts?
I'm just wondering because I'm trying to get an idea of what to watch for. I honestly don't know if I have them. (I am around loud stuff all day at work - so that could just be affecting my hearing.)
I'm guessing I'd fall under the Asexual spectrum.
I can be attracted to people and think they are really cute, but I have no desire to have sex with them. Basically, I don't like the actual act of sex or kissing - it's gross to me. I've always just done it in past relationships because it just felt like something that had to be done/was expected.
I don't mind watching/viewing it in media and porn (yeah, I know - gross person). Kind of like I like the fantasy of sex vs. the reality of sex - if that makes sense. I've been this way for my whole life, and I've always just felt different from "normal" people. It's always been hard to wrap my head around how much people seem to want to 'hook up' or are always in pursuit of sex. Sex has always seemed like so much of an underlying focus for people. I get that it can feel good, but there's very little I like about it in person.
It does take me a long time to want to be in a relationship - I've recently realized it's not a trust thing. It's not a confidence thing. Someone becomes more attractive to me the longer I know them. Superficially, I can think someone can be extremely cute - but I generally don't feel like pursuing anything more. No matter how cute someone is to me, having sex with them would still gross me out.
(I'm straight, if that makes any difference. I don't see how orientation would really matter though.)
Has anyone else done this? I was reading in-depth on my records and I should be dead. Who's had one those holy.... moments?
Edit: I hope this doesn't break the rules.
I had seizures lasting from 6-15 minutes. I had a BP of 142/96. Lots of lesions on front left temporal, and left subcortex.
I haven't had a TC in 10 years. I think the meds are fully in control of me (if that makes sense). Last time my neuro was thinking of putting me on Gabapentin too. I deal with high volumes of drugs every day (pharmacy tech) - Gabapentin sounds like an absolutely horrible drug. 300mg are some of our fastest movers. Why? (Some states are making it a controlled substance.)
Do any of you have experience with the keppra/lamictal/gabapentin coctail? How did it affect you?
I took them fast (like 5 seconds), so some are blurry or ugly tints because of the lighting. I like a few. Do any of them look neat to you?
I'm just wondering if something like this has happened to anyone else? I saw my neuro about 8 months ago.
He increased my 400mg dose of Lamictal to 600mg, but I've been mistakenly only been taking 500mg for 8 months. I meet with him in a few months. I'm not going to risk the 100mg increase (500mg - 600mg) before I meet with him. If I'm controlled and nothing has changed, does it really matter at this point? If anything, it seems like this mistake might be a good thing - because I'm maintaining on a lower dose.
