Gabes tends to be my go to especially their clearance rack whenever I need to replace my work gear. Though because of limited stock, I sometimes have issues finding bottoms that fit me since I'm very thin. I would perfer in person shopping but I am open to online stores as well so long as they are reputable.
I took an offer to go paint for a day tomorrow, I'm hoping it can be my ticket out of dishwashing for a while until I finish school. What are some pro tips to make it through the day? I'm coming in with an open mind and ready to learn as well as apply my skills I've learned in the dishpit. I'm confident this could be for me.
Lately I have been hearing some rumblings that companies like GM and Toyota are divising plans to lessen the blow of a potentially looming shortage of motor oil. I'm not sure how legitimate it is, but I saw a leaked document from Toyota that said to use heavier weight oils temporarily.... (by mixing a small amount of the heavier weight oils in) I know that some people in my family would be affected by this change. In my car, I use 5w30, but with the way things have been trending, I was wondering if buying oil in bulk would be worth it or not. Panic buying isn't exactly something I want to foster because that'll hurt thr market even more. But if it comes down to it I'd like to have a little buffer at least
What the title said.... when I go to bed at night I have dreams of me at work in the kitchen doing dishes almost nightly. This is one of the biggest aspects of my job that have taken a toll on me. Even when I'm home I can't escape the claws of my job. Any pro tips to stop this?
The position is a revolving door, some worse than others but never "good" obviously. Recently, after a few weeks our last GM called a quits and he was replaced with this middle age woman. I met her and from day one I could immediately tell she was going to make my life hell. Not even a week into her having the position she is making sweeping changes for the restaurant and none are actually improving the work environment. Today in my work message app I get greeted with a beautiful list of her demands. One of which is on call offs. I expected it to be coming because people abused it hard. She's peddling the "you need to find coverage for any shift you need to work" which is ridiculous and unreasonable for me, the hourly employee. Finding coverage always has been and will be the managers job. I pointed out the holes in her logic and she was not happy about it. I told her I will just message my manager which is the Kitchen Manager and she told me while thats fine, though I still need to call the restaurant anyway. The KM's whole job is to schedule everyone that works back of house. The redundancy is not only pointless but logistically a nightmare. I tend to work 12 hour shifts open to close, so me calling a restaurant at 10am telling them I'm on the floor dying means they only have 2 hours minimum to find someone to take my place as opposed to messaging the exact person responsible for my department.
Everyday I see people get taken advantage of and it pisses me off. Last week, the GM had her kid working under the table essentially doing a bunch of cleaning and stuff. I am almost certain she was a minor because she looked so young. I asked her if she was being paid for her work (cleaning various things with a powerwasher) and she said yeah, but she added that sometimes her mom doesn't pay her. That immediately stood out to me and I reminded her that was illegal. So far nothing has come out of that discussion, but it remains to be seen. In summary I am fed up with working not only my current job but working in general. How do I get out of this hell? I applied to like 100 jobs last summer, some even while I was on the clock and they all went nowhere.
This is something that really interests me. I saw a set of wheels off a Mazda 3 that could fit but the backspacing is shorter by about .41. They are an 18x7 +45, OEM for the VT1 as we know is 18x7.5 +49. I use my OEM wheels for winter and they are beat to hell. Looking for something unique to swap them with because why not.
