For the 2 years spent as CCA. Then shorten the time to 1 year as CCA.

Crazy with how expensive things are. Pretty much 3 years to get to $25. With how much disappears to taxes and taxes always going up, that is pretty insane. There's no way you don't shave off the at least the first few steps and shorten the time needed to get to top pay.

I believe another change should be made to the ODL list to include a 9-hour list. 12-hour list is almost non-existent in a lot of office where they cap people at 10-hours. 10-hours can be really long days, exhausting work and getting home late. The day in and day out grind of 2 hours extra can be too much.

I think 9 hours can lessen the workload to a point people are more happy with. Being on a 9-hour list also makes your expectations more reasonable when you come in to work. Knowing you might get something up to 1 hour vs something up to 2 hours is a big difference.

It's been a grueling summer and ODL carriers are working their asses off. Still the management acts like they're all milkers and that they aren't doing anything. Zero appreciation for the amount of work they do to make everything run smoothly.

I wanted to remove my name from the ODL but management told me that the new list or new rules for the list states that I can't actually take my name off that I have to stay on until the end of the quarter. Is this true? I thought you could take your name off at anytime.

I see that maybe they can't remove you right away like if you want to take your name off at the start of a day? Maybe its possible if a holiday schedule was made then they can't remove you because were already planning to use the ODL carriers for open routes?

Anyone know the rules here?

Alot of the names arent that fitting for pets. Maybe Chubby or Marcell

Im listening to the newest episode and Rider is calling the writers out of touch. I dont see the issue here and he just seems to have a lingering personal vendetta. I dont even think emojis were used that much when the show started. I remember them getting popular a little before the emoji movie came out in 2017. Emoticon was a known word for internet smileys. Danielle mentioned reasons they didnt want to use it but he wouldnt accept that.

Another subject was Riley wanting to explore her feelings for Lucas and Danielle said she couldve stopped Riley from doing it because she didnt want Riley making the same mistakes she did. Why would you want to stop them from exploring their feelings? Theres nothing wrong with Riley having feelings for a boy and talking about it. Using the Yale decision to stop her from dating a boy is awful.

Longer breaks or an additional break. I think 2 paid 15-minute breaks works but it could also be 3 10-minute breaks. These routes are longer than ever with so much packages and still more than enough mail. Everyone is forced undertime down their throats with additional work piled on. There are no easy days ever, and we deserve an easy day once in a while. Especially with the garbage pay.

I think to help us would be to negotiate these longer breaks that will eliminate 10-minutes of proposed undertime and get management off our backs more. I don't think this is much to ask for.

I believe the election are this year around October? I've seen a lot of contract violations that I don't like in my office. The ODL is not really respected. People off the list are working OT, but they'll find a way to blame the carriers for not filling out a 96 and going through the necessary steps. Even though there's no way they realistically expect this carrier to have that much undertime, or any at all.

The stewards tell me that the carriers in our office are all weak and its hard to get stuff done. But I think they just say things that sound good so people don't bother them.

I wonder how hostile management might turn on me. I also wonder if carriers might expect me to do something when its something management can do.

I'm also willing to be lenient on certain things if no ones really hurt by it. I'm wondering if people might start to piss me off by getting mad that I'm not doing something. But I have good rapport with all my coworkers and they've talked to me enough that they always tell me to run for steward. I've been told that by more than a handful of people. It seems like the natural thing to do. I think I could climb the union ladder. This is a workforce that I believe should be protected.

Does anyone have insight into these strains? They seem similar in their terpene profile. Chem has some less terps and its lower in Myrcene. I really like Key Lime Kiss and I'm not sure how similar the Chem would be? There's not a lot of info on them.

Has been a delightful surprise for a budget 1/8th at $21.75. Local shop is sold out now but it was a good buy.

I've heard of PDI's and II's. I believe they are the same thing and I think I understand what they are but I just want to be sure. So people worked "unauthorized OT" and the supervisor brought them in one by one to ask questions. "Did you put in a 3996?" etc. No discipline was handed out. But I know discipline should be corrective and not punitive. So I don't see how this was corrective at all it was just like a set of questions that people answered. This is a PDI, correct?

Next, I work in a CCA office but we have a PTF because she's been there over 2 years. There's an open route and the PM has said that HR told them they're due a transfer. But since we have a PTF, my understanding is our PTF would convert to regular on the open route. If they were to get a transfer, would they automatically be the 2nd PTF in relative standing or could they possibly jump over our PTF?

3rd I had an issue where I wasn't called for OT but people off the list worked a lot of OT that day. I asked my steward if there were enough hours worked for me to file a grievance because in the past they told me "it didn't add up to enough hours for a grievance." This time they told me "we have an agreement with the PM that as long as all the ODL has 2 hours of OT then they could go off the list for other OT. Sounds like a bullshit deal to make. But I know the district micro manages so there's no Vtime so we can't expect vtime anyway but they should bring people in for OT at least. I don't like that they're making side door deals but there could maybe be a reason for it? Like they're keeping the psychopath PM from doing something stupid. Any thoughts?

My nephew had a Nintendo Switch but parents divorced and the dad took the system with him. I have an XBOX One that I want to give him. He's going into the 2nd grade. Would XBOX One be good for him?

I know I had SNES at that age but the games are so much crazier now it seems and the controller is a little more complex and possibly harder to hold. I also have a Playstation Classic the emulator one but I'm not sure they'll want to play too old of games.

Before I had SNES, I had an Atari that my uncle gave me and I was grateful to have that to play. But I feel like kids are so much more spoiled these days and I wonder if they'll use XBOX One because its an older console.

I like that I can maybe pick them up some preowned games for dirt cheap. Anyone have suggestions and do you think it'll be good for him?

Thanks

Shawn had things come easy to him like making friends, dating, and excelling at work. Cory had to learn to accept he wasn't going to be good at everything a lesson Shawn didnt learn. Shawn had trauma but I dont know when he overcame it. He lashed out a lot at people and saddled other people with his problems. Cory had way more learning experiences

I think its cool that his sister learned how to cook so she could be the chef for AMP. That's a great way to support your family and have them earn their spot by developing and using a skill. But having her as a professor was terrible. She was just annoying at Streamer U and comes off as having an abrasive personality. The way she spoke to the class was like having the most unliked teacher possible. She should've handed out the recipe on a sheet of paper to everyone, like a teacher would, rather than just trying to shout out each step and threaten to kick people out for talking during cooking class.

It was a bad choice to try to promote her as a content creator, even telling everyone in the class to take a picture and tag her was leachy.

The brothers aren't really cutout to be content creators and they don't really mingle or collab with the streamers. Pretty pointless for them to be there.
