we found this poor thing inside our store. Almost fully certain it's a house sparrow as they nest inside our store. I feel so bad for this little guy but this is also pretty neat. taking him home.
I couldn't get a pic of the dove in the nest i accidentally spooked her cause i didn't know she was there. But of all places for a nest lol
We had an absolutely huge Thunderstorm last night and I really felt Thor's presence. It inspired this small piece that i made for him.
I've been working at Homedepot for five years now and genuinely love my job and my particular store but I've had some health problems recently that have been worsening. I have not been properly diagnosed and I'm in the process of it but it's possible rhumotide arthritis or regular arthritis. I also was found to have bulging disks in my back.
This has definitely slowed me down a little. Sometimes my legs feel weak and with the recent heatwave it is pretty bad on me. I work deliveries and I definitely put in a lot of effort and even often pick up things that i honestly shouldn't be, I help in other departments whenever I can. This particular manager always seems to find me the moment i stop for a breather.
I was in the Bopis room taking a drink and checked my phone since i was coordinating to be picked up. He asks me in an accusing tone "on what i should be working on" There were only three orders on the phone. Deliveries for Friday and its large orders i cant do as i do not have certification. (I can not drive because of very bad vision) He points out that two orders are only one item. I tell him they are drivable lawnmowers that don't really know how to start them and dont feel comfortable driving alone. Everything else was done, no overdue. I literally just stopped to take a drink and stand in front of the fan.
I dont know i just feel like this manager is always just on me and waiting for me to fuck up even though i genuinely do my best. So many other people in my store lack off or disappear but the moment i stand still for one moment he's there ask me what I'm doing.
I have spoken with my supervisor and direct manager and they are aware of my health issues.
any advice for handling this? Should i be more open about my issues. I do think I'm not the best at communicating so i do understand that he might genuinely believe I'm slacking off, but i also don't want them to think I'm constantly making excuses as a coworker who had chronic issues was not taken seriously about their chronic issues even after being diagnosed.
Theres not really any department i can be in were i dont lift things. I used to be service desk for four years but my eyesight started worsening
This Shrike got trapped inside my store and couldn't figure out how to get out through the doors. I was able to catch him after he fell behind a pallet by a window. I got the tangled dust off his foot and then let him go. He gave me a good bite as thanks 😂
started working on this with soft pastels and i am suffering 😂😂😂
I recently got the classified iron Grenadier Destro and it gave me inspiration to try something with some pastales. The final product will be on some 18x24 black paper.
Both of these guys were rescued as hatchlings. Cocoito specifically was raised from when he was at most two days old after his nest was brought down in a pallet at work. Firefly fell from his nest before fledgling and we were worried of him getting crushed by lift equipment or a customer so i took him home and finished raising him
So I've never really prayed to Hermes but today at work i lost this little shoulder plush of spider man at my store and couldn't find it. After a bit of searching i figured a customer might have found it and kept it. For some reason the thought that came to mind for finding it was Hermes. So i got an ice cold water and did a small prayer to him asking him for help in finding it and then poured the water into a plant as an offering. I didn't expect anything since I've never reached out to him before but literally five minutes later my friend found it in the break room. He hadn't been there when i checked originally! Praise to Lord Hermes. ❤️
I 26(f) Still live with my parents because of the state of the economy and some health problems. I genuinely love my parents but honestly im having a crash out. My parents have always been Christian but they were never the overly religious kind until a few years ago. They went down some rabbit hole of you tube videos about the end of the word and became more extreme. I have never trusted them with my own beliefs fearing their reactions but Recently they have been forcing me to pray each night cause they think it will help my chronic issues and what not. Honestly I've never mind doing a prayer on lThanksgiving or Christmas or things like that but now they, mainly my dad have been forcing this on me i have gotten very irritated and my dad in turn has been irritated with me cause I don't take it seriously. Last night he saw a figure of marvel Galactus I've had on my shelf for months and suddenly decided it was of the devil and made me take it down.
I ended up getting pissed off this morning with my mom cause i was talking about it as i trust her more but she defended my dad. I ended up slamming the car door as i was dropped off at work and said more things via text. I haven't told her how i consider myself pagan and honestly there is a lot more to this than the religion thing but I'm at work basically crashing out over this. I don't know if she told my dad and my dad overreacts to everything so I'm not sure what his response would be if she told him. I'm just so hella stressed out.
I am so angry, but i prayed to Ares at work to calm myself and it helped. I'm still pissed but i feel better and it honestly gave me the courage to be more open with my mom via text about my feelings. How this is gonna fall out i do not know but honestly im just done lol
Got my stinger this morning thanks to some of yall telling me Amazon had a discount! Also some pics of my custom ferret from a halo atv
I always take some joes with me and had them in a backpack. Pulled this guy out like this haha.
I got my stinger today. What's supposed to go in these pockets?
So I'm thinking of getting a 3d printer after seeing some of the cool things some of you guys do. Especially the vehicles. Which printer do you guys recommend? Would it be worth it?
So When it comes to pigeons i never see much being offered to them as toys for enrichment. I wanted to share this large foreging toy i bought. It's full of stringy paper which pigeons seem to like. You can also hide treats in it so that they have to dig around in it. These types of toys often come in various sizes are are often for parrots. I would choose ones that are more accessible like this one were the pigeons can simply grab and pull at the strings.
I also recommend foot toys like those little plastic balls often meant for cats. They are also something you can fill up with treats to encourage play.
What toys do you're pigeons like to play with?
I'm really happy with it. I'm waiting to get some cobra decal stickers and it will be perfect. Plan to paint two more.
