Overeating nightmares

Does anyone else have nightmares that they’ve gone over their deficit? I’m already in a pretty aggressive one right now (1250 bc I’m very short), and I’ve recently been obsessed with baked potatoes. Now I’m having dreams that I’m adding on obscenely amounts of butter and not weighing it. I don’t even use butter for anything anymore.

It doesn’t help that the scale has gone up every day this week. I know I most likely did not eat an extra 700 calories every day, but it still sucks 😅

Is anyone else horribly staffed today?

It’s just me in pet care, a cashier we can’t trust to do anything correctly, and a newer lead for the ENTIRE day. Breaks are 100% not going to happen lol. At least it’s time and a half I guess 😞

No experience at all. Is it worth it?👀

I currently work part time and have been struggling lately with hour cuts. Today a full time position for a dental assistant popped up. The pay is more than I make now + it’s full time. Description says no experience required and on the job training is provided.

I have a great work ethic and I’m willing to learn! Just want to make sure this is something that isn’t too difficult to jump straight into? TIA!

Jobs after PetSmart

The hour cuts have been rough! I have $40 to make it till next week after all of my bills. Literally cried in the grocery store today lmao.

This is not going to work 😄 for those of you who left, where did you go? I’d like to work with animals still if possible but have no clue where to start.

25k mile maintenance

Hello! I have a 2025 Corolla and my maintenance light is on as I’ve passed 25k miles (2nd owner) I made an appointment at a Toyota dealership and I just wanted to check that this should be a warranty (aka free) appointment? My last car was a 2010 so this is my first time taking a car in somewhere.

Phone calls 💗💗

Me: PetSmart (city), how can I help you?

Customer: How far are you from x?

Me: I’m actually not from this area, but we are between exits # and #.

Customer: Just tell me how far you are from x.

Me: I can look it up for you if you want.

Customer: Ask someone or use rocket science (what???)

Me: It says 30 minutes on maps.

*customer hangs up*

Why are people so rude??? Like what did I do to you😭

Feeling like an imposter

I’m 5’1 and started taking my calorie deficit serious at around 175ish pounds in late April.

Weighed in at 151lbs today and decided to buy some new jeans as mine are getting pretty loose. I’ve worn size 10-14 for the past few years comfortably. Today I walked out in a size 6…

I know vanity sizing is a thing so that’s my mind’s excuse, even though deep down I know I’ve done most of the work myself. It just feels fake, like I don’t deserve to wear such a small size. I hold most of my weight in my thighs and stomach which makes it feel even weirder😭 just random thoughts

Stage B advice

This is my seat for stage B. What are my chances for barricade / when do I need to move up? I’m guessing they aren’t allowing people to touch it until Grudges. Just want to be prepared so I don’t get trampled 😳

Replacement appraisal question

This is an odd question, but my carmax is still set to where it’s showing me cars I was preapproved for with my old car that I traded in.

I’m looking to trade in my car again, but because I haven’t had it long I do have around 2k negative equity. If I take this new car to be appraised, will that offer replace the old one and show me the new cars I’m preapproved for? Not sure if this makes sense, but TIA!

Trading in car I bought recently

I originally bought a car back in June, the payments were affordable for my income. It started having problems six days in, so I traded it in for something else. My payment for this current car is $700ish including insurance and GAP, which isn’t amazing for the job I’m working. Are they going to get mad at me if I trade this car back in? I’m past the 10 day guarantee but still within the 30 day warranty thing. I just don’t want to be put on a blacklist or something lol. I was planning to go to a different carmax near me anyways! I may be overthinking, but I’m very new to this stuff! TIA

Stage B barricade

So I’m Row B for B stage, which is technically the first actual row. I heard people were crowding the barricade and this makes me nervous because is it not seated? If people are going to force their way to the front I’d rather just buy a lower bowl ticket 😭 any insight would be great!

Question about 10 year old conure

Still pretty new to conures and this little guy was basically free. He is 10 years old and has lived in a tiny cage his whole life. I believe he has an injured eye, but he also acts kind of odd compared to our other one. He will hold his head like this for like 20 seconds and talk at the same time like he is falling asleep. It’s very interesting and was just wondering if this is normal behavior?

Help with biting

My family inherited a 1 year old conure. First two weeks he was very vocal, cautious, and soon started taking treats from everyone through the cage.

I think this was a mistake because now he’s very aggressive with fingers. Today I was opening his cage and he latched onto my finger, making me bleed. He bites everyone, but it’s never been that bad. Is there anything I can do to work with him on this? He loves his toys and loves treats, so if there’s anything I can do involving those that would be great!

Popup shop experience

Went to the Atlanta one today and it was an experience! Loved the music playing but there were soooo many people and there was hardly enough room to move comfortably.

I got in line and my bank thought the purchase was fraud so I had to step away. Came back and the lady ringing me up wasn’t very nice. She ended up missing the jacket I had and didn’t add it to the purchase… didn’t realize until I left.

A win is a win, I guess?

Parking garage for State Farm Arena

I’m heading to a concert tonight at State Farm and was curious about parking. This particular garage says parking isn’t available until 6pm, but doors for the show open at 6:30.

Has anyone booked here before and knows if they’ll let people in early? The garage is completely booked so that is going to be a TON of people blocking the road waiting turn into here. If that’s the case then I’ll just wait it out, but if I can get in early that would be nice.

Working entire days

Usually on Sundays I am opening and closing pet care… so working the entire day. I get bored so fast as everything is typically done during the week and Sunday is… Sunday. Any advice on how to push through 😭

Help with pet sales denial

Had a family come in wanting a bearded dragon. They had a cricket carrier in their hands and said they would put it in there. Obviously said no, and the mom got really irate with me. I showed them the proper enclosures and said if they decided to get one to lmk.

For the next 30 minutes they basically dragged me around, telling me how they know more than me, they’ve had them for years, etc.

Ultimately they got the enclosure I showed them. I’ve already spoken to managers and reprinted their contract/receipt in case they try to return the enclosure alone.

Is there anything else I can do to make sure nothing happens? I close tomorrow and work the entire day Sunday just in case—
