New-ish PT Supervisor that was recently trained in my work area that came from supervising load side finished his first week solo after training finished then never came in again which was almost 2 weeks ago. He has been gone ever since without a word, nobody could get a hold of him. I’ve seen union members at my hub no call no show many times but never a supervisor. All of last week I basically had no supervisor directing me and others in my work area (I say basically because another one would check on us like every 30 min then leave lol). Is he not able to come back even if he wanted to or is it too late now, like has he been terminated?

I plan on upgrading to an aftermarket system soon but never took into account that I will still have the stock exhaust laying around after. What do y’all do with it?

Looking to lower my 2023, any advice or input on what brands I should be looking at? Want an aggressive stance with wheel spacers to boot. I’ve been looking at H&R at the moment but definitely open to other opinions/options.

I went on my phone to change my podcast, maybe like 10 seconds or less and PT Sup catches me on my phone and says if I do it again I will be written up for stealing time. I understand being on your phone in general is not good but I mean it’s not like I am texting or watching a video, just took it out to change my podcast which was only a couple seconds? I don’t understand how that can be classified as stealing time, I see him on his phone all the time not doing any work and that’s fine? Even before that incident, I did that all the time with no issues? Then all of the sudden it’s a big problem?

My 14 year old soul cat is rapidly declining due to lymphoma. She was diagnosed about 2 months ago and has been on oral chemo since. She was believed to have 1 or 2 years left of life at the time. However, her most recent vet visit for labs and an ultrasound this wednesday and it showed her lymph nodes had enlarged at an alarming rate and are compressing her intestines, which makes digesting food and bowel movement almost impossible. Vet said there was no point of doing further treatment because it wouldn’t help. She isn’t eating too much, she has lost a lot of weight, seems restless, she can still get around and walk around if she wants, her mobility is surprisingly good at the moment, she still gets excited for her treats and waits on the stairs but barely even eats them. She mostly just lays around at the moment, she will still jump up on my bed and lay with me when I lay down. She isn’t hiding or crying at the moment but is definitely acting different from her normal self.

I am 22 and we adopted her in 2012 and has been there for me every moment of my childhood and into adulthood. I seriously don’t know a life without her. From the first day we brought her home, she instantly bonded with me and from then on to the next 14 years, she would sleep with me every night, I would wake up to her next to my head or cuddled into my arms every morning. Every waking moment of my life at home was spent with her whether it be good or bad. Every time I came home from work or school or from anywhere no matter how long I was gone, she would greet me at the top of the stairs or at the front door every time excited to see me again. Everywhere I went in the house she would eventually follow me and be with me. She was always happy and purring. Every time I sat at my desk, she would hop up onto my lap and stay there the whole time I was sitting. She would completely brighten my mood even on my worst days. She would only get excited for me and me only. She would always show me affection if she sensed something was wrong. It’s like she was attached to me.

Everyone says “They lived such a happy life” or “Just know that you gave them so much love” etc. and that honestly does not help me cope. I seriously don’t know how I am going to cope when the time eventually comes, which will be very soon, probably within the next week. I want to be around her as much as possible but every time I see her now, I just start sobbing knowing her time is almost out. I don’t even know if I want to be there when they put her to sleep, I don’t know if I can handle myself to see my best friend of the past 14 years, permanently go away like that forever. The thought of entering the vet with her, and walking out alone. I can’t even process that thought. I don’t even know what to think. My mind is racing right now.

After euthanasia, I will still have to come home and see her fur everywhere, her food bowls, toys, scratching post, litter box, etc. Even the spots on the edges of our white doorframes and walls where she would always rub herself against when she was excited, which overtime has been darkened from excessive rubbing. I will have to see all of that and it reminds me of her and I will just break down in total tears. I don’t know what to do or think, I am sobbing my eyes out typing this. I never post stuff like this but I felt like I had to get this off my chest. Any advice?
