Came in today and had decent amount of work for the first few hours. It started to slow down a bit before lunch, so I figured after we got back from lunch there'd be some backup in sortation that I could sit on for some time (almost the entire warehouse gets put on lunch at the same time. Why? No clue.)

I was dead wrong. Get back from lunch and the floor is near empty. I start doing busy work and help people finish loading their cans (air hanger), which is relatively enjoyable for a little bit.

Once 2 pm hits, there's nothing to do. Quite literally.

Our supervisors look us dead in the eye and tell us to "look busy" or else they're going to get yelled at.

So I put together a few shuttles, stage some pallets, and wander around in circles until I just go to sit in the break room for a bit because I'm feeling dead tired from the heat. A supervisor comes in 5 minutes later, yelling at everyone who's in the break room for sitting down and doing nothing. There's nothing to do. We're wasting our energy walking around rather than resting until more cans come in, but apparently our managers don't care and want everyone moving.

What a day. I wouldn't complain if we got to sit and do nothing while getting paid for it, but the supervisors being up everyone's asses made me want to just run out of the warehouse.

Which, to put the cherry on top, they told us that if we left early we wouldn't get the holiday pay rate.

So recently my Vyvanse has decided to suppress my appetite despite it not ever doing so before. The problem is, I work a very active job that requires energy for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. I'm getting a good ~400 cal protein shake in me for breakfast that's high in both carbs and protein, but after that, it's super hard to eat anything whatsoever.

I need to be eating throughout the day to maintain my energy and make sure I don't just pass out on the job, but I feel like vomiting (out of just like... disgust? for food) every time I try to eat a snack if I'm not desperately hungry. Usually by lunch it's calmed a little bit and I'm able to get a high calorie, small meal inside me, but otherwise I still struggle with quick snacks.

Does anyone have tips for maintaining my energy through the day and keeping my body fueled? I know this is a common topic in this sub but all the advice I've come across is just to eat a high calorie, easy to digest breakfast- which is good advice, but I do that already and am still struggling.

I get constipated every once in a blue moon. I mostly suffer with the diarrhea side of things.

The past week, though, I've slowly been getting more and more constipated to the point where I'm typing this when I'm supposed to be trying to sleep purely because of the stomach pains. Every time I go to the toilet, it's like a thunderstorm of gas, but the shit I can feel brewing inside refuses to come out.

I mixed up some miralax and cranberry juice to see what happens tomorrow. A bit nervous because I have work all day (warehouse) and can't exactly use the bathroom or take a break whenever, but miralax usually treats me pretty nicely.

So I just had my first hookup on Grindr last week. It was super great and I had a lot of fun, which was reciprocated by the guy. We both were looking for FWB situation with each other.

He's super sweet and friendly, we were talking for a while before hooking up and neither lost interest. Even after he ended up needing to rain check a few hours for our meet because of something unexpected, he was super apologetic and felt super bad.

So after the sex went well, I messaged him the next day saying I had a lot of fun and would love to meet again. He got back to me saying he also had a great time and that I made him cum a lot, would love to meet up. I told him to let me know and that I would also happen to be in his city next week, to which he responded he'd love to meet up but would let me know day of.

Comes the day of, today, and I check Grindr after I eat breakfast to see what's up. He's not in my messages. I figure it's a glitch, close app and re-open, still not there. I check my favorites tab and he's gone. I wait a bit, return, still gone.

So, presumably, he's blocked me for whatever reason. It sucks because he was super good in the sex department, but happened to be a very cool person as well and someone I'd have loved to get to know more. We found out we shared some interests and hobbies during our meet.

I wish I knew why, but oh well. I'm disappointed and somewhat hurt, but I guess that's probably normal for me being newer to hookup culture.

Probably will abstain from Grindr for a while until I'm desperately horny enough to go searching again.

(And after I get myself some STD testing - which, he was clean, but I haven't had sex in a few years before him, so better safe than sorry!)

May not be the right place, so to speak, but the closest I can get. I work for an air cargo company that pretty much exclusively works under contract for Amazon, so I work for Amazon indirectly.

So far, what I've been doing is mostly scanning boxes and jiffies from shuttles and then putting them into mail bags, also while separating large boxes from smaller ones. These mail bags are then loaded onto air cargo containers as well as the larger boxes, which are loaded individually and not inside mail bags.

People who are permitted to drive are usually on forklifts in the mornings, unloading pallets of boxes and shuttles from trailers into a staging area(?) where they'll then be taken to different areas, either for stacking cans or scanning in the mail line.

We also unload mail bags and boxes from containers into shuttles.

Anyway, what exactly is this department classified as? Is it just a glorified sorting center?

Recently started a job in RC. I take the 215 north onto the 60 west, then hop onto the 15 north.

What's the best time to leave so I can arrive 7:45-7:50 on Tues thru Thurs? Fri+Sat I have timing down since there's not much varying in traffic, but I'm not familiar with the rush hour traffic for my route on weekdays.

I usually check traffic right when I wake up, then keep an eye on it throughout the morning.

Please don't comment on the fact that this is a diabolical commute, it's rather unhelpful and I already knew what I'd be getting into when I took the job.

So I'm due to start a warehouse job soon. I've been on sertraline for a while now, my biggest side effects are heat-related. I get dehydrated a lot easier, tend to get very fatigued in any sort of heat beyond a slightly warm day, and get overheated quickly.

The warehouse isn't climate controlled. That's my biggest worry about heading to work there. The summers get over 100F where the warehouse is.

I'm not sure if it's a great idea to work the job with these side effects.

I've a crush on this guy who I got somewhat close to toward the end of my time abroad. He's a fucking wild, unstoppable force of nature, but at the same time, just a normal dude in his 20s who is stupidly both immature and mature in the most annoying way.

We still talk on a near-daily basis. Not all of this is full conversations, considering we've our own lives to get on with, but it's a lot of sending reels back and forth with stupid offhand comments that make me feel butterflies even when they mean nothing.

And somehow, in some awful twist of fate, he feels as if he could be a perfect life partner. Maybe it's idealisation. But his life, his personality, everything about him seems like it would fit perfectly with my own goals, my future. We've talked through the night about random things and it's like seeing everything I want. The knowledge of this kind of just tickles at the back of my brain endlessly and it's something I can't let go of; it gives me a pit in my stomach, but also this tug at the base of my neck that makes me pine for something more.

I am so terribly far gone that it's hilarious. I don't think about him 24/7, but when I do, it's like a raging fire consuming my brain and all I can do is replay the moments that make me feel alive with him. It's amazing and awful at the same time. I understand what's so addicting about the chase. The push and pull is like gambling for something more.

I won't say I don't have a chance with him. That'd be setting myself up for failure. But I won't say I have a chance with him. I've heard from other friends that he's in love with a man he met a bit ago, but I find it difficult to believe (for many reasons that don't have to do with my crush bias). I will say, I wish he was in love with me lol.

Even when jealousy stings deep in my chest, I think the yearning makes it worth it. The butterflies in my stomach feel like some kind of torturous reward.

Hey guys, was wondering if anyone has a tab/knows of a tab for the guitar solo-esque part of PTSD toward the end? Would really appreciate it :)

Came across a band playing in the ticket hall on my commute today. I saw a sign for the dpp but forgot to take a photo of the band names and times. Does anyone have info? Thanks
