80% of why I want one is that this is my first time living in a bedroom with hardwood floors, and also first time owning a cat. He tracks litter everywhere in the bedroom and bathroom and I hate stepping on it, or the feeling of stepping on any kind of dirt.

I have been sweeping every day but i dont want to spend any more time on this, I have a lot of stuff to do most days.

I just want the cat litter to be as close to a non issue as possible. mopping would be nice but not needed

I work night shift at one job and part time during the day for another- my sleep is very fucked and I dont want to prepare lunch for my night shift every day.

right now I just make sandwiches over and over and I dont hate it yet but I don't wanna get to that point. I love rice, carbs and savory things. my only other idea is to make spam musubi in bulk. I dont have access to a microwave while im there.

for a long time I have been trying to avoid processed frozen food like hot pockets, because I think its expensive and unhealthy, but I'm starting to not care anymore lol. I can't heat them up at work but at least they save me time cooking at home.

I was raised in a good neighborhood and nice house but once I was on my own, i only ever lived in shitholes (but was always houses). Every time was worse, this last house was falling apart around us, mold everywhere, destroyed carpets, coked out deadbeat roommates that fight all night. They weren't paying rent for our joint lease and were going to get us all evicted. I had to step up as a pseudo landlord because our actual landlord never did anything. so much stress.

I gave up and decided id rather move into an apartment i cant afford than deal with psychos and filthy houses. after one sleepless night I stumbled into a random apartment complex, applied and rented a room.

the apartment is spotless. the facility is spotless. they pick up your trash every day. theres an indoor theater, outdoor theater, gym, pool, dog park. my neighbors are silent. my roommates are silent. my shower works, my ac works. I just feel a lot better. i left out a lot because this is already a novel but i was really in a dark place.

sorry for the nothing post, just wanted to share my experience. :)

I haven't touched my laptop in a few months because I haven't needed it, and also picked up a tab s10+ a couple months ago. I haven't really needed it for work, but have used it here and there for browsing, some emails and light things like that.

I start a new job today and was trying to prepare a workspace on my tablet- my mouse for some reason couldn't click some things, spreadsheets were formatted weird, there were some shortcuts I normally use a lot I couldn't use, and even really tiny things like the very minor lag from the mouse and keyboard were slowing me down.

I dusted off my laptop and tried that instead and instantly was so much more productive. It wasn't even close. I really like the tablet, and I wouldn't try to speak for anyone else, but for me, this does not replace a laptop. It can pretend to be one, but it isn't good at it.

I will continue using it for small tasks, and of course it's the best (and my only) solution for drawing, but yeah.

I'm from california and part of my job requires texting out work related information here and there throughout the day.

I was told my a coworker that our company provides a stipend for using the phone- however they seem to have forgotten to tell me about this when i got hired 7 months ago.

I texted my boss to let him know and he said my next check would have it, and it did not. I also found out they were sued at some point over this, the employee won, and they added the stipends after.

I let a new hire know about this and when he spoke to the boss, the boss said that only the closing shift gets this stipend because only they are supposed to use their phones. I think this is a flat out lie, because this distinction was never made to me when I was hired, I see all employees use their phones, and the new hires are also being taught to use them.

What are my next steps? Do I receive backpay for all the months I wasn't given a stipend for?

i made them sign a contract agreeing to pay me back but they are living off unemployment and moved somewhere unofficially so i have no paper trail or new address to track. the sheriffs office tried the last address i knew about but whoever lived there said they dont know him (even though his car was parked outside the house for weeks) and they gave up. they blocked my number and have ignored any attempts at communication.

what can i do from here? i have all the evidence on documentation to win in court. i dont care about the money, i care that they ran. i am not giving up on this, dont care what anyone says otherwise.
