Work

As of right now I am 18 years old and looking into the future is depressing. I figure I’m gonna have to work 8 hours a day, sleep 8 hours a day and then have 8 hours a day to myself. This does not include things like getting ready for work, commute or shopping/cooking. At the end of the day I’m only going to have a few hours to do what I want... for over 40 years. It seems like my entire life is just preparing me to follow directions and then putting me into a factory where I’m a brick in a wall (reference intended). When I tell other people this, I get a response along the lines of: “That’s what everyone has to do,” or “That’s how its always been.” Why? Even if it is how life works. How it has to be to maintain quality for everyone. What is the point in living? This is existential crisis material. Thanks for reading.

tl;dr - People think I’m crazy for thinking working 1/3rd of your life is crazy.

EDIT: Thank you guys for blowing this up!

I have a friend who is baffled why men don't enjoy movies or books in the "romance" genre. She says it's because men are often too insecure in themselves to feel like they can enjoy that sort of thing.

In my opinion, it's a lot more simple and upsetting. Where women look at romance novels and see love and caring, men look at them and see work.

To be fair, sometimes these movies and novels hide it pretty well. Maybe it starts with a happenstance encounter, a "meet cute." The relationship will progress - sometimes it will look like it's by accident. Loving glances are exchanged. Meaningful gestures of affection are performed. Eventually things reach a head and the characters begin ravishing each other, unable to keep their affection hidden any longer.

What most women will see is a guy who is empathetic and open and aboundingly loving.

What most men will see is a horrifying amount of work and luck. These novels and movies often treat the man as an almost omniscient entit

Quick update - you guys are magnificent bastards. Who would have thought an absent minded post this morning has triggered an amalgamation of emotions from nostalgia to homesickness.

So far I have enough ammunition to cripple the business for the foreseeable future, looks like you're having fun too, so I wont stop you.

How is this even a major talking point in every podcast and on YouTube? How is it controversial that the DualShock 4 only works on backwards compatible PS4 games on PS5, when that’s all it needs to do. When did we get to this point where we expect controllers from a previous generation to work on the new console? NES controllers didn’t work on the SNES, N64, the GameCube,the Wii, the Wii U or the Switch. This isn’t exactly revolutionary that a new controller comes with new buttons, or in this case, new features that will only work on the new console. I just don’t get how this is even a talking point.

Throwaway because I don't want this on my main account.

I (32M) am working long hours in a rather stuffy office environment. However, despite the long hours (or maybe because of them), the management has encouraged "lifestyle" clubs at the workplace. For example, there is a Book Club, a Movie Lovers Club etc. They are free to join and are partially subsidised by the company, which makes joining a no-brainer. The process of creating one is rather simple: you need to have at least five members willing to join, a statement of purpose, as well as an approval from HR and upper management in order to be compliant with our workplace regulations.

At my workplace, I have a colleague I'll call Jane (29F) who has been at the office for a little over a year. She is a dedicated vegan and has been since I have known her. However, this has never been an issue or even that relevant. After a merger about six months ago, our team has received a number of new team members. A few of them were vegan as w

I learned that the hard way. Just fyi I understand how well water conducts heat. It's just something you don't think of at the time

As a pharmacist, I am so sick and tired of pretending to be a doctor. Its so annoying how everyone in my profession has this doctor imposter syndrome. It even influences the way we dress.

Why on earth do we wear labcoats? Who’s idea was this? What are we protecting our underclothes from exactly?

Its time we start to distinguish ourselves from other medical professions. Scrubs are for nurses. Labcoats are for doctors (and actual lab people).

It should be a requirement for pharmacists to wear capes to distinguish ourselves from others. There is no practical reason for wearing capes, I’ll admit, but neither is there a practical reason to wear a labcoat.

Additionally, I’m tired of being summoned to help a customer (probably with something incredibly stupid, obvious, or boring) without making a grander entrance. If I had a cape, I could briskly walk towards the costomer and come to a quick stop and allow the cape to flow up and consume me a little before I begin to speak.

First of all, thank you so much for the support on my first post. I did not expect it to gain that much attention. I guess a lot happened since then? I don't know if it's even been a week yet. But this is going to change my life, perhaps for the better.

There were hundreds of comments, and I'd thought I'd address a few questions regarding the rape itself. I don't appreciate how some of these were asked, but I'll share anyway for the sake of clarifying things.

1. Was I under the influence? Yes, but I remember vividly saying no. I was drunk enough to have all my strength and mobility wonky but I didn't black out or anything. The force he used on me didn't seem that of someone who was drunk, he looked completely sober, but I could be wrong. I remember a couple of times when I was trying to lift myself off the bed and he w

I own my own business, and one of my rules is that my employees have to either call me "sir" or use my last name. They are not allowed to call me by my first name. I'm not old by any means, but this was always the rule when I was coming up and I think it is a good rule especially since a lot of people in the work force today don't know how to behave and take advantage of the freedoms they are given.

My mother and stepfather came to me recently and asked me if I could find work for my stepfather. I usually don't hire family or friends. It is asking for trouble IMO, but I made an exception this time because of their financial situation.

I did mention my rule to him when he had orientation, but either he wasn't paying attention or decided not to follow it and ended up calling me by my first name. That didn't bother me because sometimes new employees make mistakes. I politely pulled him aside and reminded him of the rule. He said he understood and it wouldn't happen again except it did

Edit: let's get this issue trending. See my post here if you want to help me call attention to this incredibly widespread problem.

My sister and sister in law work in healthcare. Both have been inappropriately touched by patients numerous times.

I work in eye care, I haven't been touched inappropriately but I've had patients say some pretty gross things to me.

My friends who are nurses also report inappropriate touching, it's almost the norm.

Being a woman working in healthcare can really fucking suck sometimes.

Usually it's patients with dementia, but not always.

I wrote a vent on reddit a while ago about something a man said to me when I was working, and one of the comments was pretty much the title of this post.

That makes me sad. I'm sad that this is our reality as women in healthcare, and that all we can do is grow a thicker skin.

Unlike the different portrayals of Sherlock Holmes(plays + TV Shows + Movies), the book depicts something very - very different. In the book, Holmes isn't some irritating sociopath who has ZERO feelings. He doesn't undermine other people because they are lesser than him. But he is something very similar to all of us : He too is Ordinary!

Yes he has these amazing observational skills but that never intervenes with this conduct towards other people. He is very humble towards everyone, never ignores anyone, always makes it a point to at least hear the other person, never undermines the other person cause he / she lacks something.

And it doesn't just end there, the story line is completely different and the character arc is totally off to. In the books, the story revolves around the life of the characters, not just S.H. it shows how everyone at the end of the day is HUMAN and how it is not the guy but the circumstances that depict a crime.

Even the entry and exit of Sherlock's arc nemes

So I have been out of work for over a 8 months now. This happened because of my fight with depression. I had tried to get out of the hole for so long, but after fighting forever I finally decided that the first thing I needed to do was take some time off of work and get counseling. My wife was really supportive at the beginning. She handled it really well and really took care of me. About 5 months into it she started making comments hinting that I should try to look for work soon. I told her that my therapist said that I shouldn’t rush into it and that I should only do it when I’m completely ready. She would argue a little bit but would just accept it. Now she does work a lot. She’s a nurse so she’s been taking up a lot of shifts lately. She has definitely been working over ever since I’ve been out of work.

The other day she finally snapped. She told me that if I don’t try to go back to work soon then she doesn’t see how this relationship can continue to work. She called me lazy and

Hi all, This is the link to my website to prove that I am who I say I am ➡ www.danielcatalan.com. And here is more proof.

I love what I do as my work is social in nature. I interview all of my clients who hail from all walks of life and locations all over the world. During these meetings we have profound conversations as I write their new resumes/CVs in real-time, sharing my screen with them via Zoom so they can observe the new document as it is being built and collaborate on the process. I've refined resume/CV writing down to a science and it takes me 1.5 hours maximum to create a compelling document. The results speak for themselves as many of my clients have achieved their goals.

September marks one year of this being my full-time job instead of a side hustle, and I am grateful to have a job that I derive meaning from, which in turn helps others find work that they themselves can derive meaning from.

Ha! Haha! Hahahaha! These people think people are lining up to be teachers. This has got to be my new favorite line.
