was told a resume shouldnt be longer then 1 page (for reference im applying to mall security so low level security positions) i have enough to write a second page but it would likely be mostly filler and fluff. not having much luck with getting work so any advice would be much appreciated, also anything you would change, add or remove plz let me know and ill make those adjustments

She caught me checking my phone while walking back to my work center after pulling a pallet a to the back room, sure I shouldn't be on my phone while clocked in. She caught me on my phone while standing at the baler waiting for it to go up and down so I can get my key out, sure whatever I shouldn't be on my phone while clocked in.
Does that excuse you abandoning my department all day and just asking for updates on how we're doing with our load? Why am I expected to coordinate the team? Im just a TM. My SD is on vacation, my ETL is closing, its my TL's weekend off, you just fired 3 people from my work center and literally said you have no plans to replace them, its circle week and you scheduled the bare minimum in fulfillment so the slack is picked up by the sales floor team, today I skipped my breaks, and you feel the need to make sure my hands are free when i'm waiting for the baler to go up and down?
I told her exactly that as I past her and she stopped me with "Has no one ever talked to about your phone usage?" I really don't appreciate being policed like a middle school student while you are asking me to coordinate an entire section of the store as a TM.

I couldn’t figure out how to update the original post so I just put my update as a comment on the post but not sure how many people could see that so I decided just to make a separate post entirely for everyone who was interested in the outcome to make sure they could see it!
Edit to clarify: I don’t yet know the actual results of AP’s investigation just what they were suspecting the cause was at the beginning of the investigation based on previous incidents.
Our AP thinks it’s one of our cleaning crew (KBS) members who thinks that anything on the floor of the bailer aisle near the compactor is something that they need to throw out and they dump it into the compactor when they come back with their black bin full of trash from around the sales floor, because they’ve caught them throwing out IFUR (baby bulk/car seats) before on the camera footage that were left next to the baby bulk flat because we ran out of room at the end of the unload for them.
(During the overnight unload we use the baler wall as our bulk flat unload spot and the baby bulk flat is always last by the compactobaler). And our receiver typically has to let them into the compactor in the morning but sometimes is busy checking in a vendor and doesn’t notice what they did when they go back to lock the door up behind them. Now they’re going to have to be watched like a hawk taking care of anything at the compactor to make sure they don’t do that anymore!

Expected to experience a noteworthy Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of approximately 4% from 2022 to 2028, the global trash compactors market is poised for growth. A primary factor driving this expansion is the increasing cost of waste disposal, coupled with the rising volume of waste globally. Additionally, stringent regulations governing waste disposal in developed economies are expected to contribute to market growth over the forecast period. The rapid pace of urbanization and economic development has led to a significant surge in solid waste across various countries. Concerns about the limited capacity of landfills further fuel market projections in the upcoming years.

Hello Everyone, From south central Pa

I need some advice for my current situation that I find myself in. So, this has taken a while for me to come to terms with. To start im 35, lost my father 2 years ago at age 76, kinda suddenly. I have worked at our farm since I was kid and have never really left. So that being said we had a very work relationship, everything was work. Which I am okay with to a point cause farm is life, life is farm. Since passing I had to have a crash course in almost the whole finacial/paperwork/plannng side. Which has been most of my last 2 years, now I am coming to harder decisions, future altering choices/paths. I never went to collge and am married with 5 kids. Wife helps me with minor farm chores and paperwork. So im here to ask for some vision and advice, and honetly its almost like therapy typing all this out and hearing stories the like mine to know that I am not alone, so Thank You All in advance. 

Hogs: This is what brought home the bacon. But, after Some contract growers in our area came in disease pressure really set us back. In 2017 and 2021 we had severe outbreak of prrs. We couldnt get though the 79% mortality rate and abortions. 2017 we repopulated, 2021 outbreak, barn manager retired and dad passed within months of each other. Farm was a Farrow to Finish with the 600 crate gestation we have a 125 head farrowing facility. On the back end of the operation are 1,000 head finising facilities. Then barn is all together in a series of additions, gestation was built in early 2000's along with the remodel of everything else(nursies/farrowing/growers/finisher). This remodel is in the shell of the existing pole barn setup. Everything is on slats, outside of the farrow and nursuries which is on tri bar. Barn is showing its age and wear. Talked to some companies about a remodel if we want to stay in industry independently and they basically said almost a complete teardown and build. Along with the sweeping changes of prop 12 taking effect(Thanks Cali), I just feel uncertain about the future of independent Hog production to take on a $2mil+ loan. As of now buying growers from one of the last big independent in the state and finsihing them out to supply the demand in the area. That being said margins are tight and I feel like the hogs eat most the profit, we feed our own grown corn. Also only utilizing 30% of our barn space.
Market: The market in our area has changed drastically over the last 15 years. The Barn that housed a Graded feeder pig sale every month shut down a few years ago, which we where the main supplier. We have supplied almost every state in the north east, everything from independent growers to companies and packers. In the last 5 years of production the market seemed to stagnate. Along with the sale of market hogs to local butcher shops and sale barns.
Crops: 400 acres of owned (300 debt free) productive ground (for our area:Limestone) row crop, 600 acres of rented ground for row crop production. Have brought yeilds up with some minor changes, and variety changes while bringing costs down. Nothing drastic. Market grain to some elevators in area, soy mostly goes to Perdue. Have 60,000/bu storage on farm. Have also started cover crop incetive on MD ground(pays pretty well) and brought wheat into our roatation. Not quite an 1/3 rotation yet.
Cattle: Was left with 17 head of Black Angus Brood with some Charolais crosses. Have since built herd to 35 Brood cattle with 15 Heifers ready to be bred in spring. Luckily had a great genetic foundation for herd. New bull coming in spring. Cattle are on an 130 acre farm that is rented with lack luster facilities. But it works. Selling feeders in spring is how they pay now. Retaining most heifers for heard expansion based on quality.

Equipment: All paid, Combine is a newer model, hi boy sprayer, planter needs an update as it is about 10 years of and is a 12/23JD. All tractors are in fine shape. Only real need beside planter update is an baler of some sort. 

So here we are the crossroads. I am youngest of 6 kids. Only one at the farm, all have good jobs or retired, next closest brother is 16 years my elder. I have tried to have the conversatios about a trasition plan and was always told well get you a farm and bring you in like that so there is assets in your name. But then dad passed and farm has changed industries (kind of). So I know I am playing with fire, I have so much low pay sweat equity its kind of embarassing. I know we need to bring in some outside help for these coversations and to help with this mess of transitioning. But Im scared cause $17 an hr salary at 40 hrs wont pass to pay a farm note. Even though most weeks im hovering around 60 hrs unless its field work seasons. And Mom wants to be out of debt(not leave me any) before trasition happens. Still have 700k left most of which is old sow payments from repops. Any advice here is greatly appreciated. I have tried to maintain a positive outlook on the future, me the wife and kids love the work and the life of the industry. So in the midst of losing my father and working myself to death through the sadness(maybe running from it), I have some hard truths to accept and decisions to make. I dont see the hog industry getting any better for the mid size producer like we used to be, also it not my passion nor was my fathers. Dad just started out of necessity to do his first love of crops which is also mine. And independent Grower to finish does pay, but margins are tight. Cattle are a few years off to be taken seriously. Crops are doing well, only problem there is old order Mennonite community around me is running up rent on the county and purchasing 150bu an ac ground for 20k+ an acre using their church as the bank lol. After running this Farm for the time I have and managing though the chage of not having sows, I feel like we need something else, I have thought of the idea of Bell And Evans barns(chicken). I have done the footwork with local producers for them and everyone seems happy. Any thoughts on this industry? Or am I just being stupid. Should i just continue what we are doing? Any ideas? My Goal like my fathers is to carry on for the next generations to take over and be sucessful.
Thank You all for reading and sorry for Errors and fromat typing this on phone while running feed mill. And input on any of the things above is much appreciated. Any questions for me I will answer. And Finally Hug your Parents, tell them that work convo can wait, and tell them you love them and are Thankful for things they have done and sacrafices they have made. Do it before its too late, last convo with my father was a work convo before sudden passing.

I just started playing FS 23 for the Switch.

1. I can't seem to figure out how to feed the chickens. I read online that you can buy wheat at the dealership, but they have nothing for sale except equipment.
   
2. Sure seems equipment selection is lacking. Will it expand in the future? Two balers, really?
   
3. How do you build chicken coops? I see it was doable in FS 22? What about barns?
   

I work overnights & honestly it pisses me off extremely when I hear people from day shift have anything to say about nights! “What do they do all night?” “I don’t know what’s so hard about stocking at night, they don’t even have to deal with customers?”
One thing about me, ima say what I have to say with my whole chest because I take pride in what I do on nights. People from days could NEVER attempt to do what we do on nights. And ALL blame goes on us. Something’s “plugged” it was nights. Someone left trash by the baler right after a bale was made & nights start zoning BUT mind you day time shitheads are also in & they’re opening PDQ’s leaving trash in the belly/dance floor & breaking down shit from stack bases on sales floor and dropping their bullshit off by the baler thinking the cardboard will magically put itself in the baler smh. People know how to be fast & friendly with their shit but NEVER clean. When I see shit like that it tells me how a person lives, if you ain’t clean as a person or worker you ain’t even gotta tell me bout ya livelihood.
Also, days wonders why our shift specifically talks to other shifts recklessly & it’s because y’all look at us like we ain’t shit so here’s to add a little razzle dazzle to y’all’s day, we look like shit to y’all we’re gonna make you feel like shit, how bout them apples? hahaha but yeah, fr though why does everyone hate or complain bout overnights, I give ‘em BIG KUDO’s because people come from different jobs & come to overnights for the first time & most of them can’t hang because it’s A LOT. So why we so hated on yall? Our store manager even told other associates who wanted to transfer from days to nights like “why would you go to the forgotten shift?” man, don’t even sir. But yeah, lmk if y’all have the same issues. I wanna know all the juice about your overnights experiences at your Walmart & the beef morning/closing shift has with your night squad!

The Clarkson review: Isuzu D-Max — the pick-up with a kitchen in the boot
By Jeremy Clarkson (The Sunday Times, 29 October 2023)
If you’re umming and ahing about the wisdom of buying a pick-up truck, you need to ask yourself a question. What is in the boot of your car right now? I’m guessing not much. A jumper perhaps and maybe an old newspaper covered in weird stains. So there’s your answer. You don’t need a pick-up truck.
Things are different of course in the rural, red bits of America, where people routinely drive around with six bags of mulch, a leaf blower, a snowmobile, a chainsaw, three or four attack dogs, a crate of beer, six deckchairs and a semi-automatic rifle. That’s why they need a pick-up truck. And it’s the same story in South Africa, only with a different accent and more rifles. And Australia.
People in those countries who live in the sticks need to have half a dozen fence posts to hand at all times and a device for planting them in the ground. This is because they will crash off the road a lot and need the wherewithal to mend whatever they broke. It’s all check shirts and Budweiser and oily baseball caps and there’s no time at all for hanging ferns and Perrier water.
Things are different in England because by and large there are no sticks. You’re never more than seven miles from a shop where you can grind your own potpourri and roll your own oats. And all your friends live in houses that are adjacent to a road, not at the far end of an 18-hour cross-country drive over ground that’s festooned with snakes and spiders so big you can tell whether they’re sad.
This is why the pick-up truck was never really a thing in the UK. That and the fact that we are European, so we are, what’s the word? Civilised. We don’t want to be bounced around in what PJ O’Rourke described as a beer-guided back porch. We prefer Volkswagen Golfs.
Sure, there were people here who needed pick-ups for work. But we never saw them because they lived in the forest, driving Subarus made from corrugated iron that could be bought only from agricultural shops. Or old Land Rovers held together, like their owners’ trousers, with baler twine. No normal person would want such a thing.
But then everything changed. Subaru started making normal cars and Land Rover decided its Defender should be for the town. This meant the nation’s country people were rather stuck. And to solve the problem, they all, to a man, alighted on the Mitsubishi L200. Every single farmer I know has one. Except Kaleb, who has two.
I can see why they liked it. It was reliable and well priced and capable of carrying a bull in the back while towing two more in a trailer behind. But most of all it was simpleness with added simplicity. A spoon has more moving parts.
Now, though, Mitsubishi no longer operates in the UK, so once again our gnarled friends in the hills are casting around for a replacement. And that’s a problem because there isn’t one. Not really. And there’s a good reason for that. The people who need pick-up trucks in this country to ferry around their dogs, and the bag to carry their arm after they’ve cut it off by mistake, want something cheap. No nonsense. No frills. But vehicles like this are extremely unprofitable for the carmakers. They want customers to buy Apple CarPlay and cruise control and electric tailgates because that’s where the profits live. In the options list.
Solution? Easy. Make pick-up trucks appeal to ordinary folk as they do in America. Give them four seats, leather upholstery, sat-nav, air conditioning and hot and cold running electric seats. And that’s exactly what Nissan, Volkswagen and Mercedes did a few years ago. And it didn’t work because it turned out that normal people in the UK don’t need a car that’s impossible to park and bouncy as hell when all they need to carry around is a jumper and a stained newspaper. So now their offerings are all gone.
Ford is soldiering on with its Ranger and making it appealing with clever financing. But Isuzu has gone down another route and ended up with the D-Max you see here. It started out in life as a barely profitable farmer special, but then along came an Icelandic outfit, Arctic Trucks, whose work I know well. They prepared the Toyota Hilux that took James May and me to the North Pole. They know that what people want is a Tonka-toy look, and what that means is big wheels. Really big. And that’s what this D-Max has. The “35” in its name is the size, in inches for God’s sake, of its tyres.
To get them to fit, the chassis had to be lifted and altered, so now you can pretty much drive over St Paul’s Cathedral and not hit the cross. And the standard suspension was replaced with a Bilstein set-up. Not that it has much to do as those enormous tyres absorb everything. You could run over a brick in this car and simply not know it.
Next up, an Australian he-man outback company called ARB — this must be the most international car ever — was called upon to fit a fully equipped kitchen unit that slides out of the load bed. And on the roof is a tent. (This and the kitchen are optional and cost an extra £6,000 including VAT.)
So that’s excellent. Isuzu flogs a few of these high-profit-margin Tonka toys with a house on the roof — along with Apple CarPlay, sat-nav, air con and the ability to carry more than a tonne in the back while towing 3.5 tonnes behind — and that enables it to keep on importing poverty-spec models for farmers and forestry peeps.
Just two problems. The 35 is fitted with a beep for everything. It beeps when you reach a new speed limit. It beeps when you’re going backwards. It beeps when you are breathing in and it beeps when you are breathing out. It drove me mad after less than a mile.
But what drove me even more mad was the 1.9-litre engine. You read that right. This leviathan has fewer cubes than a Golf. And rattly, diesely, gutless cubes at that. Plus, first gear is so short you need to shift to second about a yard after you start moving. I’m told the automatic version is better but that’s so slow, 0 to 60 is barely possible.
There is some comfort. Toyota can sell you an Arctic Trucks-modified Hilux that has an actual engine with actual power.
So there we are, a whole piece on pick-up trucks without once mentioning how they are now nothing more than machinegun- mounting points with wheels. I must be getting old.

Life at a top health farm: sweat, awful sleep and celery juice
By Jeremy Clarkson (The Sunday Times, 29 October 2023)
Here’s a tip. If your wife or girlfriend says you’ve been working very hard and that you need a break in a luxury hotel, don’t just nod and go. Check the details. Because if you don’t, you could very easily end up, as I did all last week, in a bloody health resort.
Set in spectacular countryside on the banks of a beautiful river, it looked like a hotel. There was a pool, a gym, lots of places to chill out and relax and even some pickleball courts. I was very happy. And I remained very happy until I discovered that while there was a communal dining room, there was no actual kitchen. I’d be living for seven whole days on nothing but the juice from vegetables.
That was bad enough, but then I discovered there was also no bar. That made my teeth itch with worry because, to me, not drinking is like doing a handstand. It’s technically possible for a little while but a week?
The main problem is sleep. If you go to bed with a clear head, your mind is active, so it chews stuff over and works things out. This means you don’t fall asleep till two. Which means you don’t wake up till nine. And because you didn’t wake up till nine, you won’t fall asleep the following night till three. Not drinking then gives you slow-motion jet lag.
None of my fellow inmates seemed to mind though. They were almost exclusively the sort of ladies you see on Henman Hill, or at a performance of Mamma Mia!, or clapping along to the music at the Horse of the Year Show. It was like being in a hotel with 50 facsimiles of my dear mother.
They were there, it seems, to reset themselves. But to when? The last time I was fit and thin, I was 11 years old and I’m not sure a week of vegetable juice would get me back that far. Although the swimming pool was so cold, it might have made a decent fist of getting my testicles back to where they were in 1971.
It’s strange waking up in the morning knowing that there’s no breakfast. Not even a cup of coffee. Instead, I was given a glass of something called wheatgrass. Now I’ve eaten grasshoppers and tarantulas and I once had a seven-day egg which had bit of beak and an eye in it. All of those things were pretty awful. But nothing, nothing gets close to the gut-retching dreadfulness of wheatgrass.
The day wore on and soon I wanted a drink. And then I wanted lunch. So I repaired to the communal dining room — the worst three words in the English language — where the Henman Hill ladies were busy reminiscing about Sanyo Music Centres. And I was given a beaker of celery juice. Which wasn’t a drink. Or lunch.
Afterwards, I read my book, and glowered at Lisa as she gaily jogged from the sauna to the yoga lesson where, apparently, they were teaching the ladies about the art of “self-love”. As I already know how to do that, I decided to spend some time in a large warm pool in a room full of dim lighting and whale song.
Apparently, the water is enriched with salts and revitalising minerals and all sorts of other words from the stupider parts of the internet. And it was very nice, apart from one thing. It was like the Dead Sea in there and, as a result, I couldn’t sink.
If I tried sitting down on one of the tiled underwater benches, I sort of floated upwards and then rolled over. And if I tried lying down, my buttocks felt like they were full of helium, which made my head sink. And so, in a desperate bid to not drown, I ended up looking like Sandra Bullock in Gravity. Endlessly swivelling round and grabbing on to stuff that was always just out of reach.
After this unrelaxing experience, there was still no food or drink and Lisa was having a tube pushed up her bottom, for fun, so I thought I’d try the walking machine, or running machine as some people call it. And while travelling up an incline of three degrees at a brisk 7km/ph, my trousers fell down. Later, one of the Henman Hill ladies asked why I hadn’t simply jumped onto the side bars which is what you’re supposed to do apparently. But you can’t when your feet are tied together by your own strides.
Nor, due to all the sweat in my eyes, could I see which of the 25 buttons on the controls would make the damn thing stop. In the end, I shot off the back of the conveyor belt and fell over. I have vowed never to go on a walking machine again. I have also vowed to steer clear of health farms.
I have deliberately not named the establishment that provided all this misery, or even said where it is because that would be unfair. Yes, I’d rather spend a week with Greta Thunberg at a kumbaya peace and love festival but several of the Abba fans staying there were on their fifth or sixth visit and all of them plainly loved every minute. Swimming naked in the river. Making new friends. And shedding a few pounds.
If you’re into communal dining and bouncing up and down all day long, it’s great. The staff are wonderful, and the guy who runs it is funny, engaging and plainly a brilliant businessman. Because let’s face it, he’s charging top dollar to stay in his hotel and he doesn’t have to waste any of that income on bar staff or chefs.
It was all lost on me though. In fact, by Thursday, I was so miserable that I elected to go into hospital and have an operation. I was planning to have this procedure done when I got home but it seemed more sensible to get it out of the way on Lisa’s well-deserved break. And as I lay there, under the surgeon’s knife, I couldn’t help thinking: “This is better”.
