New job wishes quotesm

Dear,
Michael Browner
You don't know me, well, the real me. But I have learned much about you. First, I wanted to thank you for allowing me time to use your body, I experienced and learned so many wondrous things! You see, where I come from, we do not have bodies nor shape. We occupy time but not space. Very different from you humans who simply occupy one singular slot of time but wherever you so well choose, you may occupy space.
Your body allowed me to experience what I never have before. In truth, I intended to keep your body permanently. When I first occupied it, you must remember the tirade I went on. I'm sorry about your wife and family. I hope they come to forgive you for my actions... You see, I initially thought you humans to be simply specs of dust. Living such short lives, what did your existence truly matter?
But as I continued forth in my derailing of your life for my own selfish needs, I slowly learned that you humans are...worthy of care. When I spent my days roaming, obtaining nourishment and doing what is needed for my survival I developed what you call, loneliness. If you recall my first boyfriend Johnathan, I much delighted in learning of him and the world around. Not for me caring but for my own entertainment. With time as my interest waned and I "ghosted" him I saw that he hurt. Felt complex emotions due to my actions and that was my first real negative feeling. My first real, human emotion as you may call it. That I, a being above you, did a bad thing. As you know, things did not work with him and I became better as I had a variety of lovers. Each, taught me more about your world.
I experienced the seven continents in my short time here and saw awe and wonder from the human eyes. Your eyes. As time went forward and I continued to learn, I understood that I had wasted what you had called a "savings" and "retirement." When I took a job at the place called McDonalds, it came to me how much time and effort you must have put in to obtain the money you did. By my calculations to accrue the savings you had, you must have worked for several hundred years.
The job became boring and the need for money to continue doing what I wished to do was overwhelming and with my burgeoning empathy I decided you, deserved your body back.
Again, you have my forever and greatest gratitude for the time spent in your skin. Looking through time, I was able to find the best order for you to invest into the stock market to regain your several hundred years of time. You should return to several times your invest in the next three months if you follow the laid out plan.
Thank you once more and I am hopeful for the rest of your life looking ahead,
Former Michael Browner

So here we are at last. Hurrah. (In pirates voice )The end. Part 4. As it were. (Laugh at them) I'm just sayin I'm insane!
If I can even think i can change anything at this stage of the game, I must be insane. And yet I do believe. Because I believe in the goodness of us. And the reason I believe in the goodness of you, is because even within a world wot currently, externally, places so little value, on goodness, I still observe, the goodness shared between friends and good strangers alike. 100 times a day. More, if I pay closer attention.
And so by mine own eyes, the whitless witness, I believe in the goodness, I see in you, pretty much all o' you. But every day. And because I believe wot I see, so yet I have hope for us. So yea, that's me insane then! Ho hey, hey ho. And on we go.
So, dearly beloved we are gathered here today to confront the spaces we have allowed to grow between us.
To confront the void, from which our current sense of hopelessness, wot we are all stuck in together, but feeling alone with, eminates.
Look at them seriously Stevie.... challenge them to think about it with just your eyes.
The truths waiting in t'wings to be rediscovered to replace the bollockshit lies we have come to believe about each other, on t'other side. And each other, of course, is just another, way, of saying ourselves? Right?
For no matter how much, both sides doth protest of each other too much
We only are, ourselves. Together.
Just us lot. Making it up as we go along, and trying to not let on, together.
Right?
For better or worse.
Because only together can we rediscover and so reconnect with the common ground that we hadn't even realised was at stake, at the time, ways back when, which it woz. And which we then lost; gave up, infact. We had to; couldn't hold the common ground and prove each other wrong, so away we all trouped, and we didn't stop, until either side could no longer hear t'others poisoned lies.
And so our problem right now, is found within the truth of the words ’we can only do this together. And we certainly can't do this against each other. Because the truth of the this is only to be found listening to the words of each other. The thing we can only do together. Upon our common ground. Cumon. It's time to find our way back. Try to remember.
I told you before. Remember! Trust me, its going to get harder, but then you will Remember. Just stick with it a little longer. It will get better.
A moment in time for us to shine approaches..... Become stronger.
Cuz these strange days is the time of EitheOr. Transition Time, and we've been here before. Many times in fact. The only time in fact, to heal, the break, whilst it's actually a'breakin, round us. And us! Cuz once the spirit of our goodness is crushed, once we no longer feel reciprocation within our wider world, so we are forced into darkness to reset, allowing the break to go unfixed and the faulty cycle to complete, and so we are then forced to repeat, these crazy times again. And again. And again. Just Cuz we didn't learn the lesson in time, in time. This time around.
This bit in which we find ourselves right ere right now in fact, this bit in which we can't see the woods for the trees.... But still. I tell you buddy, woods are just full'o trees. Cumon. It's become time to remind yerself to think clearly again.
You are it's measure. We are, together. The measure of this bit, our time, these days, right now.
Just sayin
And this journey we all have to choose to take, to achieve all of this, can only begin when you start to believe in the goodness of enough of us again, and really I mean, when you choose to see, that just as on your side, some of those on t'other side of your particular divide, are gooduns too. Some notsomuch. Ja mais vu. But this is the truth that unites all sides, the truth that for us, will ever be, our humanity. (Dah dah dahhh) (Start rubbing head) And that journey can only begin after you have confronted the void buddy. A moment deep down, in some ways, some of us have always known would be waiting, didn't we. Haven't we. Known. That at some point in our future. A moment...... Just like this one.......
Well your future has arrived buddy. All of our futures have. Cuz Its time.
But you can do this. I believe in you.
REWRITE So firstly buddy we have to see what we have come to see. You and me. To first peer, into the void, and then you have to choose to steer, into the void. To first feel what its oppresivity has allowed us to become to each other. Because this is what we do to each other, when we are blinded by fear, surrounded by darkness, and feeling so alone, so desperately alone, that we allow ourselves to be forced to conform by contorting to fit the faulty framework. Which secondly is just a fancy rhyming pants way o'sayin, when our fear gets our better, and drives us to hide, alone, but actually all together, huddled inside, the void.
(Master you) Too much (tap head)
So we're going to choose to confront the void, and then we are going to choose to go into the void, and then we're going to pull ourselves out.
And you are going to resist.
So you have to be the strong one in all this.
But trust me. I promise, with my love, I won't let you go.
Breathe. Even if you do feel silly, please, do it for a buddy, buddy. Breathe. And..... then breathe again. This time just a lil deeper, a lil slower. Breathe comfortably once more and you may notice that whereas at times in our recent past, you may have found yourself struggling for breath, so now just notice how easy your breathing is.....see. You're looking for your old rhythm now... Remember, before the anxiety set in ... Try to Remember what it felt like, when you breathed freely.
To breathe normally.
And breathe.
Normanly!
And as you settle into your old groove, then take a few more comfortable breaths, just because, you know, you can again....
And breathe.
Now, with yer focus on yer Eupnea, yer trying to look fer, the sliver of a moment bein the bit after y'exhale has ended, but before y'inhale begins. (Do it here) That one teeny tiny point which exists for just a tiny instant, but again and again, within us, moment by moment, breath by breath, each turn of your own lifecycle: all of us connected, by this shared moment, wether we choose to believe it or no, by this thinest delicatist moment we are all connected by , right up til our penultimate breath. Just sayin.Just notice it, as you reach it, each time, in time, its time comes around. (Here)The individual lustre of a moment between moments when everything hangs in the balance....
Without rushing your comfortable breathing, when its time comes round, this is the moment you now aim for each time it comes around. (HERE)
And now Notice it's depth, even as it all too briefly fleets past, you can yet perceive great depth, within the slither. (Here)

And now next time, or maybe the next time after your breathing reaches this moment, cast your minds eye , like a fisherman casts their fly, aiming into the very heart of that fleeting moment each time it passes by. (Here) Again and again each time it's time comes, you cast, until more often than not your aim meets it's mark. (Here) Until eventually you feel confident enough with your aim, in that fleeting moment inside, so to try, to flip your view from micro to macro. So still tho a fleeting moment, you begins to discern it's brilliance, each time, from within. And so now as this moment appears, each time within your own personal timeline: rush to reach deep inside it to look for and then to find the tiny seed of peace, deep within the heart between each moment. Each and every time, between each and every breath now you look for this moment and you find it. Let its momentary cyclical pulse of sweet peace become familiar to you. It is, after all, a part of the cycle of you. And so now as you continue to comfortably breathe, Anticipate it..... This beautiful moment between breaths, between times, you are trying to elongate it.. to stretch it out, and now not this time, but maybe the next time, or maybe the next next time, anticipate that beautiful moment, then experience that beautiful moment, and then take an extra moment, elongate that moment: hold time in your mind as you hold your breath for just a slight moment lond itger, (HERE) and then without really you thinking about it, as you then get picked up by the cycle of time again, you just become uncoupled. And so now you are ready. Just simply drop out of time. It's ok. Let go. I've got you. 

(Here, or not) Booof!
There you go. Just for a minute. Just you and me buddy. Connected by just our love. And how amazing is that! And I promise I won't let go.
Ive brought you here cuz you needs to feel what it does to you buddy. Cuz wot it does, is why we then allow ourselves to do, wot we then do, to each other, and the kiddies. Why it makes us bring out the worst in each other. So we can realise how to stop bringing out the worst in each other. And to confront it we needs to understand what its oppressive hopeless energy feels like, discrete from our own personal burdens. Which is why you needs to confront it out of time. See. You need to learn it's discrete burden so then you know what it is you need to choose to ignore, when this moment ends and you go back to feeling it all. So that it can then begin to heal for us all. So we all can..... Before we all can, move on .......or at least just enough of us. I hope that makes sense. I wish I had better words for it to make better sense.
All the pain you feel in your heart right now, out of time, is just the void.
You can feel it, can't you. Good. That's just what it feels like when we are in needing of healing is all. The thing we can only do for each other, with our love.
And now we've found this space outside of time together. It's time, together, to steer into the void. A trick I learnt from an organisation I'm passionate about. A long time ago. To see, wot we needs to see.
REWRITE Do you remember that seed of imagination we set loose and slowly sent way down, until It slipped from memory, at the beginning of part 1? And if you don't, and I'm right, then it doesn't actually matter anyways. Hey ho. The dreams worth of hope we set loose to plumb our depths. Well hopefully it has now fulfilled it's purpose. Because now all you needs to do is just follow it's trail, that starts exactly where you stopped thinking bout it, in your mind, as deep as you stuck with the thought, begin your search there and once you find its end, just simply allow yerself ter zoom along it's length like data along a fibre optic cable - and then popping out the end. And if you didn't do the thing in part 1, it's ok, then just pretend 😁
Booof!
And if you did do the thing in part one. when you arrive, if you notice a bloke with a unicorn, don't worry about it.
And so we have arrived, now, you and I, but now you have to choose to steer Into your own personal deepest darkness. The place only you know exists inside of you, where your own lil bit of our void resides. Turn to face it, and then just start Pushin through in your mind. The resistance, with the fear, will pass.
Keep pushing through the fear, and when it subsides, allow yourself to chill out for a while whilst you adjust to this deeper darkness. And then so acclimatised. in your mind, just keep pushin on. And what feels so close around you, all around you, suffocatingly so, is just the pain of the void.
Keep calm and you will acclimatise to it's cyclical waves of intensity. The sickness feeling will pass, hopefully.
Try to think It's like entering lake water
Breathe comfortably still. Remember. I'm here too.
And when you feel the resistance subside and so the moment of panic passes, you have arrived, close both your actual eyes and your minds eyes, and then just use your love to probe around in the darknes, to discover where it hurts the most. And once you are confident it's truly the most hurty place, then simply hold your hands out, open your eyes and look down and you will see yourself. The scared you. The afraid you. Be strong, I've got you two. They/you reach up with grateful eyes, and desperate hands and with tears in your own, take theirs, and lift them up, reach around to support them - they are weak, but you will grow stronger. And then reunited again, shuffle round, 180 degrees like really bad salsa dancers, on your heels, in your mind and then facing away from the pain, take one purposeful step, together, back out of the void.
Not a giant step. But a confident step. Nonchalantly, and with just a touch of swagger if you can manage it😁
Cuz fuck it. You know.
See I knew I was right about the time thing.
We all know that time is the key that unlocks the future, but it can also be used to seal the past. But only once enough of us are ready to give enough of us a second chance. Which really just means a new path. A new perspective, and all that really means is are you ready to move on? To create an anchor point in time, together, from which to pivot our path, and so then to face what wos always going to becoming our ways anyways, our generations veritable ecological destiny, from the very start of time. Think about that! But now think about it, together.
And so finally, before time notices we are AWOL, and so before this moment passes, (leaving you to wonder if it ever really happened....long pause, look at em all)
There's just time for a quick sandbox reality experiment!
Imagine yerself a world, a facimily of this one, but yer made-up world is made up of good folks, who thanks to a reality flash realised, together, that the only true value to their continued existence was to be found in the community of each other. All of em, together. Or not at all.
Eitheor.
Just that.
And these good folks, not dissimilar to ourselves infact, realised that if they could help each other get their shit together, they could change their future together, and if they came up with a good enough framework, framework 2.0 as it were, that that change, could be, forever.
And because they did, so they did.
In your sandbox reality, Imagine what it feels like, being the good folks who achieved all that, in our near future, and then all you needs to do , is just take here, now, today as your starting point, and then just work out how to become them. And that's the journey just enough of us have to take, if we want things to go differently from this, for us. From now on.
I don't make the rules, and you get to choose your own path. But know, that whether you realised this moment as a choice or no, in these changing times, a choice, by us all, will be made.
And as time finally looses patience with us, so our moment out of time, as all moments, in and out of time, must, transitions.
So finally.... There is a moment in our future where all this has already happened. I know this, because I have been there and I have felt what it feels like to be apart of. Its beautiful beyond my megre words, like turds, will ever be able to express.
And every generation that comes after those heroes of humanity, blesses the very day, the very hour, minute and second that their forebares finally chose to choose. Better. for each other, and all I'm sayin is why not us. Why not here, why not now, today. The moment when humanity finally realised the truth of the words; that it doesn't have to be this way.
StevieP Mar- apr 2021 and then April onwards 2022. Re picked up apr 24 I watched kid goats frolicking, a long time ago now, with a friend, at a farm. Happy memories indeed!
And now another year has gone by, and here I am again, believing that Ive given my very best, hoping it will become enough and eagerly awaiting the chance to try to begin our Summer Of Love 2022.
Well May 24 today and that shit didn't happen! Heya ho. And on we go. Onwards and upwards. And once more with pasta.
That doesn't sound right.

Asalamu alaykum everyone I recently reverted in October so this will be my first summer as a Muslim. Since reverting I’ve been fairly good with prayer and during Ramadan I didn’t miss a single prayer. But since the days are getting longer I’m having trouble praying. I recently got a new job and the hours are really earlier. Some days I start as early as 4:30 am to 1:15 pm so I sometimes have time to pray fajr and duhr when I get home but I get tired and need to sleep before isha and maghrib sometimes. This week only I had training from 9-5 and so I would have to make up duhr when I get home. The prayers I’m really struggling with though are maghrib and isha especially isha. I got in the rhythm of not praying some prayers and then didn’t pray any some days. For the most part my schedule will stick to early mornings to afternoon (4:30am~ to 1pm~) and I am stressed out on how I’m going to get enough sleep and pray my prayers on time especially maghrib and isha since they will continue to get later. If you guys have any tips on how to get a good amount of sleep and prayer all prayers please let me know!! Jazakallah khair❤️

Hi all,
Wondering if pursuing this issue is worth it. I’m a manger and my district supervisor is who I report to. His wife runs a food delivery business. At our job we’re allowed to order food from Uber (we have a subscription through work with them), and I make one big order for the whole office every Monday. He is new, when he joined he had us, and every other office in his district, use his wife’s business to deliever food, this wasn’t given as an option. After getting complaints of the food quality I took it to HR and asked about a clear conflict of interest here. I’m assuming they talked to him as food delivery from his wife’s business stopped and we went back to normal ordering.
Shortly after the complaint I received a PIP that was “a month late”. Some of the stuff was true, and some wasn’t. The things that weren’t true were very nit picky and not reflective of my job performance. I am currently meeting all my goals and the PIP doesn’t reflect the things that were improved in the office, I was able to turn the offices numbers around drastically from when I first inherited it, (a few months before he joined). There were some rough patches but we have been up and running and meeting all goals in the months leading to the PIP, if it has to be exact I would say there were a clear two months where things we’re turned around prior to delivery of the PIP.
The issue here is the PIP directly prevents me from earning bonuses until the PIP is satisfied (there is no timeline for anything on the PIP, and most consistent of qualitative issues like cleanliness). So I busted my ass turning around this office for bonuses, and then lost the ability to earn those bonuses after getting it to where it needed to be.
Is it worth it to pursue this internally, externally, etc?

I am looking for 1 player to join my Sword World 2.0 Procelsia: A Secret History campaign book game weekly on Thursday 8pm BST / GMT +1 for 3 hours every game, after a player has dropped out due to getting a different job (and Ive had trouble finding a +1 elsewhere).
Sword World is THE major japanese ttrpg along with Call of Cthulhu, and is heavily linked to things like Loddoss and Rune Soldier.
The system uses 2d6 for all roles, and if you have a relevant class you instead roll 2d6 + class level + ability score modifier. It has three different types of combat, but the one we will play with is Simple Combat which uses three zones - Party Rearguard, Frontline, Enemy Rearguard (you can think of these as being like an old final fantasy game - the mages and rangers are in the back while the warriors are up front). Ultimately its a rather easy and intuitive system to learn.
In the setting of Sword World, humanoid species (your typical fantasy races but also includes races like robots, stone men, rabbit people) fight against the barbarous species (your typical monster races) in a typical fantasy world 300 years after an era changing, planet wide war.
The premise of the game follows a campaign book (which is basically a dnd module like curse of strand) and the synopsis is:

• "You are in the Procelsia region, which consists of the Sleth Archipelago in the east of the Terastier continent and a small part of the eastern edge of the continent. Here, dragons and humans coexist in a unique society with their own culture. The PCs travel from place to place in their quest to avert a crisis that is slowly creeping across the region with the companion npc, Franset Lorance."

The gameplay of the campaign book is going through 11 Scenarios (which are meant to last 4 hours each (1 japanese game session), some are split into 2 and meant to last 8 hours (2 japanese game sessions)), with each scenario having a small 3x3 / 4x4 map that the pcs travel on as a grid, with some events that happen on each space as they go to their objective and fight things, and so its extremely rail roaded.
We have currently finished the 3rd scenario and wish to finish the entire campaign book so all 11 scenarios (played consistently for 7 weeks) and I am looking for one other person to join us on roll20 to make 4 player characters total. If you got to this point and are interested in playing this jttrpg, I would suggest having alook at the lore and setting for Sword World 2.0/2.5 (ソード・ワールドRPG, even though it has a link to Loddoss, it is NOT Loddoss nor shares the same setting) or pming me any questions.
If this setting and jttrpg seems interesting to you, and you would be interested in committing to and playing a weekly 3 hour game of this short-medium length campaign (it may be a stretch to play and commit to a game system you didnt know about before now but... here we are), please make a post here.

I use maybelline fit me 22 it’s a really good shade match. Recently my under eyes got darker (new job) and the concealer is looking grey.
The concealer still matches the rest of my face it just looks grey on my eyes.
I don’t know what I should do to stop the greying.
I’m a light-medium olive btw if it helps

Short background, but me and my roomate of 1 year would get in frequent arguments and yelling matches over things - we both got hot headed and were stubborn. In the past she threatened to get her dad to come and “beat the fuck out of me” amongst other things, but we were also friends and these kinds of things would usually be apologized for and forgotten the next day and we would move on with our lives. We were actually fairly close - I would hang out in her room daily, we would watch tv, smoke a joint, go on trips together, do chores, do each other favours etc etc. this was only a platonic friendship as well.
2 weeks ago, we got into a yelling match again and she brought my mom into the argument, calling her an extremely rude word. I got really upset with that, and stormed over to her and said “if you ever say something about my mom again I’ll kill you”. Not a great thing but I obviously had/have no intentions of this as a heated moment wasn’t something new for us.
That evening, police showed up and said I’m being charged with assault and uttering threats. Since then, I’ve left my apartment and relocated.
To make things more complicated, we are also co-workers, and the police went to my job and spoke with my work about it. I have had to quit my job since she also has a restraining order against me. We work in an industry that’s pretty tight knit, and have / know hundreds of mutual co-workers, and my reputation is easily going to be ruined within our work circle going forward.
We had another roomate who was there to witness the entire thing, and he gave a statement to the police, basically saying that I had no intentions of doing anything, and there was nothing physical involved. We are very close friends, and he said he would be willing to testify that there was nothing physical, I had no intent nor would I follow through with anything said, and that it was a heated argument at most.
I have hired a defence lawyer and am just stuck in limbo now. So far I’m out of a job, my home, thousands for lawyer fees, and along with my job I’m essentially out of a career now, as my place of employment currently is investigating that I broke their bullying and harassment code. I refused to give them a statement and a copy of my charges when they asked as I did not give a statement to the police. They are now also expecting me to repay them my relocation expenses, as I didn’t complete my contract with them - this could be as high as $5k.
Is there anything I can do moving forward beside hope for a peace bond? I’ve lost basically everything over an argument, and have to re-start my life, and have already faced massive financial and personal loss as a result of this, and I have not even been charged with anything yet. I was an asshole but I don’t think I’m a criminal. If the case goes my way is there any way to recoup some of my financial losses?
I can clarify more if needed on anything.
Thanks for the help

I am 22 years old and I aspire to become an accountant. I'm soon starting school again to pursue the degree, and I think what caught my attention most was the fact that accounting provides a lot of branches and opportunities one can get into(Also the pizza parties are to die for according to you guys haha jk). Apart from being financially literate which is also a pro, but in my ignorance I wish to one day open up my own firm. Why do many accountants avoid this path? I understand being an entrepreneur isn't for everyone but for example you've been in the industry for 20+ years what is stopping many from becoming independent?! I come from a line of entrepreneurs in my family and it's always been an inspiring dream of mine to have my own business someday. I like accounting and it's what I have in mind. Now again is it worth starting a business in this industry? I really like bookkeeping but I keep hearing AI will replace it or has, should I be concerned? What are things that make it very complicated for accountants to open up their own firms or even in general getting side work aside from your day to day job. Please be nice, I'm just looking for some solid advice and trying to grasp peoples perspective on becoming an entrepreneur in this industry. Thank youuu :))

My life has changed in the last six months for myself and my partner. At times, i do feel it's been longer, but i try to tell myself it's not. I love my partner with all my heart, and i think she's drifted away from me. Emotionally and physically. I do know lots of it has to do with me not being the best provider and supporter for my family the last five years due to an injury that set me and the whole family back. Even still, to this day, I struggle to keep food on the table. I'm almost done with school so that I can provide for my family. When i got injured, i felt lost as a person; the sense of providing was lost As my wages were gone. And providing would be harder. Being vital to my family was lost, and I felt empty as my strength was taken for a while. I lost sight of my family; they saw the ugly side of my anger. Never beat anyone; just argue. Still not right, i know. Over these five years, I've gotten better, i believe. Four years later, I'm retraining for new work cause of my injury. My wife’s mother and sister passed away several months from each other while i was in school. I know the passing took a toll on her. I didn't know how to help her. I didn't want to say the wrong words and see her cry. Well, as time progressed, she got better at dealing with the pain. I'm proud of her for that. I know it's been a struggle and a battle. Well, the reason that i feel this way I do now. It was because one day when I went through my partner's phone. (I don't care if she does the same to me, as I don't talk to anyone.) Anyway, I came across a deleted messages from her guy co-worker. It's nothing crazy, but I had lots of texting at work back and forth. I didn't want to keep scrolling up as my heart felt shattered. The co-worker gets more mgs and memes than i do in a day, and i think it's my fault for that happening. I never showed her physical attention. Now, she seeks that somewhere else. It’s been over a week since we argued about the messages, and I noticed that her Snapchat now goes off more. I've been with my partner for eight years and ten months, and I'm lost on what to do. She told me last time we argued she would never cheat on me and put it on our kids. How do i get that reinsurance? Should she give me that reinsurance that I need? She told me she would never cheat on me when together with me. And I do believe her. I just don't trust the guy. He’s married. Would you be mad if your husband texted back and forth with another lady during work? She told me he was an old friend from high school, so they switched over numbers when he got hired at her job. Am i overreacting? Should i worry? My heart is heavy.

After a series of events this year, I've been wondering.
Are we being actively monitored by corporate and do they even (if at all) want to associate with us? They seem to be aware of our presence on Discord, Facebook, and here. Ngl, it's pretty neat they want to reach out to us. I haven't really seen any other company get personal like that besides Roblox and some others I can't recall rn. I think closing the dead space between corp and the community would be very beneficial to the brand. I just wish more of this fan community was civil and reasonable to make our circle more welcoming. Only concern I have is: If cast members and managers hop on social media to talk about their jobs and voice thoughts in servers. Are they at risk of losing their jobs? I hope that's not the case, I've seen some interesting insights from CEC employees on Discord servers and other domains. Maybe CEC Entertainment could host an official online forum for us to take part on one day? Who knows!
I have some (what I think are) interesting thoughts and opinions on the brand and I've been contemplating where I should post them. I haven't really seen anyone share anything similar to what I have. Would anyone even be interested, should I invest the effort to get what I have on mind in writing?

So I took a new job in a big city and didn’t want to buy here until I get a better feel for the neighborhoods and my new work situation. I own a house in a much smaller market about 5 hours away and I’m trying to decide how to move forward. I bought in 2011 and I’ve paid off about 30% of the loan. I refinanced during Covid so my interest rate is around 2% and mortgage is $900/month. (Insanely great situation I’m leaving, I know)
Easiest option is to sell, and be done with it. I should get a decent return on it; hopefully bank $50,000-60,000. Honestly I’d really like to sell, but now I’m wondering if I should try and rent it out for a couple of years so I can keep my equity until I’m ready to buy something else.
I am looking for a financial advisor, but in the meantime, I’d love to hear what people think!

Should I runaway
I'm 15 and I want to run away. I just moved away from my dad he was abusive and now I live with my auntie and grandma because my mom is in jail. My mom isn't abusive and my auntie and grandma aren't but my auntie is kicking me out because I didn't clean my grandmas room even though I'm not the only that be in there and she's mad about the kitchen being dirty she gets mad cause she doesn't want to clean up after everyone but she expects me to do it. I feel like I get treated different and they always talk bad about my mom. So she's kicking me out. My mom don't have a house she lives with her cousin. I don't want to be there. It's not really bad but I just dont want to be there. Nothing is stable. I move around a lot. I don't know anyone I have no friends or money. I hate sharing a small room with two others. If I leave my mom won't have to worry about me anymore she can focuse on stuff. I'm sure my family doesn't like me anyway. I don't like them either. I don't like my dad's family or my mom's. Everyone is just fake and weird. There are so many rapist and pedos in my family and no one acknowledged it. My cousins and uncle are weird. Everyone is weird. It's a small town I live in so a lot of people are somehow related. I just want to leave this dumb place. I want to go to California. Or new York. I hate this place I hate Atlanta I hate Georgia I hate where I live. I want to leave my family. I want to leave Georgia. I could sell my video game and other stuff but I doubt that's going to help me get far. I will sell my ps4 and save up to buy a phone so I can still call my mom make sure she's fine. I would ask my sister to come but I don't know yet. I don't think she likes this place either. But I'm sure she wants to stay with my brother. But I'm just tired of having to always do stuff for other people and when I stand up for myself it's talking back or whatever. All the bad stuff my sister did and I get kicked out for talking back or not cleaning. I really do feel like they treat me different. Both families do. There not my family anymore. My mom sister and brothers are the only people I love. And my cat. I'm taking my cat with me. But I should wait until 16. I want to goto college and air force and I need school but it's going to be hard to go to school if I run away. I don't know. I just can't stand being around these people anymore. They are all weird. I can't stand them. I feel like I'm the only one aware of this crap. Others are aware they just don't care. I'm the only one who cares. I don't want kids here. I dont want family here. I want to leave. I need to save up a lot of money and leave. But I can't. I don't have money or a job. But Im going to run away I think and I'll ask my sister to come with me. All I need d a bank account and a job. I could go to be York everything is walking distance so I dont need a car. But I need to get to new York. But I really want to go to California for the beach. Florida is an option also. But California and new York is to far. I might have a better chance in Florida. But I haven't really planed anything. But I'm going to start tonight. After everything is planned I'll talk to my sister.

Hi all.
I’m a fairly new manager. I know it and my staff knows it and my superiors know it. I came into this role basically by outlasting the revolving door of managers since I started in this office. It’s deserved though! Things haven’t been bad so far but I am running into a pretty serious issue here.
I was on FMLA leave for a bit, and higher ups hired a few more employees in my absence. One in particular, to my understanding, was anticipating having my job but did not get hired for that position, but was told they would grow into it and implied that I wouldn’t be returning.
My return was never in question and this is secondhand info so, grain of salt. But I’m back, and having a serious issue managing this particular person. I sensed this from day one and it has only snowballed since. For context this industry is new to this person. They do not have prior experience in this field. They have experience in a tangentially related field and much of it isn’t quite transferable. This person is older and I believe this contributes to some issues as I will explain. I am late 20s F and my management style is quite relaxed but that is due to precedent being that I am listened to and respected as management.
The problematic behaviors are as follows: -Will ask me questions but reject the answers to the questions. They insist I don’t understand the topic, though this industry has been my life for years now. -Will ask other staff when I am gone on lunch or errands, if the information I gave is true and correct. I believe this because they’ve done the same thing to my other staff, asking me. Either way not listening to anyone! -They are making comments to or around one of my staff that’s making her uncomfortable but it’s smartly toeing the line, to the point that it’s extremely difficult to address. This part has been stressing me out immensely. I want to ensure comfort and safety but they haven’t said anything around me that is over the line but we still know what they’re getting at… and the crazier things are being said while I am out of office. -They are not accepting any sort of directives from me, their direct supervisor. They are additionally interfering with my directives to other staff and telling them to do other things. This has, in my opinion, contributed to a sharp demonstrable decline in key productivity points. My staff aren’t sure who to listen to and our key work isn’t being done as a result. -I do believe through convos with or around this individual that age and sexism plays a factor. I am a young and not so experienced manager. This person is older, set in their ways and probably not keen to listen to a young woman? That’s my best guess. They’ve made many jokes and comments in my presence that allude to a sexist attitude and they call all of us “girls”, not women, and tend to make most of those comments/jokes in the presence of our male partners.
Unfortunately I don’t plan on going anywhere or vacating my position. I am well versed in what I am doing and in what corporate expects from us. I am beyond lost on how to handle these issues though. I’m used to having my one staff member (who has been here for a long time as well and is excellent with her work.) I haven’t really needed to MANAGE people until now. She is leaving us and told me it’s specifically driven by problems arising from this employee I am having trouble with. I’m sick of asking MY supervisor for help because I don’t want to come off like I’m just hating and complaining or something. I wanna do all in my power to fix things. Please, any advice you all can give helps! Thank you!!

What did you have to do to get approved for disability? I have major depressive disorder and substance abuse disorder. I got rejected because I was still making money. I lost my job due to mental illness. I got a new job at speedway but it's only a matter of time until I lost that one too. One of the qualifications is that you must not be working for a year. So, I'm supposed to be homeless until then?!

I thought I had a good budget but now I’m in a rut. I honestly see no way out as bills pile up and my household necessitates are all almost gone. I have a tablespoon of soap left for dishes, I need pads, and lots of other little things. I’m 19 with $15,689 left on my car loan I got last year($500/m) a personal loan that has $476 left ($50/m) a quick cash loan that has $762 left ($153/2wks). My bills without my loans are $1021. I get paid every two weeks ($875-$1200) and I can’t seem to budget so I have a couple dollars left for the second week each time I’m paid. My workdays fluctuate so I can never fully plan on what I’ll be getting paid.i try to budget the minimum amount but I can’t scrape by. I have a chance to get another $700 loan but it will be $125/2wks for way too long. I’m struggling and my bf wants to move in but doesn’t want to pay rent. I need the extra help and all I asked him to pay was utilities at $150/m. He just got a new job that pays roughly $650 on the low end, and that’s every week. I currently have food stamps but once he moves in I’m going to get way less, possibly none. I already have a copay on Dr visits for me and my child and I refuse Tony pay upfront with those. I’m scared of going into too much debt and no way out.

Why are you enlisting in the army?
Because my parents (Mother, Gen X) are not allowing a "20 year old Male that has been out of high school for "2" years & That is only working a part time job at Publix and is or not in any type of full time job (which i was but decided to quit *A connection job my parents put me on to by a friend *The Boss* which i immediately & automatically got but i burned the bridge by NCNS and ruined a reptation.) or in college (went twice, commuted Aug 2022, Stayed on campus Aug 2023) to live in there household as in "Adult". "The only people that can live for free and worry free are children" "We have NO more "Children". I have 2 older brothers (Oldest in his 30"s Married, 2 Children) , Middle (Late 20's pushing 30) No Kids, Living life & then there's me the Youngest (20 Years old, No type of motivation or idea of what i want in life sincerely, Hate how this is "Life" & how you really gotta feen for yourself as a person. I don't talk to my brothers fr we all got our own lives going on to the point its hard to have a update & that's just how its always been. Growing up they weren't around & i was the youngest so it was just me, they were already passed this stage of life when i was just coming up in my middle school - high school era. Today my parents found out that i no longer worked for the job (Warehouse $19 hour pay Full time) that they put me on too & that was definitely the dealbreaker. I was told as im typing this sentence at 5:32 PM "Tomorrow morning (May 22,2024) "We are going to the military requiting place and signing you up and that's your only option" or you have to go.. I was basically told that I can longer stay at my Parents home anymore & that now I have to depend on myself.
Why did you quit the FT $19 a HOUR warehouse Job?
Off rip on Day 1 i hated it, I knew i wasn't gon last long. Common sense would think $19 hourly pay as in MONEY (GOOD PAY) would be motivation to keep the job or to just deal with it but for me it was more then just money. Thats why from my perspective its different cuz i didn't care about the pay, I worked my 2 weeks and quit before i even saw how my pay check looked. it was just the job i did not like or feel a good fit for me itself. At 20 years old i was the youngest person in there. Everyone else were in there Late 30s , 40s & even 60s stating they have been there 27 years and more. That also was motivation for me because i was looking at it as like "I'm just trying to make money & build myself up, pay my bills, get me a new car, stack bread etc" but for everybody else yall got to "Pay bills, take care of yall family's, take care of yall kids & all these extra necessity that i don't have", so im looking at differently.
But as days went on and time started to progress i slowly felt irk. I slowly hated this lifestyle. The having to get up in morning at 5:20am Mon-Fri, Being in a loud hot ass warehouse all day, barley having breaks & just the environment in general. i just couldn't see myself doing that particular warehouse job for the rest of my life. (my first warehouse job).
During my 2nd week (last) Prolly Monday 5/13/24 The Connection "Friend" which was my boss that my parents put me on to said that one of the workers who was training me said i wasn't getting the job down pack correctly & my boss proceeded to tell me i have until Friday to get it down or they will have to let me go. i felt sum type of way cause i was seriously doing the job to the best of my capability and in the process i was still fairly new & learning. He also proceed behind closed doors to call my mother after our conversation we had and told her what was said as well.. I Only knew this because right after maybe 8 minutes after are convo i decided to take my 10 minute break & i get a message from my mom asking "Hey how's work going?" then i call her and she tells me...That he called. So in my head im frustrated because what does my Work business have to do with Personal life/ My mother being involve?? & Im not in middle school or high school, so why are we calling parents? Like Am im not a Young "Adult" in the "Real World" workforce?? I felt like that was weird to me off rip specially when i was told that "Work business is Work business.
I felt very Unentitled. Every time i would get off work i wouldn't know what to do after which I also always felt drained and foggy like i didn't have a life outside of going to work. I hated the way i felt.
Those were brief reasons on why i Ultimately made the decision to call it quits but in reality my reasons dont really matter its just the fact that i quit the job.
But now im back to square one figuring out what my next step is.. My plan
Either the service or being kicked out the choice is mine. I never was interested in any type of military role, it was never something i saw nor wanted to do. Since i was told that would be were i could be headed i did decided to do sum research on the process of how enlisting works and etc.. I didn't plan on taking that route personally. I know atp in my life the decision is indeed mine and i have to do whats right for and i think the military route is also not a fit for me. So now i have my 2nd option, Leave home.. Leave living with my parents just like college. Not having to worry about anything but myself, Having the independence lifestyle. It all sounds good but i know thats a huge step into the "Adult' life and just my life in general.
Im a 20 year old male, with no car, a part time job at publix, just got kicked out my parents house, & need guidance on what should i do?
open to all feedback please

I will give a real experience with hiring Arber, the owner, of Landstar Construction. We initially contacted him to do a roof repair. After some discussion we agreed to a new roof. We agreed to do it cash as he assured us that it would be much cheaper since I stated to him MULTIPLE times that we did not have much money and obtaining a loan would be very difficult. Well the day comes and they start tearing the roof apart. Halfway through Arber contacts me stating that all the plywood would have to be replaced because it was too thin otherwise we would not get the warranty (I looked it up and the boards that were on the roof initially were 100% ok to have). Not once in the initial estimate was there ever any mention of him stating that our boards were too thin (we needed to get a few replaced so he knew beforehand). So he shows the “new” estimate which is more than double the original estimate. Keep in mind we were doing this in cash for it to be on the “cheaper side” (I guess cheaper for him not us). He also started mentioning a ton of other things that were NEVER mentioned in the initial estimate (new gutters, roof ridge vent, etc). Now we obviously could not say no as the entire roof was taken apart and the fan that was initially in the attic to cool it off was already thrown into the yard. When he gave me the second paper with what else he was doing, 9/10 of them were on the initial estimate and whenever I brought it up he would say it was different but when asked to explain how he would try changing the subject. The entire time he would say “this will make your house 60k more valuable” which of course is bs. The entire time I told him I would see what I could do with getting a loan but there would be no guarantees. At first he would call 2 times a week asking how things were going and I would always respond with still working on it and I would call him which he never seemed to have understood. Well the end of the second week comes along and this is when the harassment starts. He would ask what time we would be done with work and when we would be home. He would try guilt tripping me and my mother (which never worked) saying he had to pay the dumpster which he decided to leave in our driveway 3 weeks after the job was done for some reason. It wasn’t until the third week when he called my mother and started cussing at here and stating he would start recorded every phone call. A day later he texted me and my mother he would “tear the roof down.” Like I stated initially to him we did not have much money. He knew this and still decided to proceed. I called him the end of that week and recorded our phone call since he claimed he was going to record us. I have recorded him claiming I never paid him the downpayment in cash (which I have the receipts and proof of) and him claiming he would “drag me out of my house, beat me up, and tear my roof down.” He knew he was being recorded and still said it anyways. If you would like to hear the recording feel free to reach out but do not hire this fraud. We got prices from other roofers and they were half the price of this scam of a company. If you thing his price is good, he will end up doubling it when the roof is taken apart.
If this is against TOS take it down but I felt like I had to post it incase anyone here has ever felt the need to hire this company, they will see this and go with any other company.

Hi all!
I just started a new job and I found out I’m pregnant. Any suggestions for how to get through the next 9 months?
My job is pretty cool but if you are sick and can’t come in you get occurrences and I’m trying to avoid that.
I’m pretty active but looking for any other pregnant RBT girlies who have walked this journey. I could use your advice.
