Needs more oil

I’ve been in your exact situation, and I’ll tell you what was once told to me by someone older and wiser than myself. When you determine that your plate is full, you ask your manager to help you prioritize the tasks you’re being assigned. You lay out all the shit that’s been dumped on you, and ask for the order in which they want it done.

If they understand, they’ll stop piling on and you’ll get some relief.

If they don’t understand or say something like “you’ll figure it out” look for the door and find another job as quickly as possible.

Hey, since you mentioned gout (and I read the rest so I know you don’t have it) that’s definitely something totally preventable and treatable, and also definitely something you don’t want to leave untreated.

But hey, fellow Clevelander beehawer, welcome aboard!

I’m in the ER. Probably the doctor standing directly in front of me.

DuckDuckGo works fine for me, it checks most of your boxes. Not sure about the ad blocker, but I run a pi-hole on my home network so I don’t see most of them anyway.

They’re rightly concerned about losing jobs to automation.

I’m old enough now that I’m more financially secure than I ever have been before, and I still think we should tear it all down and create a more equitable system for everyone. Perhaps I’m in the minority though for people my age.

Politicians sew division, fear, and hatred knowing that this will allow them to continue fleecing everyone who works for a living. We should never forget that it’s a big club, and you ain’t in it.

Eating the rich isn’t a coup de grace, it’s the beginning.

I read that in ED-209

Hear, hear!

Heyyy welcome back!

Impostor syndrome is a bitch

Yes it is, but look - onboarding at a new place is always tough. I’m assuming you didn’t lie and your resumè isn’t completely full of shit; you’ll do great. Bring in the knowledge you hold from your previous experience, and be willing to learn from your new employer, and you’ll rock out. You can handle this for sure.

I’m usually that person as well. BG3 was the first game in probably 8 years that hooked me on the story. If I sprinted through it, I would have probably saved like 80% of the time I spent playing it, but I enjoyed it. Maybe I’m simple, to me it felt like the decisions mattered.

There’s an easy answer to bring peace to Ukraine. The Russians can pack up all their shit and just go home.

You’re talking about people who love their guns more than children, so I don’t know how there’s any reasoning with that mentality.

I was He-Man on Halloween as an 8 year old. My little brother was Orko. It was pretty awesome.

Disenfranchisement is an invalid solution to a problem that effectively does not exist.

Reading this took me back 25 years when I left the Midwest for California. The journey on the way to your next destination is such an adventure. I’m excited for you, it’s gonna be awesome. Embrace the change, and don’t forget where you came from.

Also, don’t forget to introduce people to that awesome KC barbecue, it’s legit.

Take me home…

Thank you for bringing back the best game of my childhood.
