As an adult who has just sacrificed a box room for a Boaxel system with a bunch of open boxes to toss my clothes into (similar to your shelf system but visually less messy), I don’t understand why you can’t go back to a system that worked for you before.

Laundry is also my mortal enemy. The folding mostly, so now I’ve done away with that. Little basket things on each shelf for various clothing items, it’s much more aligned to my natural style. Use it, don’t fight it.

Glad to know I’m not alone, I don’t really understand why humanity has made things so hard for humanity at times… surely this can’t also be linked to greed like so many other issues?!? 😅😅

Grew up in the US (the Deep South)… moved to England, have been here for like a bajillion years and unfortunately still sound American 😕

But for me it is crisps. Why do we have to say this word when it is so awkward?!?

Annoying but it’s a start in the right direction.

It’s ridiculous anyway that federal minimum wage is still $7.25 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Can cities not set their own? Federal minimum wage is the floor if the local legislation doesn’t set a minimum.

Welcome to ADHD life… collecting hobbies is a good way of wording this aspect of it 🤣🤣

Has it? I am using it right now… how strange.

In addition to what @ThunderQueen@lemmy.world has already said… a lot of restaurants also have a tip-out system, wherein the servers have to pay a % of each table’s sales into a shared tip fund to cover bussing, bar staff, the hosts and sometimes kitchen staff. So while I completely agree with the premise, it’s not great to cost your server money when they are often on $2-3/hr.

The last time I was a server in the US we had to tip out 3% of sales to others, but I’m not sure what the industry average is now.

Appreciate the support ❤️

Loads of folks in the same mental boat, but we’ve had about 10 leavers (~25%) of the core team that was there when I started in the last 18 months.

I have started applying for stuff but finding a new job right now is such a mess as well 😅😅

Rest… and how demotivated I am at work.

I am 100% one of those people that other folks think is “ambitious” but honestly I just say what I think people want to hear about my career aspirations or whatever, and I don’t seem to understand what level of effort folks put into their work so I just burn myself out by trying to keep all the damn plates spinning.

This general issue mixed with some recent comments by our CEO as well as overall policy things just makes me hate my job. I joined this company because there was a huge focus on people first. It was a great culture with high camaraderie and management seemed to care (or at least to do things that made it seem like that), but over the last two years it’s like the claws of our US overlords have really dug in and we are now America-lite* as an entity.

So I am tired, and I am tired of pushing myself to this point and yet I can’t seem to stop myself. When I am working I don’t feel like it’s acceptable to let anything drop, so instead I am just irritable and miserable when I finish work until I have a good bit of _*dissociation time_*

*nb I am American but have lived in the UK for 13 years now and this particular regression toward American-style workplaces really gets to me.

I had this with Elvanse and went back down a few doses and it was okay. YMMV, but I will say that feeling as though I was a walking black hole was a crazy and terrifying experience.

Don’t disagree, ironic the US started largely as a protest about taxation without representation and now the US has become one of only two countries to tax their overseas citizens.

Not to mention the situations with Puerto Rico, Washington D.C and other territories (like Guam and the US Virgin Islands) who are also taxed but do not have representation.

And your name is published on a public list of people that have given up their citizenship.

It’s what plants crave

As much as that would be hilarious… no when water is set out ahead of time they’ll put a little paper cover on the tops of the glasses to get dust or whatever from getting in there. Now as to why he clearly hadn’t drunk from that glass… 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Flash the hazards twice, also works as a thank you for letting me merge in or whatever, it’s pretty common in the UK.

I have gone to using a single hazard flash when people are in front of me as well instead of flashing high beams(reserved as the head tap equivalent for cars) because I hate when people blind me at night trying to thank me… high beams are way brighter than they used to be.

Big mac

Wouldn’t it be a trifle rather than a tart?

Exactly the same for me. Full fat coke is basically the only option now if I do want one.

Right?! So basically now I drink water when I am out and about because so much stuff has fake sugar now
