In a very short period of time we went from phones that would let us remove battery to phones that can't be turned off and listen to everything. I'm watching these... https://www.punkt.ch/en/

I'd like/settle for a phone that I can use and say accidentally drop out of my pocket and don't have a mini stress attack.In a very short period of time we went from phones that would let us remove battery to phones that can't be turned off and listen to everything.

I always boil down what I want in a phone the power available. Why did most phones go the path of the toaster? Removable and standardized would be the way to go. You should be able to use your phone as a charger for your backups batteries as well. And definitly not all the odd formats of batteries we have now. Or how about a phone that essentially snaps on to a power brick of your desired power or/vs desired width size? Go modular. @Cuckfumbustion likes modular. Oh yea, I even saw one model that the bottom end comes out and you can swap battery and mem card.Made sure my phone always has that removeable battery feature.
Indeed buffer some time and mindspace to listen and put the coffee on. I've tried to get in my mindset when I know that I am about to go through the loops of conversations and try to ready up for that. So I don't say blow a fuse or get into 'showdown' mode. Most of these conversations are recorded or at least it is mentioned endlessly in the recording loop. So I try to be sympathetic to the person who's job it is to untangle my problem and recognize just how much power and understanding thet is at heir capacity and don't badger them if they seem thick. Clearly define or clarify the problem back to them and make sure they arn't half listening to you or oversimplifying what you are conveying. And I try to get a ticket number or name early before being sent to play phone pong and perhaps re-explain your problem to the next in the chain of command. If it is a chain. Sometimes certain people will sense my intention when I speak to them on the phone and they will even admit to having to deal with the 'oversight' themselves and the stress they have to go through to correct the problem. I'll mention the word 'oversight' enough to them, so they are comfortable into digging further into my problem.Moral of this story?
Bitch loud enough and they'll listen. However, in the process, you may have to do a little listening yourself.
I like standing backwards to a campfire and let the heat roast off my leg hair. Then watch the hairs blow in the breeze like pollen. Have trimmed my lip hairs accidentally when lighting things too close to my face.I burnt a bunch off on an outdoor survival course last weekend. Any way to cut down on overpriced razors is worth it, no?
;)
I don't like to carry a comb. So I'd use this brush which is essentially a rake. Well OK, it was a 'dog brush' I bought from a dollar store, but the pointy-ness and the teeth get's right down to the scalp and trains the hairs. If that makes sense. Still looking for a respectable equivalent or have it 3d printed? I would be less inclined to scratch my beard. If I only knew about beard oil/treatment at those times I wore a beard?On the left is when I don't trim and comb it, and on the right, it's taken care of.
At one point recently I shaved off everything but a pencil thin mustache! It was not a hit at home.
A pencil thin mustache (done right) is like a licence. The one guy in the band Sparx and Vincent Price and John Waters does come to mind for me. I've thought a little more about the Bill the Butcher mustache. It does look like two arms held up, with their sleeves rolled down ready for a fight. I get it. Or I watched to many Popeye cartoons. . Never wore a stash of any kind. If I have a razor in my hand, it's coming off. Had to try a goatee once, so I would know what my doppleganger would look like, If he entered this dimension and tried any mayhem here on Earth Prime.Always wanted to be able to pull off a pencil mo as they look rather dapper. The gods saw different. When I rock a solo mustache I find having a zero fucks attitude helps.
I sounds like you have hit a crossroads in your life. But I also know you are a responsible adult with a family.... so you don't want to do anything drastic that could have a negative effect on them (or yourself).I don’t know what to do.
I can’t do this job anymore.
Sadly it all becomes the same after time..........find the best job you can find and seek fulfillment at home.I don’t know what to do.
I can’t do this job anymore.
I feel stuck...I have good benefits and the pay is ok, not great. Schedule is decent.
But I hate my position. It’s hard to move around in this company, but I’m trying to get out of the service department.
I just can’t stand talking to these whiny adults anymore. It’s literally mentally draining and I don’t want to talk to anyone after I’m done with this job each day.
I’ve resorted to bringing my Dynavap to work just to deal with this shit.
But I don’t like vaping during the work day. Been looking online for other jobs...guess we’ll see
There is a few middle paths as well. And better ways to help with these people who come to you with their problems.But I don’t like vaping during the work day. Been looking online for other jobs...guess we’ll see
Indeed. All good advice. Glad you brought this here @I'm Ron Burgundy? . Classes or working at certifications in different fields can break the tedium of the one job. Some people I know will do volunteer work so they get good at something else with little or no risk. And they can use different parts of their brain and skill sets or however you care to divide it. And avoid burnout at either.My advice would be to keep your feelers out for what's out there.
Conversely, There are jobs that can seem like a break from real life. Oh I don't have to think about the problems at home. I'm occupied at work. Where someone else worries about paying the utilities and the clean bathrooms. YMMV.Sadly it all becomes the same after time..........find the best job you can find and seek fulfillment at home.
Gawd.... there is nothing worse than contractors in the house... and the house being torn up. And you're having major stuff done.This week sux.
We have a ranch style house. 3 bedrooms, 2 large baths, kitchen, dining room, living room, utility room, and large closets, a pantry and two hall ways. Right now 5 of those rooms are tore up. Everything is in the middle of the rooms. Painters are repainting the entire interior, ceilings and walls. When there done and in a few weeks were getting a new wood floor to replace carpet and vinyl. And their ripping our our master bath tub and separate shower to install a tiled shower with a bench and linen closet where the shower was.
All this activity with me minimally involved is driving me nuts, lol. Plus they show up at 8 am, so I can't sleep till my usual 9. The weather isn't great to just hang outside. I almost wish I had a job to go to just to get away.
We just redid our house due to Hurricane Irma, it takes forever. But @Shredder you'll be so pleased.
I just love being in my new place, like new! ( it is )
Have fun, look forward to the new.
White vinegar is your mold killing friend............
