I just wanna run away, delete everything, leave no evidence about myself, change my number or toss my phone in the ocean and just start a new.
Gabriel @gabriel_true I'm grieved that you're having a rough go of it. It pains me to see you're struggling. If talking helps I will listen. Be well, Joe!
Mr.Grinch @joemama711 I'm just hoping next months aptitude test goes well, I've been considering quiting Kroger and doing UPS seasonal support drive but it's like 40 min drive from me which is a pain ngl
Gabriel @gabriel_true UPS seems to be what many people are recommending in my area. You have to work for then a couple years to become a driver, but they're a union company so you get a pension when you retire plus the pay caps out at $40 per hour.
Mr.Grinch @joemama711 True assuming you get in or stay after peak season is over though I talked to a UPS driver and he said it's spread out over a 5 year term so it's up in the air
Gabriel @gabriel_true Unfortunately so.
Mr.Grinch @joemama711 Im trying to fix my diet and lifestyle up a bit so I don't get as depressed and feel like nothing's there for me.
Gabriel @gabriel_true I support healthy lifestyle choices and it's worked well for my nephew. Just make sure you remember what you're already successful at. It may help to keep a journal of accomplishments you're proud of as a way to counter any thoughts that are intrusive. If nothing else I've enjoyed our conversations and know you are more than capable of being great! Keep in mind you can and should be proud in who you are, Joe!
Mr.Grinch @joemama711 I'll try journaling in my notes app, thank you for the suggestions and the positive reinforcement Gabe, Its a pleasure when we get to talk and I enjoy your mindset.
Lately I've been trying to be more distant and not use social media or interact that much with people online. I have bad habits of being too dependent on them and I'm stopping that now.
Gabriel @gabriel_true I see a number of folks have been doing that as well. Of course you know I've also been on and off for prolonged periods of time to handle personal affairs. If you need to step away then that is a valid decision. Only be mindful that there are people who do want you to be well no matter where you are in the world or what you're life's path leads to.
Mr.Grinch @joemama711 I do appreciate the people that check up on me and I hope the best for yourself as well Gabe.

I heard you needed help with your alley docking and figured I show you how to maneuver into position there, good buddy!

I know most companies do unfortunately run with bottom of the barrel instructors. If it makes you feel any better I got literally 1 week of training before I had to take my first DMV road test.
I failed the first time trying to do the Reverse Offset which is kind of a combination of Parallel Parking meets Alley Docking. Essentially you start parallel from where you need to park, but you have to enter at an angle similar to Alley Docking until at the last second you end up parallel again. It's a pain in the butt and my instructor literally said, "I'm showing you how to do this once and that's it!" True to his words he sat in his car and texted for the rest of my training week.
To make matters worse I had only 5 hours of actually being on the road. Every day I spent 8 hours simply memorizing the Pre-trip part of the exam and I had that memorized by day 2. So I really only needed help with Reverse Offset and making sharp turns on narrow city streets.
That said I literally prayed to Jesus Christ for assistance and made use of every online resource to prepare for my second attempt. I barely passed, but I got my license. Glory be to Him because as you know first hand the instructors aren't of any use, but to take a paycheck and bounce.

Nah, you know what fuck this lonely excuse of a shit hole site. Dropping my discord in username, changing my password and flushing this POS from my memories cause it does nothing for me.
Mr.Grinch @joemama711 Wasn't worth coming back ngl

What department and it's giving me shit vibes so far and I ain't even worked in deli yet.
SnakeePoo @solid_snake95
SnakeePoo @solid_snake95
Worked at Kroger before and will say I did not like that job EVER
SnakeePoo @solid_snake95 I worked in bakery and my brother did deli for them. He ended leaving saying it wasn't worth the trouble.
Mr.Grinch @joemama711 I'll be doing both here n there lmao, maybe it'll go well or maybe they fire or cut my hours then I can have a excuse to go somewhere else.
Mr.Grinch @joemama711
Mr.Grinch @joemama711
I knew retail/grocery was DOG SHIT BUT NOT THIS ANNOYING! Lmao

Gabriel @gabriel_true
Hehehe! You don't know how much hearing you say that makes me giggle.
Gabriel @gabriel_true It gets worse. At the end of my stint with Kroger I had to run register, produce, and dairy department all in the same shift for $8.10 an hour.
Mr.Grinch @joemama711 Tf kinda robbery is that?! I'm gonna be in Deli for 15 a hour part time. Next week will be 18 hours.
Gabriel @gabriel_true Probably because it's been 15 years since I worked for them and minium wage has gone up with inflation since then. When I started during the Obama administration minimum wage was $6.50.
Mr.Grinch @joemama711 Oh fuck that! I'd rather work at a car wash or something else for that low pay,
Gabriel @gabriel_true It was a different time.
Gabriel @gabriel_true The McDonald's actually had a real $1 dollar menu then.
Mr.Grinch @joemama711 Only good things from Mcdonalds are the Chicken Selects, Sprite and cookies imo cause I hate McDonald's
Gabriel @gabriel_true I could tell just by your profile picture, Mr. King of Burgers!
Mr.Grinch @joemama711 I will say they are def better lol, better chicken sandwich, onion rings, snack wrap
Gabriel @gabriel_true Onion rings of any kind destroy my digestive system. I have to be very careful about eating them especially if I have an early morning truck route or else there's going to be a gas spill of a different sort on the highway, haha!
Mr.Grinch @joemama711 Awe that sucks, is it just onion rings or bad grease? If I have something that was cooked in bad/old grease I'm gonna be hurting.
Ever consider getting a 5gall bucket with toilet attachment and cat litter?
Gabriel @gabriel_true Haha! Maybe that's a life hack I should consider. Thanks for the pro tip! If not and I get too desperate I'll just bust out the Flex Seal on myself, haha!
Mr.Grinch @joemama711 To be fair I have looked up the idea on Reddit and some people buy the fancy camper toilets and blinders. Idk why people are comfortable pulling to the side of the road and just crapping or having to go to some gross truck stop bathroom
Gabriel @gabriel_true When you gotta go, ya gotta go. Or do like me an keep a glovebox full of Burger King napkins on hand for just such an emergency. Don't worry if some of them have a grease stain they'll do in a pinch.
