Rant About Whatever

PIPs are brutal man. That’s usually a sign it’s time to look around. I’m sorry dude.

Got placed on a PIP at work (performance improvement probation/plan) and as my bosses put it, if I my name comes across their desk even once then I'm fired.

I'm not the best healthcare worker but I don't mean to put anyone elses asses on the line or even worse, harm our patients, but I've been deemed incompetent and non-proactive which sucks to hear, I felt I've been doing pretty OK recenly while being on nightshift and dealing with tough staffing ratios, but it is what it is. I'm not mad, just sad and dissapointed in myself.

With being laid off being said, I will be having to move back to MI for a few just to clear my head and get some breathing room. I think part of the difficulties of working in healthcare can be also due to stressors outside of work, like insane cost of living, being behind on bills, and simply just not having any money at all to seek out additional help or therapy. My life in the last year has literally been turning and burning any sort of paychecks towards bills, gas and food, and some weeks its either one or the other, so it's really really hard to show up to work everyday ready to "Save lives" when you cant even save your own. I'm not blaming other people for my mistakes but it's just how it is for some people. Id rather be unemployed for a minute surrounded by my family then work 40+ hours/week with the threat of homelessness looming.

Yeah. It's a motherfucker to swallow. But it is what it is I guess. Going to be a long drive back home, but at least I get to see my dogs and cats. I can't wait to see my homie Paka.

15 years almost in an amazing place. The west instilled a love for skiing that I can't forget but it's time to back home for a bit to revaluate things and go from there. If not Salt Lake again then it's somewhere else out west. 'Till then, I need a break and I need to hang with family and teach my niece and nephew a few things about bending skis lol

Fucking unreal and very close vote. It's not like they can just pick up and drive to another state without being arrested. It's bizzare that church and state are supposed to be separated yet we continue to influence policies purely off Christian values.

Well I think I agree in not legislating morals, people voting based on their worldview/values is not an issue of church and state separation, it's just democracy. I would expect people of all faiths and creeds to vote out of their views.

100%. There's no escaping subjectivity of values and it's effect in policy in any sort of democracy. Can't really get around that.

I thought the military was all about wokeness and drag shows?

US Military sucks its just the worlds largest welfare program and a paycheck for losers who can't contribute any other way. Of course when it comes to 'culture wars' they can be counted on to come down on the wrong side of every issue.

Yes but polls consistently show the majority is in favor of abortion so this vote is shit. Traditional interpretation of our constitution is pretty clear about the separation of church and state so you're wrong saying that's just democracy. Elected officials have a duty to their constituents, regardless of their own personal beliefs. They have been failing in that respect to epic proportions. So fucking annoying.

Update: Got hit with the "Resign or get terminated" call earlier today. So yeah. Chose the resignation route to save some sort of face because termination is bad for business. Resignation is always the best route, or at least a two-weeks notice for anyone else wanting to quit their job but also knows you're going to get fired at some point.

It's a 23-hour drive back to MI and I think I can bang it out in two 12-hour shifts and just sleep at rest stops.

The consequence of elected officials voting against their constituents should be lack of re-election, but a representative democracy is designed to absolutely allow the elected officials to not conform to the popular vote. There's good and bad reasons behind this, but also kind of the 'worst of both worlds' scenario between tyranny of pure democracy and tyranny of a malevolent dictator.

Anyways, you can't determine an 'ought' from an 'is'. Politics will always be subjective in nature. Personal beliefs and subjective opinion aren't necessarily dissimilar to religion, no matter what you believe.

It's good you gave it a try, or else you never would have known how it would have been.

You grew from the experience. It's definitely time to close that life chapter. Go home, reset yourself, rest, and make a new plan.

Yeah good thing it’s not that. Also it’s not winter, but kinda sucks on dirt but doable.

I’ve done the whole reverse, neutral etc… Even tried hitting it a hard reverse turned and nothin. Oh well, hopefully a mechanic can tell me what’s wrong and if it’s an easy fix I’ll diy.
 
Watching on patrol live is so infuriating how often they violate people's rights. It's usually very subtle or giving bs reasons for searching a vehicle but holy fuck.

Haha said the welfare program line to a chair force cousin-in-law bitching about people on food stamps and they were heated. Ended that line of discussion though so ?
 
I’m just a little bit drunk and tonight my friends(and boyfriend) joked about making a dating profile for one of our friends. He is my boyfriends best friend and I’d consider him a good friend as well. He is a great guy, has a good career and treats everyone 10/10. He’d make a great boyfriend. Well, I decided to make him a tinder. But my boyfriend said hinge was better. So I made him a hinge. But before I made the hinge I ended up downloading tinder and logging in. In my defense, I was trying to make a new profile but I guess when I deleted tinder after getting with my boyfriend I did not delete my profile, just the app. So it was still me. And I had like over 100 new matches and my drunk ass blurted that out. So my boyfriend was like wtf! And I said hey that’s a compliment to you! And he was drunk too so it kind of ended there. I deleted my profile and made a new one for our friend and he spent the next hour looking through girls. And I felt like I did a good thing. I want him to find a girl and be happy. He’s so great.

Never resign always take the termination and file for unemployment. Especially if you are moving and need some free time and free money.

If you didn't work there for 2+ years they aren't even on the hook for your UI it won't affect their rates you're previous employer typically is.

Yo. i didnt give a flying fuck about the budlight ’scandal’ so i just heard that they only made 1 fuckin can for that ‘influencer’. like they werent ever the only option of can, they werent even an option of a can when there were others. you couldnt buy it. it literally was so far removed from the public eye that you had to go out of your way and look for the one fucking can so you could be offended lol i thought conservatives were supposed to be tough and liberals were fragile snowflakes? seems pretty soft to me lol

pretty dumb move on bud lights part as hipster liberals like craft beer and craft seltzers and light beers are a crowd favorite in farm land and conservative USA. with AB having such a vast lineup of beers, why the fuck did they have bud light be the one to send a tranny a custom can??

This is what killed the republican party for me and many of the people I know. I somewhat agree with the large idea that many things in government are better left to localities. (absolutely not things like healthcare, military, interstates etc) but I do think a good amount of things would be fixed if more money stayed in your town......but they are absolute snowflakes. They tout all high and mighty about being tough but have no emotions but anger towards anything different than them. They also tout freedom and how America is the land of the free, but the second someone is different they lose their fucking shit. They literally are the snowflakes they scream about.

Anyways the republican party has driven off every middle voter I know, including myself. And will continue to do so until they get a damn grip on reality and realize like 80 some percent of people and climbing don't give a fuck about gays marrying, rainbow cans and wanna smoke weed. As the boomers die I really don't see what the hell they're going to do.

The more the trans stuff gets pushed, the more it will radicalize people to be more conservative. The pendulum will always swing back and forth. If you argue there's not an agenda being pushed I'd argue your heads in the sand. But yeah I generally agree the hardo boomers are the first to cry when their widdle feefees get challenged

Nothing makes me lose respect for someone like seeing or hearing some comment that is purely a result of some political fad. The only Bud Light thing is the most glaring example of that. Like, shut up, you were told to hate on it. This is like the inverse of the outrage over Chick-fil-A giving money to the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and the Salvation Army. Tribalism baby!

The lead marketing executive for Budlight said she wanted to crack down on the brand's "fratty image". Then people reposted her old facebook and pictures of her blowing up condoms hammered at a Harvard frat house. It's a shame because she probably witnessed or was the victim of assault/harassment at a frat function and that trauma caused her to go on a crusade against frat culture. (she got fired eventually after her campaign caused backlash that wiped out $4billion + of company value)

Here is a picture of Budlight's #1 customer with his beautiful, deeply conservative, transgender wife. Its a shame that the rest of their customers are still so ignorant and bigoted. I hope that these transphobes get sued for $900 million tomorrow!!!

Friend picked me up some beers(asked me if I wanted any). Anyway being a dick about me paying him. I have 100 bucks for him. Doesn't want to take it because he hates cash. Doesn't have venmo etc. Idk usually money is money. I get it but he has a bnz account and theres a bnz atm like 200 feet from our building that he walks by every day. Literally just take the cash and put it in there.

I'm not wiring somebody 100 bucks. I could do it but jesus fuck. I've never had someone ask me to wire a small amount of money. Told him I appreciate the beers and I have his $.

If you don't spend cash that's fine. Nice to have when you need to pay other people, or get change for pool table or laundry. But whatever no cash? Ok literally put it in the atm and in 30 second its in your account.

I've never really even heard of somebody asking somebody to wire less than 1k.

$100 is the current equivalent of $62 USD. Just seems insane to get mad that I don't want to wire such a small amount.

I would lose my shit if someone told me they dont take Venmo or Cash.
 
People wire cash all the time in Aus and NZ. Their banks have a more centralized format than ours so they don’t have to use Venmo and it’s not a pain in the ass like in usa. Have you never done that before??

I would not expect someone down there to have Venmo either.
