Same here, I still do a lot of complex problem solving and modeling but excel/python handles a lot of the dirty work for me.

My favorite is summoning salt.

Ultimately they’ve pissed off both sides with how they handled pride this year and last year.

For sure, some of the worst by some accounts. I’m not that familiar with the lower west side, but even by me wayyyy up north there are certain neighborhoods where if everyone got together in one place there’s almost a guarantee for violence.

Which I guess is my point, if that neighborhood has a lot of issues with gang violence the event planners should have been proactive and secured different spot. If they didn’t see it coming or the police got wind of something the day of, not much anyone can really do.

I get the sentiment, but it’s Chicago my guy it’s pretty diverse here. If cops start shutting everything down because brown people exist nothing would get done here 😂

I think this is from a mobile game I used to play… Neko Atsume? Pretty cute and fun.

Have you ever talked to her about it? Are you a supervisor or any sort even if she’s not a direct report?

This is minor, but if it bothers you and distracts you from your work I’d say address it as feedback - “Hey, I’m usually pretty busy when you come in. You seemed upset that I don’t get a chance to stop and properly greet you, but I’m focused on work at that time, let’s catch up on a break/lunch”

I used to let so many of these little things go because it wasn’t worth it but little things add up and can make the workplace miserable. I’ve found people are pretty understanding and I started being more assertive about distractions and my work life has improved a lot. I’m ADHD and getting derailed kills my productivity. People eating at their desks, approaching me the moment they need something, asking questions when the answers are available on SharePoint, etc.

Yeah loss of human life and serious injuries are heartbreaking, but to me it’s equally as saddening to see animals get caught up in human bullshit. Donkey was just doing his job pulling a cart. Animals are so defenseless.

Nice! I just started doing something similar at work and came across Todist but I’m trying ticktick first - it integrates with my outlook inbox and calendar so it’s easy to create email-related followups and such. Somewhat related to my personal life I put everything on my Google calendar. Important dates, plans, reminders, etc. It’s the only reason I have any sort of grasp on my life.

Same with atomic habits I have some habit tracking calendars/notebooks but it’s soooo easy to fall off and skip weeks.

ADHD is a real bitch sometimes.

Thanks I’ll check this out, I’m almost finished with atomic habits. Any other recommendations? I’m medicated but working on breaking some of my ADHD tendencies.

Fucking brutal way to go, rest in peace.

Uh oh

Those are Noctua fans so a decent percentage of the price tag too lol. I count 22 that’s like $600+ in just fans.

Hey ADHD friends, I recommend the self help book Atomic Habits. I’m not perfect and neither is the book, but I’m make genuine progress on a lot of long term goals using some things I learned in there. It’s not specifically for ADHD but it helped me get over the lack of apparent progress when I apply myself because I document what I’m doing to work towards them.

I’m still a fucking disaster tho.

Wait, you guys are getting BJs?

Avoid retail because those jobs will be brutal and pay less. Check indeed for warehousing, the good jobs will be small businesses and 3PL as they both typically operate during normal business hours. Apply even if you don’t have experience, it’s not complicated work so… I can only speak for myself but I mostly look for aptitude, effort, and attention to detail.

We currently have 2 full-time jobs open and our 3PL is an hour away in the suburbs and they’re also struggling to find people, full time M-F. Obvious positions like receiving and pick/pack, forklift drivers, and also kitting/assembly, special projects like labelling, etc. It can be mind numbing work at times but if you stay open to trying new things you’ll end up doing something different every day and moving between departments. If you’re reliable and put in effort it’s easy to move into a supervisory role and salary can be anywhere from $50-$80k+ but 60k is typical.

I did all these things and I’m an operations manager now and make very good money. People see warehousing as a dead end job but honestly it opens a lot of doors into operations jobs.

I hate how most of my job is being a professional emailer.

Well maybe we shouldn’t turn something people need to survive into a game of min/max P&L. I know construction and real estate companies need a profit to survive, but unchecked profit maximizing is bad for everyone but shareholders.

Why build a ranch when you can build a 2flat or multi family unit that takes up the entire lot, that only corporations can scoop up as an investment, or already wealthy individuals can buy outright and rent it out to squeeze any potential profit out of the working class that’s struggling to survive. That’s why there’s so few affordable single family homes being built, and if you don’t see that as a problem right now then I don’t know what to tell ya.

Fr you never see ranch houses being built anymore, they’re all luxury townhouses or multi story mcmansions or generic suburb homes that trade good design for maximum sq ft.

I just want a small house with a decent yard… $500k easy around where I live. The affordable ones are bought above asking price and demolished to build two-flats or luxury homes.

No link but American wild burger, the one in the city shut down apparently but there’s still one in the suburbs. Add bacon cheese and BBQ sauce and you’re at a little over $20 for a burger with no fries.

If you go to Google maps and just type burgers and filter price $20+ or $30+ there are plenty burger bars that will match that criteria.
