Random DIY mixing and More

Updates, Okay I will try before too more questions.

How am I? Exhausted but a lot of things are more organized.

House one is OFF the table. What a pair of nut jobs. The politician seemed to think "we can take this offer off the table" was a negotiating tactic, he must have said it 7 times and texted it a few. I sent calming texts, he was an emotional manipulator and a jerk.

For EXAMPLE who wants to PAY someone ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS to fill THEIR old propane tank up to see if it WORKS because they had some legal/illegal line from their parent's home, (depended on which one you talked to they should keep their stories straight.) BUT EITHER WAY, NO YOU ADVERTISED it as propane, sorry, you said it was ready to SELL and no you want ME not the guaranteed buyer, to PAY THAT UPFRONT what if the sale doesn't happen.

I was like (nicely) dude look I do real estate and I am telling you any buyer credulous enough to go for that you don't want like living next door I would CONSIDER purchasing some REMAINING propane if there is a lot left to be NEIGHBORLY but not NOW ALSO your OWN contract states NO MATERIAL change after the inspection so NO you cannot make it back to your free GAS it is WINTER so unless you want to reinspect the pipes....

But when we were about to start incurring serious cost... well, sadly like uh, the mineral rights issue came up. We had figured out by this time how nuts they were and oil/gas rights in WV are MESSED UP. Like, you can own the SURFACE Of your land and they can only get at your minerals by tunneling deep underground and whatnot so rather than wait for the deeds we requested they fill out six questions including 1)WHICH OF EITHER OF YOU OWNS ANY RIGHTS and WHICH ONES. We asked for it to be notarized by then because we were just DONE with them. Pay our closing costs! No real estate attorney we won't do it buy OUR PROPANE WHAT IS NEXT SHAVE OUR DOG?

So, they were "deeply insulted" by then and the dude like, offered to withdraw the contract.

Then like always, he was like, "Maybe we should call and talk this out."

I was like, "I would like to talk out your weight so I can figure the arsenic dose" (but I did not say that I just POLITELY emailed while ignoring all the "we can work this out talk.) They sent us back our earnest money (They withdrew the contract they had to) and I hope they have ONE K of propane sitting in their tank that I did not pay for for a LONG LONG TIME.

So that is the house. We found THE PERFECT HOUSE it SO SERIOUSLY IS IT IS PERFECT.

I'm not jinxing it by further discussion but thank GOD we have a real estate agent. I LOVE IT!! Also no drilling issues. So, yeah.

House talk done for now. If it starts to Happen, well....

Couldn't you just say you want to review one? Then one will magically appear at your door.

I’m not sure if sourcemore will carry it or not. That’s the only way I could review it. I contacted innokin before about doing reviews but they didn’t seem to be interested. The only person I’ve seen do any innokin reviews is SP013.

I almost forgot, congratulations to Jc and vaper for winning the kroma z. I guess I’m going to have to buy one if I want to try it.

I almost thought I won this morning when I logged into the forum. The Innokin rep tagged me in a post... When I checked I saw she was just telling me I have good taste right after announcing the winners.

Congrats to JC and Vaper1960.

Work: Mostly GOOD this week is going to try and kill me.

Let me ask something because I think my boss is not nice, and I also think the company practice is EVIL.

So, I was told as the "low man on the totem pole" that *I* had to cover the psych unit on the weekend if it ever came up and it didn't that MUCH and I was like, um we did not do totem poles we were an Indian Reservation we saved our totem poles to carve out of cactus and we ALL took turns because that is fair. I was assured it would NEVER happen and like hardly ever at all.

I am ALSO used to, if I work overtime, taking time off so I do not die of fatigue. I mean.. SO then the "holiday list" came around and we all had to sign up. So like, we did and there is "not a day off later for you" it's time and a half which... sucks.

SO THEN this whole wack job ER thing came up when all of a sudden social workers had to work their regular day, SIGN UP to work like 4:30 til midnight or whatever, then return to work at seven after about 4 hours sleep. Um. SO, PROACTIVELY I asked my supervisor if (it was NOT mandatory at that point but I could see it GO ON for 6 months which it will.) "Do I have to do this, is it mandatory, I CANNOT WORK 3 NORMAL SHIFTS OF WORK WITH 4 HOURS OF SLEEP IN BETWEEN THAT WOULD BE CATSTROPHIC FOR ME." I was like, "Tell me now, so I can get ready. I will take a weekend shift but only if you PROMISE that means as the "low man on the totem pole" I am not SHOVED a shift you can't fill. He was all like ,"Oh god, no we know you can't don't worry about it."

So guess what I am DOING tomorrow with a DAY's NOTICE. YUP.

I am so ...... off, I am going to talk to my doctor I AM ADA and I will not even be able to drive me TO or FROM work the next two days that is how dangerous it is for me.

I told my boss he had engaged in "informal ADA talk" which like, he is TOO NEW AND DUMB a supervisor to even know what that means. HE also said he meant don't worry about "OCTOBER" even though I was already saying, "I KNOW WINTER WILL COME" and he knew DARN well I was asking about the future AND I felt bad NOT helping but there were times I COULD NOT. He knew as well as I did. I was just like,, "I am not invoking my ADA rights TODAY because it would be unfair to EVERYONE and cause chaos but I want you to know, personally, that I will no longer be doing it."

So, pretty much I am GOING to invoke my ADA RIGHTS TO ONLY EVER EVER EVER work scheduled days including holidays. I am going to REVOKE my "low man on the totem pole" weekends at this job They are chronically understaffed and it is not MY problem.

When I was younger. When I COULD. I CAME IN AS ADA. THEY KNEW IT.

So, pretty much, I got rather royally annoyed and my boss could tell and I was like "Dude I asked if this would EVER be mandatory and told you I couldn't I WOULD never have let this day come.

So I'm trying to be chill about it but I am not working a SINGLE DAY OF OVERNIGHTS of shifts that do not allow my brain to repair itself or of OVERWORK generally because frankly.......

I am new. GUESS WHO IS MOST STRESSED? ME. I am learning all the new stuff, moving every five minutes, trying to make things work I mean WHO came up with this "haze the new person by trying to kill them" nonsnese which I HAVE NEVER RUN INTO BEFORE.

So, I would mention the INSANITY of having 100 social workers and the two people picking up slack one is the newest and has a seizure dx (it's the closest I can come with med, sx, and needs I no longer disclose my BP dx EVER) and coudl DIE and the second newest one is in PA and like, has a metal rod in her back and can't sit for new periods and this could happen again NEXT WEEK when 65 (apparently 5 do all the extra work kinda) OTHER OLDER SW get to go home and frankly , EAT FATTENING food and yell at their kids.

So no more overtime for this chicka but I gotta admit I am a bit nervous, it's been a long time I"ve worked a schedule like that and it starts TOMORROW. I don't even know when and how I get DINNER.

But, whatevr. One time.

They are not going to win though I refuse to work ANY MOMENT more than I have to I am long past that because your OWN job is too much etc. SO NO.

I am stressed, but I assume it is transient.

Anna

I would bring up the hazing but I know what that would get .I did tell my supervisor I don't know why he did not get off his .... and hand EVERY NON workign social worker a number and say, "You are next, so get ready."

MESSED UP.

Glad the doc is ok so far. Really hoping the job turns out better.

 

[stols001]

Yeah actually the perfect job for me would be the first 5 months of acclamation time when you are learning new stuff? Before you figure out all the hinky like, work politics and who hates who and who likes who? Because you are too new and busy...... learning? THAT is ALWAYS the perfect job man.

However, for that you need a willing partner, a teleporter and possibly a time machine.

Then your job turns into...a job. It has some good, some bad, some indifferent. I just need to work it so it can't kill me and that is what ADA is for, and I will INVOKE it, and that way if I get in trouble for refusing to work overtime (I can't! OUTSIDE THE MANDATORY 5-10 hours a week in healthcare you do so you don't drown to death.)

I have never had a job where I have casually been told "Oooh we know you have a health condition we were SO WORRIED we thought we might have to not have you do CPR you are so tiny? HUH? But you can work 24 hours straight with 4 hours sleep somewhere in there. Oh, you mentioned before "I can't DO THAT I SAY THAT NOW AND I REASSURED YOU? I MEANT IN SEPTEMBER... WINTER IS COMING."

I have never ever had that and I have worked at some pretty tough places. Brain hurts.

So yeah, now it will be the job I work that I will like most of before I retire LOL.

I mean.... This morning my "Little brother from another mother but maybe like, he has a different dad because the dude adores me but also thinks I am WAY sexy but I firmly quash?" Well he IS one of those people you instantly recognize and you go, "You are from my tribe."

I had this (he is smart) really lengthy discussion about post acute withdrawal syndrome and deformed receptors in the brain, receptors dying off LOTS Of long words on a whiteboard. Don't worry about the details. So I see him on the elevator before as I get in and he is like, "STOP!! Look at this!" and he shows me some thing on his phone and like , some staff member had written up "FEARER NOTHING," and it amused him and he takes pics of that stuff, and I was like, "I can't even read that dude, I'm old I need glasses" so he blows it up and I say, neutrally, "We all have our bad spelling days, LOL, that is pretty weak though, don't tell me who, I hate too easily already."

I got him set up to get massages because he is on non narcotics and his back goes out and at first he wanted to know if he could just "hire prostitutes to do it." I was like, "So and so, I thought you had a girlfriend, get a bad massage for free, I mean you COULD pay a prostitute to do it but it's not in their training, exactly it might not be the best VALUE for money, why not just like talk to your PCP."

So now whenever he and I encounter each other publicly (in private, sorta) I yell, "Forget the prostitutes! They are untrained and uncharted waters!" or some variation and he yells something back.

You can't love a client (platonically) that much all the time, so that is a great part of the job.

He got my humor because he bought me "something" from Starbucks my 3rd day (he is all over that place) and asked me what I would like, and I said "A new car?" and he still bought my coffee. LOL.

Fortunately, SW can bang/date/marry their ex clients NEVER that is how upright we are. We are STRICT. I mean... It makes me nauseous I feel certain parts clamp down. LOL.

I mean.... LCPCs tell you to wait TWO YEARS and you could almost secretly date, be with and move forward with gestating a BABY in that time, frankly. And get away with it if you timed it right sorta,

BUT SW.... NOPE.

He's better as my cousin, or half brother or well whatever you appreciate but do not date. He is free to fantasize about my awesomeness as much as he wants but like, LOL, I really think he's okay there it's pretty much like the... "sweetest thing", the person that makes you smile in a platonic way. He's my favorite but Veterans, as a whole, are the best.

Good thing we never got high together type thing thought that would not have resulted in Awesome. Or the worst sort of awesome.

I have not used bad words, or nothing. Posting and to bed.

Himself builds furniture. Before we had money and room, he only used antique hand tools. When we moved here, he built a 24x24 shop out back with a little room set aside for my stained glass and paint. I think he’s really talented, but then again I’m highly biased!! I thought I had more pictures, but here are a few...

Oh I didn't know that you only reviewed for Sourcemore. I just assumed it was the vape companies themselves that sent the stuff to you.

Geekvape and another one sends him stuff all the time. Sourcemore is more recent.

 

[hittman]

Oh I didn't know that you only reviewed for Sourcemore. I just assumed it was the vape companies themselves that sent the stuff to you.

I do reviews also for geekvape, vaporesso, and Freemax. I just recently started doing them for sourcemore. However, sourcemore will let me make a list to pick from. The others just send something when a new product comes out.

 

[Redbird11]

Geekvape and another one sends him stuff all the time. Sourcemore is more recent.

I see. No one ever asks me to review anything.

 

[newyork13]

Un-die, get out of the hospital and apologize for worrying you lot. If I am not around without some kind of notification in some way it's a safe bet I am in time out, not dead. Really. Not from this thread but another one that gets me in trouble I should probably stay away from it. And export some emails from my PMs into my uh, contacts since when you are banned, you are not able to access your PMs.

Really. It was my twice yearly banning. I am sorry to worry everyone I am fine, lots going on but I am totally fine. I feel really bad for making you all worry though I was like... USE the FORCE SOMEONE email me, I am totally FINE!

Sorry to get you all worried. Must drink coffee and etc. Talk more later.

Anna

Glad to know you're well.
I guess I'd like to get banned too. Just to complete my rebellious present. Would a maskless pic do? Or would I have to be naked?

You’ll get there. It takes copious amounts of patience for woodworking (hence the reason I don’t “help”). Most of what he’s built has been out of need (and we’re both cheapos), like the kitchen island. The tv stand he built because I told him he couldn’t put a giant tv in the den unless it had an actual piece of furniture to sit on lol. It’s form was adapted from an 18th c Louisiana plantation hunt table. The other two I showed are 1:1 copies of plantation pieces in the museum here.

really impressive
