I was almost fired when I worked as a parking lot attendant.

How the process worked is, the lot served a community college and there was only one way in the parking lot. It was a flat rate, so the customer would pay the 2 bucks (or whatever it was) I would hand them a sequentially numbered ticket that they would put on their dash and they would park.

At the end of the shift I would fill out a deposit slip that had a entry for what ticket number I started with and what ticket number I ended with and I put all the cash and that slip in a plastic bag that would seal up and I would deposit it in the bank. Typically the daily deposit amount would be around 350 bucks.

Well one day the boss calls me and says that they can’t find a deposit and I have to come in and explain why. I went in and told them that I made the deposit at the end of yesterday’s shift.

I get suspended.

About a week later the boss calls me and says the bank found the deposit and my suspension is over. I had already found another job so I just told him that I am resigning.

What to know the really fucking up part? Every now and then a driver would give me back the ticket as they left the parking lot. I would just throw it in the trash. Well one day a driver handed me his ticket as he was leaving, and another driver was coming in so, I just reused the ticket.

You see what is coming, don’t you? I started making a point of reusing tickets and keeping the two bucks. I would STEAL the money. I would steal odd amounts, 16 bucks one day, 22 bucks the next day.

I figure I must have stolen at least 1000 bucks from that place when it was all said and done.

and some of the dumbest, most entitled Jesus-humping maga fucks in the country.’

HAHAHA!!!

I agree. My wife and I fought against separate beds for a long time, but some things went down that required us to have alternate sleep schedules so that forced us to do it.

That was 12 years ago and we have had separate bedrooms ever since.

We have since learned that pretty much all of our friends who have been married for significant number of years sleep in separate beds. Sleeping is such an important part of living and a huge impact on QoL. So once you accept that quality sleep is a basic need and not a referendum on the state of the marriage it just solves a set of problems.

This was my reaction at first but when I thought about it my perspective changed. Fatigued driving is really dangerous. Your response/reaction time is severely degraded as is your decision making ability.

Impaired driving isn’t just from being intoxicated.

It is similar to how people with seizures disorders can’t drive.

There is no need to justify anything. It is your money.

I didn’t really have any issues with the standard issue nose mask, what I did struggle with at first was the tube, but I hung a sheppad’s hook near my bed to keep the mask elevated away from me.

That allows me to toss and turn and not deal with the tube in my face.

I do have to admit, when I first started using it I had a lot of dreams about snakes.

My wife hasn’t had a panic attack since she started it

That is awesome! Talk about a great unplanned for benefit.

It isn’t all. It means she knows what she is doing!

I too will testify to the power of the CPAP!

I was diagnosed with Sleep Apena and refused to use it.

I am not putting that stupid thing on my face at night.

Well when the MVA told me that if I didn’t show logs of usage I would loose my divers license i started.

It took one night to convince me it was the greatest thing ever, and I felt so stupid for not using it sooner.

My wife actually thought something was wrong because I was so “quiet” when I slept.

Sleep Apena is no bullshit and it is amazing how much it was dragging me down.

Uh huh, sure but that doesn’t change anything. They are still really bad movies.

I don’t see anyway that an inflatable car cover will be at all practical. When it comes to hail your only other is park in a covered garage.

next time you want to hang with the weirdos, ask yourself constantly whether you vibe with the weirdos.

To me this is the best answer I have seen in this thread.

The OP read the room wrong.

It is not played out at all. Go for it.

OMG yes!!!

Or someone in the house using the phone in the middle of it…

oh man, in 98 it was nothing to spend 5 hours a day online.

Keep in mind that 35% of that was connecting and reconnecting.

Hehe

In no way does your family history replace the need for those screenings. Just because there is no history of Colon Cancer doesn’t mean you don’t need to get you colon checked out.

Your family’s history is just an indicator and can be addressed by many other means.

I wouldn’t do tape. If you don’t want a cloud option, why not use use a thumb drive?

If you are willing to do tape, you can store a thumb drive into same way.

Other than the not working here part, I have to deal with that.

I really wouldn’t give a shit.

My biological parents were both worthless parents.

The guy who raised me wasn’t my biological father.

I adopted my son.

The only “issue” with not knowing your biological parents is the lack of family medical history, but that really is not big deal.

People who are nostalgic for the 1950s are remembering episodes of Happy Days.
