I bonked my head again because I'm the perfect height to get whacked by the pipes that stick out everywhere

Yeah, they do NOT got this shit together.

Oh, and that guy also said this building has too many people, when a quick peek into any random trailer would immediately tell you that this is a lie. Trailers with shit all over the floor blocking the way in and out, load quality that's basically just a pile of boxes, constantly jammed lines...

Apparently I'm on thin ice because of my second injury, but it doesn't matter anymore. This shit is crazy. They don't even realize what FedEx has turned them into. This isn't normal. What the hell happened here?

What the hell happened to people... I realize I'm in shithole Texas, but is this really how people act now? It's like they've become feral animals. Even the other guy I was talking to couldn't really deny that the people here are figuratively eating each other.

And also since apparently the hub manager was skulking around today, management was doing a bunch of weird shit, so this is probably a "cut the head of the serpent" scenario. Like no wonder this place is such a shithole...

But I think this, more than anything, is the problem with this place. Everyone, especially those with even a little power, think they're better then everyone and immediately believe the worst of others. This has been a fairly consistent attitude and makes those who aren't like that stand out

And all these overconfident dudes like to pretend they can't hear me through my mask. Although given that he sheepishly backed off once I got right up to him and told him exactly why I couldn't do the thing he wanted, maybe he really couldn't understand me. That's a first.

That's the second time some manager tried to throw his weight around and ended up looking like a complete moron. In some ways it's funny, in other ways, it's just pathetic.

I dropped off a package at the seedy looking post office where I get my mail instead of the nice one across town and I'm already regretting it since there's no tracking scan update

The vote was 215-214 with the 3 notable missing votes because Dems died in office. If you are one of those people scolding those of us who say it's time for old ass reps to retire, know you're part of the reason all these Americans got fucked.

Some guy made an umprompted speech implying I shouldn't wear a mask despite sounding like his brain got eaten by covid

Are you working to become the person Lwaxana Troi knew you could be? ✨️

This morning my arms felt like visual snow. Now it's just some tingling in the hands, which I suppose is an improvement...

They also said I could go today but I ain't waiting 4 hours just for them to tell me I'm good. But seriously it's so bizarre, the pain comes and goes in my neck, how's that make sense? I'd say thinking about it makes my head hurt, but that's probably just the neck pain.

Gotta go to urgent care again tomorrow. They made the appointment for me when the place isn't even open so I guess I'll just stand outside creepily at 3:30 in the morning.

Parasthesia is the weirdest feeling, especially when it comes and goes. It's like I can feel the electricity traveling through my body.

Times are tough. Have an Enterprise.

Thompson was given far more kindness than was deserved

It's always "we need a liberal [disinfo merchant]" and never "we need to get back to basics and address fundamental quality of life issues, like childcare, healthcare, housing, and jobs."

Hurts to sit, hurts to squat, hurts to lift, hurts to bend, and hurts to get up, ironically standing itself is better, walking isn't too bad overall...

I made an inspirational greeting card with a spinning Ken Masters. So to all those frustrated out there: "Don't give up because I am... Shoryuken do it!"

Seriously, this shit hurts so bad... How do I even work like this lol I can't imagine 3 days is gonna be enough recovery time.

I also finally got bonked on the head by that pipe that I always knew I'd someday run into. Hopefully it doesn't retrigger any serious concussion symptoms.

Guess who got injured a second time at this fuckin place

Eating was a mistake, it just makes things worse

I've had jobs in multiple states and can say jobs in Texas are the worst of them by far

My problem with the unload has always been the ICs. Lots of loaders stick them in the belly and they're impossible to get out. You have to set them aside, too. Or you're supposed to. If I ever see tires come down the belt in this place, it'll probably be my last day once I find the guy who did it.

And why is a load I've never worked in showing up for the shift swaps? Why only that one? I guess because they're across from each other? I'm surprised Unload doesn't show up on the list, usually they steal people from every section whenever possible.

I wonder how taking two shifts in one day would work here. Would you just keep going or would you stop for the shift change? If it's a different section, would your current manager actually agree to let you leave at the shift change? Sometimes you stay over...

Even though I don't want to call in this soon, I'm worried I'll paint the trailers with unspeakable fluids if I go in tonight... Can't tell if it's a flare up or that frozen gyoza was too old yet

Politico hit piece on Zohran claims that supporting Israel is an “American value.” Absolutely the fuck not. Israel has zero “right to exist” and I don’t have to support a genocidal foreign apartheid ethnostate bc I’m an American

Also I spent most of my shift dissociating both because of the nausea and apparently I get anxious in the trailers now. Wonderful. I'm so glad I have additional paranoias to deal with.

Although I personally don't care too much what some drunk on power manager/admin says, it's just the general attitude that makes it a bad place to be. That's probably why there's no one left on the load, who would want to deal with that...

But also... I heard yet another admin/manager yelling at someone today, so apparently this shit is just a part of the work culture and I'm not sure I want any part of that.

Load side was predictably awful, esp because I'm either having a flare up or food poisoning. And drinking water usually makes me sicker during either one but I can't not do it given this type of job.

I don't even throw boxes down most of the time, both because that's kinda shitty even if it's a very sturdy box with nothing breakable inside, and because they'll land every way except for the way you want.

Another nosy admin recording people's metrics today... Of course it was the one time I wasn't loading anything because I had to circle around the entire trailer after clearing the chute for the fifth time and I refuse to do stupid shit like jump down into the belly from the plates.

Seriously, loadside /again/. Put me in smalls, swak, tower, qa, I don't care, just anything else. Maybe not ICs, my arms are too short to handle anything large... Even with light boxes it's a problem sometimes. The embarrassment of needing help with a 46lb box just because my arms don't reach...

Maybe the whole incident affected me more than I thought? But it's more in a way of "this is just absurd" than anything else. Maybe I should consider a different job.

Toei Animation wants to use AI for storyboards, animation & color corrections, inbetweens, and backgrounds (generated from photos)...... corp.toei-anim.co.jp/ja/ir/main/0...

Maybe he had a bad day or thought there was another lazy person not doing enough in this section (which there are, to the point I thought I was doing something wrong scanning them all), but it's not appreciated that I was immediately assumed to be slacking instead of the obvious scanner failure.
