I got that same deal, but somewhere along the way they started charging me a monthly fee.

It was a huge pain to cancel, because it wasn't showing anywhere that I'd actually subscribed, so I couldn't just unsubscribe from the app or website.

I've used one of these before. The main problem is that you're often put on a hold for at least 72 hours.

And while this does help get you out of that immediate crisis, missing 3 days of work and pay can actually put you in a worse position when you get out.

And mental institution stays aren't always super helpful for long-term mental health. Many of them are as bad, if not worse than being in jail.

I was never trained to run their register, so mistakes are bound to happened.

The problem is that "yourself" still comes out eventually. And sometimes it takes a long while to find "the one" because you kind of hid certain aspects from your partners for too long. This is generally why most of my longer-term relationships have failed. Too many "best faces forward" for too long, until one breaks that

I was mid 30s when I found the one that is "the one". We had our first date in our work clothes, and had a conversation that would sound insane to any observers. For the last 5 years, I've never felt the need to hold anything back or change the way I talk about things, and I dont think she does either. Because we still have insane conversations

To me, it's very zen. it's more about putting the situation in the perspective that you need to handle the situation for what it is and not focus on being upset at the situation or being upset at not having a solution. Not every scenario has an end that works out for you, If you even have any control over it.

I usually hear it said when someone is having difficulty with a problem they have no real control over. Sometimes you just have to let things go and deal with your own emotions on the situation (which nobody else can do for you), or remove yourself from the situation entirely.

Find a trade. If you're good at what you do, it really doesn't matter how wierd or fucked up you are. You can even get in full-on arguments with your boss that get forgotten about once everyone calms down.

As long-term career advice, I think this is helpful In finding something that doesn't drag you down. If you can't be yourself at work it's going to be far more taxing.

But I absolutely understand this is a luxury to be able to be in that position of being choosy about your employer.

You'll be far happier in an environment that enjoys you for being you, but you'll find a job quicker by saying what they want to hear

Somwhat related quote from my father in law about being a good worker:

"First year, they like you. Second year, they love you. Third year, they just start using you"

We've tried both clover and thyme, but we can't get them to really take off. But I think we just weren't doing enough at a time and wildlife was eating it all. Our current course of action has been killing sections of grass with a tarp, then planting the clover and our first patch is doing well.

By all accounts, he was an awesome person. Full on embodiment of rock n roll. Life-long meth addict, alcoholic, and womanizer, but you never hear anything bad about him. He managed to be all those things and still be good person.

I'm a huge motorhead fan. The name is a not insignificant part of why I chose this as a reddit alternative over the others
