It's a shame they won't even ask what she needs to make. Maybe it's a language barrier issue. See if she knows the difference between Y'all and All Y'all. If not, it may be a language barrier, not a pay barrier.
Just kidding. :laugh: 0 -
I think I'll be experiencing the opposite of this. I work in IA, live in IL...cost of living is suuuuuper low here. We're thinking of moving west...I know wages are much higher but I also know cost of living increase is going to be shocking! Probably will feel like Chicago prices at first. (Priciest place we frequent) I guess it all evens out but we live in about the cheapest place to live...it will take some getting used to.0

How far west are you going? Montana has expensive housing but most everything else is cheaper than places I've been before. Water and power are VERY cheap here for now.0

Well...California, Oregon or Colorado. Our buddy lives in Colorado Springs and he said it is comparable to where we currently are, cost wise...however if it was up to him...he wouldn't re-pick that exact city. We would be suburban so of course that is cheaper than the bigger cities. Housing prices are caaaa-razy to us. Not only do we live in Cheapsville...we bought our house at the bottom of the market, late 2009! We got our house for a song...it has increased value over 30k in 6 years...but the bad side...people are leaving IL...fast and by big numbers...we have 3 vacant houses on our little dead end street. We need to get out before prices start dropping...0

One of the things I like about this line of work is that I am assured, no matter where I live, that a job shouldn't be too difficult to get. Night Auditors, especially experienced ones, just aren't that easy to come by.0

Chilling, for now, drinking coffee, trying to wake up and tell myself to get my sorry butt back on the wagon.0 -
I fell off this weekend too, no worries. Today is a new day (tomorrow?) I never know what day it is or what's today and what's tomorrow... #nightshiftproblems
And they brought donuts to the PD and I had one. I wasn't even hungry and ate one anyways.0 -
Food is a drug, it's time we treat it as such. Addiction is addiction. Avoid relapse by not giving in.0

Yeah. Talking to dayshifters makes it even more complicated.
I'll start out, "Yeah, I should sleep pretty well tonight...er *dayshifter looks confused* uhm...tomorrow morn...ing? Whenever the eff it is I actually sleep. F*&K it!"0 -

I feel this statement is promoting anorexia....not cool.0 -
Thank goodness for a slow night tonight. I needed the break.0

Heck yeah you did! Between the crazy people and the unhappy/hurting animals I would definitely feel drained.0 -

That is what I'm hoping for when we first move out there. I can throw on a wig, long sleeves and flip my septum ring up...I look normal, have years of experience and am willing to work nights...shouldn't be a problem!

Perception is just that. We can't give in to our negative cravings of processed junk foods.0 -

I've been on a cookie wagon. Made a batch of pre-cut pre-made Minion cookies with my kiddo. They were maybe half dollar size...my kid had a few...I ate THE REST! Two days later, I impulse buy Reese's PB Oreos...and eat 2/3 a package for dinner. At least the specialty flavors are smaller packs...I guess? And you know what the worst part is? I can't even TASTE things properly still! They taste sweet, but that's about it...

Last night is yesterday afternoon, tonight is this afternoon, this weekend is Wed/Thu...I confuse myself sometimes!

refer back to my original statement. It's hard but finally medicine has proven that good addiction is a disorder just like anything else. Addictions need to be broken. It's a matter of reprogramming your body and mind. Takes time but with discipline anything is possible. I used to crave cake and cookies and Cheetos, now i crave salmon, fresh fruit, and whole grains.0 -
Don't feed the trolls...do NOT feed the trolls....
It should be easy enough to find a job for you @Frankie_Felinius. You seem smart, experienced, willing to work nights, more than capable of handling the bullsmurf people throw at you.
I would think most places would be pretty lenient when it comes to appearance nowadays. Especially if you're going to continue working nights.

One doughtnut is not going to kill everything. I mostly went WAY over on my calories. I've developed a taste for FRESH FRUIT SMOOTHIES lately which has caused me to go over on my calories. No loss to log this week.
Just goes to show that MODERATION in EVERYTHING is good and it is truly a CALORIE DEFICIT that leads to weight loss.

Maybe I could jump onto the cookie wagon to push you off...but first I need to get off of my "watermelon with lays potato chips" on top wagon...0 -

Only 6 more months until this officer leaves. 6 more months.
We don't needto notify anyone if a nitrogen tank is low on a Monday night. They will fix it in the morning. We only need to notify someone if the temperature rises above negative 187 degrees Fahrenheit. If it's still at minus 200 degrees then we have NOTHING to worry about because NO ONE is going into those labs and opening the freezers!
Every tiny problem is not a GIANT problem that requires notifying the whole campus about.
Unnecessary radio traffic.

I struggle with food sabotage at work. Last night a co-worker brought in yogurt covered pretzels. I was pretty good but still ate about 8 or 10 pretzels. I had a little down time and that's when I weaken.
Watching a crazy thunderstorm right now in Indy--it has been storming all night.0 -
@kidcuba176
I'm quite aware that I have an attachment to food. I'm an emotional eater. I also have to work night shift in a high stress environment and help look after my future step son during the day. I'm aware that lack of sleep leads to a craving for foods higher in fat, calories, and/or carbs.
No one is leading me down any roads of misinformation. Thank you for assuming that I'm so naive as to be lead down a dangerous road on a thread. I simply stated it bc the people on her know the struggle of trying to maintain healthy eating on a very abnormal schedule. I stated that I had a donut bc I wanted to admit that I didn't have the self control to resist. I'm not stupid and don't need to be reminded about how food is an addiction.
Please take your condescending attitude elsewhere. AKA bye Felicia!!0 -

I'm reading a book called The Gift of Fear and it suggests that the best solution to deal with most crazies who are craving attention, is to ignore them. If they don't get any attention then they have to go latch their tentacles onto someone/something else.
But you handled it in a very direct manner. Let's just hope that SOME people on this website understand that 'no' means no and 'get lost' means go away.

@jennifer_417 What does a night auditor do exactly?
Well, thanks. I used to work in a tattoo shop and I'd love to do that again. I was in line to be shop manager but the owner and I just couldn't work together. He was flighty, let employees walk all over him, everything was "later"...I'm so not that kind of manager, let alone person in general. I loved the job (and I could look however I wanted to) so it was really tough quitting. Even if I don't find another job like that, places are more lenient nowadays, you're right...especially if you have a good work history...and if they don't...I can fool 'em to thinking I'm "normal"...at least while I'm on the clock.
We auditors basically run the paperwork for the night, make sure all the numbers are correct, nothing is out of balance, fix others mistakes. Booooring.
