    1 Chinese gentleman , 1 venezuelan gentleman and myself are stuck in an elevator. They barely speak English and since I'm the only English speaking person they are using me as some kind of translator as they bicker over something, oh and I'm the elevator repair man. Having a great day so far 👍

    I’m sorry you got stuck but I love the diversity ❤️

    The best part is that security was calling for me on the walkie talkie to get the people out of the elevator. But then I informed them I was one of the people stuck in the elevator..... Laughter .. just laughter by multiple people over the radio

    Isn’t there some kind of key in the lobby that will pull all the elevators down to the main floor?

    Yes, that's called the fire service switch. It wouldn't have worked because the controller (main brain of the elevator) was tripped out

    No matter how large a suitcase I start out with when I'm packing to go out of town, I always end up wishing it had just a little more room

    Instead of my job actually training me for the section I’m supposed to work, they’re just throwing me around as a random extra person to wherever. They don’t have a partner for me yet again and I better not be put in the assembly room bc that’s not the section I bid. I’m a good worker so idk why I’m just being thrown to the side every day. They’ve even forgotten to put me on the schedule 3 times. I mean, I’m scheduled to be here but they don’t have anything for me to do.
    I’m over it. I’ll never bid this line again.
    They’re mad because you’re smart

    Thanks 😅 I think just don’t wanna deal with my one hour difference in schedule or finding someone who wants to deal with a new person.
    I did get hired at a really lucky time though because this is a line for the top of the food chain as far as seniority goes and I don’t even have a whole year under my belt yet. I might bid this line again if possible but I just have a temper when it comes to companies that refuse to train which is kinda all of them. 😅😅😅😤

    Are you sure you don't work for the US Army?

    I was just saying that the other day bc we use military time which took me a minute to learn and everything is based on seniority. I personally don’t get it. I’m not someone’s subordinate when we have the same job title. 🤨

    They're training you in EVERYTHING because they see big boss material in you.

    I am happy I’m getting different experience and they did put me in the right section today. The places they throw me though, I already know. It’s the training me for this other section they don’t want to deal with. I think I would learn better if I had consecutive days training and not once every 1-2 weeks. This will be my 3rd rodeo and we’ve been on this bid since early February.

    I do plan on becoming management at some point or a trainer.

    While I am pretty efficient (thank you) at packing, I use a hybrid method of folded and rolled clothes to avoid wrinkles, keep things organized, and use every bit of space possible. What I'm talking about is I choose a suitcase (I have 3 different sizes) and then I find out we're working outside in a tent and there's a 60% chance of rain, so I want to add boots and an umbrella, maybe some lighter shirts for layering, etc. Or the client sends a last minute update that we've changed hotels and there's no restaurant or room service on site, so now I want to bring my cold pack lunch bag with hard boiled eggs, yogurt, cheese and a few slices of bread and travel peanut butter and jelly pkgs.

    I just upgraded from the 8k mile oil to the 10k oil. Is there anyone out there who thinks this will help me be on time? (10k or 12 months. But I was at over 10k in this last 5 months. And I don’t honestly know if that’s high or not but if the other oil if 10k/12mo it must be?)

    Nope, dont think its gonna do a thing for you being on time. However, you really are very pretty.....😁

    I mean, geez Louise. I wasn’t expecting to win this award tonight. I didn’t technically start using the app until June that year really. And I had no clue there was a community portion to the dating….I mean fitness app. I thought it was just for tracking calories. Thank you MFP for this award.

    This guy I was talking to on the phone for over an hour. I’m like.. if he isn’t just lying straight out of his *kitten*…why TF would he be talking to me? From fb dating of all places. My profile didn’t even have much on it besides my pictures.
    I think someone who is as successful as he says he is (I’ll believe it when I see it) would be meeting many higher caliber women than I am. I’m literally just a joe schmo regular girl who doesn’t make a lot of money. I’m not even model status pretty. I’m small town hot, a Walmart 10 🤣. And that was in my younger years… highly suspicious imo.
    Guess we’ll see. If anything it’ll be a fun dating story because it already is.
    He said his ex was an overseas model who ran away with a chunk of his money and his friend after attempting to murder him. Wow. I mean, that’s a tv show trope right there. I do really meet a lot of characters on the internet 😎😅 Tune in for more as the story develops.

    Tell him in your off hours, you are working as a private detective for a detective agency and then see how long he sticks around! 🤣🤣

    I killed an elevator today. I dropped a screw driver off the top of 1 elevator and it landed 19 floors below onto another elevator and killed it. I'm a terrible elevator man 😭
