If that ever happened to me, I would hope a loved one would sneak into my hospital room with no witnesses and pull the plug for me.

But I'm guessing they already have armed security on standby and if someone was caught they'd be charged with two murders.

This is how I got my current job. They advertised it as temp, but it turned into a full-time contractor job where the company keeps us around for years but refuses to actually hire any of us and give us the standard paid time off and other benefits.

Is it ideal? No. But it beats retail by a long shot.

My partner and I generally try to pick it up ourselves so that we can give everything a quick double check, but yeah, even then it's not like we're tasting it before we go, so this shit can still happen. A recent example: we got takeout from a regularly visited pizza place to celebrate a new job, and while the pizzas looked nice, when we got home we found out they were thin and floppy as fuck. We found out the hard way that they only give you thicker crust when you order a specialty pizza like one with a calzone built in.

We try to go to the vegan places around us since in the last couple of years, veganism hasn't been as trendy (to the average treatler, I don't treat it like a trend myself) and vegan places generally have to keep their quality and quantity up to prevent going out of business. Several places around us that tried to downsize or raise prices have already closed down. A couple even reverted to food trucks since the costs are lower and customers tend to have lower standards while not really having to lower prices all that much.

Twisted fucked up cycle path.

Aww yeah

That one's a keeper.

"Tell you what Bawby, back in mah day, we used to type the main topic of our homework on wikipedia, paraphrase the best quotes, and then copy and paste the citation links for those quotes into the same citation generator the teacher would recommend in the class syllabus. Gosh darn kids don't even know how to bullshit their work enough for an overworked public school teacher to give it a B-."

Congrats! This is definitely an upgrade compared to fast food.

Working rural at USPS was personally one of the worst jobs I ever had, but my supervisor was also an anti-union dick that refused to let part timers work more than 2 days a week and then got mad when people said they had to go work at their 2nd job. ("This IS your job!" Yeah, ok buddy, not if you're only working us 20 hours a week.) I uh... also am a plus size autistic that doesn't do well in heat at all, so that didn't help. If you are working USPS I hope you get a reasonable mail load if you're delivering, but if you work indoors sorting mail or customer service, honestly those were some of the best jobs I saw before I got let go.

If you end up having a hell of a time, don't feel bad if you need to request a transfer or just use this to get an even better job somewhere else. I knew people that worked at my location that only switched there because they heard down the grape vine that a full time position was opening up in under a year. Otherwise, it's not uncommon to see elderly people working at a single spot for 15+ years only getting 40+ hours on crappy hourly wages while on "part-time" because they gradually learned every single route. USPS does not reward location based loyalty. Btw, if you're curious, at least while I was working in the rural union, part-timers don't get benefits or years counted towards retirement even if they do make it to full time. You start at 0 years no matter what when you're employed full-time.

My dumb ass getting an official diagnosis a couple months ago.

All this chart tells us is that the harder the dead cat bounce is, the worse the depression will be afterward.
