No shop talk, just a weekly post so people can chat about anything that's on your mind. This is a self care post, reminding you to take a break and stretch your mind. Inspired by the Biblical tradition of the day of rest (the fourth commandment).
Put your feet up, play a word game, ask a riddle, or tell a joke. Just relax. Burnout isn't good for you.

2025.01.24 23:00 ProfessionalUpset411 Coworker Fired
Hello everyone, I have a question about termination that hopefully a manager can give me some insight on. It's a little long, but I figured a bit of background detail is needed. For context, I work in a manufacturing setting with multiple buildings on the premises. I am a fill in supervisor when the lead of our department is not there.
We have this coworker who was hired about 8 months ago or so. He is a good guy, but VERY out there. He has had head injuries in the past and a history with substance abuse. He talks to himself constantly, talks to others to the extent that he is distracting them from their jobs in a he can't read the room kind of way, and it is very hard to keep him focused and on task without basically holding his hand. I am 29f, he is in his mid to late 30s and I feel like I'm dealing with a son who's a few crayons short of a box. Not to be harsh, that's just how it feels.
If you give him a task he doesn't like, he either gets super disheartened and struggles through it, or acts like he needs to grab something from another building and basically hides somewhere. He has days where he acts all weird like this where it's almost easier to do his work for him, and other days he's a chatty cathy but gets the job done at least.
For additional context, he has 2 children with 2 different women, has issues with both of them, and is actively battling custody drama over the younger child. He also pays child support for both. So he is walking off all time to answer the phone (either baby mamas or his lawyer), calls in or shows up late with little warning due to court hearings etc.
Managers have attributed a lot of his weird shenanigans to him just being a weird dude, but also being distracted by all his legal struggles. Because of this, managers have tried to be very patient with him. He actually improved for a month or two, but then dropped the ball a few times again and was switched to a less demanding department where he was basically given work a lazy high schooler could do. He seemed to appreciate the decrease in work stress after switching departments, but it didn't take long for him to get squirrely again.
Last week there was a day where I was in charge and he gave me a lot of attitude about the tasks to be done that day. I suggested he help another coworker who's partner was late if he didn't like what we have on the docket (trying to be flexible and accommodating, plus this is the team he was initially pulled from so he knows their routine). He did at first, but then found me and a different coworker on forklifts in a different building. We were moving pallets around when he comes in and starts talking about anything but work like he does.
I reminded him there's 2 fork lifts and 2 people operating them, so there was no need for his presence and that he wasn't going to spend his day talking and standing in our way. I asked him to return to helping the coworker in the other building who's partner was late. He proceeded to tell me with attitude that his partner was now there and that they didn't need him and sent him to us.
So I told him to either do the things I originally listed that he scoffed at, OR do things on our list of cleaning tasks. He begrudgingly said okay, so I assumed he went to do that.
I took a pallet from the building I was just speaking to him in, and brought it to a building we just had erected that does not yet have power. It has a loading door on one end and a man door on the other. I went through the loading door, turned the fork lift lights on, and saw him scuttle out the man door on the other side. This building is empty aside from the pallets I'm bringing in, so he has no reason to be out there. Again there is no power, so he's just standing out there in the dark in 5°F weather like a lunatic.
I drop my load, go get another, and cross paths with my coworker on the other forklift. He tells me he just saw the problem child take off down the road in his car. Didn't ask me to be dismissed, just left. I go speak to our GM (manager was gone that day as well). He said he ran in, told him he was sick (which GM thought was BS), and took off. I was glad he told someone, but that was a dick move. I relay all this to the coworker who needed help. He said he absolutely didn't tell him they didn't need his help any longer and they definitely did. He just took off on him and came to us.
The next day the manager who was gone wanted my version of the story. He told me how fed up he is of this behavior and that he's helped him out personally and is really bummed he keeps letting the team down. Keep in mind this was only a week ago.
The new plan was to give him one more chance and have him be the maintenance guy's little helper, or work in the front building where we have a kitchen that has a flakey dishwasher...just goofy little shit to keep him occupied but in ways where his shenanigans don't negatively impact the rest of the team he's with.
Well that didn't last long because he was finally let go today. My employer is somewhat lax about handbook stuff, like talking about firings etc. For example sometimes there's a juicy backstory to it and it definitely gets around, even via certain managers if the right person is asking.
A couple coworkers said the manger brought it to their attention and said it was due to a culmination of all the shit he's been up to and also something he can't legally talk about.
So my question is, with the context given, what do you guys think he may have done that can't legally be talked about when other examples were freely given?

2025.01.24 23:00 JacksBestRose Input on MPFL/graft re-tear
Hi! I’m looking for some input.. I had my MPFL reconstruction surgery with the hamstring graft in July. I’ve been having quite a bit pain/discomfort in my patellar tendon region since October basically. They say it’s tendonitis but the pain level stays the same.. never better or worse.
That was until end of December I hurt myself at work (I was cleared to go back by my doctor in October). Essentially, a patient of mine fainted. I caught them and lowered them to the ground. I was up and down in squatting position to standing very quickly. At the time, I was not thinking of my knee, I was more worried about my patient and making sure they were okay. With that being said, once the adrenaline wore off, my knee HURT. Got an MRI done a couple weeks ago and found out that the graft tore. I don’t think it was completely tore. My doctor said he wants to “play this slow” and see if the tear scars over and we can avoid doing the surgery again. I have been continuing going to PT 2 times a week and working a light duty job for the time being.
I’m just wondering if anyone else had torn their graft and it scarred over (avoiding a second surgery). I’ve had no change in pain level since my work injury. Some days it’s really bad and others it’s mild. Additionally, I can feel my knee cap start to slip out occasionally and it freaks me out. So has anyone tore their graft and it healed on its own? If surgery will be inevitable, I’d rather not wait around and just get it done. Sorry, this was a lot, but I appreciate any and all input!!

2025.01.24 23:00 No-Historian1276 Is it weird that my fiancée took sexy pictures and didn’t send them to me?
My fiancée(37f) and I(40m) just went out for lunch and she showed me a picture she took last night of her bare breast with a nipple clamp on it that we recently bought for her. She said she took it for me while I was in the shower and I jokingly said she should have sent it to me. She said she wouldn’t do that because sometimes my kids will grab my phone..fair enough. However, she never takes sexy pictures like that of herself and the couple times she did since we’ve been together, which is 2 years, she did send them to me. I am probably being dumb but should I be concerned that she is sending that to someone else or do women actually take sexy pics of themselves and not send them to their man?

2025.01.24 23:00 OtherArea7303 In some ways I feel sorry for Annie
This is all she’s known.
A man who groomed her at a young age and is a philanderer. The pressure to stay in that marriage because she needs to prove she won above all the other baby mothers and side chicks .
Can you imagine how hard the trolls will go in on her if they get divorced.
2Face knows she’s stuck.
Because she’s only known negativity (cheating husband, contentious other baby mama relationships, waring in laws etc), she projects that on to everyone else. She truly believes no one else is happy, so they must all be miserable like her.
It’s really quite sad. I hope one day she puts her self first one day and finds happiness. She’s actually a very beautiful woman.
One more thing, because I just binged watch everything, she’s very obsessed with calling out how light skinned the other women are. Which is interesting because she proclaimed loudly in season 1 that Zari wasn’t his type. He only likes dark skinned girls.
Annie I wish you peace abeg.

2025.01.24 23:00 Not_Invited Autism & Visas
I'm in the UK and while I've been on the autism diagnosis waiting list for a few years, I've been really worried about actually getting an autism diagnosis. I'm worried it'll be a black mark against my name for the future, especially considering the state of the world atm. I'm also trans, so if the UK starts taking a dip, I'm worried that having that diagnosis will bar me from a lot of countries.
I do have complicated disabilities but I'm hoping to work on my health and to be well enough to at least be able to work from home. I also might end up seeking asylum somewhere if the transphobia gets particularly rife over here.
From what I've seen from a web search, it's not necessarily about the diagnosis itself, but how it affects you. I'd love further info if anyone has it!

2025.01.24 23:00 rhinoconjunctivitis HDM/Cockroach/Shellfish Crossreactivity
I've tested positive for dust mites and cockroaches. I was surprised to see cockroaches, but this actually makes sense because they are cross-reactive due to tropomyosin.
I happen to love shrimp and calamari, both of which contain tropomyosin and are cross-reactive with HDM and roaches.
Am I cooked?? I really don't want to develop a shrimp or squid allergy later in life 😭. I realize I'm definitely at greater risk, but how much greater?
I'm curious about other people's experiences with this tropomyosin cross-reactivity. People with HDM or roach sensitivity, are you also sensitized to shellfish? Which allergy came first and how long did it take to develop the other one(s)?

2025.01.24 23:00 Embarrassed247365 I love an alcoholic. It's really difficult.
We became friends for a while, but we have been together for over a year now. He won't go to AA or counseling. It's complicated. He has no insurance and left his job to be with me. I had enough money to support us for a long time and I needed his physical help with my elderly mom and my work that is very physically demanding. He works in that he does at least half of my work load. Some days more, some days less. Our compromise has been that he drinks only a certain amount a day (375 ml I think?). Sometimes it's less, sometimes (rarely) he doesn't drink at all for a day. He is amazing in so many ways and I love him so much. We had such a good night last night just getting along and in the middle of the night we had sex and it was amazing. Sometimes it isn't amazing, but it's nice. We both are worn down and tired so sometimes it's sweet or just fooling around etc. He let's me sleep all day today, which was also amazing. I didn't realize I sleep all day until he woke me up and asked if I was getting up soon as it's after 4 pm here. I was surprised he didn't wake me all day, but appreciate his letting me rest. I laid here just trying to wake up and think. It seemed like no time before he came back and asked if I could get up because he's bored and wants to go to the store. I wasn't very kind, but I always try to be careful with my words. I asked why he was bored because there's a million things that need to be done here. He complained that I was in bed all day. I said he let me... He didn't wake me till now and I was so tired I wasn't even compelled to wake up on my own. Now I'm the lazy one... And he says he's done so much and wants to go to the store (he doesn't drive)... but again, I was so tired that I didn't even wake on my own. He had to wake me up. I'm kinda pissed because we had a great night, he let me sleep and now he's at this point where he's bored and wants alcohol and it's not even 5 pm. We live in the middle of no where so I'm sure there's not AA meetings but there sure is a liquor store 3 miles away. He could have said things differently and I would have gotten up and gone to the store immediately. Now I'm back to disgusted with the way we live like this around his addiction. I'm trying to just keep my mouth shut but I said if he was bored there's plenty to do and I think that's a reasonable statement. It hurts my feelings because we had a great night and for some reason he let me sleep all day... But now his addiction is calling him because he's bored? I'm definitely hurt. I have no clue what to do other than placate him. He only drinks enough to get that good feeling and he's not going past a certain line... But every day I'm feeling irritated that we spend money on alcohol and cigarettes and I don't have an equal habit that costs money like this. I also see it as selfish because we are very in love but what he's doing is definitely going to shorten his lifespan... Then what? We are together an unknown amount of time and then he dies and I'm alone for the rest of my life ? It feels unfair.

2025.01.24 23:00 RubixcubeRat Subs for people that struggle with being anti social
People shit on people that are anti social and it’s deemed as a very negative trait, and honestly I could easily understand why. But there’s lots of things that cause one to be deeply anti social including trauma or mental illness. I’m not talking about simply being a loner, rather truly struggling with the extreme desire to not want to be around anyone and not understanding why. At least something among those lines
