Sometimes you just want to try something new, even if it’s just for yourself. If you like it, you can keep doing it. If not, you gained valuable life experience.

I can access it over my VPN. I was mostly surprised that KYM would use an IP ban, and the wording of the notice was amusing.

I do have a VPN, but they are blocking my complex’s IP address here.

Heck yes! The Gridnode PC!

Here’s the email I sent them:

Greetings,

I have been informed by your charming and informative page that my IP address, 208.67.[redacted] has been banned. I live in an apartment complex with a complex provided network for internet. It is due to these unfortunate circumstances that I share an IP address with an individual which has behaved in a way deemed worthy of IP ban.

Please consider unbanning this IP address as it is shared by a minimum of 192 tenants.

Thanks for your time,

I got fired for being late with no written warnings. They walked me off the campus and everything. I was basically in tears. (In hindsight, they probably didn’t need me anymore, and didn’t want to give me notice. They probably also wanted me to be able to claim unemployment.) I was emotionally wrecked for months, even after I got a new job. The good news for me is that about 6 months after I got fired, I met the woman who would become my wife. We are now happily married. Keep on keeping on, friend!

My doctor screened me for mild depression (I had a major life change recently) and we were able to improve it with some basic lifestyle changes and a vitamin D supplement. Everyone is different, but the solution they propose isn’t always medication.

They already did. See the top of their post

Nope, it was written “Q-ing” on the “Q-ing Oven” itself, as well as in the training materials and manuals!

Edit: here’s the manual for it!

When I worked at McDonald’s in 2015, we called it Q-ing. That’s what the official term was. We got in trouble for calling it anything else.

We had something like that last year called canvas. It was great! [email protected]
