Two weird questions. What’s your fridge set at and how far away do you buy your milk?

It’s pretty common in grocery stores and during shipping for milk containers to break, jugs or bags. I’m wondering if perhaps your fridge is set too high and your store is close enough that when you put the milk in your fridge it would be the coldest object, causing condensation which makes a puddle of ‘milk’ that is washed off the outside of the jug.

Maybe? It’s weird that it doesn’t ‘leak’ after you open it.

Doing what I can to document but I’m realizing that it’s a deliberately informal workplace likely to avoid this type of records keeping.

We’ll see how Tuesday goes but I don’t see them not getting involved.

My brother is a Health and Safety trainer, auditor etc. He’s been a good resource and I’m confident of my standing but have reached out to several people I know that facilitate legal resources if needs be.

Yup. I have emails and such that I’m backing up. I have multiple witnesses to conversations. I’m engaging resources that I have outside of work as well in terms of legal next steps and making sure I can keep affording my medication.

Still internal. So by exposed I mean legally they have been informed of this negligence and not acted in a timely manner to address it. I gave them a week to do what they need to do and Friday went to another employees house after work and went over the SDS for the chemical that has possible injured him because they had yet to inform him. They had their chance.

Long weekend so Tuesday a machine isn’t get turned on and by Wednesday they start losing about 2k every 4 minutes.

Pretty bad shit. Corrosive enough to blind or nerve damage within 3 minutes. Long term aerosol exposure rating of 2mg/m3.

I’ve recently exposed what I think constitutes criminal negligence at my company for safe handling of various chemicals. Pretty sure I’m getting fired on Tuesday.

AMA?

The Last Man on Earth was also amazing and under recognized.

While you were neurotypical, I studied the unwind.

While you were able-bodied, I studied the unwind.

While you developed your career, I studied the unwind.

Now you’re stressed out and have the audacity to come for advice!?!

Lmao. ASD, MCAS, 4 years disability. I’ve got lots of practice.

Podcasts. I have a very aural internal experience and just having someone else’s voice in my head helps a lot.

Video games. There’s so much science put into making video games an escape it’s almost like cheating. If you look at them as an engineered tool designed for escapism it’s kind of amazing.

Gardening. Takes a certain amount of privilege in space, money and patience but it hits a very deep evolutionary satisfaction.

Nature. Just get as deep into trees as you can and then sit or walk. Find a tree that you like and keep visiting it through the year. Watch how things change through the season and how it fights a fungus or feeds the birds. Connect to an ephemeral but living thing in an implicitly liminal space to disconnect from your constructed reality.

Making something. Shelves are easy. Pizza or pie is just involved enough but not too much effort. Good for iteration and practice too. Lots of people do Lego or puzzles. I enjoyed 3d printing but it’s a major time investment thats hard to maintain.

I really enjoy The Long Dark in pilgrim/easy mode.

A) no other game captures walking in the woods during winter the way this one does. Brings me right back to growing up in the bush in Eastern Ontario.
B) it’s a walking/scavenging/survival game in an empty of people world. On easy mode you don’t need to worry about the predators and the survival elements are more realistic than punishing as in higher difficulties.

They’ve recently added some interior design elements so you can find an abandoned cabin and just hole up in a quiet world. It’s a really nice escape I find.

In Canada at least most groceries stores with have frozen mixed vegetables in ‘Asian’ or California’ mixes. Great for a quick ramen stir fry.
