That's not much, only a few hundred there.

At capacity our place holds about 110-125k, which includes our entire outside being jammed up. Right now in those pics we're pretty empty compared to what we can be.

Chep pallets are best pallets.

**Tokitoki** · 2016-03-31 07:06

That's a lot of pallets.

The picture I posted is deceiving; those are only the stacks that reach two stories+. It's a yard just full of pallets. Not as many as in your picture though. Definitely not.

I think ya remember me posting about my brother getting a job. Well, false alarm which turns it into a fail; the recruiter called him back and said the job was delayed. (AKA. No job.)

/sigh. Can't bro ever catch a break?

My fail is I'm doing training out in San Diego.. Got to this garage at 5 am and had to get the cleaning crew to let me in to use the bathrooms.. Well every door in here has a code to get thru and every door has different codes -_- .. So after doing my business I realize the cleaning guy left and I can't get back outside to my truck so have to wait inside till 7 for the instructor

Found out my grandad died this morning and I'm so filled with regret. I was inseperable from him when I was younger but drifted away as I got older as I was never really a 'family' person. And after I emigrated barely ever spoke to him. I knew he hadn't been doing great over the last 6 months and still just never got around to calling. I honestly don't think I'm going to have a bigger regret in my life.

I want to jump on the first plane back to England (5 hours from now) to be with family but my Dad says I don't need to and nobody expects me to fly back.

I am seriously at a loss at what to do. I have been incredibly lucky and haven't had to deal with a death in adulthood. The last family death was 20 years ago when I was 9.

Lots of nursing homes have coded exits to keep the alzheimer's patients from leaving.

I'm so sorry. Living with regret is so hard and I really do hope that you can find solace and peace.

I would say do what feels right. If you want to fly back to be with family and to pay your last respects, then do that, even if your family says you shouldn't or that you don't need to. It may bring you some of the closure you seek.

Friggin banks man. So customer sends a helper with check to us. Since we can't really give an exact quote without seeing how much they have she writes on there not to exceed $75 but leaves the actual amount blank which gets filled in with $20. We cash the check and get $20.... everything should be fine right? Nope somehow her bank deducted the $75 from her account but only transferred $20 our bank. So where is the missing $55? idk but apparently it's our problem to deal with instead of her crooked bank

You fucking fly back and pay your respects. There is no question on what to do here homey. You go home.

Woken up at 4am this morning to the unmistakable sounds of my dog puking. She thought she was being helpful by going to the most remote location in the house to puke in shame, which happened to be behind my entertainment center/TV/cable box/gaming consoles and all their assorted wires. I can laugh about it now but it was so gross and stupid to be moving all of that shit at 4am to clean it up. Dog is fine, for anyone who was going to ask.

Adding to this: The final time I saw my last living grandfather was at my grandmother's funeral. Almost a year later he went through an incredibly painful loss to cancer and I just couldn't bring myself to visit, and then I couldn't bring myself to even go to the funeral. I'm still torn on whether the correct thing was to change how I'd remember him by going, or by thinking fondly on the good times and letting the last time I saw him be enough.

If you feel you should go, you should go, and that's all there is to it.

Nailed it.

The reason they're telling you that you don't need to is because as you stated you were "never really a family person", so they don't expect it of you but you do it anyways. Don't make your biggest regret even bigger.

Yep. Nice this time of year too.

I want a new job but know I'd be stupid to throw away this position as it pays better than anything I'm going to find. I hate feeling trapped.

**dasva** · 2016-03-31 16:04

Could try window shopping for jobs

In the same boat. Shit thing is that's it's not even the job I hate, just the snakes that I work with.
