My custom style sheet for BL got broken with the recent changes even on the alt styles. Forgot how bright this place is, we really need a dark theme. I typically only run white text on black these days when I can. I reckon I need to write myself a new custom CSS for BL but I really wish the forum had one as an option. I know I'm not alone on this. In my old age I'm getting to the point where my eyes just can't deal with all the white/bright styles anymore. I really wish dark themes would come back into style as it seems every website opts for bright styles these days. 
Things have been good and bad on my end. Everyone is raving and loved the recent batch of LSD I gave away a few weeks ago. Lots of old heads got their first taste of L recently (some haven't dropped since the 70s/80s) and have been very thankful. They're all wanting more but I just don't have the time to take care of them. They'll have to wait until I'm able to gift more out again. Really wish I would have had the time to drop with some of them but I can't make time for a trip as of late. Looking forward to trying that batch myself soon as I can though. I have enough for myself and a few friends put away.
Work has been good and bad. Lots of drama going on, the staff is very frustrated and some people are starting to take it out on each other. I've attempted to stay out of it but today I couldn't avoid it. I've been training a kid for two weeks who showed some promise. Got him driving the fork lift and taught him how to run one of the machines. He's been doing good but the last few days he's had a bit of an attitude and since I've been working with him I haven't been able to avoid it. I've been trying to keep him out of trouble and safe but he can't separate professional life from personal life. He's been partying on weekdays, coming in on no sleep/hungover and taking it out on me. He's almost run me over with the lift a few times. He's going way too fast and is starting to become a know-it-all. Today, I was as nice as possible and asked him to slow down because going fast is how people get hurt. He took it as a personal insult and started running his mouth to me with that hoodrat/jail attitude that I simply can't stand.
Real shame too he's a smart kid but he's more concerned about his pride than just living life. He got a compliment because he had one good day where everything went smooth, made a good production number, and his head swole up to the size of a balloon. Thankfully, I'm done training him as far as I know and will be getting moved to learn something new myself. I really just need some time away from him. I've gotten to the point where I no longer speak to him unless I absolutely have to. I think he might be doing cocaine or something similar now that I think about it. Something is up with him for sure. I try not to bring work home or rant about it but I thought I'd give an update since I ranted about it last time I was around.
I've switched into "fuck it" mode personally. I still care but I only have so many fucks to give in a day so I make sure I only give out ones when they matter. I'm sticking around the 9-5 life for about another year or so. As soon as I save up 5-8k I'm doing my AT thru-hike. I've set a hard date for April of next year. If I save $100 a week until then I'll have plenty of money with 2-3k to spare if I add in my tax refund. I've been talking about doing the AT for too long so I'm going to go ahead and make sure I do it within a year or so. It helps me get through the day. Every 2 days I work earns me 1-2 days on the AT. I don't know if I'll still be working this job by then but I plan on working year for sure. I just put in a bunch of applications last weekend and I'm getting some call backs. If something better comes along I'll be putting in my 2 weeks and moving on. Working too hard for the salary I'm making at the moment. I wouldn't mind staying either but they're going to have to make some changes. All the current long-term staff is talking about moving on. We're understaffed, overworked, and don't even have the proper equipment. The competition is right across town and they pay their staff more and treat them better. Everyone is thinking about jumping ship. The president of our company flew in today and toured the plant. Had a 4 hour meeting with my boss. I think he might be getting fired. When 200+ people have cycled through in 6 months and the staffing companies refuse to send anymore people you know there are major problems in management.
Anyway enough about my bullshit. I hope everyone has been well. Going to read the thread and catch up.
