GAP Locations

Hi everyone, I could really use some advice. I’ve been working as an administrative assistant for a state government agency for the past 8 years. Before that, I worked in retail for quite a while (roughly 2005–2014 but small stints 2005-2006, 2008-2010 2010-2011 2014), including clothing stores and customer-facing roles with rental car companies , and I also briefly worked in the restaurant industry around 2019–2020 while still at my current job. I’m now trying to transition back into a full time store mall retail specifically a fashion shoe retail store, Adidas but I’m worried because I’ve been out of that space for a long time. I’ve been invited to complete a HireVue (one-...

"The last message was three hours long. My grandmother left it thirty-one days after her funeral. And the phone is still ringing." "I'm Megan. This is what she said." The police didn't believe me. They sat in my living room with their notebooks and their bored eyes. They asked the same questions three different ways. Why didn't you erase the messages? Why did you keep the machine plugged in? Why did you listen to each one so many times? I told them the truth. She was my grandmother. She raised me after my parents split. When you lose the only person who ever loved you without conditions, you don't delete their voice. You hoard it. You play it when t...

# The fear is legitimate If you've been using desktop software for your theater inventory (and a lot of you have been using CostumeInventory for years), I understand the hesitation about moving to the cloud. The fear, if I had to put it in one sentence, is: *losing control of your data.* What if the internet goes down? What if the company shuts down? What if something goes wrong and I can't get to my own inventory? Those are valid questions. I'm going to answer them honestly, because I've spent thirty years in IT and I've asked every one of them myself. # I was not a cloud believer I'll be upfront: I resisted cloud for most of my career. My standard posit...

Being a partner in Base44 or just really sticking around with the community let you hear things. Common problems, common painpoints, common goals. One of those common issues that stuck with me was the struggle to get to mobile. Everyone's moving fast now, too fast. Clients want mobile apps. But the jump from web to native is expensive, slow, and requires a completely different skill set. In a world where everyone needs to make sure they get to the next project as easily as possible, respectfully and realistically ain't nobody had time for that. And that's how CapWrapper was a love letter to every dev out there who had to Mcguyver together APIs, Webhooks, thoughts and pra...

There is a particular kind of satisfaction in watching something destructive become useful. Lantana camara has been choking out native vegetation across Far North Queensland for over a century. Giant rat tail grass carpets degraded paddocks in monoculture mats so dense they exclude everything else. Sicklepod fixes its roots into whatever disturbed soil it can find and refuses to leave. These three plants are, by any honest measure, ecological enemies — persistent, aggressive, and extraordinarily difficult to eradicate. Patches of them appear constantly within our polyculture: in gaps left by harvesting, on disturbed margins, in areas where a productive species has struggled to establish. W...

Sooo the shortest and easiest way to say this is, I’m a 40 year old guy. I dated a woman for about 7 years. I lived in one she lived in another for the 1st year. Then we both moved to a new state together. After about 6 months of living together we had a child. After that Child was born we immediately had another one. Boom full blown family🤦🏼‍♂️ fast forward a couple of years and we weren’t on the same page. She loses her job and decides to take the kids to visit her parents. She’s gone for 3 weeks then comes home. Immediately we realize we were both at peace without each other. One morning we’re arguing about finances. Mind you I paid all of the bills, she was unem...

> **Previously:** [Part 1/8 — The Wall](https://www.reddit.com/r/libraryofshadows/comments/1skfs09/) It began as the kind of experiment you don't mention to anyone because hearing it aloud would force you to decide whether it sounded pathetic or insane. I recorded the wall. The first time was on a Tuesday. I had come home from work with a microwaved container of rice and chicken and the particular headache office lighting builds directly behind the eyes. At 8:55, without planning to, I opened the voice memo app on my phone and pressed it flat against the bedroom wall I shared with 4B. The phone stayed there for nearly two hours. I let it run while I ate. While I brushed my ...

Where can I get these clothes, accessories, faces... and even maps like these models made? I am new to modelling and this is frying me, and I can't even find some good models on the creator store

In my straight razor shaving days I got myself a cloth and leather strop. Then a paddle strop which is only a couple of inches wide. Can I use that on a kitchen knife ? Is it wide enough or do I need the wider paddle sold by the knife stores ?

For context I’m the guy who loves rave and festival culture and am a fan of being extra, exploration, and expression.

Okay, so I’ve been deep in the AI tools space for a while now, and let’s be real: most things are just ChatGPT wrappers with a new UI. But Accio Work actually surprised me. We’re a small team of 5 running an e-com business, and it’s the first tool that’s actually made our workflow feel organized and scalable.Here’s the thing most people miss: the real value of it isn’t just the "tokens" or the chat interface. It’s the "Pre-built Capabilities + Skills System."Instead of just giving you a blank prompt and hoping for the best, it comes with a library of specialized skills that actually do the work. For our team, it’s completely changed how we divide tasks:1...

Hi, completely serious post here. I graduated university recently and took a gap year afterwards. I worked for a year in an adult store (legal) because I needed the money, and it was a really average retail experience where I was just selling product. I'm doing my master's right now, and I'm beginning my job hunt for a corporate job. I'm not ashamed of my job history, but I'm worried that companies will reject my resume for this. Do I include the name of where I worked? Do I change the name of the company to something inconspicuous but leave the duties the same? Should I take it out entirely? I don't want it to seem like I haven't been doing anything f...

I taught my daughter what my mother taught me. What my great-grandmother had told my grandmother and so on. The one simple rule that threaded through our town and sewed the community together. If they approach you and they are beautiful, do not trust them. If they approach you and they are hideous, thank them and be on your way. If their eyes follow, run and do not look back. That simple, simple rule that had supposedly been the first sentence my mother had ever dared to utter to me. And with that, after a gruelling labour I held my little baby, still covered in mucus and blood and membrane, and whispered the very same thing to her. It was barely audible above her cries, but they let me ho...

Basically I have a jacket I really like to wear, it’s not like crazy or odd, just a denim jacket, though it is baggy on me. I like to wear it with long shorts and slides. Personally I don’t think this is a crazy outfit anyway but even if it was I feel like I should be allowed to pick my own clothes as a grown woman in my 20s. This is one of the outfits my partner refuses to go outside with me in. They will get upset if I put it on or ask if I can wear it, which I do because I know if I just put it on I’ll get in trouble for it. And like now they took all their outside clothes off and left the room because I said I wanted to wear those clothes. Am I so delusional that this is a horrid...

About 1 to 2 years ago, I went to this thrift/resale store in OP (or very close by). I remember they mostly had furniture, but there was also some clothing and accessories. It was a fairly small place in a strip mall, and the name of it definitely contained a woman's name. I tried googling, but the only thing that sounded similar was Lily's Estate Sales, and that place was too big. I also remember they said their main form of sales was through facebook marketplace. Please let me know if this sounds familiar!

\[PART 1:\] I’ve been a 911 call operator for about five years now. I don’t love it. I get to hear the worst parts of society while having my grim imagination fill in the gaps with bleak visuals; it is not ideal. But I have rent and a useless art degree to pay off. Plus, having insurance in America is a luxury, so I’ll take what I can get. I live in a small, rural county with just one call center, my agency. I work the night shift, which isn’t so bad after your body gets used to the nocturnal lifestyle. There are usually about four of us working nights. We all spread out as far as we can in such a compact space, shielding ourselves from the scrutiny of our co-workers as we all slack...

“Got a situation over here. A real fat one. I sliced a slab off his belly, tasted great, but it’s my stomach in knots. Oh, be quick too, I’m worried someone will see me. People been out fishing. Huntin’ too.” God damnit, Bill. That might’ve been the one voice I wanted to hear the least today. Not might’ve. It was. My daughter Evelyn’s sixth birthday party just started, and I was going to be spending her special day in the woods with a fat dead guy and my brother. “Daddy, I got a new princess book, and you can read it to me tonight!” Evelyn jumped onto me, tapping her wand on my forehead. “Well, Dad’s gotta work tonight, you gotta get Mommy to do that!” I told h...

Hi! I've just gotten into writing and want to know y'all's feedback on my first chapter, I am planning to make it possibly NSFW in future chapters. I want to know if you guys think I could change up this exposition part? I'm planning to edit it, since I've changed a few things. here it is! The treeline loomed like a wall of knotted hair, its branches choked by vines that appeared to tighten the closer I got. I've been told time and time again by the townsfolk to not go past the fences surrounding our neighborhood, as we don't know what's past them. All we have been told is that past the branches being adorned in green, red, yellow, and purple is onl...

This ended up being way longer than I expected lol so thanks if you read it all but if not, TLDR: Sister experienced a likely bedbug infestation 6 years ago. Despite me living states away from her, it triggered a massive mental breakdown which was actually the trigger for my OCD diagnosis. A few weeks ago, I traveled & stayed in a hotel for the first time in years. No signs of bed bugs in the hotel, but still super ******* paranoid about them and the obsessions are starting to come back. Has anyone dealt with intense, overwhelming obsessions with bed bugs? This started for me in 2020 when my younger sister brought a hitchhiker home with her from the thrift store. Got bit in the typi...

I walk down the still crowded street in search of a place to sit. I have been going around aimlessly for almost an hour now, legs aching. But happy, because I'm finally here, in his city. I don't know exactly where he is right now. I don't have the address of the car shop he works at. He doesn't even know I'm here. He thinks I'm in Regina, sleeping after my hospital shift. The truth is, I did sleep, but on the flight coming here. I text him asking what time he leaves work. It's already 7pm in Veracruz, almost time for him to leave. But these car projects don't have specific hours to clock off, especially when there are short deadlines to meet. I feel...
