Too old for diapers?


Recommended Posts

I was just thinking off the top of my head what the biggest frustrations I have experienced in life and I have come up with the following list.

1. Being told what to do in life by pushy authoritarian fiugers no offence to anyone as specially those that keep us safe.

2. Being told that your too old to be wearing diapers and lied to that diapers are just for babies/toddlers.

3. Pornographic programs or webpages making a bad name out of those who have choosen to wear diapers or who have no choice.

4. Negative publicity, have you ever noticed that all the news I focused on is disasters or something else negitive I hate/should I say dislike this because I am depressed enough without people making it worse.

5. Bossy people who control other people who don't conform to their standards see above for a example.

6. Bad quality products, I hate products that are a rip off or are bad quality as specially ps3 games like red dead redemption or other products like diapers not that I am compairing the two as they are not the same thing. It's just not fair that there are so many adult diapers that are lousy quality as in rip open or don't absorb as much as they say.

7. Pushy salesmen I hate cold calls at 0:200am in the morning or when I am on holiday and am supposed to be asleep in bed or indeed at any time of the day, and I really don't like people who are trying to sell me something I don't want to buy or don't need.

8. Glitchy websites that cause me frustrations I don't like this!!!!!, as it drives me insane so please if their is a problem with the webpage please fix it asap by the way I wasn't referring to this one in particular it's just I don't like stupid drop down menu's that cover everything that your trying to read about.

9. Health professionals who don't see the problem with you until its too late Although I have the utmost respect for doctors and nurses I have no time to those who needlessly ignore me just because they have other agenda's.

and there you have it my top 1-9 frustrations on-line,I could go on further but it wouldn't fit all on this page!!!.

Yours sincerely

My biggest frustration right now is working for a guy who doesn't want or care to hear any ideas I have, and I often have good ideas. Not always, some bomb, but most are really good. Doesn't matter with him, he wants none of it. The company we work for has this list of standards and values and are all about taking intelligent risks, seeking opportunities for personal and professional growth, champion ideas, value of teamwork and such. My previous store manager was a walking text book definition of these values. I was promoted and transferred to This guy's store and he is the complete opposite. It's extremely frustrating and even though I want to throw my hands up and keep my ideas to myself sometimes, I keep pushing forwards into the wall that is him. Just on principle. The one constant in the universe is change, and eventually something will change.

I've begun to wonder if he's threatened by me. There's a lot of other things going on that have clued me into this question, not just the idea shoot downs. But that's a long story.

To the OP, if this response is considered a thread hijack, I am VERY sorry, but I could use some third party opinions here. This is something that for me, is a major dilemma in my life right now. I'm a creative person and I love to share my ideas and I believe with all my heart that a few of them I've been sitting on for the past year would benefit the company in huge ways...

First, my boss is a good man, but like me and everyone else in this world, he has his faults. His actions rarely reflect his words and his motives tend to be selfish: not what the company wants, or what would be best for the group (our store), but what he wants and is going to benefit him. I have been facing his wrath on more than one occasion as I made decisions that I know the company wants or was "doing the right thing" (another company motto). I'm his ASM btw, and will always do the right thing and am acutely aware that just because he's the boss, doesn't mean he's always right (another thing this company promotes is tactfully calling someone out on stuff like this, but that's a bad idea with him).

This isn't my first rodeo in retail. I tread carefully because of past experiences and things I've witnessed. We're our DM's top performing store and are second in the region. That's a boat no one is going to rock no matter what his faults are. Squeaky wheels get greased. He was brought into this company as a SM right at about the time I was promoted to his store. Our company claims no retaliation and all this happy stuff but like I said, I'm not new, or naive. I have run smaller in store ideas past the DM when he's been around and he's liked some of them and dismissed others. He seems a bit more open.

Having given that bit of background: I get what you're saying with the example of Miller. I have been contemplating sending my ideas in anyways. I don't know if I'm over thinking things or maybe I'm afraid to take a chance and burn my career, but I believe in the chain of command and not going over anyone's head. The company has an address you can send ideas to and even promotes people doing so. I have a lot of in store useful ideas but I have also had about 6 major game changing ideas that I don't think anyone at even the regional level is qualified to make as it is a direction changer for the company and could potentially make millions on the back end while simultaneously improving daily store running. Some of my ideas are product ideas that could be sold in store, some are things that if patented could be used to run our store and other companies would want, and some are marketing and advertising ideas that could improve certain sections of our stores. Hence why I believe that these half dozen ideas are something no one at the regional level is qualified to make a decision on.

I've run a few of them by my DM. His reaction was basically like "I'm indulging you, but this isn't why we're here" kind of thing. Hard to explain. I try to remain objective and take constructive criticism as way to see things from another angle and improve oneself. Some of what he had to say about the ideas I presented to him had truth. Mainly concerning why the company wouldn't want to invest time into them as it's not a direction they are probably not wanting to go in. I can see that, and I could accept that, if that's what they decided. I brought my ideas to them as a matter of respect for the chain of command and hopefully to get input on how to make them better. My point of view is one thing, but if others read them and contributed, it could be a home run. No one seems interested. I'm kind of like that crazy guy who has crazy ideas and is a little of the deep end. It was something my previous store manager loved about me. He would love to have me back as his ASM and has expressed as much. He said "I think you were doing a lot more than you were being given credit for", and that was only two weeks after I left.

Anyways, that's where I'm at right now. Between a rock and a hard place. I think I'm reaching a point where I'm going to send them in anyways. I just don't want to burn anyone or my career. I believe with every fiber of my being that at least one of my major ideas would be a home run and make the company a lot of money.

Moved here from "Incontinence Medical" section as a more appropriate forum ;)

You can only go so far with getting changes when you're working directly for somebody else. Sometimes your only course for advancement lies in leaving there and going to work for someone more receptive to your ideas. Sometimes the only path forward is to start your own business. My current employer has become an idiot through the use of heavy-duty prescription painkillers. Where I was once able to move us forward together, I cannot now even slow the slide downhill and backwards so I'm making my arrangements to 'jump ship' and continue my own career journey without them. It is not what I wanted to do but I really have no other choice- I'm slowly going nuts dealing with the daily insanity at work that's only getting worse. I have to take care of me first to be any good for anyone else.

Good luck with upcoming life-changes. We work for ourselves and I have to say it is a mixed bag. But if you can make it work, the rewards can be significant and not just monetarily.
