In my experience managers lie to applicants massively in job interviews: about job conditions, training conditions, available free days, how taxing the job is, how supportive your coworkers are…

Younger me believed managers and coworkers when they said they would support me to be more knowledgeable, wouldn’t mind I use my downtime to learn. In reality they ignored me during training and criticized me savagely for reading manuals while my coworkers were talking about football fields, which to me is a waste of time. I always did my job when clients came, learning exclusively during downtime but manager chose to ignore that. Being accused of not doing your job like this while wanting to be better sends a clear message that your development is not important. I stopped trusting people after that.

I’ve reached a point where I don’t give much fucks about it anymore: In the past I used to be more engaged than now, I genuinely enjoyed learning but now... my new motto is I go to work for a paycheck and I go home asap to enjoy my life as much as I can. It’s a complete disconnect from my job.

Do I stay with the crap I know or do I keep looking for something better? I’m in a union and hurdles to fire me according to several people are high, I take it easy at work, I go to the toilet as much as I possibly can (and learn or read), I don’t have to deal with people I dislike for long, I don’t do any overtime and have no qualms about calling in sick. It took me a health scare to understand this job is not more important than me.

But I also don’t want to do this for the rest of my life, because it’s physically demanding and I won’t be young forever, I could earn more if I keep learning and update my certifications, I could get a desk job before I break my back doing my current job…

But is it worth it to try to find a better job? Because people are gonna people and wherever I go I’ll have to deal with people that sabotage me like I described before.

Or maybe I’m wrong?

My 15 denier hold ups have a hole I want to stitch (15 denier is considered very thin). All I have at home is your regular 100% cotton yarn, no idea what denier.

Hole is on a toe, so nobody would see it if I don't wear sandals. Am I going to ruin them?

My white hold ups are a bit brown on the toes.

Do I need to do something other than submerge in tepid water with unscented soap, rub them and let them soak for 10 minutes before laying them flat to dry?

would you ever wash em in the washing machine?

Online I found this egg for 23 euros. I then visited several sex shops asking for vibrating eggs like that one. On the first one they showed me this one for 130 euros. They insisted is waterproof according to IPX7 and that cheaper models are won't bring me to orgasm.

Is the second model 6 times better than the first one? I never expected a sex toy to be this expensive.

At another sex shop they offered this which can be bought directly from the manufacturer for 50 euros, but in this sex shop was valued at 90 euros, which is an insane markup.

They also had this one for 130 euros in store.

I don’t know if I should only buy ‘brand’ vibrators or simply trust amazon reviews and buy the cheapest one for 23 euros. Other reviews about the most expensive models over 100 euros indicate some customers are unhappy with the product, considering the price. Neither do I know what brands are reputable ones, if any, because I cannot give back a thing like this if I don’t like it.

Every listed toy is made in China so I don’t get the radical markups.

If you use egg vibrators, are there any brands I should look for?

For vaginal and anal use.
