The Happiness Thread

I would be deeply wounded if you gave me 2000$. @Link the Writer

 

I think @Link the Writer is a genius of a caliber rarely seen in this world for coming up with such a devious plan, and I'll be basing my life on his teachings from now on.

 

Personal Legacy?

 

They're being a bit harsh, but they have a point Link.

You're not hurting that guy by lying to him. All you've really done is slightly skew his self image, and that's only if he believed you.

Confronting a Boss isn't an easy thing to do. Most of options are bad ones that end in a loss. There's no shame in that. But the worst loss would be lying to yourself about the outcome, it hinders personal growth.

 

D:

Oh. So perhaps the best course of action for me now is to just move on since he's not around anymore. Stop living in the past and live for the future and all that good stuff.

 

Maybe? I dunno. I might talk a good game, but mentally I'm a disaster.

Sounds like you have a decent plan though. Good luck with it.

 

And in truth, I think I'm too kindhearted to nurse grudges and become vindictive over it. Even if mentally I like to say I'm a vindictive old bastard.

 

@Link the Writer I was not trying to be mean, I was playing, and I apologize if it came across as harsh.

 

Honestly, I'd say that doing an even better job with your new boss than you did with them would be a great way to show spite.

In my last branch, the manager, let's call him X, before the current one voiced that he didn't think I had the attitude to be a supervisor. He put someone else's name, let's call him y, down for the course as well.

Three months ago, a different manager came in, he put me on the course, I studied from the tills (something y avoids like the plague) and in my own time, we got the official materials at the same time. Now I'm being tried out as a supervisor while y is still in the warehouse.

 

I AM NOT THAT DESPERATE FOR HOT SEX!!





Seriously though, they're both, like, in their 70s.

 

She's old enough to have remembered Truman/Dwight Eisenhower as the US president.

@big soft moose -- PERFECT!!

 

This just gave me a chuckle.

 

I got points from @Midnight.

 

I'm writing the outline for an abridged series on youtube. It should be up within the month

 

Celerity. That's the word you want. Celerity.

 

So I manage to snip off an oncoming anxiety episode just now. Apparently it was about to give me one of those "Oooh, what if your mom/dad is dying of a slow, painful cancer. What you gonna do then? Bet you're gonna drink? You're all alone with no friends" thoughts that I get every now and then. What I did was think, "I've got my online friends, my dogs, and the people at work. Not to mention the fictional characters in my head that I am, or will eventually begin, putting in stories. What do you have? Nothing. Not a damn thing. It is YOU that are alone, not me."

 

Oddly enough that giving up the sauce (while difficult),
the past two days have not been so bad.

 

Those ones are the easiest to seduce. She probably hasn't had her gutters cleaned since the Falklands.
