    It been constantly colder then -20c/-5F for over a week now. Even my extremely furry dog gets cold paws and start jumping on 3 legs from a 20 minutes walk, changing what leg he keeps up in the air every now and then. And I cant go running. It takes 10 minutes just to get dressed to go outside.

    I'm not happy that apparently my The Rock topic got deleted. The mods must be Cena fans.

    You cannot have links to external sites as posts. It is a forum rule.

    Man I haven't seen wrestling since the days of razor ramon and bret the hitman, now that was entertainment.

    It was a link-based thread. Generally discouraged, since we can't be certain where the links lead to. It could be virus/malware sites, or just inappropriate material (this is a family site). It's too hard to police every link, so we have a policy against them.

    Personally, wrestling bores me.

    It's not really an "I am sad" moment, but ever had one of those moments where you thought about being childish, only to realize you're too old for it and wish you had done it when you WERE still a child?

    I get they can't policy every link but it was a link to youtube. Assuming there was a virus there is...eh, it's not worth arguing it. I'll just drop it.

    I'll just maintain my opinion that the mods are Cena fans.

    Samesies. I wouldn't recommend it all the time, of course, but on occasion, it's fun to just hang loose and let yourself be childish for a while. :)

    Next time you could just give basic instructions how to get to the video. Basicly telling them to youtube the video title and if it doesn't come up as first tell which video it is.

    So like:

    youtube Annoying Valentines Surprise and its the first video.


    As for the childish conversation:

    Nothing wrong with being 'childish' and just sorta relax and have fun with things. Its just important to realize when you need to be mature.

    I feel like I've been very complain-y and whiney lately about the same thing lately, so I'm sorry for that, feel free to skip this is you are tired of it :)


    I'm am so tired of being sick! It's been two weeks and while i think Im finally starting to get a little better I still feel like crap. I stayed home monday which helped, but I've still had to go to school for the rest of the week and that has not done me any favors. I'm so done with not really being able to eat or sleep properly and feeling exhausted and ****ty all the time :(

    I hope you both feel better soon. :(


    One of my coworkers and I received a talking to today because apparently we're super unprofessional and make other coworkers uncomfortable. We asked for examples of what we did in order to correct our "misbehavior" since neither of us had any idea what the hell we did, and our dumb*ss ASM couldn't give us a specific example.

    I know who it is who complained, and I know it wasn't because of anything 'inappropriate' that we did. They complained because they're butthurt that I'm friends with this coworker but not friends with them...I wasn't aware that working with someone means you have to be BFFs with them. Seems a little ridiculous for me to get in trouble because I don't want to hang out with a 60-something year old man with whom I have nothing in common.

    Gah, so yeah a bit late due to the date of V-day but it's been playing on my damned mind.

    So my boyfriend and I decide that because it's our first year in March, followed by his birthday soon after we'd save our money and just buy cards. So, because technically we're not getting each other much, I buy a stunning card and devote my time to write two paragraphs on how much he means to me. (Call me cheesy) Well, on the 'big' day we exchange cards and to my horror, his was filled with the usual 'Forever and always, I will love you' but it's all horribly written and slanted and just all over the place! He tells me (after much nagging from myself) that he bought the card on the way to my house and then wrote it in the car whilst getting a lift.

    Now call me picky, but isn't that just slightly -just a teeny bit- selfish? I mean, it was was our first valentines and he couldn't even be bothered to write nice in the card, or buy it before the day.

    I know it could have been a lot worse and I could have ended up with no card at all but it seems like he doesn't -get- me sometimes even though he's known me for four years and been with me for one; he still doesn't know what I like.

    Honey Badger -- Ew what a loser. I bet he secretly has a 60-year-old man crush on you. (You're what, in the 20-30 range?)

    If you have examples of how *he* is a clingy annoying loser who stirs up work drama because you aren't his friend, document it. Tell your boss about him. I mean, normally I hate snitches but his behavior is obviously causing workplace problems if he does stuff like that.

    Kelsey - That's kind of annoying - just how guys can be, though. I'm sure he cares about you and that's what counts. (Sorry for the cheese there). By the way, my bf and I are at one year in March, too.

    Late March sometime. ;)

    I know what you mean. Like sometimes you'd appreciate more effort on the other person's part.

    Aww! I'd be upset too, but as lame as it is, sometimes dudes just don't think about stuff like that as much as we do. Not trying to generalize, but I know with me and Joel, to him certain things just don't stand out as much.

    Even with that in mind, though, I feel for you. That kind of thing is a big letdown, for sure. :(

    Yeah, I'm 25. I don't know if he's got a gross crush on me or if he just wants people to listen to every stupid thing that comes out of his mouth (he talks all the time. Non-friggin-stop.), but what really pisses me off about it is that I'm not mean to him, I don't blow him off ever...today alone, I had to stop everything I was doing to listen to his longwinded, pointless stories about sh*t I don't care about because I don't want to be rude or hurt his feelings...so it's like I'm sorry, what exactly are you complaining about? I've tried bringing stuff up about him to upper management before, but my company is really stupid about disciplinary stuff. I don't understand how it works like this, but I've seen handfuls of great employees get fired for obvious bull, yet anytime someone legitimately deserves to be in trouble, they find some reason that they can't legally do it...ugh. So sick of it.

    I think the most BS part of it, though, was later. There were four of us talking, including the ASM and my coworker who got in trouble with me. The fourth person said something about holding an item for someone for a couple months, and fellow in trouble coworker replied "yeah, and when he finally put it down, his arms were really tired." I started laughing, but apparently our ASM didn't understand the joke, because he started getting all high and mighty and saying "see, it's this kind of stuff that people get upset about, because you guys have all these inside jokes, and everyone else is left out."

    So...a joke goes over your head, and suddenly it's an inside joke and we're doing something wrong? I swear to god, it's like being back in junior high...

    Stop being so damn nice, and give him an obvious cold shoulder. He an adult, he well past middle age ffs, he should be dealing with rejection if he is bothering you in the workplace.

    Aw, you should feel super happy about it. Would it help if I found you a honey badger to kiss? ;)

    See...that's what I would like to do. But with all the BS yesterday, I can't help but wonder what he would do if I did that. Our ASM was making comments about bringing our district human resources rep into it, which kind of freaked me out...it seems insane to me that someone could potentially get in that much trouble and have no idea what they did wrong.

    Ah well. No use complaining about it. I was planning on either stepping down from my position or just quitting when I start school again in the fall, so maybe if this keeps up, I'll just do it a bit sooner. No skin off my nose, I've got derby and volunteering at the library to keep me plenty busy.

    Thanks, guys, for your sympathy and advise. It means a lot. :)
