Generations Posted January 21, 2019 Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 Gen, where in Jersey are you? Every time these storms come in Jersey and Boston get mudhole stomped compared to us. How you end up with slush? Climate change. I live in the highlands, and we usually get a shitload of snow. I mean...I live on a literal mountain. We have always been hit with a foot of snow when these situations happened in the past. But, we have just been wet this year. Unseasonably warm for the majority of the winter, and now it's single-digit cold tonight. it hasn't snowed down here much, and I live few miles south of Gen. How do you know where I live? You can't take the day off? I could, but no. I don't operate that way. Link to comment

WNX Posted January 21, 2019 Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 Man if I took a day off every time it rained and snap froze... I gotta stay the hell out of this topic though. I was trying to finish work around 11p and certain circumstances led me to pick up an employee who couldn't get her car all the way up our hill and I've gotten the heads up that she was super frustrated and upset bawling her eyes out and what not. Her anxiety was through the roof on top of a preexisting respiratory issue and then a recent respiratory infection which I was almost certain was bronchial but the doctors from what I can tell believe her lungs were fine. In any case she never made it into the building, I took her to the ER because she wouldn't calm down>she couldn't breathe>her chest hurt trying and her saying "I'm scared" in regards to the pain was a huge red flag. Despite her urging to go to work because she called out the day before, I convinced her to go get checked (even though she ignored urges from her fiance and close friends over the ladt few days) and then had to convince her,to stay when the doctors wanted to,watch,her,overnight. Apparently something similar happened in April and she ended up in there 5 days and she doesn't want that again but I told her as much as she wants to help, she's no good to anybody in that state so she stayed. I went back to work to wrap up and got home just in time for my girl to take the car. Didn't get home til 5a... And then got to shovel more of the lovely snow I would've had cleaned up if my girl didn't rush me to work to begin with >_< and then get to get up and clean off the car I would've if I didnt get rush off to work so I can take HER mom to YET ANOTHER HOSPITAL Go away 2019, please Link to comment
Bdon Posted January 21, 2019 Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 Aww sheeit you're getting rid of your baby? That sucks. Did you buy into that store or did you build it from the ground? Yeah unfortunately. Just the best way to pay off things. And yeah I bought it existing. Sucks but it is what it is I guess. Just hope things work out well with everything. Link to comment
Creepy Bro Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 Went to bed last night... snowing. Woke up this morning... snowing. I'm willing to bet it's still snowing when I get home from work. Link to comment
Aqfitz Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 One of my friends brother took his life a few days ago. Some prick on facebook is saying he deserved it and that his parents failed and saying they didn't punish him enough. Real piece of shit. Link to comment
AlterNation Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 (edited) I went to see Dragon Ball Super Broly in Japanese with subtitles but the screening I went to showed it in English with no notice. I am pissed off about it. That's not the version I paid to watch tonight. Plus, the two idiots I sat next to would not shut the *Censored* up. They talked throughout the whole *censored*ing film.

Counting Lights Posted January 27, 2019 Report Share Posted January 27, 2019 The dog we're dogsitting ate my ear plugs, and my house acoustics suck, so I lost my last two hours of sleep this morning to my mom playing music and skyping people downstairs. My dad's always chill about skyping people in the basement in the morning because he knows I work late/sleep late (and our basement is completely furbished and whatever so it's not like it's a downgrade), but my mom refuses to budge on anything that, in her mind, is us throwing our weight around. Now I've got that mildly tired headache going on for probably the rest of the day, and I gotta get through an entire script for a last second meeting tomorrow, not to mention watching TakeOver (which I missed last night) and the Rumble. I really do hate that woman sometimes... Link to comment

MikeM Posted January 29, 2019 Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 Had an MRI scan on my ankle today. Wasn't brutal, but my ankle was stiff afterwards. Also think I'm getting another cold. Link to comment

Creepy Bro Posted January 30, 2019 Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 (edited) Indeed, a ring that I wear on a finger. Why was it loose? Weight loss, I suppose. Today's B.S. going on right now? It's currently -22 F outside right now. Thank Jeebus work has been cancelled for the day, possibly tomorrow as well if it the cold continues. Edited January 30, 2019 by NegativeCreep Link to comment
MikeM Posted February 1, 2019 Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 My Samsung S6 died on Monday, all it shows is "Samsung S6" - it doesn't turn off either. I ran the battery down, and then plugged it in, but still the same old screen. I've tried every combination of button holding and pressing - but nothing. You don't realize how much you need a smartphone, until yours is out of action. Link to comment
Guest Fight Me. Posted February 1, 2019 Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 (edited) Pretty sure I'm getting fired. Got left a voicemail and email to call them back. Thought I was in the clear since most seasonal people got let go a month ago. My buddy called back and said they're letting even more people go. Not really surprised considering how slow it's been after the holidays. I don't really wanna call back, but I also don't wanna show up on Monday and probably get fired in person. Don't know what to do lol Edited February 1, 2019 by Fight Me. Link to comment

Don't know what to do lol My advice would be to at least go - because if they do let you go, then if you're on good terms with them it enhances your chance of them giving a favourable reference. Plus generally I find it's not worth the aggravation to go to war with them. Link to comment

Guest Fight Me. Posted February 2, 2019 Report Share Posted February 2, 2019 (edited) Yeah, it's looks like I'm going to have to go on Monday. I got anxious and actually called yesterday and today between the times they said to, but they've yet to pick up. I guess if they're in such a hurry to get rid of me, they would've called again by now? Idk. If I end up staying, I'm looking at spending about $15 a day on Uber to get there with my friend gone now. That'll be half my paycheck every week. I don't think I win either way this ends up going. Edited February 2, 2019 by Fight Me. Link to comment
M3J Posted February 2, 2019 Report Share Posted February 2, 2019 Dunno where you work, but I'd say talk to them. In the meanwhile, you can always try Adecco and see if they'll help you find a job. They've done good for me. Despite what the others say though, I don't think it'll be that hard for them to let you go, businesses usually don't give a shit unless you're close to whoever's gonna let you go. Link to comment
adamthyst Posted February 3, 2019 Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 (edited) Alright so, I've been dealing with my own issues and depression for about 3-ish years now. All of these are feelings of loneliness, self-image issues, and just not believing in myself in anything, even sometimes the things that I love. Most of this stems off of a toxic relationship I had at the same time I started feeling that way. To sum it all up, I stayed in it because I wanted to make it work and because it was my first relationship, but the girl and I were way too incompatible and I just didn't feel a sort of connection to her. She was the one who took my virginity, etc. but that's not really what got me, I felt used for sex cause that's literally all we did. I never really felt happy with this person, and when I got out of it I was happy, but I was so upset. I started having depressive thoughts later, and didn't believe I could actually be with anyone else or that I'd never get in a relationship where I actually felt a deep connection to someone. Like, hooking up is fine, but I still felt that way. I hooked up with another person about a few months after all of that shit ended, and after I got ghosted, I took a spiral down and my feelings of loneliness increased. So 3 years later, I go to MAGFest and meet up with a friend of mine cause she wanted me to buy her alcohol at the time since she wasn't 21 at the time. I do that, meet up with her and I meet a ton of her friends in her hotel room. There was one in particular that I found real cute and stuff, but I was like "Nah dude, you couldn't get with that" to myself. So I'm trying to get to know people (cause I want con friends, etc.) and I noticed my homegirl got pulled aside by the one girl I'm talking about. We're all having small talk, etc. and that person starts blatantly hitting on me and I'm like "Woah " but since I'm shy as hell, I don't really do anything with it. We leave to go party and etc. so while we're waiting and stuff in a hallway, my homegirl pulls me aside and was like "Dude, she's been eyeballing you and shit all day, go talk to her." Let's just say I was too shy to do that and I can only talk to girls while I'm kinda drunk. I tell myself that I'll try again tomorrow, etc. repeatedly but I could never find that girl or only ran into her a few times after that. So I'm like... "Shit I should've shot my shot" and just shake my head at myself. So the con ends and a day or 2 after it, I'm about to get off work and I had a few missed calls and texts from my homegirl. I look at them and she's like "Where the *Censored* are you? This girl is dead ass about to be in town cause she's visiting me, you better come shoot your shot" and I'm like nervous and not prepared. So I respond that I'll go with her, and she basically wingwomans for me to the girl, and it was almost like a double date at dinner cause my homegirl brought her BF with her. So myself and the girl go to the car so she can get some bags and stuff and she was like "Well I wish I got to talk to you at MAG because I think you're really cute and wanna get to know you" and shit. So I got her number and on the way home she starts texting me and shit, asking if I wanted to smash. I said yeah so they drive us to my house and I turned on some anime and we smashed. Also, originally, she was supposed to only stay for a day, but while we were texting in the car I was being playful and said like "Well if you stayed I'd make you dinner" and all that stuff, but she agreed to purposely miss her bus home to stay a little more with me. So that happens, and things are happening SO fast. Like, feelings and emotions wise. She actually treated me so much better than my ex the couple of days we'd been hanging out and having sex, letting out both of our vulnerable sides and etc. Come time for her to leave, I ask her out and we date briefly. She comes back after leaving and she isn't really letting me get closer to her, etc. and I'm not sure why. So we broke it off early (she asked) because she said that she had so much shit going on in her life that she isn't ready for a relationship right now. We both also agreed we took things way too fast but still wanted to be friends. We're still friends, but I learn more about all the shit going on in her life and her baggage: sexual assault trauma and a lot of other mental health issues. She still visits sometimes and we talk, but man... I actually have legit feelings for the girl and I'm like... I know that she has to help herself get past her trauma and etc, and I told her I'd be there for her when she needed it. But man... everything feels like it was terrible timing. I know I shouldn't have asked her out after a few days, but my emotions were pretty high and so were her's, and I acted on them. I learned a lesson there, but I still can't help but feel alone and still wanting to be there with her.. I don't wanna sit here and wait for her, cause I'm just not gonna let these feelings and my loneliness eat away at me. I think there's room for stuff to happen in the future, but I'm just... not really sure what I need to do at this point. We're friends, yeah, but I still have these feelings and I don't wanna get too attached to her, etc. There's just so much shit going on in my head right now that I need to help get myself together and still remain close to the girl...

WNX Posted February 3, 2019 Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 That's alot to take in. I've been told countless times to take care of me first. I believe that what you have to do. If the feeling of loniness for you simply comes down to "I wanna wait for her but..." and you can knock the feeling by just living your life, dating or whatever it is that you do, do it. Don't ignore your feelings for her but don't wait for her either. That isn't fair to you. There's nothing wrong with being hopeful but, if you're meant to be, it'll happen. If not, maybe you'll run into somebody who makes you v feel the same or better. Just be the best friend to her that you can and wherever life takes you, roll with it Link to comment
