What are you thinking? (Part 2)

So my boss's executive assistant was fired for sexually harassing an intern and he is still pretending like he works here because he doesn't want his fiancee to know he's been let go (even going so far as to head to Parliament everyday in a suit - checking in as a visitor though as he lost his security pass after being fired). I so want to give his fiancee the heads up, because I'd want to know if I was about to marry someone as ****ty as he is and I'd hope someone would do that for me, but I don't know her well and I know its super not my place to say anything. I'm so torn.

Any way you can give her the heads up indirectly? Like through social media or something?

I know I'd want to know if my fiancé was lying to me about important things like his employment, or sexually harassing an intern.

Spoiler

Neither of which are okay or traits of someone who is husband material.

I know I'd want to know if my finance was lying to me about important things

^ :lol: mjk

and another day of sandstorm

If I take your sandstorm, will you take my snowstorm?

But I have to think about it first. .... On second thought, maybe I'll rather have my snowstorm haha.
Snow is soft and melts. Sand doesn't do that, and I wonder what it will do to car paint and other things that are supposed to look nice.

That's a tough one. His fiancee should know, but perhaps the best place to get advice is from others at your workplace. They are so much closer and in a better position to judge what's more right to do. Sure it does seem right to notify her, but I'm too far on the outside to be sure about it. I also don't know if you risk any trouble with your work for doing that, also bastards are protected by laws and rules. If I worked there and saw what you did, I would ask you for advice. :wink:

How the hell did all these spammers end up on this site, of all forums?

But on a serious note, Spyro remasters just got announced! YAY! Spider-Man, Spyro, Shadow of the Tomb Raider and Dragon Quest IX, man September is gonna be a loaded month for gaming.

So I just want to go on record beforehand to say that shaming anyone for any reason is wrong. You are no one's judge, jury or executioner and someone else's decisions, lapses in judgement, health or lack thereof are no one's business but their own.

With that said: I find it immensely hilarious that people post their entire lives on social media, every uninteresting minute detail of every single day, including pictures of everything from what they're eating right down to their "beach body" coupled with captions fishing for compliments that scream look at me! And then they have the absolute nerve to get offended when they realize that not everyone buys into the social network etiquette of telling people they look amazing when that's not what they honestly think, don't believe in pulling punches or are simply just assholes.

Vanity and the compulsive need to be liked by everyone or to have your own personal happiness depend on the opinions of others, people you more than likely don't even know, comes at a price.

Haaah I always had to fight that urge at my last job... My favorite one was this chef who was the married, 36 years old and a father of 3 that was sleeping around with a 19 year old pothead hostess... Very torn.

That's social media for you... I've just about cut Facebook out completely (really only keep my FB to stay in touch with a few people on there). Instagram I still use pretty frequently when I want to feel artsy fartsy with pics that I take but otherwise even my own friends get on my nerves with their pettiness on there.

So I just read a story about a highschool girl who is upset because she went to school without a bra on, guys were making comments about her nipples and the female principal pulled her out of class, gave her an undershirt to put on and when that still didn't solve the issue, told her to put Band-Aids on them to cover them up.

Now my question is: What the hell were your parents thinking when they let you out of the house without a bra on?

The girl even admitted that she's larger in the bust than most girls at her school and I just want to know what she was even thinking about. As a larger-busted woman myself, I've never gone out in public without a bra and don't ever plan to. It's uncomfortable, you're just asking to be the center of attention, because people will look, and personally I find it indecent.

I mean I know that we as a society can't necessarily regulate other people's undergarments but have some class about yourself. No one wants to see your nipples and I'm of the mind that it doesn't matter how big or small you are, if they make it in your size, you need need to be wearing it.

Women nowadays with this #metoo **** and what not are so focused on not getting unwanted attention or to be hit on by someone they're not interested in and not being sexualized and harassed and then they go out dressed in ways that BEG for attention and ASK for sexualization. I'm not saying you can't be attractive or dressed in a sexy way and am by no means victim shaming but when your appearance gives off a certain vibe, how offended can you really be with how you're seen by others?

My daughter has a cold. She's still a baby, so she doesn't understand what is happening to her and it's heartbreaking to see her so upset.

I feel so sad for the Humboldt Broncos and their families. I can't even watch any of the coverage anymore, get too choked up. Hits a bit close to home - I played hockey in middle & high school, my dad played it for many years, I have a few cousins who play in minor leagues - we all spent a lot of time on buses and in really poor Canadian winter conditions to boot and this could have honestly happened at any time for any reason. So many young people taken way too soon. It's such a terrible thing and there really are no words. RIP to all those beautiful, beautiful boys.

Edit: I hope your daughter gets better soon, Lithium!

 

[Venomous Oddball]

I just hyperventilated and cried in front of John O'Callaghan from The Maine. And the first thing I said to Pat Kirch? "I like your hair." At least he smiled.

lol, a good description of Facebook. Thankfully, I quitted that **** place years ago.

While human happiness does have a collective aspect to it, we indeed have the power to let ourselves be defined or not be defined by those who look down on us. That's what the beauty of series like Mobile Suit Gundam & so on have taught me.

CT: When will the world finally learn and accept that introversion is not the same thing as shyness, let alone social phobia? I'm not afraid of people, I just don't appreciate their company most of the time, and that even extends to friends and family if I've been around them for too long. Eventually I need to be alone for a while.

Yes, I am shy in some situations, for example, I'd rather submit myself to the torture of rewatching all three Lord of the Rings movies at full length, than ask a guy out. I'm just not good at that romance stuff, and merely thinking about it makes me uncomfortable. But that doesn't make me a shy person in general, I just need more space than most. Got it?

CT: I wish I didn't overthink and make mountains out of molehills. Before I know it's spiralled out of control and I've made myself panic over a small situation...

I think it's a woman-thing. Like it's embedded in our genetic makeup as women to overthink and over analyze.

At least that's what my man tells me.
