Joimiaroxeu July 8, 2018 Share July 8, 2018 I think if workplace has a boss who's okay with people stealing each other's food, if they're then also okay with people poisoning each other then IMO that is a place no one should have to work unless they're a sociopath. That would literally be a toxic workplace. Whatever, I've seen too many instances where people have tried to retaliate against bullies in potentially (or straight up) dangerous ways and they ended up getting in hot water themselves, especially if as a result their targets got hospitalized or worse. I don't think there's any moral equivalence between stealing a coworker's food and deliberately putting someone's health/life at risk. I get the personal satisfaction of striking back at bullies but I don't see putting oneself in potential legal peril to do it unless there is 100% no chance of it blowing back on you. 3 Link to comment

Cupid Stunt July 9, 2018 Share July 9, 2018 On 7/8/2018 at 7:58 AM, Petunia13 said: I work at a start up I told one of the owners because she came in my office to blab about the excel shit. She didn't really care she was like "well we all share here and you can eat from the office food or my food.." What an ass … She'll say anything to deflect personal responsibility for owning and operating a snakepit. At my first job out of college, the receptionist warned me that the lunchroom refrigerator was named Open Season. I bought a 2nd hand hardbody lunch cooler and installed a hasp for a padlock (if you're uncertain of the purchase and install, take the cooler to a hardware store and explain your predicament, and they will be able to assist you, they might help you put it together), and a motion alarm. Once enabled, if the cooler was tapped, the alarm went off like a air-raid siren -- Good times. Lock and alarm your lunch in your work area, then take the owner at her word -- Steal any new lunch that takes your fancy. It's not necessary that you eat it, just make the lunch unavailable when it's wanted; You can toss the stolen lunch out off-site … Or if you really want to dive them around the bend, return it after the lunch owner goes out to find nourishment or put it back in the refrigerator the next day. Nab lunches once or twice a week or go on a spree and leave an empty, dirty refrigerator behind; fuck with these people the same spirit they fuck with you, If you are accused, tell the accuser the owner said all the food in the refrigerator is free to be taken by anyone at anytime, and you've joined in on that Free Range Philosophy -- Don't forget to smile while you stick the knife in. If you don't have a secure office and desk lock, install one or carry everything personal in and out of the office every time you leave the office. Nail whoever comments to the wall when asked about carrying luggage in and out of the office: "Someone is a thief, and I'm not donating any more of my personal property to their life of petty crime." Quote I'm vegan and try to eat organic that is the point in my buying or bringing a lunch. I know it was deliberate because of my "weird" (to them) food. Also I looked through the garbages and the packaging wasn't in them. They tried to hide it by ripping up or putting in purse. I don't care how "weird" your diet might appear to others, there's no excuse for the owner to treat your stolen lunch as a regular day in the workplace. There's no excuse for your phone charger or tea to be stolen, or your stapler taken, or be preyed upon in a war-zone that's supposed to be a place of business. Quote I think if it's my own meal I can't be punished if I did put laxitive in it and it is stolen and eaten. It's my property and maybe I am constipated. I wouldn't, but that I don't think would be wrong. If someone brings a bottle of ibuprofen in and I snagged a few from their bottle without asking and a different med like amoxicillin was mixed in, I would have an allergic reaction and it would be my own fault. It's about respect I mentioned my phone charger was taken and never returned and I also brought in a herbal tea sampler in my office and someone took all lemon zinger. I don't like that flavor best but it's like, seriously? ?I just really dislike this place I'm going to work this afternoon and will be the only one in the entire company (I can see who is logged on Skype and in crm see recent activity) and it's solely because of the intense guilt tripping and nagging directed at me. I'd rather be playing with George and doing some activism for Boknal. Don't put yourself in a position where you could be arrested for assault, and definitely don't touch a co-workers presumed bottle of Ibuprofen (you don't know what these people are involved with). Protect yourself and your property. Focus on doing your job. Keep careful notes and information on your sales calls, customers and treatment by your co-workers when you sue these assholes. Learn everything you can about your job every day. Double down on your job search efforts. Fuck these people and their vindictive behavior. They don't own you, unless if you buy into the idea they're correct to treat you disrespectfully. And that's a different problem. Everyone wants to be somewhere else, Petunia. That's why they call it work. 7 Link to comment

Cupid Stunt July 11, 2018 Share July 11, 2018 'Wendi Winters saved my life': Capital Gazette staff say their fallen colleague charged the shooter Quote When a man with a shotgun shattered the glass door of the Capital Gazette newspaper office and began to shoot, Wendi Winters stood up… Janel Cooley, a survivor of the shooting that killed Winters and four others, spoke about her experience for the first time in an interview with The Capital. She said she watched from under her desk as the 20-year newspaper veteran rose to meet her attacker. Winters charged forward holding a trash can and recycling bin, said Cooley, a sales consultant. Winters shouted something like, “No! You stop that!” or “You get out of here!” like she was warding off an unwanted dog. “She may have distracted him enough that he forgot about me because I definitely stood up and was looking at the door,” Cooley said. “I’m sure he wasn’t expecting … anyone to charge him.” Winters’ colleagues agree she saved their lives. Of the 11 employees in the office during the attack, six survived… Winters once gave fellow reporter Rachael Pacella the shirt off her back when Pacella spilled gasoline on her clothes before an important interview. She checked in on photojournalist Paul W. Gillespie incessantly after his brother died. Intern Anthony Messenger, who started at The Capital weeks before the attack, said Winters always tried to make him feel comfortable. From the details her family has of the attack, Winters’ son Phoenix Geimer said, “It sounds like her.”… Davis has a snapshot in his mind of everyone where they were when the gunman blasted in, he said. Winters was originally at her desk. Messenger said he remembers seeing Winters there with a puzzled look on her face as the attack began. As Pacella and Davis hid, they heard the same shots Cooley did. Then there was a pause. They thought it was over. The pause, Davis said, could have been Winters intervening. It gave Pacella time to get up from under her desk, run for the back door and then hide between filing cabinets. “I think that Wendi doing what she did served as enough of a distraction that maybe he didn’t see us,” Pacella said. “I absolutely think that Wendi Winters saved my life.” 10 Link to comment

I know you watched some of this shit too! ? Degrassi, Fifteen (a soap w v low budget and Ryan Reynolds), Criss Cross (a boring boarding school show), Ready or Not (2 Besties in a Judy Blume type serial drama), there was a teleporting teens one too you could tell cuz they'd say "sore-y", Breaker High (Ryan Gosling was my crush as scammer teen Sean and I shipped him and Tamara. Persia White was also on it she later starred on Girlfriends as Lynn a totally opposite character). Degrassi was my shit. I watched the reruns of the OG one w my sister ?everybody wants something, they never give up. Everybody wants something. They'll take your monayyy, and never give up.? -The Zit Remedy.

pearlite July 12, 2018 Share July 12, 2018 Mmm, re Canadian TV, you'll find me in the Dorothy Parker Piano Lounge, wondering if it's too early for a G & T. I never liked Canadian TV shows--they seemed frowsy and dull. As kids, we avoided all Canadian stuff in favour of whatever crap was on the three Buffalo stations--in my case, mainly to absorb the ads for stuff we couldn't get in Toronto: Buster Brown shoes [featuring the snarky-looking dog in the logo], Bosco chocolate syrup, and all the untold delights available at A M & A department store--that last one was a big delusion because my late father was an exec at Eatons, a much better store, and deeply missed by most Canadians. And I still avoid Canadian shows--don't get me started--and now, Jack Wagner in a Mountie dress scarlet! There was one exception, though, and I really enjoyed it: a Canadian/Hungarian coproduction, X Company https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4338336/ There. I said something nice about Canadian TV. 5 Link to comment

Cupid Stunt July 16, 2018 Share July 16, 2018 Mosquitos are carriers of the heartworm parasite, and I recently read a California Department of Agriculture notification about West Nile Virus prevention (also passed on by mosquito bites). Human and animal West Nile infections have been identified primarily in the southern/gulf coast states, with a couple on the Wisconsin/Michigan border this summer. Whatever has George down, a bug bite that causes a welt with a limp needs to be watched carefully in a small dog. If he's perked up and eating/drinking normally, that's a good sign. You know what to do if the bitten area and leg are still tender, and he's not back to his usual Georgie self by tomorrow. 3 hours ago, Petunia13 said: i wish dogs and cats could just talk to us and say "hey I have a migraine" "my leg hurts I had a charley horse."

My cat is a misanthrope, I'm the one of the few humans he tolerates; the less I hear of Melvin's disappointment in humankind the better. I have my own list of grievances -- Get in line, cat. Most people aren't trying to harm their pets or mistreat them; we misunderstand each other because we don't acknowledge the same signals and means of communication. Taking the time to observe behavior that is out of the norm is a good start. When we take on the responsibility of animal ownership, their well-being is a reflection of our commitment and devotion. 7 Link to comment
