I am good at my job but I don't enjoy it. I think mostly because I have long passed the point of knowing my job so it is crazy boring. I have asked my bosses to allow change up in job responsibilities but they refuse to do so. They have this idea that employees don't need to be happy. I suppose...

I am an extroverted introvert. Though introverted I work as a spokesperson and actually own the room when I am in charge. I can talk when I have to very well but I would prefer not to do it in the first place. When I was an intern my boss wanted me to give a speech to a chamber of commerce. I...

It is grossly rude behavior to come looking for support every time you need some and never contribute back to support others.

People can be crazy selfish these days. On another message board I am on, this girl just shows up about 1x per year with all her problems for us to support her on. What depresses me is that the entire board runs over to help her, because she is a new shiny person for them to talk to. It...

I have tried to give up the net but it is very hard to do. A ton of my work is totally dependent on the internet. Though I can't do certain things at work on the net I can check news sites etc and I can't tell if that stuff sucks up my day at work OR I would just find another way to suck up the...

I am very sorry to hear it. My mom died of stomach cancer which had spread to the esophagus. It was 8 weeks of hell and I had to work and absolutely no one cut me the slightest break at all. If there is anyway to take time off I would look into it. Also I might let a few people know at work...

Yeh, it is called work.. I know most people here don't actually do that... but some of us have commitments. Anyway... never mind.. this forum claims non-judgmental support and comradeship but really is just a bunch of judgmental people waiting to pounce to make themselves feel better. I...

So let me clarify.. this is what happens when I drop a thread quickly before work. I do like Sara. I think she is great. I guess I don't like the idea that she could be friends with and, seem to prefer, someone who I find to be such a horrific person. I suspect, that each of us show the sides...

So I have two pretty decent friends. However, like all friends, they have other friends. The problem... I often feel like I am not their #1 friend... and sometimes I get pretty sick of it. Friend #1 Sara: Sara used to work with me. Now she only works in the same building. She is friends with...

I enjoy "rug hooking" (making rugs). I used to use premade kits but I discovered that you can make your own patterns and order yarn for it. You can use the rugs for rugs or... wall decorations or sell it (ebay / flea market)

I don't know... this is why I gave up the dating sites. I would say though I think it has to do with people not really being able to accurately evaluate themselves and or what they are actually looking for. Myself included. Of course don't give up based on one date but I found often when I went...

How did it go? The first rule of fight club is that we don't talk about fight club... wait, how do I tell you the rules of fight club without talking about it... oh never mind!!

So I just moved into a condo and there was an opening on the board of trustees and I put my name in and got elected ( I am the only one that applied). So I anticipate getting to meet all of my neighbors that way. However, oh noooo, immediately one of the trustee's came over and went on for two...

28, close to the line.

The first time I was ever laid off I was so excited. I was on unemployment so I had 32 weeks to find another job. I was going to use them all... HA-- by week three I was almost insane with being bored. All my friends were working and I didn't want to spend money since I was laid off... so, it...
