Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.
that's why i asked what phone he had, iphones don't have the awesome ability that non iphones do to upgrade memory size
The new Galaxy S6 does not have the removable battery and SD card. #nomoreadditionalmemory
yea i think i remember hearing that, a girl at work was looking at getting a new one. i know my sister got one but i haven't seen it yet #galaxys5forever
My chorus is singing at the Southern Women's Show next Sunday. We've been trying to get this performance for years. The lady in our chorus who secured the performance told me today that we will have a table where we can sell cd's. I asked some basic questions: What time can we set up? When should we clear out? How big is the table?
She Went. Off. on me about how she didn't see why it was important to know the table dimensions and all of that and said "can't we just toss some cds on the table and replenish as needed?"
This is the FIRST TIME we've gotten in on this. We're an All WOMEN'S chorus going to a WOMEN'S show. This is great publicity if we present ourselves right. Am I completely out of line wanting to get a FEW more details so I can actually find someone to sell our damn cd's and maybe look, I don't know, semi-professional?

Ugh.
She probably just wasn't expecting followup questions and got annoyed by having to actually think or do work or something. You're not out of line for wanting this. Maybe she was annoyed at other junk already and just felt like being lazy. Either way congrats on getting the show! Should be a great time!

She also might be feeling a little overwhelmed. If she's the one who secured it and is doing a lot of the groundwork, she could be at her limit.
Maybe follow up with her and let her know you just want to help lighten her load.

Youth sports are great. The boys are really enjoying them. I do not enjoy the parents sometimes. One of my younger son's teammates took a soccer ball full speed short range right in the chest. She immediately started crying. The ref and coach stop the game to check on her. Her dad yells "you're alright." from the sidelines then expresses his disappointment in her crying to his wife. What the fuck? She's seven. Let her cry if she's hurt.

I hate parents like that. I'm so glad I don't have to mingle with the Boy Scout parents too much.

In high school on a varsity team I think it's fine to yell at your son for doing something like that RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE of a game. For kids that's just insane. That shit doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things. Just let them have fun.

This is why I've told everyone I know to slap my stupid face when I get the wild and crazy idea to coach at my old softball league. I miss softball and basketball so much but I don't miss the politics of the parents.

The boss undermined/chewed me out in front of a client; when I was actually in the right and he wound up doing things the way I was originally having them go to begin with. After we left I asked "can you not undermine me in front of a client? It makes them think I don't know what I am doing and makes it harder to do my job." His response "don't tell me how I can and can't talk to people!" Then he started flipping out bringing up all of these very minor errors I have made in the past.. It was ridiculous. Finally he said just go home; he meant for the day but I am not showing up there on Monday.
Spending the day applying to other jobs. I am a registered uber driver so I can do that until I find something reliable. Might have to sell off some concert tickets and maybe even Bonnaroo.. Shitty timing for this to go down, but I think it's worth it for my long term sanity.

That blows hard. Do what you gotta do and what you think is best for you obviously, but be careful you don't put yourself in a difficult situation if you don't have another job lined up. Idk how lucrative Uber is, but trying to sip water when the well runs dry is an awful experience, and quite possibly worse than what you're dealing with now with your boss.

I hear ya. Thanks for the advice. I have never tried Uber driving full time. But they always send me messages like "earn $70-$100 a day," might be BS and the strain its going to put on my car might outweigh the salary. But its just a stop gap. Thanks.

This isn't so much of a grr as it is I'm just worried.
My boyfriend's oldest brother is currently in Kathmandu, Nepal. And if you haven't heard, they got hit with a 7+ magnitude earthquake. He called their younger brother this morning and said he's ok and safe but no one has heard from him since. My boyfriend is looking into what agencies he should contact should the non-communication last for any worrying length of time. When he called this morning he said the earthquake wiped out most of their infrastructure. So we're not in panic mode yet, just worried. We're just hoping he somehow makes it back to Thailand safely.

That is worrying! It's amazing that he got in touch with someone though. I hope he's able to get back in touch again soon.

Not sure it helps but a friend of mine just got some messages on facebook saying that people he knows had checked in as "safe" or something like that. He said he thought it was spam until he realized that it was an emergency alert kind of thing.
1.Hubby has a case manager on the Army side that we have never heard of who is responsible for making all final decisions regarding his care.
2. After 8 WEEKS, there is finally a conference call set up for Tuesday to discuss his care plan.
3. His rehab nurse thinks his memory will "greatly improve" after he receives his hearing devices (he's currently using a headset microphone thing. He responds quicker but doesn't remember the conversations)
4. The mental health team must be on board with any inpatient treatments, and are also (in case we were wondering) the ones to initiate a medical evaluation board. "What are your long term goals since you are unable to perform your job now?"

I am so fucking frustrated right now.
Getting the run around is ridiculous. I'm sorry that this is happening. Keep on them and fighting for your hubs!!! I'm thinking of you guys
Considering you've found the need to respond to my threads as if you are threatened by me I offer you some peace my confused counterpart. May you find peace in your restless soul.
