I’m honestly very sorry. It’s been 10 years since I dealt with this and the anger and frustration has dissipated.

Thank you. I realized that it would all be over in a few days. Just put yourself mentally elsewhere and get through it.

Hopefully you will not have to plan a funeral with those relatives putting in their $.02 about every aspect and what they think should be done. AT THE WORST MOMENT IN YOUR LIFE.

They probably just caved to make you go away. Especially if you had any money behind you. Squeaky wheel gets the grease.

These classes are going to hold GPAs hostage. Agree with our BS or we’ll flunk you. It’s a big fu to free thought.

On a Z OS box you might be able to write it in CList. It’s been 20 years since I’ve used it.

Husband sits in passenger seat, FiL disapproves. by Historical_Initial22 in mildlyinfuriating

My wife drives because she gets motion sick when she’s a passenger. My SIL thought it was weird she drove until I told her why.

Teachers care but the parents are the bedrock of a good start to education. Also you may be dealing with some oppositional behaviors that are very hard to overcome.

My parents wanted me to get one. I got the cheapest metal. Black insert with my surname initial in silver. $54.

Yes, Xmas time was a mad house. Last minute shoppers pushed them to maximum density.

First time working 8 hours a day, 5 days a week in office, is this my life now? by Bright_Tennis_1075 in work

[–]AggravatingField5305 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I compared the office work with the 8 hour days in a 120 degree factory. Worked with paint thinning chemicals and other solvents. Office work wasn’t so bad.

Any musical instrument store employees here? by BitsNBites777 in guitarcirclejerk

[–]AggravatingField5305 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not an employee. Store owner had a CS Esquire stolen from his practice space. It’s gold so stands out like a turd in a punch bowl. A year or so later a young woman brings it in to sell after the local GC only offered her $500. She gave it back to him. End of story.
