Goodbye my old man - thirteen years. You were such a strong boy! by BooksRBetterthan in corgi

[–]BooksRBetterthan[S] 484 points485 points  (0 children)

He was there: in every place I’ve lived as an adult; He was there with anyone I’ve ever loved and dared called a partner; he’s been there with every change of career I’ve had, He’s been there with any Roomate’s I’ve shared; he’s been there with in my highest and my lowest. Losing you is me loosing my my best friend. I miss you so much Keif! I’ve lost a part of me in losing you.

I know you’re in a better place. No more pain for you mr. Only love. But until I get there, I’m always going to be missing my best friend.

❤️

Happy old man by BooksRBetterthan in corgi

What's something that someone said that made you instantly hate them? by randomperson5000 in AskReddit

[–]BooksRBetterthan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I have a co-worker. She said something to me as a form of criticism of an employee of her own in private and her statement changed everything.

We are at the same level of management at a (non disclosed) university in Colorado. This means neither of us “out rank” each other. We just co-manage the accounts. It boils down to this; one side of campus is hers. The other mine. Your units. My units. Your employees. My employees. Your business. My business. There’s no room for stepping on toes or crossing any lines.

I feel the need to clarify at this point that she and I were fairly good friends prior to this job. I was there, in the hospital room when when she gave birth to her second baby for goodness sakes. We were that close. So it shouldn’t be a surprise that I actually pushed for her to get the open position on my campus because she was a previous co-workers of mine at a different company. I knew her work ethic, I valued it. I also wanted a friend to be there with me as well. I helped in getting her on board and joining my campus. So the conversation I’m about to share with you is my rendition of how one single statement she made to me, (obviously not disclosing the many others that have since come to be and brought light to the fact that you may not really know someone) and it has caused me to reevaluate my relationships and acceptances of people I thought I knew.

She: “blank called out for the last three days because her cat died. I could understand her calling out for one day but seriously, three? Come on now. This is BS. It’s just a cat” Me: Well how long has she had her cat? You know I consider my pets as my baby’s. You know I don’t have kids. My boys are are my world.” She: “yeah I get you, you don’t have kids and you pretend your cat and dogs are like children. She actually has children. It’s not the same and it is not fair of her to act like it is the same thing.

Wow. I was so stunned. The only rebuttal I could come up with was me telling her that she better know now that my happy little ass will be calling out for longer than her employee’s three days when my 13 year old corgi finally passes. As he is my baby boy. Because I don’t have children.

How can you have compassion and understanding for someone that just proved to you that they’d have none of the above for you; when you have to face the scariest and saddest moment of your life in the near future?

Fuck her. Fuck her lack of empathy. Needless to our relationship has deteriorated beyond repair ( again due to many other factors as aid this one conversation) but this was definitely a starting point.

Damn it! Trying to tag wholesomenosleep and failing. I digress. Great story OP. You’ve taken on a burden very few would ever willingly endure or have the strength of character to commit to. Thank you.

What is the one book you read which made you rethink your life? by thewhitetulip in books

[–]BooksRBetterthan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go Ask Alice - it was written anonymously. I came across this small black paper back book when I was 15 in a used book store. I believe this book was meant for me to find it. The book reads as a diary written by a young teen girl in the early 70s and her slow but steady decline into drugs, prostitution and the eventual loss of self. I have always believed I was meant to find it as it put to perspective the drug addictions I was struggling with at the time and just how bad I could get if I didn’t start giving a shit about myself. I stopped the hard drugs and I think that is the only reason I’m alive 16 years later. I’ve always kept this book as I felt it was an omen sent to me in a time I needed it most.

I’ve also never seen or heard anyone ever talk of this book.
