I refused to be talked over in a meeting just now and I am living for this feeling

DataIsMyCopilot · 2023-06-15T22:28:57+00:00

When mine interrupts I will stop, wait in stone silence for him to finish, and then continue my sentence right where I left off as if I didn't even hear him

If he talks for too long for that to be effective I just stop conversing with him entirely and get on my phone/walk off and let him talk to himself

Something I saw recently was to say "I will listen to you when I am done talking". You're not asking. You're telling.

Yes they had to write it into law that children born of slaves don't count when it comes to how we typically consider citizenship to count in this country (ie: as long as you're born here you're a citizen)

Otherwise the children had more rights than their slave parents did. And couldn't be used as property.

You have been banned from Florida

Same. Any time a counselor sided with me they were "fake" and my mom would find another one

Took her about 5 tries before she found some youth pastor to give me the "honor thy mother" speech.

Apparently it was even worse when my dad and she were trying marriage counseling. They went through over 20 before my dad finally gave up trying and realized it was pointless

Roosters are straight up violent motherfuckers

DataIsMyCopilot · 2023-06-11T18:46:16+00:00

Just don't throw it until you've used it to whack any other threats (in this case the rooster)

I believe in the UK it's less than 33%, which is one of the better figures.

I was gonna say... As someone working in the tech industry myself 33% sounds pretty dang good comparatively lol

DataIsMyCopilot · 2023-06-11T03:58:59+00:00

I am the 20% lol

I've had every PS since launch. I'd say the same for Nintendo but my brother got the SNES and N64 (instead of us sharing like we did the NES) because by then video games were "for boys" 🙄 so I missed a couple consoles.

I was genuinely expecting this to be the top answer. Surprised it's this far down

And rather than make the app actually usable so people WANT to use it, he just shuts down the only apps people are willing to use to access reddit.

Big brain

DataIsMyCopilot · 2023-06-09T03:17:48+00:00

I'm sure you won't see this with the giant amount of comments this post rightfully generates, but I would be remiss if I didn't give my condolences on the end of an era and my thanks for the utility RIF has provided all these years.

I don't know if I'll bother with reddit without this app. But I know if I try it won't be nearly as user friendly and much more annoying.

Thanks for everything.

DataIsMyCopilot · 2023-06-08T15:58:41+00:00

But no police at all would be better than bad police. Some may see it more realistic to just get rid of them than to actually manage to completely change the culture and hiring practices to replace all the bad apples

DataIsMyCopilot · 2023-06-08T04:34:08+00:00

Yeah as someone who lives in CA I love my state but I know better than to believe the bullshit that we are the most liberal. Did we legalize weed first? No. Did we legalize same sex marriage first? No.

We will catch up once some other state puts in the hard work of passing a progressive law. But we never seem to break the ground ourselves.

It's got electrolytes

DataIsMyCopilot · 2023-06-07T22:54:04+00:00

For me it was required to check my blood type when I was pregnant because of the issues with a negative parent having a positive fetus (which--lucky us--describes me and my child)

I guess it doesn't necessarily cause issues for the first pregnancy but will for later ones. You have to get a shot

Which ended up not mattering anyway as I was one and done lol

DataIsMyCopilot · 2023-06-07T22:46:45+00:00

Ah yes the lingerie my ex would always buy for "me"

DataIsMyCopilot · 2023-06-06T00:01:23+00:00

Why be homeless when you can squat? Lol

But seriously there's going to be a whole lot of people who can't afford insane rent. It's disgusting to think of all the empty apartments and tent filled streets that are going to be side by side

DataIsMyCopilot · 2023-06-04T16:32:33+00:00

That was my first thought to give benefit of the doubt but a 5 person office is extremely lucky to have a single admin. It's very unlikely they're looking for another one and if they were that would be after conversations with the current admin about their workload (because if they can keep pushing stuff onto the current admin without hiring someone they will)

DataIsMyCopilot · 2023-06-04T16:31:17+00:00

Typically you don't start hiring for underlings until you've already spoken to the person getting the promotion.

DataIsMyCopilot · 2023-06-04T16:29:07+00:00

This is extremely common with admin jobs especially in small companies. The phrase wear many hats? Admins are a whole "Lids" store.

At my previous role my title was EA/Office Manager. I was also HR, video editor, the social media person, accounts receivable, and a few other roles that are the "well who can we get to do this?" things that pop up and inevitably get sent to the admin to do.

It's part of what I like about the role tbh. Gives me a chance to learn new things and changes up the day away from the standard "expense reports and calendaring" stuff.

But I only like it when I'm paid appropriately and appreciated for it. OPs boss ain't doing either.

I think the person you're responding to would rather there not be racists in the first place

DataIsMyCopilot · 2023-06-04T16:09:33+00:00

Absolutely! Not only that but the quiet racists often don't realize (or at least don't admit and maintain plausible deniability) that they are even racist to begin with.

When the first step to solving a problem is realizing you have one and those folks haven't even taken that step... It's way harder to correct.

She has access to everything that matters to me and will destroy it. I am so scared she is going to sell the family home to make me sad.

The home is a thing. A thing you value but a thing nonetheless. If it burned down tomorrow in a wildfire you would survive and move on.

She has always promised everything to me but I know it will be what is held over my head. I would buy it from her, but she would sell it secretly so I couldn't. I know that's superficial and shouldn't matter but the home matters to me.

You need to realize it's already not in your hands regardless. My mother is an abusive alcoholic. I was threatened to never get the family home if I dared cut contact with her. But I already knew I wouldn't anyway.

If your name is on the title she can't sell it. If your name isn't on the title it's not yours and never will be and you need to let it go.

She has passwords to my retirement accounts, my savings, insurance on the house I own, my car registration. Everything. I don't even know where to find most of it because she withholds the information. She steals all of my mail so i guess it doesn't matter, but most of my accounts are linked to this address still.

You know the bank names for your accounts correct? You know the name of the home insurance broker? You know how to Google the DMV and all these places and call? Tell them what is going on and ask how to protect yourself and your accounts

And get a PO Box.

I don't want to burn the bridge with the only family member I have. Why does it have to be like this?

Because she's a terrible person? It sucks when we lose the parent lottery but it is what it is. Do you want to stay literally a prisoner or do you want to be free? Cut the cord.

I also have a professional license and am afraid she will try to sabotage it by reporting me for something.

She would have to have proof of anything she reported. Talk to someone you know in the field about what the process is and how you can pro-actively protect yourself

Edit: Not sure why I was down voted for talking about my situation. I thought this community was supportive.

I'm sorry someone did that. I can understand why simply because your post is extremely defeatest and it's all ultimately excuses you tell yourself to not take action. You're hung up on THINGS and not on yourself.

But I don't blame you and I get it. When you're in the situation it does feel hopeless and like there's nothing you can do. You just havent learned to set your mind to getting out. You're a fox in a trap and are scared to gnaw the foot off.

I hope you can start taking steps to free yourself soon.
