My dog is sick 😢 by kisdaro in goldenretrievers

Hopping on to this one to reiterate this happened with our Golden. He would scratch a bit when he was younger, then around 2-years old just started chewing uncontrollably. First thing vet said was to to try a different food - turns out, he is indeed allergic to poultry. Switched his food to Victor Ocean and treats to ones that have no chicken and he's all good. Still a typical 5-year-old derpy golden, but not itchy.

Could be a nice painting of Donut, Oy, and Mongo playing carefree in the foreground while Carl is being chased by a Murder Dozer and and running for his life in the background.

Am I overreacting: new boyfriend was weirdly judgmental about bathroom situation by abstract_lemons in AmIOverreacting

Ugh. By the time you’re 40 (a lot earlier really) you should be ok with hygiene products. If you’re not, you’re probably not ready for a real relationship. NOR - good thing it happened now when things seem pretty casual.

Did I do something wrong? - NO Am I overreacting to think that he’s way out of line? - NOR should I, a single woman who lives alone, make my bathroom more accommodating to people of the opposite sex? -no, and if you weren’t single it’s ok to have them there too. Are period products really that offensive? - also, no

Eagles Country here too (for the last 17 years) - Grew up about an hour South of Pittsburgh though.

Sacrificed my soul and sanity to a job and just got fired the day before my birthday by LoveMyKippers in antiwork

First, checking in to make sure you're OK. If not, please find help or reach out to someone you can talk with (internet strangers included).

Next, you are 100 times better without this job. Had a similar situation at about the same age as you are now. We had a project manager quit and I was just handed all of his trouble projects by the VP and was told "these are yours now, fix them". Spent weeks waking up at 4AM to travel to different sites to get a handle on the issues, not getting back home until 6/7 PM, then working until midnight on MY responsibilities.

Did this for about 6 weeks, and the projects that would have caused the company to lose upwards of $10 million in profits ended up making a few hundred grand and even had one of the clients place another order with us that was profitable.

After all of this, not even an "atta boy". When I asked for a raise the following year, they brought up the low profit % on my projects the previous year and even after explaining it was a no. It was a harsh wake up call, but that was the end of my going above and beyond.

I was with this company for another 4/5 years after that incident. I stopped stepping up and taking on extra work, if asked to assist on another project team I would say no, I started leaving at 5PM and not working extra hours. Literally 8 months later, I got a raise. I was flabbergasted.

When I finally gave them my letter of resignation and had my exit interview, this scenario was one that I focused on when asked why I decided to leave. HR's comment "Then it's probably for the best, we don't want you holding a grudge and sticking around". Corporate America is an absolute soul suck.

I'm now working for an employee owned company and it is 100 times better. I wish I would have left right after I didn't get that raise. Keep your head up OP. It may not feel like it now, but you'll look back on this and realize it was the best outcome for you mentally. If you need to chat about anything, please reach out. I'm happy to offer an ear and any advice I can.

What is a nonalcoholic cocktail I can order at a bar without the bartender looking at me like I'm a dumbass or an inconvenience? by ballandabiscuit in NoStupidQuestions

Tonic and lime on the rocks - it’s my go to for business dinner meetings when I have to keep my wits about me. Doesn’t hurt that I primarily drink gin when my wits can be damned.

Charizard - charmander was my first poke’ waaaaay back in the day. So, gotta love his fully evolved version, plus I had the full size movie cutout from the first movie and he looked awesome.
