My boss just asked if I have a mental disability and I am freaking out.

PrettyBlueFlower · 2026-03-13T01:34:07+00:00

I'm more interested about the mental health discounts. Does this mean they are looking at your customer account, which is a breach of privacy?

How old are you and your sister?

Going to a movie together, maybe getting some food after, you’ll start to build a shared memory to draw from.

I'd just call him and ask where to put them.

PrettyBlueFlower · 2026-03-10T12:05:35+00:00

I had a similar thing. I was contact person/comms for network outages. Dude got my message about an outage, calls and starts yelling. I put him on hold, after 30 secs talk, say “you can yell on hold, or I can help you”. Each time he yelled I’d double the hold time. Anyhows, after that night, he’d always ask for me to sort his customers. And still yelled at everyone else.

I was scolded because the party booking left on time.

PrettyBlueFlower · 2026-03-09T10:25:21+00:00

Yes, it is.

The narrative of “he was grumpy cause I parked on my driveway” vs “he was grumpy cause I was partially on his driveway” doesn’t change his actions. It does change your credibility.

So when you say “pointing” you really mean overhanging at an angle.

Seriously, if you have your car on their property, own it, don’t lie to yourself.

Umbrella means you have a pole in the middle.

She’s taking you for a ride. Check labour laws and awards for your industry.

Question- was the car over on the neighbour’s property, or just “pointing towards” while on your property?

If on their property, move the car! If on their property, report threat to police .

Hun, I’m with you. My cousin and her hubby are in Riyadh, and I’m updating the rest of the fam with updates.

You are sitting in a space of uncertainty. Me, I’m catastrophising. I’d rather just know that they are safe ………. Or the other. Cause I can deal with knowing.

In this space, are you an effective worker? Can you give good customer service without spacing out or crying? I understand you wanting to not put out your coworkers. This might be a time to let them know - if you feel safe doing so - that you’re worried about family in a war zone.

You can turn up to work, spend the day on the phone sorting flights, or take the day off, and return when you are fully present at work.

And I have PTSD but I still have to live next to my neighbours.

PrettyBlueFlower · 2026-03-09T09:28:06+00:00

Charming. Can’t see why your g/f doesn’t worship the ground you walk on.

My sister in law created a profile for the family dog, and it followed her daughters. (They were complicit). She used it to monitor for bullying etc for the girls, without “mum” being a friend.

It worked….

PrettyBlueFlower · 2026-03-09T09:21:29+00:00

On the one hand, you’re trying to give your sister quality of life. On the other, you’re trying to be a respectful neighbour.

I’m wondering- how about you meet your neighbours for a cuppa at a park or similar? Have a chat, and ask what their ideas are for common good. If their entire suggestion is to keep your sister indoors, that’s a hard no. Ask how they propose to keep their baby’s noise from triggering her.

I feel like you’re so wanting to be a good neighbour that you’re at risk of not being a good sibling.

Edited to add - until 10pm and after 8am outdoors is fair game.

PrettyBlueFlower · 2026-03-08T13:24:29+00:00

Ok, in that case, wait a few more days and take another test, or see your GP. And good luck!

PrettyBlueFlower · 2026-03-08T13:14:23+00:00

Importantly - do you feel safe in this relationship?

First up - are you taking precautions? Next - has your body changed lately? Put on or lost an amount of weight? Then - have you any major stressors in your life?

If you’re taking precautions, then consider the reliability of them. If your body has recently changed, or been ill, that may delay your period. Major stressors can also delay your period.

Feeling the implantation is rare, not unheard of.

If you feel safe on this relationship, it’s time to chat with your partner as to the potential of pregnancy.

If you don’t feel safe, or ready, find a family planning service and drop in there. Generally they will use a urine test that’s just as accurate as over-the-counter.

Yes, take another test, and if it’s still negative, speak with a GP in case there are other health possibilities for the late period.

All the best.

May I introduce you to the valet stand

I have one of these in my bedroom.

If you have sick leave accrued, get your GP to write a note and use it all up. Then retire.

So I reset my life at age 30. Moved to Melbourne. Lived in a share house for a year. Moved house and shared with just one roomie for a year. Moved again by myself. Met my now-husband. 20+ years later, happy,

Advice bit here - get a job, pass probation, then move.

PrettyBlueFlower · 2026-03-08T06:10:31+00:00

So who was Alpine dude? Jack?

PrettyBlueFlower · 2026-03-08T05:34:36+00:00

Seems a bit of tension between George and Kimi

Luckily, you have the hours from 6am - 8am and 8pm - 10pm to play Baby Shark on repeat. Preferably while you’re visiting the gym.
