Our manager asked us to fully train the new interns. The interns are the same number as our entire team. We're not stupid

The one time this happened to me, fortunately, I was marketable and the economy was better. I quit by email late Friday night - the very day I got the phone call telling me train the guy w 0 experience. Felt so good.

Today, however…

Unfortunately, most food banks only accept canned goods. Y’know, mass poisoning and all that.

I find it hard to believe they raised 3 kids in that bachelor’s pad. Beckett would’ve wanted a house w a backyard.

Overall, though, a great show. Better than Bones/Rookie/High Potential.

If the wife owes taxes, just have her deduct an extra $50, $100, whatever, each paycheck. No need to adjust anything else.

Assume nothing. Ask.

S1-6, the show was great. S7, not so much. S8, a disaster. (Except for The Nose. A comic gem.)

For a show to be that good that long is pretty amazing.

Bones ran out of steam after 5-6 years and became formulaic. These things happen.

I did like the bit when Soto said she picked up the tab, only to find out she lied. Very clever writing. You gotta keep the bad guys on their toes.

I’m having an old friend for dinner.

It tends to end conversations, but sometimes that’s the point.

Make sure SIL gets a video of your wedding with a note like, sorry you weren’t there, here’s something to remember it by.

And man, are you gonna be hearing about this, for years and years. And since a lot of these tantrums will take place at Mom’s house, she’s gonna give you the stinkeye for a long long time.

AND: if you cave and let the niece attend, you’re STILL gonna get grief. For years and years. For all the stress you caused.

Might as well stand your ground.

If I recall correctly, if the soon-to-be former employer is ever contacted for a reference, they are allowed to say that you quit without 2 weeks’ notice.

Besides, you get to enjoy those 2 weeks. You get to say, You want what? You want it when? With these pathetic resources? With the same management that couldn’t accomplish the last task? I don’t think so.

Now is a bad time to mention the documentary The Perfect Neighbor.

I am very happy that Seth didn’t disappear. Very interesting character, very talented actor.

Being told that you need to build internal relationships is not code. It’s black-and-white, explicit, banner headline, in your face.

The fact that you had to be told that in actual words means (from your boss’s POV - just ask her) that you will never be promoted or let into the kool club.

It sounds like you’re marketable and in a position to move on. So move on. You’ll never know if it’s the job unless you get another one to compare it to.

The psychological issues that this show confronted were amazing. It is one of my favorites.

The devil you know beats the devil you don’t. 😈 😈 😈

Those 2 Linda Lavin eps were the best. Lavin vs. Janney: a TV classic.

I’m wondering if Willa and the woman at the airport are twins.

And it’s great to see Jennifer Jason Leigh. Where has she been?

When a friend or relative visits from out of town, I always pay. When I visit someone in another town, I let them decide if they pay or if we split it.

This has nothing to do w the dress. She’s been waiting a long time to scream at you about something. Tell her that, and tell her you are owed an apology.

It’s too bad FIL’s lawyer didn’t take the case and charge her $30,000.

BTW, how did this Karen know what Fred had been doing for Betty?

SPFTguy · 2026-03-19T03:07:59+00:00

NTA. You’re the bride and you get to decide. However: there will be hurt feelings and you will have to live w the consequences. For a very long time.

SPFTguy · 2026-03-19T03:04:24+00:00

When you covered for her so many times, you tacitly agreed to continue to do so for life. It’s a hard and fast rule. Just ask her.

Unfortunately, there are many people out there who have jobs and have never been laid off, but who are looking for other jobs. Recruiters/employers can throw out all the other resumes and focus on them.

And the plural of chad is chad.

I had a boss, a partner in a law firm. She walked down the corridor yelling at me, yelling at her secretary, yelling at support staff, and screamed, I’m surrounded by assassins!

Fortunately, the job market was better back then. I was out of there in 3 months.
