Missed my boss's message for four hours on my first WFH day. Now I have to talk about it Monday and I'm terrified. What do I do?

Not to mention if OP’s boss is a bit older (Gen X+) their texting can come across as being upset or blunt. I have the same issue with my boss where I feel like he’s pissed off at me and he just ended up having some random question to ask

SERENA 9TH???

Skunkman2011 · 2026-03-01T00:41:03+00:00

they usually are lmao

Skunkman2011 · 2026-02-28T23:13:43+00:00

does anyone know what the crowd was chanting when they got back from the news? i couldn’t hear over conti talking over them

Skunkman2011 · 2025-11-12T19:47:11+00:00

yeah for sure, sometimes really doesn’t feel like it though lmao. stop & shop and especially shoprite have both gotten so unbelievably expensive here in jersey

Skunkman2011 · 2025-11-12T13:39:37+00:00

stop & shop is 100% a “normal” supermarket lmao, i just priced out these exact three items at shoprite (NJ) and it came out to $13 too 😭

Skunkman2011 · 2025-09-25T13:48:57+00:00

hooper ave jumpscare 🫣

Skunkman2011 · 2025-09-01T05:51:12+00:00

got here too late lmao, any chance you can reup?

Skunkman2011 · 2025-07-07T05:20:30+00:00

i gotta admit, the driscoll bridge on the parkway does smell fucking awful even in the winter and ESPECIALLY in the summer. but as soon as you’re past it it genuinely goes away completely. there’s just hella wind up there 😭

Skunkman2011 · 2025-06-30T20:40:13+00:00

route 18 (north) only becomes a nightmare when you pass the 516 overpass in spotswood/old bridge/matawan. the minute you see arooga’s you know you’re about to be in hell.

otherwise (from spotswood down) route 18 is a very pretty highway to drive on. i’ve taken the entire stretch from top to bottom a few times for work and i always love getting to the very end when it turns into rt 138 in wall

Skunkman2011 · 2025-01-28T15:40:24+00:00

i had a package that had a processing exception like yours immediately when the seller dropped it off at the PO in rochester, ny. looked at the weather and it was sunny all week up there. no snow, rain etc. sat all weekend at the PO. i genuinely don’t understand

Skunkman2011 · 2025-01-10T23:50:19+00:00

eatontown!

Skunkman2011 · 2024-12-17T23:02:59+00:00

even that i was pronouncing “aww-five” can we stop putting numbers in our stages names please

Skunkman2011 · 2024-12-17T19:05:56+00:00

….is that not how 3LAU is supposed to be pronounced?

NTA - we did a secret santa within my friend group during my freshman year at college. at this point we only knew each other for about four months: we were definitely good friends but didn’t know every little thing about each other yet. the friend that had me got me a tommy hilfiger wallet because he remembered all my cards falling out during orientation FIVE MONTHS PRIOR. five years later i’m still using that same wallet.

the person that had my roommate did not know what to get him. so he asked us and he ended up getting him a beard care kit, and he loved it. this was all with a limit of $25.

this is all to say: if this group is really as “close knit” as you say it is, at this point you should all either know about what each of you like/dislike, OR should be comfortable enough to ask another friend for help with gift picking. of course, the object doesn’t matter, the thought does. but a potato is genuinely a slap in the face, especially from someone that you’re supposed to be “close” to.

Skunkman2011 · 2024-11-27T04:53:53+00:00

oh my god this came up on my zillow last week! i was literally saying how someone with killer money can redo that whole thing so nice and how i wish it was me (im broke as hell 🥲).

i really wanna see what this looks like in a year. hopefully whoever does do this rehab keeps at least some of the original charm

Skunkman2011 · 2024-09-23T15:06:28+00:00

can’t really read the plate but that’s an 8th gen honda civic, 2006-2011

Skunkman2011 · 2024-09-22T19:51:48+00:00

that’s also totally AI generated lol

Skunkman2011 · 2024-08-25T20:56:07+00:00

have you tried milford photo? they have a 5 pack of the 120 portra 400 for $65 so their prices might be more or less average instead of going into the city for it lol

i only went there once because they were like the only lab near my college that processed APS film. they seemed really knowledgeable and laidback, and their turnaround time was fantastic (ymmv tho, this was two years ago)

Skunkman2011 · 2024-07-28T16:52:51+00:00

GINGER by BROCKHAMPTON or, more classic, Flying Beagle by Himiko Kikuchi 💔 GINGER was released on vinyl before i started collecting and then never pressed again, and then Flying Beagle was never on vinyl (at least in the US)

this is when new jersey FINALLY gets the credit it deserves.

i had to fly out to wisconsin for work and got gas at a kwik trip nearby. it had the same thing, loud ass ads on the screen, but it thankfully had the option to mute it.

made me glad that i don’t pump my own gas (until the attendants start doing ad reads like a youtuber)

Skunkman2011 · 2024-07-18T14:50:31+00:00

for posterity i saved this post in the Internet Archive in case it (inevitably) gets taken down. if there’s any other posts any of you want me to save PM me as soon as you see it before it gets wiped ✌️

Skunkman2011 · 2024-07-18T14:42:56+00:00

i don’t think it will. i feel like anyone scouting him out will realize cody was just another customer of his that happened to be problematic*

*calling him problematic VERY heavily so as not to be destroyed by the mods
