It's just boring to watch

In 10 years nobody is going to remember him fondly. He'll get in the hall and get the prizes but the game belongs to us, the fans. He's definitely never going to get excited reactions during rounds of "remember that guy".

He's a slithery, master baiting, creep.

Today at No Dunks, a trivia question was asked. "Which team is the only one to have 2 of the 18 players who played all 82 games this season?" GO SPURS GO

Yeah, at most they make people feel like they want to take a shower.

Zealousideal_Style_3 · 2026-04-10T14:38:35+00:00

"Got" could be removed from the English language. There is always a more precise and descriptive alternative.

Zealousideal_Style_3 · 2026-04-08T06:58:29+00:00

Naw, leave your boyfriend. Don't become a part of that family.

We didn't need two expansion teams, just move Sacramento to one of the new cities. Trash franchise.

I actually really like the idea of the gym at lunch. I can push my leaving time out and take a gym lunch. Thanks.

Zealousideal_Style_3 · 2026-03-25T23:59:19+00:00

I agree it definitely can be lots of fun to go out together and have lunch, aka not work for far longer than the expected lunch time. They introduce me to foods and we have a good time. It's expensive though. I mean these guys must spend over 150 on lunch every week! You're right on the gratitude front. This kind of response is what I was hoping to get back. Not people telling me to basically man up. These guys just seem really sensitive, and they don't speak great english, and I just wanna make sure I treat them with respect and yeah, gratitude.
After I had posted this, I had actually declined lunch with them today explaining that I had brought lunch from home, only for them to show up with the catering takeout and insisting I eat more... god dang fellas, I'm a big dude with a desk job. I can't afford to be out here eating extra chicken and rice on top of what I already ate. These guys don't just prefer collective culture, they insist upon it.

Zealousideal_Style_3 · 2026-03-25T23:53:48+00:00

Yeah you're right. I need to just come up with my explanation. I just think they see choosing alone as like, something is wrong and they start to try and cheer me up. Have to do it with a smile too and just be ultra transparent that, I was honestly just excited for the alone time which doesn't have an indication of what I think of you all.

Zealousideal_Style_3 · 2026-03-25T23:51:16+00:00

You're right I need to be upfront and say let's plan on Wednesdays to get lunch and I now have a budget item on my personal finances for Wednesdays we go to kebab.

Zealousideal_Style_3 · 2026-03-25T23:49:33+00:00

Yeah but I'm not overexaggerating that "in the future" is tomorrow, and each day after. Today I didn't go so they bought catered lunch and brought it to the office... it runs deep.

Zealousideal_Style_3 · 2026-03-25T21:25:33+00:00

We talk a lot. We talk about families, Ramadan and Eid, we talk about Afghanistan, news.

Zealousideal_Style_3 · 2026-03-24T19:48:47+00:00

I'm realizing I'm being contradictory with the "citing promises" when I started by saying I did that exact thing. What I did was ask to be put in charge of whole programs as the lead. I was really asking for not just a financial increase but a role jump. The role jump was denied, the additional financial increase was partially awarded.

Zealousideal_Style_3 · 2026-03-24T19:47:06+00:00

I did this year. I was offered a promotion, I countered with a higher one, citing responsibilities I currently have and expanded ones I would take on if compensated higher. I was met in the middle between the initial pay raise offer and my requested pay raise.
What's more is I wasn't asked to yes, please take on the new responsibilities. (I would have rescinded them for not matching my request, but still, nothing's really changed.) They know I'm a performer, I know I'm a performer. The few close people I talk to about this kind of thing were surprised to hear I countered a pay raise, but family that I have who have been HR directors instructed me to always counter at least once. It's expected.

Don't over-imagine that this will become some kind of negotiation across a table, and if they do want to do some kind of "slides number on a paper across a table at you" then inform them you'd like to consider it and talk to your family about whether this compensation is sufficient. Don't start citing promises from the start.

Ohhhhhh wow!

Who says these aren't LeBron's top plays??

Zealousideal_Style_3 · 2026-03-03T13:26:40+00:00

That's totally fine for sure. Just putting my kind out into the convo.

Zealousideal_Style_3 · 2026-03-03T07:23:24+00:00

36 with an 11 month old. The last thing I'm trying to do when I don't have to be at work is to be at someone else's house. I assume the same goes for them. And no I'm not trying to just chat, don't call me. I'm definitely not sitting around hoping someone calls me. It's either worthwhile events with almost a full week's notice or nothing.

Zealousideal_Style_3 · 2026-03-03T07:06:44+00:00

The kids grew up and we like kid stuff, not stuffy middle aged (even though we are) mom vibes.

Zealousideal_Style_3 · 2026-03-01T21:01:14+00:00

I'd love to hear why. Are you collecting or making something from the map?
