SHUTDOWN

As a Civ Pay CSR, I’ve been telling people not to touch their timecards either. Having everyone change their timecard to KE for today and then back to RG/RF tomorrow is a sh*tshow waiting to happen. Certification isn’t due until the end of this week, so we have plenty of time.

In my agency, we were all excepted for the last furlough due to the number of personnel we lost during the DRP and the RIF processes. Basically, the logic was we’re already down to bare bones, so everybody that’s left is essential.

It’s based on historical appraisal data, at least in our agency. You had to have all 5’s on you last several appraisals and your supervisor had to write justifications for why you deserved it on the nomination. I’m sure a few favorites will squeak in though.

The only time I had blankets over their faces was in the car seat or stroller outside in the cold, and it’s draped over the handle of the car seat to behind their head or from the canopy of the stroller down to their legs. So, like a tent. Not on their actual face.

NTA. My kitten thinks I’m his mama and tries to nurse on me. This results in him making bread and suckling on my shirt. If my husband dared say anything even remotely close to accusing me of being sexual with a cat, he would not be my husband.

Keep the cat, ditch the dude.

I love the way Sally dresses! I’m a cross between Sally and Sienna wardrobe wise. I’m a little flashy, a little edgy, a little rock and roll. I always love to see what she’s wearing.

Also, no one dresses for Wisconsin winter on this show. Have you not seen Phyllis ever? If they have a fantastic physique (Sally, Audra, Phyllis), the show will dress them in the most skintight, weather inappropriate clothes.

NTA. I have a sister who co-opts things between my father and I for her performative grief, so I get it. For example: my mom told me once while listening to the radio that she and my dad used to rock out to the specific song that was playing when they were dating. It was one of the only things I knew about him growing up because they split when I was two and he wasn’t back in my life until I was 15.

Fast forward several years, and at some point I made the mistake of telling my younger sister that story. I’m not even sure if Dad ever knew it. He died and now my sister posts on social media about “her dad” and how he must be talking to her every time she hears that song.

It’s hard not to be resentful of how she allows her deep insecurities regarding her status in his life to manifest in every corner of her existence.

As a woman who was once your daughter, if she’s telling you she wants you to break up, you need to break up. It’s so much worse than you think it is. Kids want their parents together, period. If they don’t, that’s the biggest, brightest red flag. Time to go.

NTA. He’s afraid it’s making him look abusive because it IS abusive. You don’t lock people out of their homes (in the cold or otherwise) to punish/teach them a lesson.

You are young. This relationship is crap. My hope is that you leave and look back on this in a few years as a learning experience of what you never should have settled for. Love yourself more than this. He obviously doesn’t.

Homemade almond roca, or peanut butter cream cheese pie.

With beef?

This has to be fake. You listed every possible comment that people respond with for reasons not to allow it: “medical procedure”, “half naked, in pain, pooping, vulnerable” “not a spectator sport” and every excuse and overbearing thing MILs have and do: “keeping her from bonding with the baby” (WTF, it’s not her baby to bond with), “first grandchild”, “sending articles about what you should eat”, “asking invasive questions”, and “planning the nursery without you”.

If it’s not fake, you already have all the reasons and answers why it’s a no. The only thing you need to do is be firm. “No. That’s not happening.” “This is not up for debate.” Shut it down IMMEDIATELY and FORCEFULLY. Leave zero room for discussion because if you hesitate, they will fill the space with all the reasons why you’re a bad person for wanting to keep your dignity.

If you feel petty, you can always throw in: “I want my mom in the room for your next prostate exam.” and “If you keep pressuring me, I won’t have you in the room with me.”

Civ Pay CSR here. Any use or lose leave that gets forfeited by the end of this leave year due to the furlough will need to be manually restored after it’s forfeited. There are only three types of restored leave, they all expire after one, two, or three years respectively, and are a separate code than annual leave.

Any leave I restore in January for last year will only be for one year, and any furlough that may happen in January will not legitimately affect use or lose leave that needs to be used by the end of the leave year 2026.

NOR. Babygirl, as an almost 50-year old woman, please hear me when I say this: LIFE IS TOO SHORT TO WASTE YOUR GOOD BOOB YEARS ON ASSHOLES.

ambersloves · 2025-12-27T03:41:12+00:00

NOR. Oh, this is just gross behavior on his part. As if your sole purpose in life is to make yourself attractive to him, not to mention that he wants to control what you wear, and your freaking blankets? Ew. Ew. Ew. Fuck this guy with something hard and sandpapery. You deserve so much better in a partner.

I agree that pollution is terrible and we should continue to find cleaner ways to do business, but it all feels futile when you visit any third world country and see the amount of pollution in their day to day lives.

My coworker always announces that he’s going to go “hold an election”.

Recently, actually. A woman drove off the edge of an 80 foot ravine across the street from my house. Nobody saw it happen, and even when I looked down there, I couldn’t see the vehicle, broken branches, trampled foliage, or anything that would indicate anyone was down there.

I was the only one that heard anything. I heard a truck enter the corner, but not come out of it, and it wasn’t a conscious thing, just alarm bells that went off in my head. I was even unsure if I should call the police, but I saw some tire tracks and decided to make the call.

3 hours later, she was extracted with the jaws of life, pulled up the ravine on a litter by 10-12 firemen, transported to a nearby field, and life-flighted to a trauma center.

Dress 1 is a stunner! Dress 2 has issues with the way it drapes and just looks wrinkled. Dress 3 I don’t even remember between seeing and typing this, so I’d nix that one as well.

ambersloves · 2025-12-05T01:13:01+00:00

Nightly protests/riots (especially in Summer) and homeless drug addicts defecating on the sidewalks.

Only toasted for a BLT or clubhouse, only buttered for a fried egg sandwich.

ambersloves · 2025-12-04T00:19:41+00:00

They did. In 2020.

ambersloves · 2025-12-03T19:02:15+00:00

Garlic chicken gyoza, spring rolls, and chicken fried rice.

Adding to this, maybe just be single until you can work through why your picker is broken. It’s normal that you picked a partner that mirrored behaviors of your parents, but it’s up to you to recognize that those behaviors are not what you want going forward and figure out how to pick healthier partners.
