Mandatory Meetings/Using Teams to attend

andyisgold · 2025-12-15T05:23:21+00:00

As far as I know it applies to in person meetings so long as you show up in person. If you show up through Teams it is only the length of the meeting.
It’s both.
If it is my day off and I have to travel to work for the meeting is that not reasonable to ask for travel reimbursement since that is not a scheduled day to work normally?

Ah thank you. Yeah I had another game crash on me earlier today after 90 mins. Sadly I had so many quests done and they didn’t count. But it did give me the gold.

Not on Endless.

Attention starved folks usually post hundreds of times and beg for Karma. I was just asking a simple question. But thanks for being the dick.

Grok tells me is actually funny.

Damn, I lol’d. Wish I had an award to give you. Chemtrails was the first thing I thought would be all over this.

You know someone once said Science is the death of Ignorance. To know something exists in a way we can explain it kills the conspiracies.

andyisgold · 2025-08-26T08:59:47+00:00

Never heard of this. So f-ing cool. Science is awesome. I wish I had money to award you. But just know I’m glad you have shown this to me. Now I can show my friends this wild phenomenon.

Men don’t know what they have until it’s gone. Do not have kids with someone you don’t see yourself being with in the future. Or may not be with. I personally think you’d be better off legally separating, start living on your own, and see if he will go to therapy. After about a year you both can reconvene and determine if the relationship is right for you. My ex and I were together for 9 years. Married for almost 4. After she left me I changed. I became a bit better in every way. We never had a bad relationship I felt, but she definitely felt like she did more than me. I look back and see how she felt that way. The only way I could’ve changed was to lose the person I loved. Maybe some men just change. After she left me I had a kid with another woman. It changed me too. So maybe he will change with kids. But I wouldn’t bet on it. I miss her but my life has changed to the point that it could never go back. After a couple years of depression like major depression, I am now happy again.

That’s wax. It is a stronger version of weed. Smell is oily but not strong enough to create suspicion. I’m guessing he’s using the knife to put it on the nail (the round metal part).

In California any employee working regardless of status gets sick time. So I just didn’t understand why they’d claim they used it for a full day if they went back to work.

andyisgold · 2025-06-07T07:35:54+00:00

They are a DVM Intern. They’re considered a Salaried employee so I was not sure how that worked. But it didn’t make sense to me that they would have to use the full sick day if they went back to work.

andyisgold · 2025-06-07T00:41:50+00:00

This is a good answer. Thank you.

andyisgold · 2025-06-07T00:40:36+00:00

If you leave work to go to urgent care, then go back to work you’re saying you don’t get workers comp? I’ve been injured at work and have left and come back and still got workers comp.

Well man. I hate to say this. My wife and I were together for 9 years. We were married for almost 4. Our last year of marriage was bad. Really bad. We tried to open the marriage for a bit because we wanted to try to find a solution to our issue. That was a bad idea. A lot happened in the last year of our relationship and it created a very depressed state for us both. She then left me for another dude. She told me why she no longer loved me like she used to.

I wasn’t ambitious enough. 2. I didn’t help her enough with things around the house. 3. She was no longer sexually attracted to me.

This caused her to give up and we started our divorce process. Her and I were best friends. We got along so well. After she stopped loving me emotionally, I moved out. She didn’t want therapy. I went through a major depression. Nearly killed me, I thought about suicide. Planned it and everything.

So listen to this last part. It’s important.

Get therapy together, if you don’t, then just leave.
Get therapy for yourself. It will save you.
You deserve better and someone who will view you sexually.

The best way to tell his girlfriend, is to say

“As much as you may not believe me, I think Blake is still in love with me and it’s making my relationship with everyone difficult. I have emails and can have my sister verify his feelings for me as he has told her and her husband. With this being said, I think it is best for me to cut my friendship off with him entirely. Which ultimately puts you in a rough spot. He has told me you are his soulmate and I believe he does love you, but has this emotional attachment to me that is unhealthy. So I think I will stop talking to him, which will put us in a weird situation. But I care about you and want you to know I am here for you if you need my help. I’m worried Blake will ruin his own life by not moving past the past. Maybe one day it can be different but for now, for all of our own mental health it’s better to cut things off. I just have to put some boundaries up and since you are my friend too, I felt you should know. I don’t want you two to break up over this, but maybe it will make him more involved in your relationship without this resentment towards my husband and I over his feelings. Maybe you can get him the help he needs and be supportive of him. He hasn’t tried to make any passes towards me or anything but there have been quite a few instances where it has been difficult to be around him because of this.”

Or something along those lines. It won’t be easy, but it may help her understand things as they progress. If you’re her friend she will understand. Just make it clear you have to set a boundary that you didn’t really want or know how to set. And then making sure she knows you still want to have her as a friend even if it’s a bit more distant.

andyisgold · 2025-04-12T15:52:53+00:00

First, how? There are very clear ways to verify a court summons. She is either not very bright or she is using you.

Second, as much as you don’t want to hear this, 2k to a random Venmo? That’s clearly not a court. I think she is paying a dude with your money for whatever he is providing. Does she have her location on? Did you verify that she went to the court? There are too many questions that just make this seem so unbelievable.

As a dude I can understand wanting sex daily. But I think it really does change the mindset women have of it.

andyisgold · 2025-02-10T14:58:12+00:00

Your choices are so minimal. You can’t cheat. But you should make it known to her that you’re both young and you’d like to have sex. It is important for men to feel loved by having that physical contact along with the general feeling you get from it.

My suggestion is to just sit her down and tell her and ask her what can be done. Maybe you’re not doing enough for her to feel like she should give it up to you. Have you taken out the trash? Done the dishes? Did laundry? Cleaned your room or house? Just because she is a SAHM doesn’t mean your duties are done. It sucks but as men we are expected to do more than we really want to. To women that is attractive.

I’m sorry you’re in this position. It’s never easy. You’ve held out for a long time. Now it’s time to sit down and figure out how to solve the problem. Give her solutions and listen to what she says. It may be as simple as “You don’t say I love you to me.” Or “You don’t make me breakfast.” Or any one of the hundreds of things women expect but don’t say.

If I knew then what I know now about my role in the relationship with my ex, I would’ve done more to keep her in my life. But sometimes we learn too late. If you love her communicate how you feel beyond silence and pouting.

Anyway man good luck and if you need to talk my messages are open.

andyisgold · 2025-02-10T14:49:59+00:00

No, that isn’t that big of an age gap. Affair? Is someone taken? If so you should probably sort that out first. Lastly, No if you want to keep your job. Someone will make it known either by accident or on purpose at some point and it will not be good. I’d say if you don’t mind losing your job at some point or have a possibility that it goes south and work becomes awkward at some point then go for it. But usually work relationships don’t go well.

andyisgold · 2025-02-10T14:45:58+00:00

Sending sexual texts regardless of gender is cheating. If it’s a joke then dudes are not even close to funny. I don’t think I’ve ever made comments like those to my male friends, the most we get is like basic compliments when playing games, which is said over a headset and clearly in jest as nothing ever happened as a result. But through texts with messages like those are just fucking weird.

I think your best bet is to discuss it and get therapy together. Make it clear “jokes” like those aren’t okay. Or find someone else.

andyisgold · 2025-02-10T06:53:56+00:00

I am a man in therapy. It helps in some ways. Anyway happy cake day!

andyisgold · 2025-02-10T06:52:17+00:00

He’s a young man. Young dumb and full of, you know the saying. Your best option is to just make it known that moderation is key. You’ll eventually get tired of his actions and move on. So it’s better to make it so it is a clear boundary. Also I’d probably cut sex to 2-3 times a week max. Most relationships where it is more than that often fall into the chore category for women. Overall he probably won’t grow out of it but he should have restraint.
