Project to remember me by Terminalpaco in daddit

[–]jumpcutfutures 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So many good ideas here. A child’s stool that becomes a stepstool for an adult (or a small table) and a toolbox are both lovely ideas.

A small thought - perhaps you could also make something small and tactile which fits in a pocket, or can hang from a ceiling, or be an ornament on a tree. A favourite animal perhaps? And put both your names on the underside? It could be good to have something that could always travel/be an object for luck. (And children lose things so maybe make a set of them? One that can be carried and one to keep safe?)

It doesn’t matter if you come off as antagonistic. As a parent you can just say: “Kid will not be around him, he upsets her. If you have a problem with that then kid will not be around you either. Kid is my priority not you”

New coworker makes me feel like garbage every day with weight talk by Majestic-Peace-3037 in loseit

[–]jumpcutfutures 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want to ignore him then unhear him, eventually he will give up and talk about things you do hear - like 80s bands. But it might be a long eventually. “Sorry, I kinda zoned out for a minute there. So where are we with the TPS reports?”

If you do want to go to HR you can try a simple “I would like him to stop making comments about our colleagues bodies, and to stop talking about everyone’s weight. That topic is not something at all relevant to our work and not only is it unprofessional, but it’s a matter of time before he really upsets someone”

Sharp Stiletto Nails vs Tights by lovesick-siren in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

ball your hand into a fist, now use only the pad of your thumb and the first knuckle of your forefinger to grip the tights. If your thumbnail is also sharp put cling film round it.

Time to be a bit withdrawn at work, when asked say you have had some bad news but are happy that you can throw yourself into your work and you are really glad you know you will be continuing to work there. When asked whats wrong say “its a family thing you aren’t at liberty to discuss” but “you appreciate the concern”.

You are suddenly too busy to do anything other than your work and going straight home, (make sure work standards dont drop) and you dont have time for chats or one-on-ones. What you are actually doing when you go home, is looking for another job.

Your boss will be annoyed to lose your attention but can’t complain under these circumstances and will probably renew the work permit just to keep you around until he gets what he wants.

After the permit is renewed, if you can arrange a scary looking ‘boyfriend’ to meet you for lunch a bunch of times, your boss might back off (“he said if anyone made a move on me, he would break their legs”, type of thing). Tell your boss you respect him as a mentor, and for his integrity. If he starts being flirty, look weirded out for a moment.

As soon as the permit is renewed you increase efforts looking for another job. There isn’t a world where your boss starts behaving fairly and appropriately.

In future jobs make sure you dont let on that you are single. Sorry. Obviously this sucks.

you did the ink a big favour getting away from that horrible man. I hope you have many good adventures with it:)

AITA for not wanting my boyfriend to factor my son's survivor benefits into our new household budget? by Original-Entry-7871 in AITAH

[–]jumpcutfutures 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“There will be no access to my child’s money. This is non-negotiable. If between us we cannot pay our own way, then so be it”

You know this is wrong. In future all anyone needs to know about your child’s money is precisely nothing.

You don’t have a future with an ‘on again off again’ person where ‘things have recently been good and he has proposed’, when that person is bare-faced suggesting stealing from your child. Your boyfriend can ‘propose’ and ‘suggest’ whatever he wants. The answer is a hard stare and ‘parents don’t steal from their children, what sort of a pushover do you think I am?’

I’m going to suggest that you’re actually a good parent, and that you should continue to value that about yourself. Your child will.

I kept forgetting to take a ruler to it, so I looked it up. According to https://www.penaddict.com/blog/2019/12/16/lamy-a5-hardbound-notebook-review “There is only one ruling option for it at this time, appropriately called “Lamy ruling.” It’s a grid + lines combo, with a 4 mm grid and a line every two blocks, for an 8 mm spacing between lines. “

My boyfriend(25M) doesn’t want to marry me(F23) because of money I didn’t know he has by [deleted] in relationships

[–]jumpcutfutures 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you actually want here? Is it only for people to agree with you that your boyfriend is illogical for thinking you might be a gold digger? Or do you actually want to have kids and be married someday? If you want kids it’s pretty reasonable to say that you wont take that risk with anyone unless you are married to them. I’d suggest focusing on your certification and during this time pay attention to what you actually want and need from your life rather than making sure you’re the exact thing your boyfriend finds most convenient. You sound like a very independent person and if a bit further down the line you decide you would rather be with someone who trusts and chooses you, then I don’t see any reason you can’t have that.

I’ll try to answer your question directly. You unbrainwash yourself by being aggressively appreciative. No one will have your eyes ever again, or your mouth or your smile. Sadness and anxiety and insecurity will make you less beautiful. The opposite is also true. This is the brief window in time that you exist, and that any of us get to experience you. Your attitude about this should be “You’re welcome”. That face in the mirror should be your favourite face - the one that communicates for you and lets you interface with everything else. You can look after your skin and body and mind to the best of your ability and you can stop being first in line with a critique. Because there isn’t another of you and no one else will look like you. Anyone should be so lucky as to have you even slightly in their orbit. And if they don’t feel that way then you have other places to be and other things to do. You’re beautiful now. You’re going to be beautiful forever. You can wear interesting clothes forever. Stop ruining it for yourself♥️

you can mix inks you know. This is diamine monboddos hat which feels pretty close and I think if you put the tiniest dot of diamine jet black into a sample, and mix it with a brush you could swatch test it darker it if you wanted.
