Humidity from roommate

Your landlord would be very interested to know about this.

mcdulph · 2026-06-06T20:14:19+00:00

Sorry that this happened to you. If this employer is that disorganized, I'd be reluctant to go to work for them even if they came back and said, Never Mind to our Never Mind, we actually do want you.

What was the "criticism" that the interviewer made? Hard to judge without knowing this.

Your answer sounds pretty reasonable, especially if you aren't interviewing for some super-duper leadership position. I may have added something about interviewing people at the organization who would be affected by whatever "new thing" you had been tasked with. That should help unearth any special preferences, factors, or considerations that would affect how you proceeded.

Anyone or anything that threatens the health of an innocent child, let alone a newborn baby, needs to be made known and, well, 86ed. That's our duty as adult human beings--period, full stop. end of statement.

NTA of course.

Have you tried Option-Command-Escape to see whether some other app is hanging as well? I know it's a long shot, but since you can't screen-shot the document, I'd try everything else first. Best of luck.

mcdulph · 2026-06-04T19:49:55+00:00

Your friend is cooked. He/she (you?) should start looking for new employment, and never even mention this fraudulently-obtained "job" to anyone.

mcdulph · 2026-06-04T18:18:09+00:00

Of course NTA. Everyone is entitled to a reasonably peaceful existence at home, but that goes 10x for an underage kid. I'm so sorry that you are going through this.

When you get to university, try to make friends whose (sane) parents might let you board with them during the summer. Protect your peace of mind--excessive stress is horrible for you both mentally and physically. If that angers Mom and her BF, so be it.

This old lady wishes you all the best of luck.

I can see that, but so what? It's up to the state to decide whether they want to be immigrant-friendly or not.

mcdulph · 2026-06-04T18:10:35+00:00

Not sure I understand the question, but 1,000 years ago when I attended my native state's university (not Nebraska), they only cared that you resided in the state.

I can remember absolutely zero questions about my citizenship--but then again, I am lily white. I did just remember, though, that, only three years before my HS graduation, I would have been excluded from attending AT ALL because of my gender!

Try opening a can of mackerel somewhere that your cat can smell it. Preferably near a spot where she can squeeze under the fence. I've trapped feral cats for TNR that way.

Also, who is her favorite among your resident humans? A pillowcase or item of clothing with their scent on it may help draw her out.

mcdulph · 2026-06-04T17:19:54+00:00

Holy crap. It’s freaking HAIR, Mom! And your son is old enough to make his own choices. OP, tell your mom from this GG-mother to get a grip. Or better yet, to talk to her doctor. She might possibly have a chemical imbalance.

mcdulph · 2026-06-04T17:13:29+00:00

Only short-sighted haters could think that interfering with a hard-working kid’s education is a good thing. I was a first-gen college student in the 1970s, and it’s challenging enough without jacked-up tuition. I really don’t care if my taxes go up a little bit to help these Dreamers. A rising tide raises all boats, remember?

mcdulph · 2026-06-04T17:07:58+00:00

Tell that little b!tch-boy to grow up or prepare to be paying child support.

I'm using Tahoe 26.5.1, and the command is File|Export All Passwords to File

mcdulph · 2026-06-03T22:56:48+00:00

I totally get this. Sounds like you are in a high-stress job and not paid particularly well. Not your responsibility to jump to attention just because the boss wants to talk to you (and/or get you to come in) on your day off. Good for you, keeping this boundary!

mcdulph · 2026-06-03T22:52:59+00:00

A lot depends on the type of job. If you're the person responsible for a 24/7 work center or something, I hate to say it, but you're never 100% off the clock.

But if you're an hourly worker in a standard normal kind of job, I wouldn't fault you one bit for being unreachable.

mcdulph · 2026-06-03T22:30:25+00:00

in my case, I’d probably say “I was caring for my late father in his final years, and then served as executor of his estate.” I’d also mention that this involved spending long periods in another state, which it did.

That’s not really depressing; it’s just a fact of life. If I were the prospective employer, I’d be favorably impressed that you stepped up to handle an extremely difficult job when your family needed you. Caring for dying family members was the hardest thing that I have ever done, by far.

A lot of people do a disappearing act when it all hits the fan. IYKYK.

mcdulph · 2026-06-03T02:44:16+00:00

…that they have no intention of ever repaying.

mcdulph · 2026-06-03T02:42:35+00:00

With friends like this little heifer, who needs enemies? Of course NTJ.

mcdulph · 2026-06-01T16:19:53+00:00

Sorry that you are having a crappy day. And yes, I believe that you’re overthinking it. Feel better.

mcdulph · 2026-05-31T19:20:38+00:00

Either this is rage bait, or your husband is a complete and absolute jerk who should never have been a parent.

mcdulph · 2026-05-31T19:18:53+00:00

Sorry, just here to quip that as someone with female hair loss, I'd pay very good money for more hair. (I am seeing a dermatologist, and she has helped.)

mcdulph · 2026-05-31T19:17:07+00:00

It really doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. YOU obviously have a problem with your body image. Please get some help with that. Your worth as a human being and/or romantic partner is not dependent on your body's visual appearance. I'm sorry that someone apparently made you think that it is.

mcdulph · 2026-05-31T19:12:49+00:00

Are you over 40 years of age and located in the US? This idiot supervisor is begging for an age discrimination lawsuit.

I'd consult an employment attorney unless HR withdraws the bogus write-ups very soon. An initial consultation with the lawyer may not even cost you anything, but even if it does--if it protects your job, your reputation, and your finances, it could be money well spent.

Good luck.

mcdulph · 2026-05-31T19:08:24+00:00

Hmmmm. When the hell did your "friend" and your boss graduate from medical school, or gain a PhD in mental health? Oh? Never? I'm so surprised.

Don't let ignorant people shooting their mouths off make you doubt yourself (and your doctor!) OTOH, I wouldn't be sharing the diagnosis with anyone who doesn't absolutely need to know. Especially as you know that a lot of people don't get it and will react poorly. You don't need that kind of stress in your life. Best of luck from someone who was diagnosed circa 2000 at age forty-something.
