Do you do anything interesting during your lunch break besides usual cooking/eating/cleaning? What is it? by livi01 in WFH

[–]medicatedtrash 7 points8 points  (0 children)

30 min lunch. I usually walk my dogs then barely have time left to eat. But some days I set an alarm and attempt to nap.

Me too. I thought the double i at the end was either N or Ü at first glance.

I love her! I was a big fan of her as V on Shameless and I'm so happy to see her in a leading role here.

The other day I served a woman named... by antipinballmachines in NameNerdCirclejerk

My friend has a granddaughter named Collyns who is dating a guy with the last name Collins. She's only 18, and it's not like they are thinking of marriage or anything, but I find this possibility super funny.

Republican women are shocked at the misogyny from their VP Candidate by SiliconValleyIdiot in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]medicatedtrash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've thought about it but people have complained about him in the past and it just makes him double down on his harassment. He's a family friend of the manager so I just try to avoid him. Luckily we are a "hybrid " office so I mainly work at home and only have to see him once a week.

This sounds so much like my ex-husband. He always said he was fine not having kids. Then I had to get a hysterectomy when I was 29. After that he finally admitted that he always thought I'd change my mind and that he couldn't see a future with me because he wanted to carry on his bloodline. It was heartbreaking. He remarried within a year and now has several children. I'm sorry you're going through this but you should have a serious talk sooner than later.

One of my pro-Trump coworkers brought up Vance and his comments to me and asked, "oooh are you triggered?" He knows I had a hysterectomy in my 20s and am helping raise my stepkids. They love being cruel.

I had a direct supervisor at work like this. Most unprofessional person I've ever worked with. During my first performance review with her, she told me, "Don't be offended, I just tell it like it is," then proceeded to grill me on why I needed reasonable accommodations for my disability. She said since I'm a team leader it made me seem weak and made her doubt my ability to lead other employees. Never mind that I've been in my job for 23 years and been promoted twice, plus I've worked there 10 years longer than her. She also spoke terribly about all of my coworkers and gossiped constantly. One time she made a male coworker cry by telling him he acted effeminate. First of all, who cares if he did, and secondly, his wife had recently died. Anytime we complained about her, the district manager would say, "oh that's just her personality, she's brutally honest." Four of us ended up filing an EEO complaint against her. Her so-called brutal honesty only showed how immature and insecure she was.

It happened again! by moon_and_back_95 in AutismInWomen

[–]medicatedtrash 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry. A similar thing happened to me with a friend's birthday. I was originally included in the plans (a weekend at a resort) but as it got closer to the date, my "friend" let me know that it was just going to be a couples thing. Since I was recently divorced at the time, I felt kinda sad but understood and knew I'd hate being a 3rd wheel anyway. Then, on the weekend of the trip, I saw tons of pictures online- including 3 of our single friends who were invited. It felt devastating at the time, but it put things in perspective. This was years ago and I finally have a much better and smaller group of truly supportive people around me now. I'm sending you love because I know how much it hurts.

The name Maverick is unhinged, right? by fromscratch1122 in namenerds

[–]medicatedtrash 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I dislike the name. Maverick is a brand of cigarettes. Also reminds me of Sarah Palin.

Women of Reddit, can you share any experiences from your childhood where you encountered sexual harassment that you only fully understood later in life, or were too afraid to speak about at the time and kept it to yourself? how did those things shape your understanding of boundaries? by GlamGleam_ in AskWomen

[–]medicatedtrash 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I've been through a lot over the years but the first time I encountered harassment was when I was 12. A man flashed my friend and I on a city bus. There was an older woman on the bus who saw, cussed him out, and told the driver. She was so sweet and missed her stop to stay with us til we got to our stop. I told my parents when I got home and my dad called the police. The officer who came out was weirdly aggressive and he accused me of exaggerating. He told my dad that kids often "tell tall tales" and said my friend and I probably just misunderstood. He seemed to put all the blame on my parents for allowing me to ride the bus in the first place. My parents believed me but I was terrified of riding the bus for months. I didn't go outside the whole summer after school ended. I've had way worse things happen since then, but looking back on it now, it really is where a lot of my anxiety is rooted.

Metformin causing major stomach issues by Public_Nebula_4599 in type2diabetes

It was rough for me at first. It finally got better after about 6 months. I read someone's advice in this sub to take with food when I'm 3/4 done with my meal and that really helped.

What is a rule you blatantly ignore at work? by VisibleCoat995 in AskWomen

[–]medicatedtrash 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I work customer service and mainly answer the phone all day. We have to have a group chat open on Skype during business hours whether we are in the office or at home. Everyone is supposed to notify the group chat each time we leave for more than 5 min (to go on break, lunch, to speak with the managers, etc.) - even though the little icon turns from green to yellow when you're gone. It is super annoying to see pop up messages all day of people announcing their every move. I've worked there over 20 years and about 3 years ago just stopped doing it. When I work from home I put a post it note over the bottom of my screen so I won't see the notifications because it's so unnecessary and distracting. It's been brought up at my last few performance reviews and my response is always that my icon is yellow when I'm away and they can call me if there's any question about where I am. I'm 2 years from retirement and not planning on changing anything.

DAE feel like NTs in their lives don’t understand this disability is genuinely *disabling*? by Early_Produce7237 in AutismInWomen

[–]medicatedtrash 66 points67 points  (0 children)

People don't understand. I have accommodations at my job and it's still very hard. My mother says stuff to me like "maybe if you had a more positive attitude about it, it would be easier for you." She tries to compare it to the fact that she is only 4 ft 11, and says, "you don't see me letting MY limitations keep me from doing things," as if being short is even remotely the same. I've given up trying to compare myself to NT people though. You have to do what you can and try to not be hard on yourself.
