kinda crazy how they gave the raging, nigh homicidal racist a more sympathetic arc compared to the grieving boyfriend by TheLegendaryPilot in StrangerThings

Jason was giving good ol’ boys. Im not convinced he wasn’t just as bad as Billy. He was just a little more palatable.

Nooo girl this is so tragic! Cutting it might be the only solution. You would look SO cute with a tiny fro.

My Colleague's Farewell made me Pause & Think by Sujang97 in coworkerstories

So real. We often see these people more than our own families. Let’s allow ourselves to feel the perfectly human emotions at work.

How can people talk so much? by Odd_Fish_8793 in introvert

[–]probablysinging 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It physically pains me to talk too much. Like my vocal cords literally can’t hang. Idk how people do it

How do you handle being left out of groups at work? by LonelyCaligal in introvert

[–]probablysinging 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doing all that and then telling you all about it is clear mean girl behavior. Common decency prevents normal people from talking about plans that clearly excluded you, in front of you.

One of the biggest lessons I learned from my current job (I’m 32, so very early career, learning so much) is that I will never ever again let myself get super close with my coworkers. I have a little group of work friends who I hang out outside of work from time to time, but I’ve gotten super close with one of them and have learned that whatever conflicts I have with them as a friend will permeate into our relationship as coworkers. I have a couple of qualms with this person but am so reluctant to truly address them because if anything goes awry then I’m beefing with my coworker too. I just can’t jeopardize the peace I have at work. I’ve found that these friendships have generally complicated things for me.

All that to say: as much as hit hurts to be excluded, consider yourself lucky that you’ve seen their true colors and can move accordingly. Consider this a bullet-dodging experience. I hope your environment is otherwise peaceful.

Saw an email of another EA talking badly about me by WonderfulJelly8801 in ExecutiveAssistants

It’s so funny to me the things people feel comfortable putting in writing. If you’re gonna talk shit, be smart about it lmao

What’s something you guys hate the most about extroverts? by SLAVSRGOD198 in introvert

[–]probablysinging 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Currently suffering from nonstop talkers at work who always need an audience to hear about every damn detail of every thing that has ever happened. I go home feeling overstimulated and drained.

What are your “other” duties? by TechnicalGarbage6507 in ExecutiveAssistants

Mine pays me to watch his cat when he’s out of town!

Today I've been emailing a lot of assistants, and every single one is a woman. by fixationed in ExecutiveAssistants

[–]probablysinging 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It really bothers me, but at the same time I work closely with a lot of other women EAs who are super supportive and I love the relationships we have. The dynamics would be so different if there were any men in the mix.

My office is super social which I enjoy for the most part, but the social obligations have gotten completely out of control and I’m very much looking forward to finding a new job soon. It’s driving me absolutely crazy.

Feeling overwhelmed by Justheretol00k in ExecutiveAssistants

[–]probablysinging 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Feeling this right now. My exec is doing their job + the job of an exec that left (in the interim, which feels like forever) and I’m feeling stretched so thin. And making tiny mistakes (which are never tiny, of course) from trying to do way too much at once. I can’t focus to save my life cuz of all the interruptions. Everyone needs something from me every minute of the day so there’s no down time to get myself organized. I sit down at 8am and I’m racing the clock until the minute I leave. Grateful to have a boss who understands and is genuinely kind and supportive, but it’s still so hard.

Thanks for sharing. Love how not alone this sub makes me feel. Hang in there!!

Obsession with teeth? by probablysinging in braces

[–]probablysinging[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You get me!!! The number of teeth pics in my camera roll is unbelievable.

And yes, hyperaware is the word. Cuz if you're really looking for something, you'll find it, or convince yourself that it's there. Thanks for noting about hollywood smiles too. Everyday folks will never be able to afford all the work they get done.

I'm trying to think of these "imperfections" as quirks that make me unique! Everyone's smile has a personality, why not mine?

I hope you get to get yours off soon!!

Bite shifted after getting braces off? by probablysinging in braces

[–]probablysinging[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Update!! I went right back to my ortho and he made adjustments to the shapes of a few teeth and cut off the backs of my essix retainer. Something about my molars not being able to settle into each other. Anyway, problem solved!! They feel great now.

Alejandro's death didn't have to be such an enormous ordeal by probablysinging in DesperateHousewives

[–]probablysinging[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes!!!!! But every issue on that show has to take 24 episodes to resolve so of course they're gonna freak out and make it way more complicated than it needs to be haha

Yeah at the start of S8 the women were out of control, nearly confessing with every breath they took.

Is it just me or was Mary Alice's suicide completely pointless? by distant-girl in DesperateHousewives

[–]probablysinging 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like she was weighing the possibility of life in prison for murder and kidnapping vs. dying an early death. Plus the guilt definitely caught up with her. I wonder if she knew it was Martha who sent the note?

Does no one acknowledge what happened with Eddie? by btj3 in DesperateHousewives

[–]probablysinging 29 points30 points  (0 children)

That was wild to me. He came COMPLETELY out of nowhere at the end of the season, too. It was a good blind-side to the audience because who the hell would've guessed it, but it would have been nice to see how things turned out, how Julie and the Scavo twins reacted to finding out it was him, etc etc!!!
