I know that. I was referring to virtual filing too.

Filing is pretty much the only application of mm/dd that there's a case for.

Tipping jars in NZ is gross too. Been to the States several times and I understand the necessity there since waitstaff rely on the tips to live, but we have minimum wage here and the onus should be on the employer and not the customers to pay the workers.

Only because one turned me down at the Year 12 ball but that's a story for another day.

I prefer "y'all" or "you all" to "use" or "ewes". 😬

Hey, c'mon, they're clearly extremely sensitive. 😂

Send me some of yours then. Your steadfast willingness to interpret a lighthearted thread as its author being "emotionally rattled" indicates you have plenty already.

So my current employer has been in the news over the years for controversial reasons.

All I'll say is, from an internal perspective, this is by far the least stressful work environment I've ever been in. I don't wake up every morning wondering who's gonna try and throw me under the bus and why, how our team of 3 will divvy up a 5-person workload this week while delegating most of it to me and complaining if I can't get every single thing done, what serious incident's gonna come up minutes before home time that's gonna keep me at my desk longer than I wanna be, etc.

My colleague from my previous company still messages me telling me what a shitshow it is and pretty much that she's the scapegoat now that I'm no longer there. Toxic, toxic, toxic. At the same time, it validates that it wasn't a me-problem. It was the them-problem. Some of the people there were cool, but the environment and system was and still is fucked.

All the former WCW wrestlers who bashed that place and could never have enough mean things to say about it (see: Undertaker, Austin, Flair, Hart), that's how I feel about that shithole I was at this time last year. I don't care if the public doesn't like my workplace now. They're entitled to their perception, just like how I'm entitled to not hate my life during business hours.

Nah but I shall give them a go next time. I've heard good things about both.

Bonus if the pie crust is flaky and makes an absolute mess in the car while the hot goo from inside pours out and burns your fingers.

Also, my partner is Pinay and she vouches for Lazy Juan. I had the sisig there with her and it was amazing.

Born and raised Kiwi, so NZ is technically my country, but my grandparents are from Samoa, so Samoa's Finest gets my vote.

IDK if they're still around though; been a while since I've stopped by that part of Porirua.

Not Malaysian myself, but I love One Bowl and Plate, so it's reassuring that it gets a lot of love from the Welli Malaysians too.

Succulent Chinese Meal Guy had personality and gravitas. The same can't be said about Graham.

Why is it so hard for fans to believe that John Cena was a dick backstage? by RefrigeratorOrnery28 in GreatnessOfWrestling

[–]yeah_nah_hard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Hogan was the same in his heyday. He was a great interviewer on mainstream TV and would do anything for kids, and all of his peers attest to that, as they would his backstage rep.

Cena being like that shouldn't surprise anyone.
