It's taking everything I have not to ditch these corporate sl@vedrivers today and beyond.....
I really want/need some time off but the thing that irks tf out of me is how the average employees are looked down upon for taking time off. Like who tf wants to be working all the mf ing time?!? If these sociopathic employers hired properly and made work environments more tolerable then they wouldn't have to stress people out about their absences causing "short staffing".
Today I decided to paper trade $TSLA
and boy do I wish I'd taken the play in real life.
I jumped in kind of late (thanks to the ball n chain employer) but managed to get up to 66% or $385 return.
Im still being modest and paper trading how I would in real life.
Chomping at the bits here to test some of these plays with real money but I'm going to get a bit more practice down.
The first five years of our marriage involved such horrible attacks and turmoil that it almost did us in--multiple times. When we shut out BM from our lives by the end of Year Two, one of her last desperate calls was, *"We all need to get along [really?!? that's what this is called?] for future weddings, holidays, and grandchildren." By the end of Year Five, skid behavior was so god-awful, I shut the door on them. DH and I decided he would see his kids in some place other than our home unless they apologized and changed their behavior. SS apologized. SD cried and screamed.
So Chef has come down with something...again. He went off his health kick about a month ago. I'm convinced he's lowered his own immune system by fretting over the aging process... can't eat what he used to, can't do this or that, being very pessimistic in general and well, being bitchy to me.
DD9 had an an end of the year performance this week and SD24 attended. She had an interesting North Korea update. It was very, very hard for me to keep a straight face and not to smile but I somehow managed. North Korea was audited by the IRS!!!! You may kindly remember she is a hair dresser and owns her own salon and it used to eat my crawl how she would claim zero. That she made zero dollars and would just spend, spend, spend, spend like crazy. Long timers know I've been here a decade or more and I would come on here green with envy and would just cry. That we had to give her a $10
I just got my certificate and now I'm a lobotomy tech!
Took me only a week to get certified.
So if you have a Disneyland bio parent as a partner or spouse then send them my way. I'm doing discounts on my first 100 lobotomies.
I think this should be a new mantra we ST'ers keep at the forefront of our interactions with HCBPs, SKs, DH/DWs, even down to friends, etc. I once read that you are what you consistently do. So, of course, toss out the outlier days or moments, but pay attention to what is consistent, and you'll never be disappointed or surprised. As they say, a tiger cannot change its stripes, by and large. However, I do think in many circumstances, if a person's willingness and desire for change is there, they can and absolutely will make strides - no matter who you are, where you come from, or what yo
Well lets see..I took a break from pretty much everything after hitting rock bottom about 5 months ago. Diagnosis...severe burnout. Burnout from work, step life and the trama DH unleashed on me.
Got back to intense therapy...and I'm much better. Creating boundaries in home and work...and not taking sh$t from DH.
Last night, DH decided to stop off on the way to SS13's baseball game and let him pick out a sports drink for the game and some candy for after. (Given SS's recent attitude and behavior, I wouldn't have done that, but whatever, he's trying to connect.) The game was stormed out. They came home. SS consumed some of both, then DH told him to put both away before going to bed.
