Methinks you doth protest too much. Probably time to stop digging now.

I also work in a large, diverse, IT team and I have been “volunteered” for many thankless tasks in the 12 years I have been here while the white males get promoted and get to work from home 2 days a week. Good for you that you reward your team in the way you say that you do, but you are the exception to the rule. The…

EXACTLY.

There is a reddit thread called “malicious compliance.” This reminded me of that.

Thanks for the warning. I tried it here at work because we are filtered and anti-virused, etc. to the max. I would be more cautious at home.

And then the soundtrack from CSI: Miami plays... “YeOWWW....”

A fried egg on my sausage pizza actually sounds delicious.

“a knowledge of human anatomy that begins and ends with his own ass”

Excellent article, and thanks for sharing it. The level of denial many of us have lived with is truly shocking. I have come to a lot of this on my own as a cranky old woman who lives alone (not unhappily), but this article broke through yet another layer of denial. I’d like to see this posted on High School bulletin…

I have had clinical depression and that kind of slow burn underlying pervasive sadness (currently), but not what you are terming a major depression that comes in waves. Grief was something that came in waves, but is different, so I kind of get it, yet not totally. 

I guess because most of us are so self involved we often just skim the surface of what is going on with someone else, unless they are our children and spouses, and even that is no guarantee we are paying adequate attention.

I guess I am a really bad actor, then. My grandson will often know I am sad before even I do. We are playing a game and having fun and he would look at my face and ask me why I am sad. I am a widow but he never got to meet his grampa so it is hard for me to explain. So I just smile and tell him that he makes me feel…

I like your username :)

Liked this to take it out of the greys. I can’t read the link yet because work blocks google drive but I will check it later.

I know, right? Who among us has never laughed at the antics of an entertaining bully without first thinking of the bully’s victim(s) and stepping up immediately to stop it? Who among us has never been behind someone in the grocery line who is clearly being treated badly by the cashier because of their race, ethnicity,…

Not to mention that hard jagged pit in the middle. I haven’t seen the film so maybe there was a scene where they removed the pit first? So many questions.

I read the article hoping for some hint of why he offed himself. There was none. He seemed to enjoy life so much.... it is still such a mystery.

CVS is the worst. I used to get my ADD meds filled at one and they would always give me attitude and peer at me over their bifocals in disapproval. Other shenanigans included telling me my prescription was ready when I called from home and then after I showed up being told they were out of that particular medication…

Not to mention his probably being arrested and convicted of assault. Black men have been shot for much less.

Exactly. Why not have as many tools as possible in dealing with these situations? I don’t think many women would suddenly have a false sense of security just because a bar offers Angel Shots.
