Kinda looks like my ex. But with bigger balls.

I have never worked for anyone who let me say "I need to take a personal day" and left it at that. Not even months in advance. They want to know WHY. And you've just spent several posts telling me not to lie. I am NOT an idiot, and do not appreciate being called one. I am a conscientious, honest, person, who…

have you ever actually worked in the real world and had an assholish boss? Because "I need a day off to take my kid back-to-school shopping" pretty much gets you the side-eye and a trouble maker label. What a marvelous place you live where all bosses are reasonable and listen to their employees.

Shhhh! In my world, she doesn't exist!

Or, possibly, there are people who have learned over time that they have to lie and say they have a sick kid in order to get that day for shopping. Very few employers are as understanding as Ghostboobs.

The amount of jealous I am of the ladies on his balcony is unmeasurable. Who are they, and what are they doing dumping water on my future husband?

They are clearly fighting over which Star Trek captain is the greatest.

So, do we like evolutionary psych now? I can't keep up.

Don't eat shit. Eat chocolate. It tastes better.

I am in 100% agreement with you here.

I wouldn't blame the store. It was one idiot manager, and because I was already emotionally beaten down by my husband he was able to get away with it.

That baby is ten now. And I don't have any evidence.

And if I had been allowed to consult a lawyer, that's what I would have been told.

Not planned, just the truth. He was emotionally abusive, although I didn't realize it at the time, and remembering this incident makes me see another red flag I missed.

Sure, but I was just so emotionally beaten down at that point, and was getting no support from my husband. No support = actively telling me to drop it.

No, I really didn't. And my husband (who will soon be ex, as soon as the divorce goes through) was not helpful. He simply didn't want to mess with it at all and wouldn't let me call a lawyer to even see what my options were. He really made me feel that I was overreacting and should just get over it. I did write a…

He will soon be an ex-husband, as soon as the divorce goes through. He was an emotionally and sexually abusive asshole, but I hadn't really realized that at the time.

I wrote a letter to the district manager, and that manager was fired a few months later for something unrelated. *shrug*

Sure, but when you're in the middle of it, exhausted physically and emotionally, and your husband (who is emotionally abusive but you haven't realized it yet) keeps telling you to just let it go, what would you do?

No.
