Gay Chat V11 - Were you expecting something funny? - General

I've had a fantastic week in regards to work. My last job was in 2011, I got hired here (Best Buy) three months ago. Last month, I went full time and off the registers and onto the sales floor. I'm not the most social person in the world, but five days a week I can handle; this early on I haven't fully acclimated to it yet, but I can do it for five days. We're short-handed, so I'm still working five days a week, only they're being clumped together so I get two days off in the beginning of the week, work the next five days, work the FIRST five days in the next week, and then another two days off before I start it all again. So ten days in a row, eight hours a day (not counting the two hours there and back,) the fact that I'm still new at it, have little formal training (there's a sales induction class I get to go to at some point but since we're so short-handed, they can't spare me,) and am expected to meet certain quotas in revenue and services. My numbers are low, I'm exhausted all the time, there's no time to recharge socially in between shifts, because the department is busy all the time I don't have time to take any breaks (state mandated or not,) and then I lost my debit card early last week so I've been strapped for cash to get lunch this week, (I called to get a new card and had it expedited but that never went through so I had to get refunded that money and then wait a week for the card,) and I'm only two thirds of the way through. But hey, I'm lucky to have a job...

Fuck colds. At least the worst part of my cold is over. Now it's just scratchy throat and constant coughing I gotta deal with.

i just sat in the shower for like 2 hours because my hot water never runs out V:v:V

(The roof is usually open and free, was already full up though.) Premarital sex is against the law too.

Four Eyes is a ridiculously strong perk that people don't take advantage of. Goes great with energy weapons builds

Just a carry on bag and my clothes.

I think with my current, probably soon to be ex, girlfriend. Is probably the one and only time I will attempt an LDR without meeting the person first. Jesus christ she is insane, telling me I have the choice between her or my ex boyfriend as a friend on Facebook. She's currently threatening to kill herself if I don't remove him, which I'm just ignoring as it just comes off an attention seeking to me. After the con this weekend, I think I'm going to end it with her. Not prepared to deal with someone who will cry and get suicidal over the mere mention of an ex partner of mine or if I want to go do my own thing with friends, when she lives with me at the moment.

Went down to get something to eat at 7 AM, dad was there getting ready for work, said he was tired of me not being able to sleep so he was considering taking away internet access to force me to sleep. When I said that won't work and never has whenever I've had trouble sleeping, he ignored it. Holy shit I hate my dad. He's living 30 years ago.

I don't even know what's up if she's trying to be so controlling, though obviously the old suicide card is the best sign everything is seriously messed up. I don't know why you keep ending up with the crazy girls though.

[QUOTE=~Kiwi~v2;46110578]I took wild west perk in my second run. I quite regret it. Badly :v:[/QUOTE] I quite liked the Wild Wasteland perk just because it was kinda cool to accidentally stumble across the weird encounters. (Except for at Hoover Dam. If I hear "BRAVO BRAVO CHARLIE, THE DOCTOR IS COMING" one more time after it repeated 900 times...)

I checked my bank account and I didn't get paid yet, and all I have home is rice, butter and two bottles of tea. And I have to pay bills in two days.

The reason we had the hospital bill a few months back, was due to the fact she got super angry and stormed onto the ice when a friend of mine mentioned his ex (second ex girlfriend of mine as well), in which she fell over. Now it's because I'm still kinda friends with exes, and don't hold anything against them. I just don't hold a grudge unless someone does something absolutely horrible. I guess it's just my luck and finding girls in the furry fandom. I don't really meet anyone any other way now.

If someone threatens suicide if you leave them, what can you actually do anyway? If it gets to that point the relationship doesn't seem salvageable but you can't stay just for the sake of it.

that sounds like the biggest headache ever, end that shit asap you seem like a social person, im sure you'll find someone else, hopefully someone who is actually normal

Just her getting back to the states is a pain. I can't afford a flight, and she certainly can't either. Makes it hard as she will have to stay at mine until she leaves.

I'm always an overthinker. I just can't stop thinking about the whole "what could have been/should have been/ would have been" scenarios if i did "this" instead of "that" or if i did "that" before "this" and stuff and it makes me doubt my current state with everything important to me like my job, relationship, life, money and so on.... I need to get out of this frame of mind before i do something stupid like break off my amazing relationship or quit this really good progressive job or move out of my house before im financially table.

So I asked my friend how I smelled since I was trying a new body wash, and he said I smelled 'like a french rose.' So... I smell like cheese, wine, and surrender? [editline]30th September 2014[/editline] It's just weird, I've never head anything called a 'french' rose.

[editline]30th September 2014[/editline] It's just weird, I've never head anything called a 'french' rose.[/QUOTE] Smells are all opinionated. So something in that body wash probably smells like something he has experienced with french culture.

[QUOTE=Animosus;46111552]Just her getting back to the states is a pain. I can't afford a flight, and she certainly can't either. Makes it hard as she will have to stay at mine until she leaves.[/QUOTE] Not having enough money for both flights seems like an extremely big oversight.

She came in with $6k, which is plenty for a flight, how she spent it all is beyond me.

How long has it been? [editline]30th September 2014[/editline] Because it seems to me that someone who's manipulative like that could easily lie about not having the money to have an excuse to not leave.

If it gets to that point the relationship doesn't seem salvageable but you can't stay just for the sake of it.[/QUOTE] Contact friends or family, let them know that you can't be expected to help her, that she's in pain and your presence is part of the reason. Then it's their job. If family and friends are scarce or unhelpful you refer them to a professional. Your life and their life are seperate, you should not have to sacrifice any aspect of your life for theirs, especially if you don't actually like them. You get them help as any decent person who doesn't know them would, and then you leave knowing that you have done the best that can be expected. You might help a drunk man to a taxi or to an ambulance, but you aren't expected to go with them to the hospital or home and help him with his alcohol problem. [QUOTE=Animosus;46111552]Just her getting back to the states is a pain. I can't afford a flight, and she certainly can't either. Makes it hard as she will have to stay at mine until she leaves.[/QUOTE] A couple of things. First you haven't broken up with her yet right? I don't fully know the situation and you are making it pretty clear she's not exactly sane but if you sit down and have the conversation with her and tell her that the crazy behaviour is making the relationship untennable maybe (not exactly high hopes) she'll snap out of it. Give her the benefit of the doubt. Expect a reasonable adult conversation about it all. If that's not what you get, if she starts the suicide talk up or other abusive behaviour then you have got to be serious about it. The fact is that you can't let her stay on at your place after you break up. It's an absolute recipe for disaster. If you are living in the same place as her while she is trying to get back up and off to the US again her motivation to actually work towards getting out will probably be near zero. She doesn't have any friends other than yours here in Australia (I imagine) and she (still imagining) probably doesn't really have that much to look forward to in the US either. The investment she's made is in you, she won't let go so easily. If she isn't serious about the depression/suicide then you've got to get her out and it sucks because you don't want to do that to a person but you're also not interested in her being in your life anymore and exhausting yourself by keeping her around isn't something that you want to waste time on. So if she threatens suicide again take her to a doctor or straight to a psychologist - to avoid paying too much maybe get a bulk billing session with your doctor with just you, explain her situation and you want to know if there is a psychologist (not a doctor/psychiatrist, a psychologist specialising in relationships will do) you can go to without a referral that will help with this problem then pay the $150 for an hour session - tell her if she keeps making those threats the only thing you can do is take her to a professional. Regardless, if she continues abusive behaviour like that really try and get her to stay with a friend of yours. I would suggest just kicking her out but that's more than a little harsh considering she's in a foreign country. She can't stay with you until she leaves because the chances of her working toward leaving are slim, it'd just be you paying for the airfare. Your continued presence and contact with each other after a break up like that is not helping either of you. She's bringing you down, you're going to be a constant reminder to her of how it's all her fault (whether or not it is, the first thing people do after a break up is blame themselves or their actions - at least that's basically what I do when relationship problems arise: "what could I have done differently???") so she won't be helped by your presence other than a roof over her head. If all else fails you can keep her there knowing that you will be fully liable for her trip back to the US and any problems that arise inbetween, or you can find a womans shelter. This is mostly hypothetical. I hope you can get an adult conversation with her and if this whole issue with exs and psychoness is the only problem you have with your relationship she will wake up to that and stop the jealousy. Or at least she stops threatening suicide and she doesn't have to find another place to stay. It may also be that the problems go deeper than that and they stem from somewhere else. It sucks it would cost a fortune to get an appointment with a psychologist they can really help and the first 6 sessions are basically free if you're a citizen.

Just had a job interview, it wasnt great but it wasnt bad, i reckon i have a decent shot at the job.
