I keep getting surprised time and time again over how terrible the company is that I work for is.
Thank god almighty I'm out of here soon.
Apparently I have some weird hybrid accent where all of my english relatives tell me how Australian I sound, but every aussie can instantly label me as a Pom
Holy shit, he must have the luck of 10 men because someone in his personnel shop heard what happened, had a heart, and funnily enough the debt was chalked up as a "clerical error" and vanished. I cannot tell you how relieved we are. It physically hurt to see him like that.
Thought I'd pop in and say hi, it's certainly been a while since I've posted in here! But I've got freedom to do whatever I please now after getting out, as I realise it now, an abusive as FUCK relationship with a girl from the US.
How are we all?

I was just gonna suggest a law suit.

Funny thing is, a lawsuit wouldn't be possible. The government is well within their rights to do this kind of thing. Like I said, it is simply balancing the books to them. They gave you too much money, they are 100% within the law to take it back. It's one of the bad parts about being a government employee.

Governmental laws can change due to court rulings. You're not rich and don't have a civil rights group to back your case with good lawyers, but still.
So I'm learning French still, and I'm struggling with the difference between all of the prepositions. For example, why use "sur" instead of "pour" to mean "to" when both also have other meanings? How should I know when reading or listening which meaning is implied?

Unfortunately they could still make life hell for his boyfriend in regards to his employment and treatment while they're both still in the service. It could end up that one of them could just lose all income whatsoever while they go to court.
Things like this are why my grandfather, despite being an AF Vet of 30yrs, suggested I don't go into the armed forces (that and the way the AF changed during his 30yrs but thats another discussion entirely)

boss completed her coup at work, comes to me this morning while I'm discussing something with a coworker "get to work, keegan!"
I go sit down, and she comes over and puts her hand on my shoulder.
"In my new position, I'm in charge of [I]all[/I] project staffing decisions. Just so you know."
Intern next to me: "Is that a threat?"
Boss: "No, this is an [I]opportunity[/I]." :v:

Wow, such a stupid power trip. Like can she be anymore blunt about it.
I guess I wasn't clear:
- My boss ousted someone who was grossly incompetent, sexist, and homophobic and took pride in offending people. He tried to "knock my boss down a few pegs" because she was being "bossy" (doing her job). Once in a meeting on International Flag Day he said "I better pronounce that L in International Flag Day, or someone might get "offended"". I called him out on it :v
- She got promoted to head of R&D. My boss is super fucking competent and good at what she does, and now has more power to stop poor decisions that were previously paralyzing us as the individual she removed tried to micromanage (the opposite of what he should do) and worked behind the backs of our project/line managers.
- More importantly relevant to my post, she has a very sardonic sense of humor so what she said was entirely a joke. She complimented me (within earshot) several times to the person who would need me full-time and has me starting work today that will secure a full-time position for me. And she has that power because of her coup
My boss was just joking with the opportunity bit, she's really quite nice and isn't on a power trip at all. Without her help I wouldn't have this job at all, from when I started as in intern to the past 9 months of part-timing to the upcoming full-time opportunity.

toss out any preconceptions of work atmosphere you might have, lol. bitches/blet has heard many stories that go against what you'd expect as conventional workplace atmosphere haha
Aw that's sweet. Still, I wouldn't cross her, so make sure you give her whatever she wants.
And you know, take those opportunities. :v:
[I]runs away[/I]
That's good to hear, she sounds pretty cool. Context and my sarcasm detector don't work too well over the internets. :v:

It's not you, I can totally see how my post was perceived without context. So I gave context :D
there's a nude beach just miles away from my house
might visit tomorrow
I wanna go to the nude beach near me tbh, but not in winter cause it's fucking cold
I don't think I would ever have the guts to visit a nude beach.
Welp its my birthday, time to prep for coming out to my parents
Good luck.
[QUOTE=Political Gamer;52538639]Welp its my birthday, time to prep for coming out to my parents[/QUOTE]
Wishing you all the best.
And happy birthday! :dance:
Good luck. It might go better than you expect. My dad is from the deep south, and he just said, "Ok. When can I meet the boyfriend?" I hope it goes well for you.
Honestly, knowing my parents, they have no need to know about my stance until it's needed.
The only one in my "family" who knows, is my sister.
My dad gave me the best response possible when I came out to him. "Okay, and?" and that was that.
I came out as bi to my mom years ago, who was distressed but eventually accepting. Told her not to tell my dad though.
Yet one day he goes and asks her and she just flat out tells him under the excuse that she was raised not to lie.
And then I get to know he knows during a very heated argument and I am left emotionally shattered that day. Wasn't fun, but at least I know my dad doesn't really give a shit what I am. But still... There would be a while before I could really trust my mom again.
I never bothered coming out to my parents since ill just be single forever
I got lucky, my parents are both pretty accepting. Other family, on the other hand...
[QUOTE=Naught;52538926]I never bothered coming out to my parents since ill just be single forever[/QUOTE]
Doubtful.
I never came out to my mum. She just knew cos I used to disappear out with a very camp guy a lot :v:
I never had to come out, my mum just guessed after I started seeing my first bf quite frequently :v: quite lucky really becasue I'd never have had the guts to come out of my own accord. Luckily all my family were accepting of it too, I had no idea how anyone would react.

Not unusual to think that way.
