Struggle Thread mk II - No one likes us, we don't care

[Yeti]

Paper towels aren't so bad. At least you didn't have to resort to tissues

[Atramental]

I'm now in the preliminary stages of a head cold and I have so much work I need to do this week.   

[Kara]

Was made aware of an intern who is fucking up basic double entry accounting shit

i had to talk through the criteria for a valid tax invoice with someone who claims to have worked in tax for almost 5 years

Someone was telling me about a bookkeeper this firm brought in from a company  (i.e. not in the industry) and they ran into some online banking problems so they video recorded the problems. With account information uncensored. On a phone that wasn't secure.

I mean we all probably cross the best practices line wrt privacy from time to time, but that?

I also thought it was weird that they'd go to lengths like that. If you don't do your work you can't hide it so there's not really the Foucauldian nightmare based upon mistrust that you have in corporate bureaucracies.

[Phoenix Dark]

Were these people above the age of 31?

[Kara]

Yes. And a breeder.

[fistfulofmetal]

Got denied by Google's Project Fi to buy a Nexus 6P with their payment plan. Bunch of bullshit.

[Samson Manhug]

Lost control of a company pickup on a dirt road and drove into a ditch at 45-55mph and flipped it several times. I'm fine, really couldn't be better considering the severity of the accident, but this is the shirt the EMT was wearing:

[Mr Gilhaney]

My mom just called and said we might have to put my dog down tomorrow. 


I say my dog, but it's my moms really. But we got it when I was about 16, and I spent a lot of time time with. Been getting sicker and sicker over the past few years, got some tumors on its belly, that it has been living fine with for a few years, the vets have told us are too big and dangerous to remove.

Glad you're okay, Samson, must have been quite the oh shit moment. I hope your employer is understanding as well

Sorry about your dog

Now you have a near death experience to share with voters during your congressional run

[Kara]

Pls b careful Sam. The Bore can't lose its #1 husbando.

[Samson Manhug]

I think I'm about to quit. "Sorry about your truck. My last day will be next week. Please understand."

Sorry to hear about your dog, Mr. Gilhaney.

[Rahxephon91]

So does it make sense to encourage your friend to break up with his gf if that sounds well... Sane? Because that's what I did and I've unlocked a world of drama for it.

My friend never has anything positive to say about her. I mean I've never heard anything good about her. It's just about how crazy she is. She doesn't want him talking to any other girls, had to delete every girl off his Facebook, is not really supposed to be talking to anyone else, can't even talk to people in online games, has to talk to her everyday to check in and so on. He also seems to have to pay for her apartment and other things. When they back to Chicago he has to pay for her ticket. Anytime an argument happens she threatens to kill herself.

She sounds terrible and even his own mother thinks she's controlling and terrible.

Then again I don't know anything about relationships and this is only his side. Yet it's not quite a year old, shouldn't this be the lovey Dovey phase. If it's already stressful shouldn't you get out?

That's what I think and I've suggested it many times. Dude is basicly my brother so I care but at the same time I know he's pussy whipped. He'll stay in a relationship for the sake of it, to feel basicly the idea that anyone cares for him. Which is a bad combination with someone who may be overly dependent.

Anyway, I guess he actually tried to pull the trigger and mentioned me.

Big mistake.

As now I've gotten endless messages from this girl. How I'm terrible for giving that advice, how I'm hurting her, and so on. I mean she's been writing me research papers on how I'm a monster.

I don't think I did anything terrible. About the douchyiest thing I said is that I don't want to ever meet her and I don't after she's gone off on me.

So I know they will get back together and come back to Chicago and well I really don't ever want to interact with this person.

Whole thing has me annoyed.

[Take My Breh Away]

Job I interviewed for on Monday asked me for to write some spec articles before an imaginary deadline just to test production. I sent them in about hours before deadline today. Haven't heard a response back from them at all. 

[studyguy]

A friend of mine gave me like the worst dead leg I've ever had in my life to the shin/thigh.
Like an asshole he came running at my ass and kneed me in the front side of my shin then on my thigh.

My shin's still feels all fucked up this morning. 
The fuck brehs, I haven't gotten one of these since like middle school.

[Great Rumbler]

Had to go to the ER today because of some serious pain in my lower abdomen. Results came back that it's an inflamed colon, likely caused by diverticulitis [which is super-rare for people under 30]. I gotta take some antibiotics and then go get a colonoscopy in a couple of weeks.

[Madrun Badrun]

I'm sorry you have to get something shoved up your butt Rumbler, I truly am.  I hope your colon cools off soon.

Its all good breh, every dude gets a finger shoved up their ass sooner or later.





....for medical reasons of course 

[Kara]

Sorry GR. Get well soon.

[ToxicAdam]

 Any way to blame Taco Bell? I smell an opportunity.

sorry to hear that GR. Sounds like you need to add some fiber to your diet.

[Great Rumbler]

Yeah, I don't generally get much fiber, but I'll start taking a fiber supplement every day alongside my multivitamin.

Also, the struggle has become a triumph now that I've climbed aboard the codeine train.

Holy mackerel, I hope you get it taken care of soon. If it's any consolation, diverticulitis also managed to take to Brock Lesnar, so if you weren't feeling tough, you should now.

If the Taco Bell near you smells like infected colon, you need to select a different Taco Bell.

Went down on my girl last night, had a bunch of toilet paper stuck to her vagina

[Human Snorenado]

Get well soon, Rumbler.

Also, had a potential triumph turn into an epic fail Saturday night, brehs. Went out on a date with a woman and, uh... shit didn't work when we got back to her place. First time that's ever happened to me.

[Rufus]

Went down on my girl last night, had a bunch of toilet paper stuck to her vagina 

At least she dabs. Be glad.

[Madrun Badrun]

At least she didn't sneeze and blow out a bunch of confetti into your face while your friends and family turn on the lights and shout happy birthday. 

[Phoenix Dark]

Went down on my girl last night, had a bunch of toilet paper stuck to her vagina 

I shit you not, I literally spit out the water I was drinking when I read this. At work. Fuck me.   

[Madrun Badrun]

Did you clean it up with toilet paper?

[studyguy]

Been there.

This is why I'm forever grateful that my current girl insists on having wet wipes in the bathroom.
Baby wipes is where it's at brehs.
 

[Phoenix Dark]

there are worse things you can find in your gf's vagina brehs.

spoiler (click to show/hide)

like gonorrhea.

[king of the internet]

Think I might be catching some mild feelings for a girl. Just gotta stay strong until this passes.   

[Tasty]

Yeah, like another guy's dikk

[TakingBackSunday]

I use baby wipes too.  Gonna have to get her on the wipe train

How you handle this could determine whether your relationship lasts or fails. Tread lightly.

[TakingBackSunday]

 

I told her straight to her face that she had TP on her vag and she started busting out laughing and apologizing

[studyguy]

That's the one 

[Phoenix Dark]

 

[Kara]

So basically she doesn't expect you to go down on her.

[Steve Contra]

Brandnew taking any advice he can get.

[Steve Contra]

Had my worst panic attack in 2 years.

Do you have panic attacks or anxiety attacks?

[Human Snorenado]

Had the first non-shitty, non-rainy day of weather in over a week today. I sat outside for an hour and a half and got a nasty fucking sunburn, because I'm a moron.

[Steve Contra]

Also a pasty ginger

[Human Snorenado]

I am NOT a ginger

[Kara]

People are getting wise to the fact that I use the March / April / September / October 15th deadline to get out of making casual conversation or plans. fml.

[Van Cruncheon]

got moved into a team room from my posh office, which i now share with a veep and two general managers. on the plus side, i'm in DA CLUB. on the down side, my internetting time has been shredded. on the plus plus side, i think beating r-type in front of them (on my old portable psone) will net me a bigger bonus than any work i've done; they were all OMG YOU'RE AMAZING (who the fuck knew? god bless nerds). on the minus minus side, i don't/won't golf and one of the motherfuckers listens to dave matthews ALL DAY.

i also got called a hipster by 25 yr. old junior pm yesterday. i have no beard, wear regular jeans, have a cornball non-coiffure, and despise urban self-sufficiency. that said, my non-ironic ironic game is straight up jordan-class balla and i drink shit pissbeer in public, so maybe he recognizes cac greatness under all the nondescript dorkitude.

You're a 40 year old that has a motorcycle fetish and just got a tattoo. You're clearly not a hipster but a sad cac going through a midlife crisis. Sheesh. These people.

[Kara]

Drinky with that fresh tribal ink.

[Madrun Badrun]

Does your tattoo say 'Ceci n'est pas une hipster'? or is it just a picture of you on a motorcycle?

[nudemacusers]

you don't know the half of it

Actually you've gone überhipster by postironically sporting hardcore norm core couture, day in, day out.

You fucking hipster.

[Human Snorenado]

PD and Walrus- you guys would be more effective trolls if you didn't constantly back up each other's shitposting on like, every topic. Awful music, GURM/ASoIaF worship, etc. One of you pick one and defend it to the death, the other do the other, don't post backing each other up. I just ignore you these days. So predictable.

The only winning move is not to play.

[Phoenix Dark]

No troll, I legit like some DMB. I've shat on them before as a collective band but they have multiple tracks I like.

It's not my fault that Walrus has good taste and a master's degree.
