Say it here cause you can't say it directly- the get it off your chest thread (Part 1)

Last night was prom, and my daughter looked stunning. She went and had the time of her life, both at the prom and afterprom at the Copa in NYC. Home safe, sound (and sober…just sayin’) by 5 am.

She had a lot of ups and downs in high school. It looks like she’s leaving on an absolute up.

I had no idea pantyhose are out!

I am sorry you had traumatizing childhood experience, but how the heck does that relate to your irrational animosity to international students? What evidence do you have to claim that they are cheating systems, especially in a time like this?

Thank you for listening to your son about this.

Dear IRS,

When we pay you via direct debit from our checking account BEFORE the funds are even due, why do you then send us an overdue notice and try to collect that sum again PLUS penalties and interest?!?!?

I sure hope the CPA will handle this and make it go away, since I sent them your notice as well as our proof of payment. Sheesh! Go after the bad guys filing fraudulent refunds instead of those of us who are doing our best to follow your crazy, ever-changing rules.

Thanks!

I know you’re not downsizing, but do you need to stuff even more stuff into your house? A “second kitchen” in the basement? When you’re getting iffy at going up and down stairs? What are you going to make down there, right next to that big, nasty boiler? I will see this as a lesson - I will not do this to my kids.

Feeling obnoxious at the moment. Good comments- those who said what I would have. The others- you don’t care what I think…

I will not be starting that conversation.

oh my god, I feel so embarrased. First I get the location name wrong, then I call wrong number. How silly…

So what you are planning on is what the rest of us call insurance fraud (sigh). I really hope it doesn’t come through for you, because if it does, I’ve got a major dilemma at hand with that whole “how thick is blood vs water” bit. May there be some investigator somewhere who notices all you can do without issues when you want to vs how disabled you are with the doctor and in public. Sticking my head in the sand isn’t one of my better abilities when I see what you are planning. It’s irritating to say the least.

I’m using my prerogative to reply to a post.

No, that’s not right. BTW, I deleted the quoted post.

FWIW, we are not omniscient. We have no recent flagged posts on this thread, so if this post relates to a specific post, you need to tell us.

I have stated on earlier on this thread that “say it here” posts must still comply with the forum rules. We don’t allow closed threads to be revived, and we do expect users to be civil to one another.

Facebook poster: you didn’t like his “attitude” and think it’s “tasteless” for a show to depict delicacies from faraway lands because there is famine in Africa? What’s tasteless is speaking ill of the dead before they are even cold in their grave. And you are clergy. Be a good role model. Sheesh.

Please, please don’t get back together with the boyfriend who never appreciated you enough. I secretly view his breaking up with you as a graduation present to me.

You don’t get to call my employee unprofessional when you were the one who tried poach him while I was out of the office. Don’t be surprised if you are not able to staff your project.

Bureaucracy is infuriating. I get a notice that I’ve been caught on a camera making a right on red without stopping…except it’s very clearly not me. I send back the affidavit of nonliability and the next freaking day I get a summons from the court requiring me to pay or appear in court. So nice that they waited to review the response. And then they complain about crowded traffic court schedules! Geez, I wonder why.

Yay! Old boss has been moved to the ‘bench’. New boss is prior military and already seems like a breath of fresh air. Can’t wait to see what he does to get us back on track. Four years of a non-listening, don’t read your emails boss to one that actually comes in before 0900, I don’t know how to act…

Just so frustrated at the direction my former employer is taking. I stayed a year longer than I wanted to, trying to get the new staff off to a strong start. Worked so many unpaid hours training, writing a manual … It’s disappointing to see some of the changes being made, not because they’re better ideas or better for the organization, but because they’re just … easier. Change is necessary but it isn’t always better. Eh.

Saw David Crosby the other night. What memories of such an god-awful spring.

"Tin soldiers and Nixon’s coming
We’re finally on our own
This summer I hear the drumming
Four dead in Ohio

Gotta get down to it
Soldiers are gunning us down
Should have been done long ago
What if you knew her and
Found her dead on the ground
How can you run when you know

Ah, la la la la…

You are truly gutless. Not even a phone call or email. No acknowledgement of the emails I sent. Clearly you’ve decided that you don’t want what I bring to the table. Your shortsightedness is going to cause a lot of difficulty and trouble for others. OTOH, I am free!

Let me Google that for you… [-(
