  • I was at a professional development conference offered by my union yesterday. 3/4 of the presenters I went to were using their management-owned accounts (and in one case, a management-owned device!). Now, none of the topics were about unionism–it was all how to be better at our jobs, but I couldn’t wrap my head around it… and they put up QR codes for us to access on our phones, and guess what? The links wouldn’t work for me because I refuse to put any work shit on my personal phone, so I wasn’t logged into my work account, and therefore didn’t have permission to view the document. I just could not believe that people were surprised…


  • I went to an Indian place once and asked the waiter to make my food spicy. It was kinda medium-spicy, and when the waiter asked if it was spicy enough, I–stupid white boy I am–said no. He took the dish back to the kitchen. He returned a little later with the chef. They both watched me take a bite and regret my decision. Through the tears, I told them the Spice was just right. They laughed.

    I’m well aware of how screwed I got… I’m hoping that in the next year or so I’ll be able to re-litigate with a different lawyer. I was so desperate to get out of that marriage, I took some bad advice.

    My biggest problem is that my life hasn’t been the most stable since I left her. The sick amount of money I have to give her every month certainly hasn’t helped.

    Uhhh, I’m a Xennial and this hits hard. I am basically paying for her mortgage with the amount of money I have to give my ex every month. She has always had zero ambition, so I was always getting raises, and by the time we split, our finances were in two very different places, so the court said I have the luxury of paying her monthly just to be rid of her.
