TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 Some creepy person got a hold of my number. They texted me a lot of messages, and a lot of them had profanity. A few of them had the worst swear word. It freaked me out, and we had to block the texts from that person. Sometimes I regret having a used number. That is rather... horrific. Yeah, that's one way to put it. Text them back: "She never loved you, you know." See if that makes them stop. It probably wouldn't. At best, the creepy texts would change to creepy flirting ones. At worst, this creeper might try and call, repeatedly. Blocking them is the best option here. 1
Kobold King he/him Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 It probably wouldn't. At best, the creepy texts would change to creepy flirting ones. At worst, this creeper might try and call, repeatedly. Blocking them is the best option here. 'Twas only a jest. For realsies though, that's pretty terrible. I'm sorry this creep is spooking you, Allomancy. 1
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 "TWI! DO THIS THING I COULD DO EASILY! Meanwhile, I'll criticize your method and the choices that led you to this moment, small though it is in the grand scheme of things, and despite my utter lack of context." Yeah, Dad, love you too. 3
Allomancy she/her Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 'Twas only a jest. For realsies though, that's pretty terrible. I'm sorry this creep is spooking you, Allomancy. Yeah. Spook is creeping Allomancy. That blindfold really scares me. I did reply telling the person that they were a creep (not the best idea, I know), and they told me that I was the creep. That person is blocked now. *pheuf*. 1
Kaymyth she/her Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 Yeah. Spook is creeping Allomancy. That blindfold really scares me. I did reply telling the person that they were a creep (not the best idea, I know), and they told me that I was the creep. That person is blocked now. *pheuf*. See, now the most appropriate response to that (right before blocking, of course, so that you get in the last word) is, "Your face is a creep." 7
SmurfAquamarineBodies he/him Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 See, now the most appropriate response to that (right before blocking, of course, so that you get in the last word) is, "Your face is a creep." No,no.no. Just say 'I like what you did with your lounge, though blood red would be a better wall colour.' 1
Kaymyth she/her Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 So, there's a parade tomorrow for the Royals. This is not an inherently bad thing. What is bad is that all of the local schools are closing. The parents in my office are livid. They don't have alternate childcare options available, so they're going to have to take an unplanned day off of work (thus messing with some of their planned holiday time off) just because the freakin' schools chose to close. Parents are furious. Teachers are furious. And now another coworker, Mr. Wiseguy McSmirkyface in the next aisle from me, who is laughing at the parents who are having to scramble. RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEIR FACES. I can't even with this guy right now. Must. Restrain. Fist. 8
ThirdGen Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 (edited) They're closing the schools? Seriously, KC? Edited November 2, 2015 by ThirdGen
Orlion Blight he/him Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 Behold, the scourge of civilized society known as "sports". 9
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 Behold, the scourge of civilized society known as "sports". I used to think sports, especially school sports, were fine. Annoying, but not harmful. Like the High School Musical soundtrack. Then, I worked for a public high school library for a year. At the end of it, they laid me off because of budget cuts. No big deal, right? A city bond failed to pass because it was worded poorly, so naturally they wouldn't have money in the budget for nonessential positions like mine. At the end of the year, there was a mandatory staff assembly….where administration unveiled their plans to renovate the football field and the front lobby. When I walked into the library, I beheld my replacement: two enormous flatscreen TVs. Yes, Orlion. Sports are the scourge of society. 9
+Slowswift Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 Basically the whole plot of Lemonade Mouth. [/obscure disney channel reference] 2
Mashadar Mistborn he/him Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 My school: "We could get more books for the library and updated textbooks so we could teach the most up to date concepts, and educate like we are supposed to. Or we could get some pretty new uniforms for the football team." Guess which one they did. 5
Orlion Blight he/him Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 What I hate most about sports is its compulsory nature.Kaymyth's co-workers are being compelled to celebrate the World Series victory, despite whither they actually care or not. Your interests don't matter, the quality of education, the safety of players, all of that needs to be sacrificed for spectator sport. 2
+Slowswift Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 So the internet on our computer... isn't working. We suspect a virus, as literally everything on the wires and router checks out, yet the network troubleshooter can't identify the problem. Which is annoying, because there are things I want to post (such as a concert report from Saturday) that I can't because mobile kinda sucks for long, detailed posts with links and images and stuff.
Kaymyth she/her Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 They're closing the schools? Seriously, KC? Word on the street is that at least some of the districts are actually worried that if they tried to have school tomorrow, not enough teachers/staff will show up to be able to run it. Seriously? If we can't get these people to adult, what hope have we for the rest of humanity? Behold, the scourge of civilized society known as "sports". You know, I don't mind it on a theoretical basis. I actually enjoy baseball, to some extent, and I get that the competitive team-ness of it provides an outlet for our more primal us vs. them instincts in a more productive way than something awful like war. But...seriously, KC? You were so classy last night! WHY?

Your interests don't matter, the quality of education, the safety of players, all of that needs to be sacrificed for spectator sport. Fortunately, I don't have kids, so I can blithely ignore the whole bleeping thing. Except for the part where 2/3 of the floor are going to be out of the office, leaving the rest of us completely swamped with the calls that we know are going to come in.... 2
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 I wish my mom would stop spoiling Bruce so much. It's not that I don't intend to spoil him myself, because I do, but it's making me nervous that no matter how much I give him, she gives him more. I sneak him a bite from the table, she sneaks him two. I'm housebreaking him by rewarding him with treats when he does his business outside, and when I told my mom not to give him a treat for going outside and doing nothing, she went on for some minutes about what a jerk I was. And I know Bruce can't understand her, but still. It makes me worry she's "getting back" at me for making Mollie love me by trying to make Bruce love her more. 1

Only come home with him for meals and sleep?
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 Possible to get out at all? Only come home with him for meals and sleep? I'm not sure where I could go. I stay at home when I'm not working so I can apply for jobs, and the only places I know of that offer free wifi (library, Starbucks) don't allow dogs.

TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 I don't really have any RL friends. I took classes online, and didn't have much chance to connect with anyone....which is part of why I need to wait to do any big rebellious things until after I move out, because if I get kicked out on my pitiful salary, I'm screwed. Delightful, I might do that after the weather cools. It's still reaching 85-90 degrees F most days, and even though I could stand it for a while, pugs don't do well in the heat.

Buy an extra small water dish and pack extra water?
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 Buy an extra small water dish and pack extra water? I'll do that as a last resort. My mom might also take it as a threat or an admission of guilt for something or another, so that'll be what I do if I've exhausted every other option. Though whatever she's doing doesn't seem to be working. Bruce still wants to sit with me over everyone else, follows me all over, and is currently dozing with his face pressed into my ankle. 2
Briar King Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 Just ensure he has the most fun of any human with you and problem solved. My mutt knows who he's going to come to if multiple people are calling him even if they have food. He likes it ruff ha so I'll pop him over the head or push him out the way when I walk by and then he ll give chase. He's big though unlike a pug. Retriever/Chow mix. I can't do it as ruff ha as I used to since he's 7 and getting older. Note I do it in a playful way obviously. 2
Seonid he/him Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 Somehow, I managed to hit myself in the face with my racquetball racquet today. I think it bounced off of a wall or something. But now my nose is swelling up... 2
