What's all the ethanol for?

It seems super beta-male not to say to a direct supervisor, "I've already made arrangements with HR regarding my temporary medical needs. I'm sure you'll understand why I'd prefer not to discuss something so private with anyone but them. If you'll excuse.me I have goal xyz to accomplish today."

This is assuming they're an immediate supervisor who has nothing to do with payroll or time off--just immediate project management.

You guys are probably on a whole different (higher) level, but I'm an "always promoted, president of everything I've ever done" type, and witnessing, nevermind tolerating, such behavior would never occur to me. It just wouldn't happen.
HR does payroll, but management has final say so of what happens with PTO.

And, I didn't have anything worked out with HR with my medical problems. Just before I did.

Office politics sucks. I'd like to think that I'm winning, though. I have pretty good job security, and if I were to be fired unjustly, the company would lose 25% of their total sales within a few months.
I came over with a team that this company bought from another company. The 2 salespeople and the project manager would find a new home with a better deal. With those 3 gone, the rest of the old team would leave also which is all of their estimating department, and 3/4s of their supervising team.

We've always stuck up for each other, and we've changed companies together a number of times.

Basically, I didn't do anything wrong by being sick. I didn't question their authority by arguing with them. I didn't start a fight by telling them to go **** themselves with their speech. I went to my HR for advice, like we're instructed to do. I also worked without any kind of bad attitude. Model employee type stuff there

You're supposed to be getting the money so your wife can stay at home.

Know your gender role, jabroni.

I always assume it is jealousy or guilt.

Other.
If household can afford for SAHM mom, then more power to it. Unless SAHM is like the typical rich woman, who leaves kid at daycare and ****s off all day or leaves with nanny.

Man. I put it on nsync radio for a flashback. Apparently, I don't remember a lot of the song lyrics from then. So much cheese... And badness

I would do 1992-1997 first, and then 1999-2004.

If I were the type of person to host/go to parties, I would definitely like that kind of party. It would have to be 1995-2000 for me.

Probably a sign of time well spent. I don't regret the years I spent drunk and dancing but I acknowledge your alternate lifestyle and its strengths.

That's the thing I'm not Jj old, but most music nowadays is very Jackson influenced which I don't find pleasing in the least
09-17-2015 , 01:17 PM
The only music I find displeasing is new country. I like everything else. From metal to pop to classical.

Seriously. I probably spend not less than 2 hours/week on each of the above three.
