I'm not intending to be argumentative.
I believe you are telling me this because you have done it and that it is possible. It just seems really intimidating to me. When someone suggested SS, I thought I could do and it wasn't scary to me.

M,

I’d never tell you anything based on what I have done or can do, that wouldn’t make sense.

What I said you can do is based on knowledge of what people like you (speaking in terms of physical ability) are able to do.

Again, I’m not recommending it or saying I think you should do it. There was a suggestion from another poster that you do more cardio. I was just letting you know what is possible if you wanted to do that.

I'm trying to maximize happiness, especially after coming out of a sever depression. Poker makes me happy, running for hours on the weekends does not. Losing weight makes me happy. If losing 4lbs a month gives me the most happiness and I'm doing the workouts that I enjoy, then I'm going to do that.

Nothing to do with making excuses or not having my priorities in the right order. Being happy and being healthy mentally are the priorities.

Look at this crap my boss sends....it's so ******ed, and makes me feel like she is talking to me like a toddler that went potty for the first time. She is always like, "OMG, wow!!!!Woo hoo!!! Boom!!!" For the most normal, mundane things. Jeeze, just act normal. If I actually do something noteworthy say something (without exclamation points), but otherwise nothing need be said or done.

M,

I suspect if your boss didn’t say or do anything you’d be in here complaining that you did a good job at this thing and your boss didn’t even acknowledge it.

Nah. She started doing disingenuous, very transparent things in an attempt to manipulate after her meeting with her boss too. Like she sent a power point presentation, about stupid **** of course, and ask what I thought could make it better. Delete it, that would make it better.


Did you notice how she slipped in "hanging a sign"? *Eyeroll

Say what you will about M, but her contempt for exclamation marks is on point.

M,

Do you ever consider just trying to do a good job instead of looking for **** to complain about?

"You are the bomb!"

I say things like this to my young relatives when I want them to know how "rad" I am because I'm "hip" to the new lingo kids use these days.

Thanks for the call out.

I do complain way too much and I've been trying to work on that. I'm feeling a little bitchy today from lack of sleep this week, so I'll try to recognize when I'm getting complainy and stop it.

Have you ever dealt with old people? I'm surprised she didn't put a bitmoji on the thing she left but that is standard for old people

gets overzealous complements by superior she has trouble with.
complains about lack of tact.

there is no pleasing mlylt.

When was the last time you spent hours running on the weekends?

Superficial deference? Neat. Do this with your boss.

Tuma,

The complements are fake and disproportional to the task being accomplished. She is overzealous with simple things and then is evasive when I do something big and takes credit.

She is an extreme manipulator.

Remember a few months ago I showed her something I was working on and some ideas and the very next day she had my partner and I in her office and wrote on her board the EXACT things I had explained to her and repeated to us my EXACT words I said to her the night before and was telling us she wanted us to do it acting like she just came up with everything. It was the ****ing twilight zone. Well, she still has all of it written on her board and has things strategically placed around it so that its visible, like it's framed to be seen through her glass wall. She has hung things up since then, but made it a point to hang things around what she had written. She immediately started putting in place things to make people believe it was her.

She is not a good or genuine person. Anything she says or does she thinks will benefit her in some way.

Jamakin's head definitely exploded by the end of that post.

MLY, even though people are giving you a hard time for complaining about that email based on your history with your boss, it's a rediculous email and you are completely justified in rolling your eyes at it and posting it as lol-worthy.

Babs would have printed out that email and framed it.

Yay yay yay! Code3 bought me Starting Strength. I've been searching for it everywhere at half priced books and some other places.

Do you have some sort of problem with Amazon?

Amazon:

Starting Strength

Paperback: $23.59
Kindle: $9.99

Lol, olds and their clunky ****hole books.

I don't do electronic books.
I was trying to get it on the cheap, and it's fun running around to different book stores and browsing. Half price books have these bundles of 4-5 books for like $2. I have like 6 books in my que to read, but still like finding new ones lol.
Had I ordered it myself, it would have taken away the opportunity for Code3 to do something sweet as well.

I really like this girls shoulders. She is fit, but still looks really feminine.

She's also on a non-trivial amount of gear.

Cit so negative.

Seems like in recent episodes Code3 has become much more supportive of the workout stuff.
