She_is_my ... erm, can I just call you 'Sin' for short? ;-)

I suggest you go out for a coffee or something with your friend - just the two of you - and (calmly) explain to her exactly what's been going on. As you've been friends for so long, she should hopefully believe you and keep a closer eye on W's behaviour. If she won't listen to you then maybe you should cut your losses and find some new friends. I know that's sometimes easier said than done in Highschool, but whatever you do, don't put up with being treated so badly by the immature and insecure 'W'!

I hope that helps a little. Shit, you've just reminded me of what a bloody nightmare Highschool was for me!! At least it doesn't last forever though... ;-)

Why not try www.***********.com. it looked good only there’s hardly any one from England which is the only reason I haven’t used it much.

Period.

Some guys (and probably some girls too) seem to view you as their property once you're going out with them; so the compliments cease, the talking dries up and you slip to the bottom of his list of priorities. He's got you now, so he doesn't need to impress you anymore! *rolls eyes* Once you're not together though, he sees you as an actual person again and treats you as such. He'll try to convince you he's changed, but you know that if you were together again he would soon slide back into his customary behaviour. My ex boyfriend did exactly this to me. He treats his family the same way too. As long as he doesn't think someone's going to go away, he makes no effort with them - but still expects love and attention from them! With friends though, he's kind and attentive - all his mates say what a lovely, caring person he is... =P

My rant.

Gothic.net doesn't quite excite me the way it used to, I'm not sure why, there's fabulous members but I don't feel very much a part of the community.

I might leave this place, but that's just a maybe.

Oh well.

Blushing Heliophobe · 03-03-2006, 05:08 AM

Agh.

I'm gonna lose it.

Okay, so I work with jet fuel - JP8. This stuff has various carcinogens in it, including Benzene which causes birth defects. So, according to the Fetal Protection Act, I was removed from my regular job and here I sit on the computer.

My boss had asked me if I was considering breast feeding. I said yes, and he told me that I could stay out of the shop while I breastfed until I get out of the military.

It turns out that he thought I was getting out in '06, but I am really getting out in '07. NOW, he's telling me that I'm going straight back to work in the chemicals after my boy is born, breastfeeding or not.

Benzene is absorbed through your skin. That means I can't breastfeed my baby without passing on all the chemicals to him. But, he says that I should be feeling selfish for wanting to breastfeed my baby and that since formula is an option, I am the one putting my child at risk, not the AF.

Not only that, there is a position open for a desk job that I wanted to apply for. Someone higher ranking than my boss is trying to help me get this job, but my boss is on this kick where he wants me back in the shop and since I have 6 weeks maternity leave, he's trying to keep me from getting the new job.

FUCK, isn't that kind of like discrimination?

If I don't get this job, I think I'm going to get out on the pregnancy option before my baby is born. I don't want them telling me that I can or can't go 'express' (pump) milk, when everybody else is on a smoke break. I am tired of being in the damn military. I am just about halfway to my degree so I'm thinking of just getting out and finishing up my degree fulltime while being a SAHM.

The thing that bothers me the most is my boss constantly talking in the most PC terms that I am shortchanging the military by not being in my real job (IE PREGNANT) and how selfish it is of me to want to not go back (IE BREASTFEED) and how eventually I'm going to have to stop fishing for excuses (IE STOP WORRYING ABOUT MY CHILD'S HEALTH).

At least I'll be able to pierce my lip.

it happens, babe. i've walked away twice, only to return. i'm sure most members who've been here for a while would tell you the same. there's only so much you can lay down before you get tired of it and then, if you keep peeking in, something somewhere down the road sparks an excitement cell and ouala - you're sucked back in.

if you do split, just know you'll be missed 'til you swing through again.

and on a personal note - know you'll always be my favorite australian, banana mansion alien.http://www.gis.net/~tcjay/images/smiley/heart.gif

My Rant!

I fucking HATE gay-bashers!

I HATE you all with a firey passion!

Some of the sweetest customers I have are Transexuals. One of them had her house burnt down on New Year's Eve.

What the FUCK is wrong wqith people? What? They think that just because someone else's preference doesn't jive with their own it's okay to put that person's life in danger?

What kind of society are we living in where you're not safe being yourself?

I'd personally love to get a hold of one of those assholes. I promise they'd never be the same again.

Fucking Meh!

Die Hate-Mongerers!

Shi'ark · 03-03-2006, 06:03 AM

For Blushing Heliophobe

Quit your job, tell the guy who was your boss to fuck off, go get the degree, be the good mother we all think your be.
Every one here believes in you.

Deviant Kitten · 03-03-2006, 06:16 AM

BH - your boss sounds like an arrogant dickweed! I know that military peeps tend to be very big on commitment to their work, but doesn't he have the sense to realise that a parent's priority is always going to be their child and not their job?! Breastfeeding is so much healthier for a baby than formula is; maybe you should explain that to him. He probably wouldn't listen though... *sigh* Do what feels right to you, hun, and don't let your boss make you feel bad!

Shi'ark · 03-03-2006, 07:14 AM

I just run out of tea bags at work… SHIT!!!

Iriacynthe · 03-03-2006, 08:00 AM

I have this friend who's a few years older than I am, and I've always seen her as an example, in some way. When I got to know her I was 14, and I really wanted to be like her. Now I've grown up a bit, and I just want to be like myself, but I still admire her very much.
She's been together with her boyfriend for ages, and two years ago they married, and I've always seen them as an example of true love. A few days ago, she told me that she's seriously thinking of leaving him.

I was shocked. I knew they had some problems, but every couple has problems now and than, and I had no idea they were this serious. I really feel bad about this, not only because she's my friend and I want her to be happy, but also because their relationship represented a certain ideal to me, and that ideal of ever-lasting love suddenly seems very naive and unrealistic.

I feel very strange, and I just had to tell this to someone, so thank you all for being here and reading this.

If you really wanted to press the issue, you DEFINITELY have a case for discrimination..

But this is the Military, so that would entail some serious Headaches on your part to accomplish. However it IS highly illegal what he is doing, and suprises the crap out of me because the US Military is very clear on what policy is in these issues. He's risking alot by advising you in this fashion. What a dumbass.

Breastfeeding your Baby is not only the best for his developement, but it is in my opinion the most special thing you can share with your child. I can honestly say I have never felt closer to another living human being, than when I was Breastfeeding my son.

Not to mention Benzene is EXTREMELY dangerous, and any amount you absorbed through your skin would in turn find its way into your breast milk.

I'm with you on this, if you can get out on a Pregnancy Option do it.

It's not worth the risk, especially if your boss is such a Manipulative Prick..

However, do be sure to report him as you do your Exit Interviews, at least that will go into his record. Plus if you decide to persure legal action AFTER you leave then it will be in his File and you will have a record of your complaint.

Fuck that Asshole. Connor's health is more important.

We're behind you 100% Girlie..

*Hugs*

Demonista, what E_E said!!
We've all done it at one time or another. I don't want to see you leave *sniffle* but I do understand if you need a break. We all adore you and are still counting the days until you are legal.. *Hee*

*smooches*

Nine Inch Nails concert was postponed until after this school year. That really pisses me off because I was all ready to see it, and it was going to be the highlight of this hellish weekend. Fuck you for being ill, Reznor! Fuck you!

Magpie_Tendencies · 03-03-2006, 03:20 PM

Had the flu vaccine and it's making me feel like crap. I felt fine when I got it done last night and tried to go to my Tae Kwon Do class but halfway through I started feeling really crap. Finished the evening by getting kicked in the head while I wasn't concentrating. Terrific.

WolfMoon · 03-03-2006, 05:01 PM

BH, sorry for not responding to your post, hun.

I was just incensed over what my customer had gone through.

I agree that breastfeeding is one of the most special things you can experience as a mother. I did it with both of my kiddos. Truly amazing!

Get out on the Pregnancy Thing, if your boss is being such a prick! While I'm all for doing your duty if you signed up, I also don't think it's right of your boss to manipulate you like that. You don't need to come back from maternity leave and deal with that bastard! You'll already be on an emotional rollercoaster as is. Factor in the likelyhood of post-partum depression and you're in for a tailspin.

Fuck that asshole! Get out of there for the safety of your sanity and the health of your child(lil Connor, I like that name. I'm Connor McCleod from the Clan McCleod.).

Empty_Purple_Stars · 03-03-2006, 06:48 PM

It's funny how one phone call can change everything..

My Mother just called and my Grandmother is not expected to live through the night..

And I am here 2300 Miles away while my MiMi dies..

I am waiting on my Dad to check his voice mail, so I can give him the news.

I didn't want my Mom to have to deal with this alone.

Mimi was doing so much better and had finally been able to move back to her home with a live in Nurse in January. She was getting her Spring Orchid Bulbs ready to plant.

And Now She is going to Die.

Somehow I have to find a way to Sprout Wings and Fly to Texas..

But I won't make it before...Sob..What the Fuck?

I keep thinking about the advice I gave Disfunction, and how Ironic it all seems now..

I want to be there when she dies, and I can't..

I don't know how I am going to tell the Hellspawn..
I don't know how I am going to tell my Dad.

I want to be there for My Mom.
I want to be there for MiMi..

Sob..

Disfunction · 03-03-2006, 07:13 PM

My grandmother died yesterday at 5:15 pm. The took her off of life support at 2:00 pm the previous day. I didn't bother mentioning it because I didn't want to. I know what you're going through, EPS. I was here while the rest of my family was there, and there's even doubt as to whether or not I will have the luxury of making it for her funeral due to academic complications.

I hope you work through it all.

Empty_Purple_Stars · 03-03-2006, 11:00 PM

Thanks Guys.

It doesn't even seem Real yet..

And I'm still 2300 Motherfucking Miles away, and I can't do shit about it.

I'm just wandering around the house, with my cell phone clutched in my hand, waiting for the call. I feel so Helpless.

Fucking Sob.

Dis, I'm so sorry for Your Loss..
Just know your not alone, and I will try and get a hold of you sometime soon..
Big Hugs.

And the Wild Regrets and the Bloody Sweats,
None knew so well as I:
That he who lives more lives than one,
More deaths than one shall die.

http://www.wtv-zone.com/sunshine/hpd/gifs/hugs1.gif

and just because the hug pic for eps is bigger doesn't mean i'm giving more love there. that's just the way the pics worked out. i wish neither of you was feeling the pain of loss.

and blushing - isn't there someone you can ask to mediate between you and your boss? there must be a neutral party there to help work it out.

Beyond all mountains steep,
Above all shadows rides the Sun
And Stars for ever dwell:

Nor bid the Stars farewell.
