My boy's trying to get me on with his company in NYC. Phone interview on Tuesday so hopefully that goes well. He got the job the same way he's trying to get it for me.
On the other hand I'm in such an antisocial mood right now. It's partly to do with all the stress, OT and travel for work the last 2 weeks. But I think I'm hitting that point where I'm just tired of everyone around me.

One of my best friends just told me his mom has aggressive breast cancer..... I feel so sad for him right now

The girl I am in love with might have cervical cancer. Not sure what to do. We're just friends but she hasn't told anyone but me about it. We went out on a friend thing on Friday that ended with me holding her on her patio for 1/2 an hour. It was weird. Because she wouldn't let me let her go.
What does it mean, "might have"? What kind of test did she run? I would tell her not to jump to conclusions if she does not know. Best of luck to her of course.
By Gabyskra Go To PostWhat does it mean, "might have"? What kind of test did she run? I would tell her not to jump to conclusions if she does not know. Best of luck to her of course.
She was having irregular bleeding and pain down there. Docs found spots on her cervix.
She's going to have a biopsy in a few weeks.
Plenty of reasons to get warts down there. She could have non-cancer HPV, spots are not always immediately an aggressive cancer, etc. I have an ex who came to me with the same worry a year ago, she felt sad that something was wrong with her body but it is not always a big deal (turned out, it was not). I remember a long time ago, I learned that I had non-aggressive small tumors in my sinus, and one time, one evening, I made it a bigger deal than it was to get sympathy from others... It's tempting, it's human, but in truth it does not deserve that much attention. Just be there for her, but be the voice of reason, focus on the positive and be optimistic (and somewhere inside your head, to yourself, tell yourself to not be too much of an enabler). It's good she's taken care of. Commiserating too much can be toxic, the whole holding each other as friends sounds like emotional needs of hers being met, but not yours.
Outside of the cancer stuff It was a weird night. We went to a concert. It got kind of chilly so I let her have my shirt. Got a drink afterwards. Half way through our drink I let something slip about some recent health issues. We started talking really different after that. Very personal stuff. We got some pizza. She told me about her problems. She mentions this guy she is seeing. Later on she says she doesn't like him. We went back to her place. I hugged her and she wouldn't let me go. I didn't say anything. We stood there for awhile. As I was walking out of the door I hugged her again. This time it was different. She thought I was going in for a kiss. I could tell by the way she put her arms around my head. I didn't do it because I chickened out.
When I was walking away she was staring at me until I got out of sight. I got to my car and realized that she still had my shirt on. She texted me. So I walked backed to her place. We sat outside talking. I told her something really personal. We stopped talking. I moved my chair closer. That's when I started holding her. Nothing was said after that. At about 2am her roommate came outside to see if we were still there. That's when I left.
We're supposed to hang out this week when I get back to LA.
I seriously think I should have gone for that kiss.

House hunting is something else, especially if you're trying to find something with easier access for a less than mobile person or someone who could easily become that in several years.

For serious, you seem like a good wholesome dude. Me on the other hand... Yeah I'm not holding her for two hours without getting it in.

Didn't get the job in SLC because HR guy is tripping over a paraphernalia citation that happened 10 years ago. In some good news, had a job interview for another job in the same place and hope it went well. 30whateveritistheyoffered a year is good money. Going back to church tomorrow knowing I don't fuck with none of these people. They all like pristine and young but think they know everything about life. Only saving grace is service starts at 9:30 AM and the service is seperated.
I have no idea where to post this, but some guy's wife on GAF gave birth at home...and the dude ate the fucking placenta and posted a video of it and picture. And also said he has a cannibalism fascination?
What. the. fuck? That is some of the most disturbing shit I've ever seen and read on that forum and they're allowing people like that to have children?

Least he found a way to deal with that fetish without actually eating/killing a person. Kind of skeeved out by using a birth method to fulfill that desire though.

I read that thread while eating and NOT EXPECTING TO SEE A TUB OF BLOOD AND PLACENTA JUST THERE
bruh
Home birth is great if you're low risk I guess but the drop in infant and women mortality rates in most nations is due in large part to hospitals and the ability for emergency surgery and blood transfusions. You really got to ensure your midwife is actually qualified and able to perform any duties should shit go awry.
Shit just looked into it and home births still have about triple the mortality rate of hospitals.

Gotta get in on the lucrative career of taking the most bullshit photoshoots of houses that will go on the market.
I might be taking an involuntary hiatus from grad school. I'm supposed to earn an 4.0 or between 90-100 points per class. I earned an 89 and now face possible suspension. FML. Basically, I'm a part of a team with a classmate and she submitted a thoroughly incomplete assignment despite telling me it was complete. I notified the professor and tried to fix this by sending her the complete assignment but nothing has changed as of yet.
Valuable life lessons: punish the person doing their job because the other person on the team failed to do their's. That'd be $40,000 please.
School always felt more punishing and less forgiving than any job I've held. Their justification of "this is how the real world works" seemingly is a lie told by professors that were always professors rather professionals.
Sorry Furyous, hope it works out.

Sucks.
Yea, the one professor at my school that constantly drilled that line to us, as far as I know, was a failure as a professional so he ended up teaching. I've seen some downright seedy and/or flat out incompetence in plenty of jobs I've held, and all of those people got plenty of chances to fail. Hell, some of them even failed upwards.

That's rough. I don't know if you have or haven't already but throw that class mate under the bus with the quickness immediately. Its your best chance to get some leniency. That is the lesson I learned from group projects. Talk to the classmate fucking up as a warning to get their shit together, and if they continue to fuck up drop a dime.
Hated group/partner projects because I'd consistently get weak links. One partner project the guy completely flaked on me and pretended to send files and didn't. He also didn't show up the day of presentation. I had to do his half myself the night before. Instructor noticed this right away, I walked away with an A anyway and he said he was going to give my partner credit for the photos but as for a good grade on the project? No way.

I'm irate because she pushed for this particular project and threatened to ask the professor to have us do our own projects. She told me she submitted it but never responded to my emails. This should play itself out by Monday... I was counting on that bread from financial aid so it comes down to hoping they let me keep the money as a parting gift or applying to different Masters program in the school next spring.
Basically, I'll have to move if they don't allow me to continue as a student. No clue where I'm moving to but fuck it I have five degrees so someone should hire me.

Use those emails in your defense. A similar thing happened to one of my younger sisters and she got the teacher to give her a mini extension to basically do the whole project herself because she could show where her group members did not answer the emails she had sent. The teacher might be a dick and still not care but before you get kicked out present that same info to the head of the department and see if they will at least make a exception to kicking you out due to the nature of how/why your GPA taking this hit. You literally have nothing to lose if you rub that dick teacher the wrong way by going over his head in your defense..... Just don't tell the asshole teacher before you do it because then he'll probably hit the department head up before you do.
I. Am. So. Fucking. Pissed.
So I've been selling my current home ever since I put a deposit on my new one to be built. For the first 5-6 months I had a lousy realtor who sabotaged a sale of mine, barely did any open-houses, and lacked any solid communication with me. When she did do open houses, she sent other people and new people from another office location to do them. Oh and her commission fee was extremely high. I fired her. She gave me no direction of how and when to lower prices, and I was doing all of the work myself.
I got a new realtor and he was on point with everything off the bat. He started doing open houses weekly and we were getting a lot of results. And his commission was also more standard. Within 3 weeks we had 2 offers. We accepted the better one, and we were so damn relieved that after 7 months on the market the house is finally going to sell and I'll be safely able to move into my new one.
Yesterday, the buyer (a wonderful 55 year old Puerto Rican lady) came to my house with her high school daughter. And they were waiting for the buyer's boyfriend (a typical weasel white guy Floridian from Cocoa beach who looked like a bad car salesman) to arrive separately. He wanted to see the house for himself and his approval, Flag 1. He arrives late, getting lost (it's one fucking road from his job if he followed the GPS correctly), Flag 2. When he greets his girlfriend there was clearly tension and fakeness between him and the daughter, Flag 3.
He comes into the house and says "wow, it's really out there in the sticks! I should've listened to the GPS", Flag 4. First of all, asshole, I live right by Disney...how the fuck is that the sticks? And he doesn't take his shoes off in my house and is walking around acting all fake and chipper. And I can just smell the bullshit. He was so clearly faking all of his enthusiasm. The daughter loved it, picked her room, the mother loved it. And this guy is walking around like he's going to pay a fucking bill. Flag. Flag. Flag!
I had a bad feeling when they left. I told my wife as much. Myself and their realtor we convinced them that the traveling distance from the house to their jobs is 15 minutes each (mind you, they were commuting 80 miles from Cocoa Beach this whole time....). And it seemed like that was great for them. Today they were suppose to wire the escrow money...but instead she backed out because her boyfriend talker her out of it. That slimy piece of shit that I pegged him as.
We are supposed to have this house sold, because my new house will be ready in mid-November. I had informed my bank, my new builders, even family...and I feel like such a fucking asshole because they backed out of their signed agreement. Worst of all, we had TWO offers and we chose the wrong one. Now the couple from Brazil likely contracted something else and we lost out on them.
So fuck you sleazy douchebag cocksucker from Cocoa Beach.

Buying and selling a home it's so crucial to get an agent who doesn't mess around. What really sucks is when you do you homework, have damn good agents but theirs is lazy and screwing with your timeline.
That's some real horseshit Alpha. Selling homes is like the most frustrating experience of all time. There's so much that needs to go into it and every party is out there looking out for their own interests, which is understandable, but it creates shit shows like that.
My agent is the man, and their agent is also his co-worker (also a good guy who encouraged the purchase). We've become very good friends with my agent and he was as pissed off as I am right now (also called the boyfriend a massive weasel) and working the phones. We also found out that the Brazilians did not make a purchase while they were here, so they have no commitments. But the question is now do they still want our house after I rejected their offer last week? They were absolutely enamored with our property and had 25% ready to go through BBVA & Compass Bank.

Yeah, I feel bad for the lady because it's her money and would have been her house. She's the only signee on the contract. That cocksucker weasel boyfriend of hers ain't shit. Yet he influenced her like that. It's so fucked up.
Think of it this way though, imagine how much worse dealing with them would get with that guy once you went through the entire escrow process.
Yea, that motherfucker would come back and pinpoint shit that "needs to be fixed" because he didn't like it. I just feel sad for the mother.
Update:
Professor refused to change my grade. She allowed me resubmit the assignment on Friday. I sent her two parts spaced 45 minutes apart, final project and seperate budget justification. I missed six points off the final project. Bear in mind I'm haggling in the hopes of two extra points. Grades weren't due in the system until Monday.
Now there is a 95 percent chance they'll kick me out over two points that I missed because my grade in the course did not amount to a 4.0. I'm not sure what 89 out of 100 is normally on a 4.0 scale but I want to say it's like a 3.8 or 3.97 or something like that.

The agreement is an as-is sale. And also the house is only 2 years old, so there's nothing wrong with it at all.
But:
We accepted another offer on the house from the Brazilian couple who deserve this place moreso than the other people did. It's a slightly lower offer, but not a big deal. They flew out from Brazil to see our house and 7 others, and only liked ours. They have their funds ready to go too. Praying no more bumps in the road.
