Tell me something...

[ShinigamiSama]

I wanted to write my name in the snow in a spur of the moment before I realized it was to cold?
does that count?

Yes you are correct... Any employee not receiving tips must be paid the federal minimum wage. Depending on which state you live in, the minimum wage may actually be higher there... Get in touch with your local state labor board and report your employer to them. They will audit his/her payroll records and force your boss to pay you all the wages you had coming on all those hours you worked below the minimum. In other words you will receive back pay The only possible exception would be if you had been getting paid a salary... I hope this helps you

alright i read that a few times...do i have to confront my employer?...to be honest i dont wanna get fired...i plan on quiting after Christmas...at least thats what im planning...i dont know if i wanna go anywhere...i love where im working...im just getting screwed over and dont like it...

and state your reason for leaving your last job was your employer was purposefully mis-managing your wages

LIfe sucks right now.

My bills are more than my money! That sucks! crap!

 

[Vandren]

Hmm. Some pretty random stuff here . . . I suppose I can add to the randomness.

I enjoy my job and generally love doing it (and look forward to being "qualified" to do it full time in a year and a half). Every so often, though, like most of my peers, I wonder what I'm doing here. At those moments, I generally wish I'd gotten into fencing earlier in life - I started at 22 - so I could have ended up doing fight choreography and swordsmanship training for movies.

A bit random, perhaps.

I doubt people were naturally meant to be anything. Monogamy works very well for some people, and others not so much. It's just finding what makes you happy.

I gotta go with Lorali on this - humans are not meant to be monogamous. Yes, there are some for whom it works, but I think they are really the exceptions. I think the majority of people who stay together are making it work. A few couples are perfectly happy to be with that one person forever and ever, but most find after a few years (or months) that they need something else, something more.

My ex and I were in love. We lived together for two years. It was bliss. Then she got the urge to have children. We both knew from the start that I didn't want to have kids, so her change of plans kinda put an end to the whole thing. We parted amicably, and we're still good friends, but she met a guy who also wanted to start a family and married him last month and I'm happy that she's happy.

I've wondered if I made the right decision by sticking to what I thought was my plan for life, and then my brother and his wife had their first child. I thought that maybe I would hold the baby and feel this overwhelming sense of fatherhood and then decide to have kids of my own. To my great relief, that didn't happen.

When I hold the kid I just think, "What a pain in the ass. This thing cries all the time and can't tell me why. It pisses and shits all over its parents. It's going to grow up to be a teenage rebellious sneaking-out-of-the-house-in-the-middle-of-the-night nightmare. And it's going to want an iPod and a cell phone by the time it's six years old. My brother and sister-in-law used to go out on the town five times a week. Now they are stuck at home every night and will be for the next twelve years or so. (Unless they get a sitter, which costs a fortune nowadays.)

Even my ex was relieved to hear me say this. She was worried that after splitting up I might change my mind and want kids, but with someone other than her. LOL

Whoa, my response to monogamy has turned into a "Don't have kids" rant. Oh, well.

Now I feel like I want to reassure the guys with the size issues:
Remember, some girls are small too. Even though I'm 24, I'm only 5ft tall (sure not gettin' any taller), and I've got lots of small bits (ha ha- please don't go to the dark side on that one).
My dentist told me to use a child-size toothbrush because my mouth is smaller than normal. I wear a size 6 shoe. I can't even wear tampons, for pity's sake.
So I ask you: do you really think I want a monster pee-pee stick inside me???

I don't think so.

Funny, that all sounded way less stupid in my head, and now I'm laughing hysterically at myself

My ex was the same. She was very small and every single time we had sex it was painful for her. Instead of watching porn with lust in her eyes, she would only comment that the guys were freakishly huge and how painful it would be to get fucked by one of them. She told me that she had been with guys that were longer than me and with guys that were thicker, but (unfortunately) mine was a combination of both and it was just uncomfortable for her. Once (just once) I slammed into her while fucking doggy-style and I felt myself "bottom out." She rolled over in immense pain and that was it for the next few days. (For the record, I didn't purposefully try to hurt her.)

She also complained that it was hard for her to blow me. With smaller guys she could use her tongue while they were in her mouth but with me her mouth was just too full to get anything done, so she learned other techniques which worked wonders. (I'm a big fan of the handjob-with-lots-of-drool method.)

Don't get me wrong. I wouldn't trade it for anything. She was the only woman who ever complained and it's really a huge ego boost when you first slide it into someone and can see the look in their eyes as they "accommodate" the size.

My thoughts on that: If you're on the fence and can't really decide if you want them or not, don't do it. Children are a HUGE responsibility and if you're not into it one hundred percent I don't think you should be doing it.

If there was a test you had to pass before having kids, the population of this country would be very small. (If some politician proposed such a test, he'd get my vote.) Too many people pop out a room full of fuck trophies and then decide that they don't want to stay married or they're not good parents or whatever.

Plus, I think abortion should be legal up until the age of 18. The kid's age, not the parents'. Hey, sometimes things just don't work out.

How old is this child? Fucking shit, I know if would have ever disrespected anyone that was older than me, no matter who they were, believe me, my parents would let me know and sometimes not just with words, I know what spankings are all about, and sometimes kids fucking deserve em. IMO, if the kids parents don't teach them from a young age...they are never gonna get it. So fuck yeah, I agree with you that kid is a fucking spoiled brats.

shes no older than ten...people i work with knows how she treats me...she treats everyone better than me...is it because i didnt fall under the im so cute gotta love me spell...i dont really know...all i know is...she thinks im her bitch...and theres nothing i can do about it...i can quit but i need a job...

IMO, you shouldn't let the brat run you out anyways. And chances are, that the reason she doesn't like is for that same reason...and thats cause you don't kiss her ass (neither would I). Like I told you..if the parents don't put a stop to it, no one will.

Anyways...wanna know what sucks. When you go to a wedding as a single person and you have EVERYONE asking you "when are you getting married?" What the hell do you say to that? That irks the hell out if me. Funnier part is..that the wedding that I went to..the bride and groom are both 20...suckers.

Maybe the whole not wanting kids thing plays into one's opinion on monogomy (makes sense evolutionarily I guess). Cause I certainly don't want 'em.

And I suspect if my preference as far as that goes changes I'll change my mind about the monogamy thing as well.

No fence-sitting there

No matter what some people have to say about Ekserb and his opinions, I personally have to give him credit for thinking things all the way through.
Can't say that for a shameful lot of people, unfortunately.

I would hope so. I don't want kids and I think the majority of people who have them probably should have them taken away, but I also believe that once you have kids you should do whatever it takes to stay a couple. Even if it means living a lie for the rest of your life. Once you have kids your life is no longer yours, it's theirs.

That's because I really believe everything I say. The people who are desperately conscious of their political correctness are always saying things that they think other people want to hear, or things that they think they are supposed to say. I just say what I feel and if someone agrees with me, that's fine. If not, that's fine, too. It's when someone tells me that my statements are somehow incorrect that I dig in and fight.

 

[monique1971]

Crazy thread, but entertaining reading.

My random thought: I am dreading Christmas.

My thoughts on monogamy and children: monogamy is difficult but not impossible. Some people seem to do it with ease. I'm not one of them. As for whether we're "meant" for it -- I have no idea. Any evidence I could marshal for one side or another of that debate seems suspect to me.

Children: I don't want them. Why? Everyone else seems to. It's as if the entire world is generating offspring all the time, except me. It must be my age and the stage of life that most of my acquantances are in.
