| This is brief: has anyone experienced losing their jobs, for whatever reason or circumstances, before or on their birthday on the pretense of a regular, scheduled meeting at work? Thanks everyone for the replies, but I have not yet been fired before a birthday. I just asked if it has happened at al... |

| I remember one guy at work. He always wore a white short sleeve dress shirt to work each day. I suspect he had several in his closet, all the same. The only problem was that he wore them for years and they had turned yellow over time. For me, I have severe color blindness. So the colors that I see ... |

| I was wearing a company issued V sweater over an black undershirt. I must have tucked in my undershirt a little too much because a very light amount of top of my chest hair was visible. This is the one time I made a dress faux paus at work out of the 1 yr +3 months since I started. I think I got one... |

| So there was a snow closure where I work. But I got to work early before the announcement. I decided to stay in the office to do some work. This is the conversation I had with someone over our slack channel for work. My main concern is I used the word "anyway". I replaced some of the actua... |

| First some background, I work in a very specific department supporting computers. I have other co-workers with the same job title. There are certain areas who do not have someone to help with IT issues so everyone is expected to pitch in and help. But nobody but me actually does the extra work, I am... |

| It has been a looong loong time since I have visited this forum. Plenty has happened between my last post on 2013. I have been off and on Facebook for quite sometime and I've learned it ain't worth it no more, Facebook is the devil. I've had plenty of ups and downs, lost jobs. But now I have new job... |

| Actually, upon reflection, I do believe what happened was a sign of awkwardness, because the interviewee was late. I suppose his appointment was scheduled before I came into work. But they talked about it constantly so it wasn't a big secret. I suppose that could be a more definitive clue they were ... |

| So here is an update. The circumstances that lead to my fears stem from a few moments when I had lost my composure at work. I didn't say any swear words but have been projecting a negative vibe, attitude at work lately. Partly because I endured a 30 min call that came at the wrong moment when my ner... |

The only caveat is that I have been struggling at school. For the most part I have been self-medicating 420. It never interfered with my job, never high... |

That's normal for non-romantic friendships. You should work on sometimes being the one to not respond back.
The time to talk back to your friend after a pause is when something funny or interesting happens.
Thanks   |

| Was he excited about this show and just pretending to think it was dumb because you thought it was dumb? It seemed like you insulted his band. Did you mean to? I'd ask him if he took anything you said badly and say you didn't intend it if you did. Uh no.. He genuinely hated the idea of going to the... |

However I still get anxious when he doesn't reply to message for maybe an hour or a day. After which I start to believe or get paranoid that I said something incredibly wrong th... |
