AYG

I don't know how often she posts here (I'm pretty sure it's at least occasionally) but lately I just want to break things when I see a post from Jemmini.  I haven't seen her say anything but some variation of "ZOMG learn to speak English you uneducated fool!" for the past month.  I get it, you like good grammar.  You're out to save the masses.  Whatthefuckever.  It's annoying if you say that to every post, especially posts that, while not the prettiest ever, are perfectly readable and understandable.  STFU and get off your high grammar horse.

It really annoyed me that RailWayWife told the OP to get a better, higher paying job on the Gold DIgger thread on CC. I'm glad you called her out on it J&K.

Steph0871

Well then.  I haven't noticed that, but I think it's because I intentionally glaze over her posts now.

Mine is an asshole flame for Sarabear.  Seriously? Your brother's girlfriend's mom? That's stretching the T&P wire a littttttleee too far don't you think?  But, then again. I think T&P threads are ridiculous anyway, so there's that.

OMFG, that made me want to dropkick babies.

I also flame anyone who seriously suggests to someone (RailWayWife qualifies for this one too) that they should drink alcohol to cope with their stress.  Alcohol is a UNHEALTHY COPING SKILL.  I mean, I'm all for a glass of wine.  I'm all for unwinding with a glass of wine.  But not as a way of dealing with my stress.

I love Poli with all my internet heart, and I DO think she's just super duper compassionate, and it's hard for her to say those things without it sounding like she's judging other people, but I agree that's the way it's seemed lately.

I think, like you said, Milkduds, it's because it's really the only time she's around.  If she was around more often, participating in non-controversial threads as well, it wouldn't seem so judgy-like.  

Steph0871

I have another flame. Achiduck.  Enough said.

chelseamb11

I flame the girl on CC who called college a complete waste because now she has mounds of student loans but no job.  She has a teaching degree, which she says is pointless because everything she has learnd has been through teaching.  Ooohaky?  so you still haven't gotten a job, yet somehow everything you know is through teaching?  How is that possible? Yeah there's student teaching but that is a semester.  You can't tell me one semester of student teaching gives you all the knowledge you need to teach.  School teaches you so much.  Teaching teaches you so much.  Shiit i expect to be learning new things up until I retire.

Chels, I had to walk away from that thread before saying anything. It was making me pretty angry. I'm in the same boat but I would never say that school was a waste of time. Ever.

Steph0871

Hm. Apparently that wasn't enough said.

For popping in on a board you very rarely frequent (if at all lately?) to complain about something that happened on another board.

That, and I still find most of your posts completely pointless.

[QUOTE]I am over Poli pretty much only coming around at the end of semi-controversial threads and basically calling those of us who have posted judgy assholes. She phrases it much nicer, but it's just the vibe I get. I get it.  You're super compassionate and caring and can think of 147 reasons why situation X may not be all their fault, but I can still feel like they need to take some personal responsibility for their situation.

Exactly.  I know teaching jobs are so hard to come by.  I thank my lucky stars on a daily basis that I have this job right now.  But FFS higher education is never a "waste".  Midge, I'm going to find you a job here so you can move by me and we can hang out always. 
I know you told me this but I forgot, what are you certified in?  Elementary right?

Steph0871

Oh, and Duds. I completely agree.  It's really annoying, Poli. Sorry. Also, there's a difference between trying to see the best in everyone (which I think Poli tries to do), and just being completely unrealistic.

Steph0871

Also, I flame J for starting this when I can't play. I have to actually work now, and I have some good flames (if I can remember them. ha)  If thsi is still going in a few hours, I'll come back and contribute.

Right, well I'm sorry if I've ever said anything that offended you directly but I haven't had the time to be posting regularly on this board. If I don't have the time to get into a discussion or debate thread, I don't post in it - period. And no, I don't really think my posts are pointless. I've seen plenty of people comment on stuff that happened on other boards in SB AYG threads so I'm not exactly the first to do so.

The difference is that those other people are generally people that post on this board regularly. It's weird if you come to this board (pretty much) ONLY to complain about other boards. Why should we care about your e-beefs if we don't know you at all?

I agree about Poli.  I find her excuses for the world to be exhausting at times, but then again, I am on the complete opposite end of the compassion spectrum so maybe its just that I dont understand.  But she does make me feel like having the view I do makes me an asshole.

Posted by chelseamb11[/QUOTE]

I disagree completely with this.  I do think higher education can be a waste.  My year in grad school was a waste.  I didn't get anything out of it.  I was miserable in a place I hated for a year, and I have nothing to show for it.  My friends who actually completed the program (forensic psych MS) are: 1.  Unemployed.  2.  A perfume girl at the local mall.  3.  Waiting tables.  4.  In the process of his second year applying for doctoral programs because he was denied from all 7 he applied to last year.

Now, I'm not saying their degrees won't ever come in handy, because I'm sure, someday, they will.  But they just as easily could have saved their money and their jobs (they all had good jobs that they left for the program, as did I) and waited.  And if they had stayed at the jobs they were at, by this point they'd all likely be making a considerable amount more than any job in the field they'd get with that degree.

I actually think you should just take him everywhere with you. You can let him wear your clothes as an added bonus. That way you'll have proof of your compassion at all times.

Steph0871

Dara- maybe you can have the bum help babysit those babies we're all dropping off on your door step?

J- ACTUALLY I DO. But I didn't want to say that, because I knew you'd call me out on it. (Seriously though. I'd so much rather play AYG then go to this effing meeting.)

While I agree with the bolded part, I hardly ever participate in AYG or FFF. I can probably count the number of times I've posted in those threads on one hand. I've posted lots of other stuff on SB or participated in threads that have nothing to do with other boards, AYG or FFF.

No hard feelings, I just simply don't agree with Steph on this one.

[QUOTE]Steph, I felt the same way about Sarabear and also felt guilty thinking it.  But the phrasing "Please keep my brother's girlfriend and her family and our family in your prayers" to be a little awkward; when my brother and his wife were just dating, I would certainly feel bad had her mother died, but it wouldn't be something I felt I needed to cope with.
Posted by djhar[/QUOTE]

I think it depends on how close Sarabear is with the brother's girlfriend's mom.  When FI's brother's wife's parents got divorced (if you guys remembre, it's the guy who left his wife for his 28yo gf) I cried so hard.  But it's because I know them well (despite the few degrees of separation) and I was so sad for them.  If she isn't close to them, then yeah it's kinda weird.  I'm all for praying for people who need the prayers, but it's strange to aske for T&Ps for someone you're not that connected to to begin with.

Bkseller13

Not against a specific person, but FFS, can't TK find IT people that actually know what they're doing?  Going over to TN doesn't work for everyone. If it did, we'd all be there instead of here, right?

hahahaha

I was told I am not compassionate enough either, I had to take a "how to deal with angry clients" course because I couldn't empathize with petty (imo) complaints and problems. I have a list on my desk telling me tips to be more compassionate.

Since my 5 months disability off of work, I  have changed a lot and become more compassionate. Which is good sometimes in my job, but at other times, it makes me care too much and I get to involved when I should be able to step back.
