I've somehow put 6lbs on in less than a week... despite eating within my calories. I hate my body.

Hey, I've been struggling with the same thing. I think the lack of exercise is the problem.

 

[retro]

you're probably right. I need to start exercising again... the work stuff knocked me off of it, and then I haven't had any motivation to start up again.

 

[retro]

Cause I am, whatever you say I am
If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?
In the paper, the news everyday I am
I don't know it's just the way I am

oh, and I have an interview on Friday at 3pm

oh, and I have an interview on Friday at 3pm

For what? We need details!

It's a Systems Engineer position with the preeminent consulting firm in the area. Basically, I'd be going to client businesses, supporting their installations, implementing new solutions, etc. I'd spend the first 6-9 months working out of their office, and then after that be based out of my house and supporting clients in my area.

The bad part is the fact that I'd have to commute 100 miles a day round trip for those first 6-9 months. I'd also be looking at either a slight pay cut or earning what I make now to begin with. But there would be performance based salary increases available, and then the commuting would end after that first period of time. Then I'd just be driving around my area, and having my mileage reimbursed.

So, we'll just see what happens.

So, I'm wondering when the lynch mob is going to show up

Lynch mob? What did you do now?

 

[retro]

Lynch mob? What did you do now?

I dared say something negative at another forum about someone beloved around here, and it's been discovered. OH TEH NOES! :willy_nilly:

 

[HK]

I'm not here to lynch you, but I do think it was kinda stupid to spend so much time here apparently enjoying yourself and then go and slag everyone off in a different forum.

Of course, it wouldn't matter if no one had ever found out but it's out there now, and you can't expect people not to be a little pissed.

 

[retro]

Except for the part where all I've said was that there are hot girls here, it's silly here at times, and then what I said about the aforementioned beloved person which I still believe to be true, but removed because I didn't want to be lynched. Maybe I don't understand the definition of "slagging everyone off".

 

[itsmeJonB]

I've never posted in here, but if you want I can fill it with pictures of stretched out assholes and dangly vaginas lol

Jk jk I'm not mad at chu

 

[satinbutterfly]

You didn't remove it fast enough.

Strange that you find it silly that people like to come to a place where people are expected to behave civilly and respect each other. If you find it so silly... why do you keep coming back?

 

[retro]

Oh my fucking God. I said it was silly here at times... I meant nothing malicious about it. Jesus fucking Christ. I removed it only after I discovered that it was going to be a big deal here, but it's nothing different than what I've said to people here.

I don't quite understand how, "it's silly there at times" equates out to me saying that people are dumb for wanting to post somewhere that people respect each other and behave civilly. There's a massive disconnect between the two. For the record, I was referring to the fact that people can be ridiculously nice to people that they don't actually like, or the fact there are 10 year olds that supposedly sign up to get relationship advice, or any number of things. But apparently having a fucking opinion that could possibly be construed as negative means that I'm dumb for posting here and shouldn't.

Let the fucking lynching begin... anyone else want a shot at me? I'll be here all fucking day.

 

[satinbutterfly]

OMG you're such a whiny little person sometimes.

I asked you a question. I didn't accuse you of anything or berate you. Get over yourself Retro and take some pills. :smiley24:

Please explain to me what you meant by this then

You didn't remove it fast enough.

Seems like a pretty clear accusation and/or berating to me... but hey, what do I know. You made an assumption based on something read completely out of context to the entire situation, and then came at me with the assumption. As far as my need to get over myself... I'm not the one that came in here making an accusation. I also haven't whined, I've refuted said accusations expressed frustration out of the fact that people are making assumptions and/or judging me based on something said in an entirely different place, without the full benefit of knowing the context of the situation. Not the context of the conversation, but the context of the situation itself. The vast majority of people there have been posting together for over a decade... I know when it's prudent to disagree with someone, and when it's not worth my time or effort. Not defending something or disagreeing with someone doesn't equate to agreeing with their opinion... it means that I didn't feel like bothering.

I daresay that people are upset over the fact that I made a disparaging comment about one specific person here. Well, I still stand by that, but it's not worth my time and/or effort to try and explain it to people that aren't going to listen anyway.

If I didn't like this place, do you honestly think that I would've spent the last four years (two active) and 8,000+ posts here? I'd say that it's a pretty safe bet that the answer to that question is a resounding no. I may not agree with everything, but that doesn't mean anything other than the fact that I have my own opinions.

So how 'bout we stop this, or you at least realize that there was a far larger context to that situation than just that conversation. Also, making assumptions about someone's opinion based on their unwillingness to disagree with someone is a rather silly thing to do.

 

[retro]

But hell, what's the point in having an opinion if you can't get crucified for it.
