Valid and accepted. Do whatever you want but your pay will be docked for missing time...

This is more fun than serious but... I worked at a small company who contracted out it support. One day I got a call that a computer wouldn't turn on, no signs of power at all. This was in a bank. Per their policy the teller had a list of things to check. They notify the branch manager who checked all the same stuff plus some extra. They then call a vp who checks all the stuff with some even more extra. If still broken, they would call us. On this day the call was no power on computer, branch was about an hour away, drove company car to client and immediately saw issue. The god damn power strip was turned off. The teller, the manager and the vp were to check this so I decided to have some fun. I told them there was an evil spirit and we had to "cleanse" it. I had manager go get leave from outside, I found some old candles from a old birthday, the lights were turned off, I called out some random non-sense about mother gia and cleansing and whatnot, arm motions, everyone's head down and eyes closed. Meanwhile I flipped the power strip switch to on and within seconds the windows xp sound was heard (yes I'm old). Everyone was confused but amazed and easily signed the paperwork to say I fixed it.

I drove back to my office and on way the vp asked me to come to his office as he had questions. I went to his office, he asked me to explain the issue at the branch which I did and how I "fixed" it. He was obviously upset but said "next time that happens call me first ". I was confused but said "ok". He then followed up with "we could have had a animal sacrifice" and pulled a rubber chicken out of a drawer.

I didn't technically work for him but he seemed like a great boss...

Did you tell him it's what you reload if the police haven't come into the school yet??

Yes, it's called conflict of interest. Your question is a loaded question because it states that the officer "kills" the victim and it was "unjustly". Let's a officer is accused of causing the death of the victim. The cousin lawyer may not do all the work required to defend against the allegations or may hide evidence that he is innocent since it doesn't fit what they want.

On the other hand, maybe cousin lawyer hated the victim. Maybe the cousin slept with the lawyer's husband. Maybe the lawyer suspects she can get a payout in a civil court later if the cop is convicted.

The risks of these occurring are so great that this shouldn't even be considered and I think would be banned by the bar association.

I remember going to a presentation trying to sell timeshares back in the 90s. I was on vacation with my parents in Orlando Florida. If we went to an hour long presentation selling us time shares we would be given tickets to Disney world for 3 days and up to 4 people per party.

I have no idea how they afforded to do that, I know we didn't buy one and I just read a book(i think I was about 10) while waiting to go to Disney world. We did get the tickets and Disney world was enjoyable.

I love these posts and don't mean to complain but atleast for me it seems every image except the initial one is broken. It's only able to load the first image.

How to admit you are from the Midwest without directly admitting it...😉

I've told this story before but years ago(probably 2 if not 3 decades ago) I liked a song where a guy made sounds like "ohh bada bada bop ba" instead of actually singing. The only real line he sang that I remembered was "I'm the scat man"... So I went on to kazza, yes this was that long ago, and found a video called "scat man" and downloaded it... I hope I don't have to explain it was NOT a music video!

I am NT but here is my take...

  1. Typically any holiday is spent with your partner (if possible, exceptions can be made in advance... "I'm sorry I can't spend fourth of July with you, I need to work on that day" for example)

  2. Discuss limits, periodically confirm limits haven't changed. Maybe hanging out at a beach with a different potential partner is a limit. Maybe having dinner alone with a different potential partner is a limit. Maybe kissing is a limit. Maybe sex is a limit. Maybe the gender matters, if your partner is same gender as the other person may increase the limit(if your partner is a girl, she may not be ok with your kissing a girl but if fine with you kissing a guy for example). All these vary by partner.

  3. Communicate... Why is she upset? Was it timing? Would what you did be ok next weekend for example? Was it the activity? If you saw a movie with your friend would that be ok?

  4. I don't mean to be offensive about this one. Why did you leave your partner to spend time with another person? Did you not like spending time with your girlfriend? Did you prefer to be around your friend? Did you just need a break of the party but it's awkward to return to the party afterwards? Do you just not like that type of party and that's why you left?

All of these will influence your relationship. The biggest is going to be 3.... Communicate communicate communicate. Discuss these questions with your partner and you should have a better idea of what is acceptable and what isnt going forward.

See the corroding part scares me. Actual electrodes planted in the brain should never corrode. The company I work for actually makes brain implants(no, not nueralink) so I know it's possible.

That stuff is EXPENSIVE though ... So he must of cheaped out with a cheaper metal and that's why it corroded.
