What's on your mind today?

[Biggus Dickus]

You ever have one of those Friday's where you come into the office expecting it to be a somewhat easy day? You're dressed casually, everyone is in good sprits, there's a homemade apple pie in the refrigerator, and you've got your favorite coffee.

A relaxed weekend is looming on the horizon.

The sun is shining outdoors, and the boss is letting everyone out early at 3:30.

You think you'll be able to get caught up with some work, maybe even get ahead for Monday, and then one bloody critical and urgent issue after another hit's your desk and you start realizing, shit I may have to not only work late tonight, but most likely need to follow through and track some of these issues over the weekend.

Get your wife to accidentally* phone through to your boss saying "there is an emergency and that you need to come home immediately", then get her to say "sorry I'm looking for Bruno, could you put him through". Then you tell your boss that you can't explain and need to go immediately. You run off and go do whatever you want for a few hours then phone your boss saying that everything is sorted and that your kitchen had been flooded or something inane that you won't get flagged up on at a later date. Enjoy your weekend then pick everything up on Monday.

My favorite:
I love you.
I love you, but...I want a divorce.

I don't agree with this. It is possible to marry somebody you love who does not love you in return. There may come a point in that relationship where the love of one partner simply cannot overcome the negative behavior, whatever that may be, of the other partner. Suppose one partner cheats on the other? The partner who is cheated on could well still love the other but could simply not cope with the betrayal.

These are the type of relationships that usually end up using that sentence. I love you, but I cheated on you. I love you, but I'm leaving you. If you want a divorce and you want to leave, then you don't love them. Why would the other one say, I love you too, but not your cheating ass, and crappy behavior. There is no love there. People shouldn't say, I love you, but you're an asshole, always have been and always will be. It just doesn't make sense. Be honest, I don't love you, and I want to leave. I don't love you either, and I want you to leave.

Bruno, saying I love you too, but I don't like you all the time--is different.

You appear to have read my post from the point of view of the cheating partner. I was looking at it from the way.

Cheating doesn't negate love (though it most likely negate the other persons love) and I guess you could still love a person but not want to be in their life, say for example the relationship is abusive or unhealthy.

I guess you could still love a person but not want to be in their life,

"But I don't want to be in your life" cancels the "I love you." Abusive or unhealthy relationships are complicated, aren't they? I guess in these type of relationships, love is something you say, not something you do.

Thanks, and it's funny because with my wife's heavy accent she wouldn't have to explain much over the phone...they probably wouldn't understand half of what she said anyway

This type of subterfuge isn't necessary where I work. If I wanted I could just tell them I need to leave and take care of some things and I'll finish my work up at home, or simply take the afternoon off with no questions asked.

I'm have my role, and responsibilities and I take care of them, with no one really monitoring me or looking over my shoulder. Fortunately as well if there was a real emergency at home they would cover for me in an instant.

I'll grind through it, anyway the morning was hectic, but things have quite down a bit. I had thought we had a serious quality issue at one of the plants, but it turned out they had the wrong supplier (A smart, but young and somewhat new engineer from our customer made a mistake)

Still don't really feel like adult-ing today.

That's what I meant when I said that's my favorite. I hear it on TV all the time when some confesses to the other that they cheated. They always start with..."You know I love you, but..." The other one always says, "If you love me, you wouldn't cheat."

WHY would someone want an ass like a Nissan Leaf?!

Vega "is a premium brand of convenient, plant-based, real-food alternatives." Real food, that is a phrase that irks me, what isn't real food? I buy these Eat Real Crisps (lentil chips are the best) and they are really  nice but the name bugs me big time. A chemical is real and most food use extracts of some sort. Chemicals make food much better.

I honestly didn't notice that on the sticker, I only picked it because I liked the Butt-Heart design (Or is it "Heart-Butt"?)

Real Food is one of those marketing slogans that's really popular here at the moment, like I recall and add not too long ago I was hearing frequently on the radio for McDonalds in which they touted how they used a "Freshly Cracked Egg" in each of their breakfast sandwiches.

Freshly cracked as opposed to what?

So I think we all can safely assume from this statement that His Greyness doesn't prefer Big-Butts!

I apologize for that outburst.
