The Whining and Bitching Thread

holy crap. $6000 a year is a big chunk of change. What I would do is contact your company's HR department (if they have one...they should). Most HR departments have a pretty good confidentiality thing when dealing with issues. I think going directly to your boss and getting pissed would do more harm than good

No HR department. We are a small organization of 5 people.

And yeah, I agree that getting angry at my boss would do more harm than good since he holds all the power. Quitting soon seems to be my only option. It sucks because I'll only have been in the new "promoted" role for about a month though, which doesn't look great on a resume. I think my best option is to find something new ASAP and if possible, move into it seamlessly from this job.

i spent the last 9 days hanging out with some chick named debora
and this morning some guy that i've never seen before in my life is telling me to stay the hell away from her
what the fucking hell?!?!?

 

[Zephyrus]

That doesn't sound weird at all.

 

[SentinelSlain]

It means he's jealous rather than actually with her.

 

[Einherjar86]

Oh you know him?

 

[waif]

FINAAAAAAAAAAAALS


That is all.

I like the feeling of not having to do those.

 

[Zephyrus]

Haha I'm making them, not taking them.

I was supposed to be getting baked and watching movies with this one dude last night, but then he decides he just wants to sleep when I told him that he gets none of my pizza if he doesn't agree to stay up. Ugh. But whatever, I still had fun. He didn't help, though.

yeah
homeless guys are sometimes crazy like that

Does anyone know any good books that are either self help guides for dealing with insecurity or beginner's psychology books that deal with the matter in a way that's helpful for someone suffering from it?

I'll probably get some criticism for this, but reading Atlas Shrugged played a significant role in me getting over my insecurity issues when I was 18.

what exactly do you mean by "insecurity"

do you mean always being horny-as-hell and being "insecure" in a way that prevents you from getting laid???
or do you mean something totally non-sexual???

i'm actually asking a question here

 

[Zephyrus]

Greek Tragedy helps me.

 

[SentinelSlain]

It's all sex related insecurity that probably stems from too many isolated years of virginity in my late teens. I don't know if it's curable.

Finding out about my MBTI type helped me as an introvert surrounded by extroverts.

None of these suggestions sounds very helpful so far... not that i have a good one myself. I'm sure you could find something decent online with the right search terms though.

Personally i've been wanting to read this copy of "What Every BODY Is Saying" i came across thru one of those 'everything you need to know to get laid' kinda pages they have on Reddit. The book's written by an FBI investigator or something, and it's all about how to interpret body language.

edit: i found it from one of these pages V5 linked me to a while ago

That's a very useful skill. Just don't overanalyze with it, because some things can mean other things (depending on the context), and you can miss that.

I might get the book Strauss mentioned in The Game on NLP.
