It was basically one of those high school girl drama moments(although everyone involved are 18+). In this case, two girls don't get along and have had internal issues building for weeks, one of them reaches their breaking point and reports the other to their boss for slacking off and other things(taking days off for reasons which they made up, or taking extended breaks during the day, all of which were true). The one who got reported then gets her boyfriend(who also works with her and has had similar complaints about) to step in. He then gets into a long profanity filled verbal altercation with that other girl and very close to physical altercation(if not for others standing in the middle).

Bosses had to step in, basically "hiding" that one girl while they kicked out the other girl and her bf (others were threatening to walk out if those 2 didn't get kicked out). Although that didn't stop him from slipping away and trying to find out where she was. Eventually when leaving, they needed to be escorted out to make sure nothing happened in the parking lot (like not actually leaving, or going after her car)

And from what people have said, this guy has (self admittedly) been fired in the past for causing physical damage to personal property at a prior job, so he seems like a loose cannon.

The problem between those 2 girls probably could've been resolved, but what her BF said/did, that's clearly workplace abuse and not something which is tolerated.

So the girl went berzerk for getting rightfully called on her BS then gets her violent BF into the mix. Those two sound like the worst and everyone's better for them not being around anymore.

Today marks a year since my mom passed.

Feels surreal.

My pop passed on 27 years ago and the first year was the hardest. Since then, I think of him everyday and now when I do, it always puts a smile in my heart.

I don't even know if that girl went crazy or not. She doesn't seem like that type of person. If anything, she has been one of the nicer people around. More likely she just went to her BF all upset and he was the one to fight her battle and snap. Probably getting dragged down in life because of her BF.

So, a slightly less trashy/more employed episode of Jerry Springer? With the bosses playing the role of Steve. Would like to see how Seung-hwan Oh fits into this story. Maybe those bosses should bring this issue to him.

When I built my house, I found that I must have built overtop of the spider motherload. It felt like I killed like 3 a day for 3 months straight. I've tried using Ortho Home Defense and other stuff and I've found a decent removal of spiders has been vinegar...I just doused the entry way to my garage and my basement door and haven't had an issue since.

However, I cannot keep beetles away. These stupid things are like insect tanks that can get thru any type of home defense I put down.

Fire. The answer is fire.

So almost one year to the day that my mom passed(she passed a year ago yesterday), my Grandma (my mom's mother) passed away this morning. Today was her 85th birthday.

Damn...

Just some closure on all this, looks like both got fired. Seems like in my off day everything got decided on and everyone isn't talking about it anymore.

It had to happen, but on a personal level, sucks seeing someone dragged down by people they associate themselves with(in this case, date). She was one of the people who helped me out and was genuinely nice to me the entire time. I usually have a good judge of character, and imo, she's better than what she's settling for. Hopefully in future she'll realize it. I always hate seeing good people fall down the wrong path, especially when they have such big potential.

Oh yeah, I definitely read that wrong.

What would be a polite but effective way to tell people to leave you alone?

I'm trying to come up with a way to do it without insulting anyone or coming off like a jackass.

re: Off-Topic

I got a real 1st world issue right now LOL

So there was a power outage for a few hours on Saturday. Once power came back on everything was working fine but as it relates to my computer NONE of the ports are forwarding. I've tried everything i've looked up. One possible issue may be the firmware of my router is corrupted and may need a factory reset and i'm so not good at all this technological mumbo jumbo. I'm calling my ISP tomorrow and see what happens. I guess the worst that could happen is I get a new router or someone comes over and rejiggers it all.
