You’re going to be out in Toronto for work for a while, so maybe you should start making new friends. You claim that all the friends you need are back here in NS, but you’re literally out there by yourself and spend your weekends alone, and blowing up mine and your friends’ phones, complaining about being so bored. You’re clearly miserable being in a giant city with no social life. We can’t be there to hang with you, so maybe go volunteer and meet new people??
And way to blow a perfectly great opportunity to make new friends by not attending your office Christmas party! Over 50 people in the company, meaning over 50 potential friends, and you decided to stay home. Your excuse? You have no interest in your co-workers because apparently, according to you, an office work environment comes second to a hair salon for two-faced gossiping assholes! Oh, yes, I’m sure every damn person employed in that company is a two-faced asshole. Maybe you should start giving people a chance! Not every new person who comes into your life is an ogre who will stab you in the back! —Sis from back home

I have to agree with Miss Antisocial there. Who the fuck really enjoys these office Xmas parties?? They are awkward. Fuck this team building bullshit, nobody wants it. Give your employees a Xmas bonus and be done with it. An’ Secret Santa can kiss my azz too.
Yeah, I’m really not down with hanging out with the same people I am paid to around for forty plus hours a week. However, if I was in a new city with few or any friends I’d reconsider my stance for the short term.
And straight up No_fool, the only team building I do is buy tickets for our liquor and wine baskets at Christmas.
OCCUPATIONAL ASSHOLE CRITERIA
“You have no interest in your co-workers because apparently, according to you, an office work environment comes second only to a hair salon for two-faced gossiping assholes.” Sis from back home
What, in general or philosophical terms, is being claimed here? It appears that the bitcher, “Sis from back home,” is claiming that, for her sister – this is getting complicated – certain occupations by their nature incline their practitioners to be two-faced gossiping assholes.
However, Sis does not specify exactly just sort of office her sister is working in – do all offices regardless of their nature produce two-faced gossiping assholes? It appears that Sis’s sister regards hair salons in the first rank of two-faced gossiping asshole production but – and this is important – on what grounds does she make the claim?
If occupation is the decisive factor in producing two-faced gossiping assholes one might ask about the models on the fashion cat-walk. Surely the number of two-faced gossiping assholes in that pursuit are thick on the ground (thick on the cat-walk?). And what about those employed in houses of ill repute, in particular those wall-flowers who do not entice their quota of trade? Surely there must be a large number of two-faced gossiping assholes there as well?
Clearly, what is required is more fine-grained analysis of the role of certain occupations which, by their natuire, tend to produce two-faced gossiping assholes. Clearly, more work is required.

A pleasure as always.
Cheerio!
Cohorting with co-workers is the WORST idea. But, if it’s a temporary thing, utilize them to meet others outside the office. Or buy a really big dildo….
beautiful girls MM. and yes, just good memories now.
Thanks Bad dog, they were beautiful as you say. I gave you a “like” but, incredibly, someone gave you a “dislike.” I wonder who it could be. I think I know.
like the gambler in a Kenny rogers song, I don’t count at the table. when I die, perhaps I may care about likes and dislikes. but not in this lifetime. lol
It’s not so much about caring abut the “likes” and “dislikes” themselves which I certainly don’t, but rather about the mind of the individual who always posts them on my comments, even when the subject matter is two innocent dogs. We all know who it is, don’t we. What an asshole.
I would say that the office you work in, MM, has at least one “two faced, gossiping asshole”
“It’s not so much about caring abut the “likes” and “dislikes” themselves which I certainly don’t, but rather about the mind of the individual who always posts them on my comments, even when the subject matter is two innocent dogs.”
What dislikes on your comments? You have zero on this thread there, MM. I know, sometimes life is hard.
