bl1210 FWIW I have a tattoo on my upper back and I don't think it hurt nearly as bad as the one on my wrist. I also have low pain tolerance.

Real question & no snark intended...what kind of job do you have that is cool with visible tattoos? I've always wanted a wrist tattoo but I feel like I would be severely limiting future job opportunities.

Someone just scheduled a meeting from 5 - 6 p.m. today. In my mind all I can think of is "ASSHOLE"

Does this same person also schedule 8 am meetings on Mondays and 3 pm meetings on Fridays?

My boss does that.

My boss loves to schedule lunch meetings. GRRRRRRRRRR

This is a new team I'm working with. I'll go to this meeting, just because I'm a "team player"

Me and B both have them and work in HR currently.  She is in restaurants and I am in manufacturing, but I worked for a state agency previous to coming here, and it was not an issue.

I work for a major shipping company in a formal office. I have a tatoo on my inner leg thats very visible in skirts. I see a few people with inner wrist/forearm ones. no one comments. 
Its not as big of a thing as it used to be.

I know my current company is SUPER conservative & would not be down with it or hire anyone with any type of visible tattoos or piercings. I think it's made me feel like all companies are like this.

icaughtfire Most of my friends either wear bracelets or long sleeves in an office setting. I am in social services and I don't know anyone who has been hindered by tattoos. That i'm aware of, anyway. Also because it's on the inside of your wrist it's much less noticeable than you would think.

How does one (tactfully) quit a job?

Background: I started here January 5, 2015. It is a real estate office. I did not apply for the position, a friends mom recommended me for the position (she works here). I asked multiple times for a job description, was never given one, so decided I would give it a try. Well I alternate between being annoyed and being bored here. DH said that I can quit anytime I want, because I can always help out with his business (also real estate, but we own the company).

So I want to quit on good terms, to maintain the friend ship with the girl and her mom who sought me out for this position. Also, the company is fairly small and I really am not needed, the other two office girls could definitely manage without me.

I am thinking about telling them that I can stick around (if they want/need me to) until July 24, 2015 while they try to fill the position. I have also completely organized my office area, and made it MUCH nicer than when I started so it will be very easy for someone to step into my position.

HELP! Please!A two week notice is usually the best way to stay on friendly terms with the company.  Offering to stay until they fill the position is going above that so you should be good.

How I imagine every morning at Rama's house:

[badwolf]

Ugh, someone just complained about me to my boss via email and completely misquoted what I told him on the phone. Part of me wishes I had been an ass to him when he called now. The logical part of me knows that would have made things worse. I guess we'll see whether management here supports their employees or throws them to the wolves.

I used to have my eyebrow pierced, and got the state agency job with it.  After being forced to take it out at a previous job, I decided that I was not going to take it out to appease a company to hire me.  If they would not hire me the way that I was, I didn't want to work for them.

I realize that this was because at the time I had the option to change jobs, and be picky. It was more of a symbol than I realized at the time, for me being honest about who I was. I would not at this point choose to work for a company that made me cover up my tattoos. They all have meaning and are not obscene in any way.  On most days, you can only see two of my six while I am at work.

I'm back from my long weekend in New Orleans with my mom and sister! We had a great time, only minimal family drama.... until my flight home was cut short on my Dallas layover due to storms. I spent last night in the airport and flew out at 5 am. Luckily I was able to find two cushy armchairs in the terminal that I pulled together to make a little bed. I probably only slept like 2 hours, but then slept the entire flight back to DC this morning. I also got myself a McDonald's breakfast, and that's always a treat. I guess it could have been worse. I'm going to shower and work the afternoon from home where nobody can see me looking like a hot haggard mess.

I get to have bourbon and burgers and duck confit french fries tonight. I am overly excited about all three! It's making it possible for me to survive today.

Mmmm! What flavor? (My dad makes the *best* homemade chocolate milkshakes and now I'm craving one!)

Probably chocolate tonight maybe with some fresh strawberries. We have chocolate ice cream and chocolate silk milk. Should be pretty rich. I might pick up some PB2 (powdered peanut butter) this weekend too. My Pinterest board for drinks has been updated a lot in anticipation.

If it has ice cream in it, then it is a frappe.

I honestly dont know this company at all.

I decided to get a purse repaired instead of buying a new one....its going to cost me $5 super glad its cheap!

I have to do this once a year with my favorite heels. The shoes themselves have held up incredibly well, but the little plastic/rubber tip on the heel itself wears down really quickly for me. $7 for a repair vs $50 for a new pair? Sold.

I think you've just got to tell them. The job is not what you believed you'd be doing, and it's time to move on. You're not obligated to stay in a job you hate because of friendship. Give notice of course, but two months' notice? If you're that annoyed / bored, it'll only continue / get worse over the summer. Two weeks, or maybe even a month if you're feeling generous is sufficient.

I only consider the option to stay until July because before seeking me out, they had a really hard time finding a qualified candidate, and I really don't want to leave them high and dry. I do like the girls that I work with. 

What about cutting down to part time? If there's really not much for you to do and most of it can be handled by the two office girls, you could pose it to them as a cost saving measure, either permanently or while they're looking for someone new.

Did you go to a restaurant for your first date? If so, can you go there again?

People who do that are the worst. They're right up there with the people who clip their nails in their cubicle.

Milkshakes have ice cream. Frappes have coffee.

Happy Anniversary!  Did you go on a honeymoon?  Was there a certain dish you both loved on the trip?  Maybe you can find a restaurant that serves it!

I just Googled this & I'm sorry New England is so broken.

For everyone else confused: In New England, a milkshake is milk + syrup shaken vigorously to make frothy flavored milk.

"Syrup" meaning like, maple syrup? Or just some sort of flavored syrup?

I could live with it being something like chocolate syrup.

I seriously have never heard of this before now.

We're new to NE, and I just had a NE Milkshake for the first time a couple weeks ago. They're good, but a milkshake will always and forever be ice cream, milk, and flavoring for me.
