I am a bank teller. This girl at work (Mindy) is very lazy and whiney and still gets special treatment. She was scheduled to work till 6:30 this Friday. I was schedule to work till 5. Mindy asked my supervisor, "Mary", if she could work earlier. Mary sent an email saying "I need you to work till 6:30 on friday. Mindy can't because it is her son's birthday."
Anyway, I sent back a short email saying that I would.
Mary sent me another email saying "I appreciate it. Thanks for being a team player." This made me so mad I could spit nails! Has this ever happened to you? What would you do.

His mother is dying of lung cancer and three tumors in her brain. He's on heroin, along with numerous drugs. He refuses to enter rehab. He has a father who doesn't really care a wit about this. He openly contemplates suicide, although he used to fear the thought of it. Now it's as though he's actually considering it, because he claims he has nothing left to do in life. "I've had sex, I've loved, I've traveled, I've done everything there is to do." Although I disagree with that last statement, he has a very dead view on his own life. He's 20 years old and doesn't plan on attending college. He doesn't have many friends, ergo, very few people that care about him, or that this would harshly affect.

I think that's all the necessary info.
If you need to know anything else, I'll add it in.

Help please? My world would come crashing down if this happened. :(

I was sitting in the waiting room to get interviewed...and this incredibly hansome guy was talking to me, and was very nice. Was saying things like "you'll do fine, just be social"....And I just didn't say much, and was so uncomfortable and quiet...I just kept repeating "yeah, thanks" and stuff. Finally he gave up trying to make conversation.

Then during the interview, I was just plain awkward and couldn't answer several questions....I hate myself, I'll never get anywhere in life. What is there to live for anymore?

Today our English teacher was talking about making presentations in front of a group, and she was like, "well some people can talk very easily in front of a whole bunch of people, whereas some other people are shy and may not be able to talk as easily..."
and then my friend right there was like, "ahem *says my name* ahem." and then the whole class looks in our direction.
I mean, it IS true that I HATE giving presentations, but that's NO reason to point it out to the entire class--they already know about it. Besides, I'm very sensitive to this sort of thing and I HATE people pointing out how quiet or shy I am. I already feel bad about it, and I'm working to change, but it's not easy.
Should I have said anything back? I was SOOO mad after that I couldn't say anything to her.

I think we should have a fine balance on imports/exports. Although foreign-manufactured products are cheaper, ou country has seen the consequences of relying on inexpensive imports. American companies should definitely limit their foreign contracts. This imbalance of trade also has cost the American people jobs.

What's up with (non-feminist blowhard Yale literary critic) Harold Bloom criticizing Lessing already?

"American literary critic Harold Bloom called the academy's decision 'pure political correctness. Although Ms. Lessing at the beginning of her writing career had a few admirable qualities, I find her work for the past 15 years quite unreadable ... fourth-rate science fiction'"?

I've only had sex with my gf 5 times and ive been utterly unable to attain orgasm.

ive read on numerous forums that the problem lies with the guy so what is wrong with me?

some details..

1. i find her very very attractive
2. i get erect (because of 1)
3. when we were doing it i was drugged with flu and cold medicine. (could that have affected me?)
4. she orgasmed and says she can feel me quite well inside of her.

5. All i felt was wet and warm and i dont know


Ive also read that something must be psychologically wrong with a guy who cant orgasm with a woman. is that true? am i crazy?

what i believe is wrong is that
1. im too small to feel anything but she denies that because b4 i told her i faked orgasms she said i was 8 inches (7 1/2) and that she felt me quite well. so that cant be it
2. she is either too wet and i dont get enough friction to feel anything or she is too big genitalia wise. *but i love wet its tasty*
3. or as stated b4 the cold meds could have messed wit
