im having bariatric surgery on april 3

hope everything goes well reprise. how much time off from work do you have to recover?

thanks. two weeks.

So everyone who is left here is all of a sudden being really nice to each other and supportive and hospitable. Wow it’s almost like you’re all trying to prove wrong about how Netphoria really is. Like how people act a different way when self consciousness or shame / guilt / insecurity enters the picture

We don't even need to bring shame or guilt or insecurity into this. We can just leave it at self consciousness.

O Catering, you are as mischievous as a megalothon is mighty!

i started my period april 3, 2001

Any idea when it's going to stop?

My cat was begging for potato chips and I was distracted and didn’t really think about it because I was doing some heinous reading for Uni and then before I knew it, the inevitable happened, and there I was, about to knock on my parents’ bedroom door and call out Mum, Dad, the cat threw up and then I realised fuck. I’m 39. Nobody is coming to help me, I have to clean up this fucking cat spew all by myself

menopause, i guess. we didn't really learn that in high school. but i think my mom has stopped bleeding and she is 58.

u guyz are gonna love this. so i was part of a group project that was fucking awful because two girlies did not do shit. instead of telling you the story, i will show you the email i just sent. sorry, i could not NOT send it:

I did not want to send a group text because I don't want to call either of you out in a group text. But in the future, if you two ever have a group project, for sake of your group, do your work.

Guilia, for not having read the chapter and needing the book in front of you for the entire time, you wasted so much of our group's time by rambling and reading from the book (and saying "like" way too much). And I know you know that there was no effort behind your slides.

Alexis, you did not do a thing and then attempted to present my work. I noticed you also took notes from my slides and added them to your points in the shared GoogleDoc. This was the morning the presentation was due, yet you were in class trying to read the chapter in a hurry. So had you read or not?

When I was your age and lazy about school, I did myself everyone a favor and dropped out. There are better ways to spend your time than going to school to avoid doing work and getting lousy grades because of it.

This kind of stuff lessens the value education, which is silly to do because it costs so much--for most people. And not liking a class is not an excuse to be lazy, especially when other people are relying on you to do your work.

Good luck in school and life.

idgaf

do you sign all your emails as "i n c l u d e"?

Y - S - E - M

I - A - D - B

in english

F yeah

Tell em

(just not irl)

Goddamn, this is devastating

Had to do it to em

dropped the elbow

Fucking millenials.

What effect do you expect this to have on them? Have you thought of the possibility that they might just lol and carry on being useless? I've never had any hope in people actually getting their shit together when it comes to group work.

group work made me anxious in elementary school and it still makes me anxious today

because sometimes you have to "pick your group"

this actually led to a case in high school where I ended up with no group at all and just took a Zero for a project

and also last time I did a group project I did a whole additional project by myself as a back up just in case anyone flaked

no faith, no chances

In college I did most of the work myself in group projects because I did not trust anyone else with my grades. In high school I was the flake.

I have group work, but I’m in a group with an international PhD student from Brazil who is on sabbatical from his law practice, an international student from Delhi, and a Maori student from a local iwi who is very invested in the coursework. I’m the flaky sleep deprived mother returning to work, who didn’t manage to finish the week’s readings and checks her phone every five minutes to see if her teenage son has arrived on campus from his after school trombone lesson yet

Doesn’t feel that great surprisingly

We’ve had one week of lectures and I’m already very behind and thinking about dropping out

Yay for vixnix, the flake loser millennial dropout

this girl walked up to me at walgreen's and told me i had a warm aura and wanted to read my palm for $60. girl, please. get off my aura. all talkin' about venmo and whatnot like i have a smartphone and would be willing to pay if only it were just a little easier to do so. pshaw.

del

double del

This is your cue rbg. You pay that phone bill she’s all yours. And you can have beautiful half Latino / half Jewish babies with her. Don’t sleep on this. She’s talking about her period in here too. Hint hint

I’m paying several different phone bills at the moment so I’m not interested

^chump

your reading comprehension skillz are da worst. ain't nobody need no phone bill paid.

amazing

Rbg is Jewish so you know he’s good for it.

And I am a chump for paying several phone bills. I admit that. No shame in my game

You can get Tom to pay for half the phone bill and rbg to pay for other half

Oh, that's tragic. You're being taken for a ride and have somehow convinced yourself it's living the good life.

I don’t pay the phone bill when they are on their period. Cus that’s not time I’m actually spending with them

Yes, I have heard of these phone plans that allow opting out of funding a handful of days per month.

tom?
