Rylan's Thread of Personal Committed Relationships

[no name]

Rylan, sorry it's a little late, but next time you run into her, put on prince - I wanna be your lover, then just mentally prepare yourself for raising a kid 9 months later.

Can't go wrong with Prince, good song.

[MRandall25]

I don't know who I am running into...but when I run into this fate of a girl, you bet your sweet ass I will throw on some Prince. Prince MFn Charming.

He may have meant me.

I could also start an air band, right eddy?

Yes, that would certainly be appropriate.

You'd be surprised by how well that used to work.

It actually worked? I always thought that was a thing just for the movies.

It definitely worked. Before all recorded music in history was a few clicks away and free, acquiring interesting music was costly and took being "in the know". Then you had to cue up all the songs, normalize the levels, etc so that putting together a 90 min tape could take hours. Wouldn't you be impressed that someone you were interested in spent hours putting together something for you?

Just want to remind people that the zoo always works for a date.

[meow]

Take her to the zoo.

Is that an LGP running joke or is that actual advice?

I think it could be classified as a bump but is good advice nonetheless. Girls like zoos.

A couple drinks at the bar and a cab ride home seems like a more efficient strategy.

Yeah I don't disagree its a good date, I was just confused since it was brought up so much. Thought maybe something funny happened to an LGP'er on a zoo date that I didn't know about.

[KennyTheKangaroo]

Rocky?

[Willie Kool]

LOL - yes. Dudeman, google 'take her to the zoo'.

Dear Miss Gabby: I have been having an affair with my boss. We are beyond just the physical stuff and enjoy each others company, a lot. Well, at least in lunch. We pronounce our love for each other. We both are married with middle school aged children. I have 3 and he has 5. He said his wife is driving him nuts and really wants to leave her, and my husband is a bum that won't get a job. I can't stand him being around my kids.We both committed to each other that we will divorce our spouses and get married.

Well, I told my husband that I am leaving him, and when I told my new lover, he seemed shocked! I asked when he was going to tell his wife he was leaving and he left the room in a hurry saying something about a conference call he was missing. I went to lunch and he quietly left for the day. He has called in to work 'sick' for the past three days, and won't return my calls or texts. Miss Gabby, what should I do? I have already told my husband that I am leaving and am afraid that my new lover isn't leaving his wife.

Signed, Crazy in Cucamonga

Spoiler:

"Well, Crazy, your new lover is clearly using you for his workday fun and diversion away from his unhappy home life. There is really only one thing that you can do at this point. Get in touch with your company's HR and report him. Let them know that you are now unable to perform your job and demand that they fire him for forcing a grown woman with children to upend her life for a bowl of dreams. That will show that low-life two-timing loser who is really boss."

Investigation complete, 8 employees of this office of 14 are terminated for various policy violations, and 2 field employees terminated for conducting company business at a local strip club. From a single affair, once the investigation started, people were so quick to throw the next person under the bus.

My work week just turned into 14 days of straight clean up for a group that I have zero accountability for, but am close enough to to keep travel expense low.

That's real, BigMcK? Or is it just a reference to something I don't understand...?

[BigMcK]

Unfortunately, true. The manager had a rising star tag on his career,; the assistant was lonely. He took advantage of the situation and played her. She let the relationship eat her alive and quit. On the way out, she said she could no longer work for a manager that lied and wasn't honest. She then filed a claim, our HR investigated the claim, and during the process, she showed a few 'selfies' of them taken in his office. He denied, they both were released. She started mentioning names of other office mates that were drinking on the job, over paying some employees on their payroll check for kickbacks, and the whole mess unraveled. Hourly employees that were using a company credit card to purchase Christmas items. On and on, on and on. The company smartly brought in managers not associated with the group to fix it. The GM that oversaw the team was based out of state and only visited once a quarter.

I take it as something like this played out that he actually handled. I'm more curious now, however.

Curiosity now fixed.

Damn...what a disasterbacle...

(Many) men are pigs and (many) women are stupid.

[dodint]

Wow. No wonder you don't say much during warz. You have your hands full over there.

[count2infinity]

(Many) men are pigs and (many) women are stupid.

I guess I don't fully understand from this story how the guy is a pig and the woman is stupid... they are both disgusting and both idiotic. In my mind there is no divide in this particular story.

[Troy Loney]

Companies need to be more responsible with who they give power to.

[Letang Is The Truth]

with great power comes great responsibility

Lol I rarely understand what BigMcK is saying

Because he led her on that he was going to leave his wife and she believed him and yes, they are both stupid and idiotic.
