You too.
Bad days come - bad days go. We remain and make them better.
How nice to hear that everyone has proceeded in better terms.
Hmmm, I feel a group hug approaching . . .
*hugs everyone*
I suppose I can be joining in an all, being that me bad spell has past!
All right Stan :D
an aside (this seems to be turning into the e-hug section as opposed ot bad day, but I be supposin that hugs, be better than B!T@#3n (the only word that rhymes with supposin)), :D
Is it just me or the forums has become blurry all of a sudden? And the streets, and trams and buses and people and... ah, so it's only me, lol :p
Welcome Isagel..and wow 10 years together..how you both do that? My last one only lasted for 2 months, eventhough I love him so till now :(>Quote:

Well they say you'll never know what you have till you lost it.
Ouch, sorry Sub.
OK I see this thread has drifted a little from the subject but I want to tell you about my day... I was yesterday at my favourite coffee house were I hang out a lot. and a waitor there who is 20 years older than me kept asking me about my breasts and my sex life! and he said 'please don't tell me you slept with Georg' a boy I was dating but never got really close to. he kept rubbing my shoulders and asked me to come with him to the Canary islands with him this summer. and for almost a month he's been begging me to kiss him.today I was at the coffee house with my friend and I told a girl who works there and I consider a friend of mine about the night before, she told the owner and he came to me and wanted the whole story and I told him because this was disgusting. I am 19 years old and he is 39, don't you think I was right to tell the owner? I came home a few minuets ago and I am still so mad at this waitor!
Helga that was pure, unadulterated sexual harrassment. what he did to you wasn't, never was, and will never be okay. if someone ever does that to you again, tell a manager immediately, hmm? he was absolutely wrong to lay a hand on you and to speak to you suggestively. in my profession i have to tell people before i touch them, because anything can be construed the wrong way anymore. what a cretin!
indeed, it appears to me that you did the right thing. If people like this are allowed to continue that type of behaviour, it will only escalate into greater misdeads.
I just hope he will be fired, cause I was talking to my brother and he said that if he will not be fired I should not hang out there anymore so they notice that they will lose customers if they keep him on.
the thing is that I love this coffee house I know all the waitors and one girl who works there told me that her two sons ask about the girl with the pipe when I'm not around. I can't imagine not hanging out there!
That waiter is one horrible person. :mad:
My question is, how come that place become your fav place with the fact that there's such an awful pathetic person working as a waiter there? I mean since it's your fav place and you hang out there alot, you should have been familiar with the waiters there and yet it's still one of your fav place..Quote:

Ugh, that sounds horrible, Helga! Compliments for being attractive, as he found in you, can only go so far, to where, like others said, they proceed to pathetic desperation and harrassment. I would have spoken with the manager too, and hopefully he/she fired that specific employee; if not, I would feel all the more annoyed - losing my favorite coffeehouse too for a reason like that would bother me immensely.
Take care, anyway, and hopefully things will heal themselves.
if he isn't fired the coffeehouse isn't worth favoring with your business, imho.
rant for two days: yesterday my exercise had to be abandoned because the page wouldn't load. today my computer took an ill-timed nap. considering my prof. reset a page for me, i'm a tad annoyed. hopefully, as it's almost identical to the in-class paper we got, i won't have to try this a third time...
and in other news, santa rosa junior college in northern california has a far more comprehensive anatomy program for nursing students than does my current uni. :( so kudos to srjc! :)

I know all the waitors and the owner personally, I hang out with some of them away from the coffeehouse. at first I just thought he had a crush on me and I thought it was kinda sweet. I don't get that attention a lot. but than it became weird and the other people who work there have been telling me for months to complain about him but I didn't want to for some reason... well, then I started getting messages from the internet about not dating a boy I wasn't even dating and the boy was getting them too, and I get strange phonecalls in the middle of the night from a privat number and just somebody breathing on the line. it's really creepy and I suspect the waitor.
I hope he will be fired cause a friend of mine, a girl that works here gave me a pepper spray because she wouldn't be suprised if he would just grab me on the street or something...
this is really creepy but I hope the owner will solve it...
Perhaps you should call the local authorities?
Helga, I am sorry to hear that you are going through such an unpleasant experience. Sometimes when we try not to be unkind towards others, they take it as a sign that we do not mind their advances. Although it can be hard, there are occasions that saying a firm 'no' would be acceptable and save us further headaches. This waiter seems to have taken advantage of your nice and quiet personality. You don't have to put up with such people. :)
I agree with Stan, Helga. If there is someone stalking you like that, call the police. If not them, call the phone company. They can trace the caller for you and then deal with that person appropriately.
new here, skimming through old posts, like this one...i went to halloween party, bumped into young male wearing kkk outfit..blew fuse, asked to leave. what's that saying, don't say anything, then they'll come for you? now harry's wearing swastikas, we're all going to hell in a handcart as mother would say

ouch!
ouch!
ouch!
ok, I guess my day isn't that rough after all. I was gonna complain that now that I'm unemployed (yes your tax dollars are paying me to sit here, well US residents, or maybe just Michigan - not sure) I've cleaned the house, organized my stuff, sorted through my clothes, books, and CDs. Now what can I do? To bad it isn't summer I could sit by the pool but what can I do in a foot of snow.
i am really sorry to hear that, kilted exile. :(
papayahed, only Michigan residents and whatever you contributed to your UI are footing the bill. it goes state by state.
Kilted Exile, I send what little comfort I can to you and your brother.
My regrets to you kilted, just don't go down the path of revenge and let it dominate your life, it is not the answer, for once on that path it is hard to change your life, and once revenge is dished out you will find that it leaves you hollow and purposeless. btw, I am not joking it is the truth.
I hope you and your family are blessed from now on.
Kilted exile and Helga - I really hope the rest of the new year will treat you better.
thanks Isagel, I hope so too...
by the way, the waiter hasn't been fired and he still pretends like every thing is fine. he tells me how much he likes me and asks about things I don't want to talk about, mainly my sex life, or lack of it, well he is just being disgusting. but I talked to the owner and he told me that as soon as he can find someone in his place he'll be gone.
I'm a regular customer, I know them all very well and I sit there and drink coffee for up to 10 hours (NO JOKE)and I don't want to be forced to leave because of him...
Going to take this opportunity to thank ppl for the comments relating to my recent misfortune. Worry not happiness is alive again.
just thought i would bump this up i am sure i will be needing this soon with the actually moving process really get under way.
Ah Shortysweetp, Keep us involved!

This seems like a bookworm's worst punishment and torture.
One would never think that scheduling an appointment with an optometrist would take so long, but I called weeks ago, and I must wait for almost two more weeks. Meanwhile, today, I spent some time at my usual favorite coffeehouse, enjoying my book (The Rainbow by D.H. Lawrence), and these headaches seem entirely inevitable and miserable. The pounding (almost pulsating) in my head did not seem too bad, so I continued reading, finished two chapters, and read some poetry by Robert Burns - what a mistake. I normally do not complain so much about pain (if someone saw me, with my collection of piercings, one may understand), but my head aches so badly that I feel noxious . . . and staring at this computer screen certainly does not help (for obvious reasons). :flare:

Mono, I am so very, very sorry for you!!
