MM disagrees with you. Rolling up to Southern every day is the highlight of her life.
re: Anyone ever get prescribed ADD meds just to produce more at work?

Not for work but I did for schoolwork. Take it sometimes if I wanna get personal shite done, like pressurewashing siding and driveway or painting boat, etc.
I had to go to dr and he gave a bunch of tests on computer, shapes and colors coming at you really fast and you gotta call them out. I missed a few on purpose and they gave me Adderall. Also there was a quiz "do you have trouble concentrating?" "Do you lose your keys or other items?" "Do you start movies without finishing them?" A few YES answers and that was it.
I'm not proud of this but at that time in my life I was desperate to squeeze more hours into my day.

re: Anyone know women actually doing well selling Rodan and Fields?

Knew a gay guy who sold Mary kay. He did really well. He was so outgoing and friendly and excited about the products. Ended up quitting his full time job and just selling makeup.
Went to an uncle's graveside July service when I was about 14. Right in the middle of the hot as hell service, I fainted. I just remember some other family members helping me walk to the car and sit in the air conditioning. I was so humiliated.

They are mad because Janet got the blame for the other super bowl thing. It really wasn't fair if you think about it. She got roasted.

re: International, National, or Local...who is the worst SJW of all and why?

Hahaha. Every time her husband takes a pic it's like he doesn't know where the camera is. He looks like an idiot. Those kids, and KB's too, will grow up to hate themselves. They're having all this "white people suck" crap shoved down their throats. If we tell black girls that "black girl magic" exists because they are always told white people are better, then what will happen to these kids who are always told black people are better? Keep wearing that "I'm rooting for everybody black" shirt while your kids compete against black kids, MM. Maybe KB can get you a discount with one of her fourteen therapists.
Why can't we just root for everybody? Do we want harmony or not?

MM just overdoes it for me to believe she's genuine. Am I really supposed to believe her kids only play with black dolls, she only watches black movies and her life and kids are completely devoted to 100% supporting black businesses? I don't buy it. Supposedly she cried the other day because she's so emotionally moved by being at Southern for law school. Doubtful story. Nobody is THAT into their "causes". I think she does it because she has a site where she sells stuff, and these people buy it from her. She and KB both profit off of their political positions.
I've done volunteer work in NBR but I don't make it all about myself or do it for attention. I just do it (I've done tutoring for high schoolers) because I honestly want to help those kids succeed.

re: Useless meetings and other nonsense
Posted by NOLA08179 on 2/3/18 at 1:04 pm to ElectricWizard0
Everyone around the office jokes that he is exactly Michael Scott. Spends meetings calling himself a "fearless leader" and "superstar director". Everyone just looks around the table and exchanges looks.
Meetings never produce anything in our unit. Boss routinely tells employees he refuses to learn software or processes because he's not capable of doing so. Why would you tell your team that? And at that point, stop micromanaging if you're stupid anyway. I've only worked here 3 months and I don't want to look like I'm job hopping but I can't imagine being here long term.
Useless meetings and other nonsense
Posted by NOLA08179 on 2/3/18 at 10:54 am
Has anyone figured out how to get their boss to stop having useless meetings? We have meetings a few times a week and everyone but the boss seems to realize they're useless. He is completely clueless on everything and most of the meetings are just us explaining basic crap to him while he gives us blank stares. It holds everybody back from doing work.
In total, boss has about 20 meetings per week. It seems to be all he does. Complains that he works 60+ hours weekly but none of it actually leads anywhere.
Turnover because of boss is astronomical. Clueless but micromanages. HR DGAF apparently.
Any suggestions?

Lots of people I know selling it don't even need the money. I know nurses, speech therapists, pharmacists, retail district managers and physician assistants who sell this crap or similar stuff.
Only thing I can think of is they use it as a tax write off. Had a girlfriend who sold cosmetics once and the district leader lady who signed her up told her she can write off car payments, gas, going out to eat, getting hair done, tanning, etc. and basically pay no taxes. Obviously girlfriend didn't do that but I bet there's plenty who do.
So a speech therapist making $80k or whatever could write off all that and only pay taxes on whatever little bit of makeup she sold and then figure expenses in and only be taxed on $50k or whatever of her total salary. Otherwise why beg people to buy stuff when you are doing ok financially?

Honestly though we have too many damn people on BR roads every day. At this point the suburbs have grown so much, and will keep doing so, that another form of transportation needs to be considered. A monorail or something. I came here when Katrina hit so I admit I am part of the problem. I'll be gone as soon as I can. Real estate in BR is too expensive for what you're getting.
Black male LSU professor told us "racists like to make up excuses for why blacks live in poverty, they try to blame it on us and say that it's because 70% of our kids don't have fathers, but the poverty is really because of the modern day slavery that occurs in prisons and because of systemic racism, people just like to blame it on our community". Dropped that class because I could see my letter grade dropping just for being a white male.
re: Sjw family member told me “EBT users pay taxes the same as you and me”

Yeah, I meant from a government perspective, taxes buy candy then pay dentist bills. And apparently these days, people on Medicaid get gift cards and shite to take their kids to the doctor. I heard it on the radio. It said receive prizes and incentives for completing your child's wellness checks when you have Louisiana Amerigroup Medicaid. I do know someone whose kid is on Medicaid and she told me she got a gift card for taking her daughter for a check up.
Where are the prizes for me when I get taxes held out?

I worked at a grocery store once and had a lady come through and spend $50 on Easter candy. She swiped that EBT card and I felt sure it would be declined but nope. Paying for candy then paying for kids to see the dentist seems counterproductive to me.
I wish it was more of the WIC system, a certain list of staples that you can get.

re: New Louisiana law aims to get taxes owed by online shoppers
Posted by NOLA08179 on 1/19/18 at 1:04 am to LSUFanHouston
What if I bought stuff that I gave to others? Bought my mom some gifts for Mother's Day last year. She lives in MS. So those gifts are not being used in LA. But JBE still wants some of that? He can go frick himself. LA was one of the states that lost thousands of residents last year. I can sure as hell see why.

Same answer I give, I just say I don't like any politicians. They tell me that's cause I have privilege. Lol.
