Reminds me of a party where there were beers and wines and a cheese platter and a chicken salad and at some point people discovered there was no chicken in the chicken salad. In case some of you aren't able to crack this mystery: I had eaten all the bits of chicken from the chicken salad. Went well with the cheeses.

Does "chicken salad" mean something else in Finland, or are you literally confessing to leaving a sad bowl of celery mayonnaise in your wake?

My boss wants me in the office 35 hours a week, but will only pay me for 5 of them. I'm employed as a counselor at a small mental health agency in Colorado. I am not an independent contractor. From my understanding, it's fairly common for employers in my field to only pay clinicians for "billable hours" or hours that you're actually seeing a client. This is the arrangement that my boss and I have, and originally he told me that I would have no issues getting clients since the agency has a long wait list. After getting hired, I found out this is not the case and I currently only see 5 people a week. The issue I'm having is that my boss has told me that he wants me to stay in the office from 9am to 4 pm, Monday through Friday to be available incase there is a walk-in client. He is not paying me for these 30 hours that I'm in the office but not seeing anyone. I'm not making enough from the clients I do see (about one a day) to cover the other hours that I'm in the office. This means that I'm making considerably below minimum wage for my state. I'm already looking for a new job because I can't pay my bills at this point. I'm relatively new to this field, and I have no idea if this is legal? I've asked my supervisors, however, they're all independent contractors so they don't know what to tell me. Am I entitled to at least make minimum wage for the time that I'm being required to be in the office?

There were some tomatoes and cucumber and poo poo in there too. Effectively I created a regular salad out of chicken salad. To be honest at about two o'clock I really didn't think anyone would notice. I was wrong.

AITA for confronting my stepdaughter about the way she treats my wife? I started dating my now wife when my stepdaughter (SD) was 13. She was an unruly child who constantly cried and whined and lashed out for attention. My wife couldn't take SD's crap anymore so she kicked her out when she was 14. SD moved in with her father, who's a jerk to me and my wife but he did a good job disciplining SD. He had turned her into a nice, quiet and obedient child. SD continued to behave and treat us with respect until she moved to another city when she was 24. She stopped coming home for holidays. My wife was devastated, but she understood that SD needed to have a life of her own. SD is 28 now, and the angry emails started coming 2 years ago. They're incoherent rant-filled emails with all kinds of outlandish accusations toward my wife. Lots of accusations of neglect and abuse being thrown around. More accusations of favoring her siblings over her. My wife tried to justify herself in the beginning but it only made SD angrier, so my wife decided to ignore these emails altogether. Every time my wife gets one of these nasty emails, she breaks down crying. She has had to call off work to recoup from the pain of reading these emails. I've spent countless hours comforting my wife and telling her that she was not the problem and SD just needed therapy to deal with her own issues instead of taking them out on my wife. My wife has another daughter who's SD's younger sister. Honestly, she's much nicer and gets along with my wife. She goes to my wife every time she has a problem and my wife helps her out. She treats my wife with respect and there's nothing but love between the two of them. They have an excellent mother-daughter relationship. SD has always been very jealous of her sister, and she resents the wonderful relationship her mother and sister have. Last November, SD's younger sister found out she was pregnant, and the baby's father skipped out on her. Of course, she came to my wife for comfort. We offered to let her move in with us until she got back on her feet. SD found out what happened and she flipped out. My wife got yet another angry email. SD accused her always making time for her younger sister and not her. My wife was stressed out about the pregnancy so she ignored SD's email. I read it and decided that enough was enough. I emailed SD. Told her to stop living in the past and if she treated her mother better, she'd have a relationship with her like her younger sister does. Of course SD got pissed off. She sent everyone in the family a goodbye letter and cut all of us out of her life. My wife is devastated and they're all blaming me for driving her away. I thought that she was just bluffing for attention, but it's been 8 months and none of us have heard a peep from her. I still think I did the right thing by putting her in her place. She probably felt that no one would take her crap anymore so she fled. But I still feel bad for driving a bigger wedge between her and her mother. AITA?

I went to a place once that did cheese and beer pairings. It was nice. This is my contribution to cheese/beer/wine chat. My (35F) boyfriend (33M) of 5 years secretly took a cab to take "a walk" at night while out of town. quote:My 33M boyfriend is in San Fran for an interview. We were video chatting w/ our 3 year old after the interview yesterday. Saying he missed us etc. All normal happy stuff.

My (17F) mom (48F) has had a secret boyfriend for two years. I also very recently found out my parents got a divorce in 2013. gently caress. I don’t really know how to write this post since my mom is literally right next to me. I am crying on the train and it honestly feels terrible. I always knew my parents relationship has been rocky but I didn’t know to what extent. When we moved to a new town, whenever my dad was home she would tell me to lie to my friends my dad is working in another country. She was kind of ashamed of my dad but she did stick with him through the tougher times. In November 2017, my applying to college separate email was linked to my moms on Yahoo. When I logged on her emails popped up and one of her friends (as she told me) was calling her baby and showing her the gift he got her. gently caress. That hurt. I cried for 2 hours and told my dad we need to talk. We grabbed lunch the next day and he told me he had known all along. I basically felt like my mom was my mortal enemy because of how she betrayed my dad. When I had to visit colleges on the east coast, her “friend” (boyfriend) was the one driving us around. He is a really nice guy but it really feels like poo poo for my mom to be never be honest about anything. In August 2018, when I was filling the Common App, my parents had told me they were divorced back in 2013. I had asked my dad why he didn’t tell me and he said he wasn’t planning on telling me until I was 18. Jesus Christ, I just keep thinking why does this family have so many god drat secrets? I kind of brushed it off, since I know they don’t really love each other any way. It’s kind of a thing I just feel (we never eat dinner together, talk together etc) It just kind of fucks me up because my dad still financially supports her because she always tells him she’s spending money for me when very little of her money goes to me. I’m in another country right now without any service so I use my mom’s phone as a hot spot. Her phone was on her messages, and her “friend” happened to be the first contact on top. I’m sorry I know I shouldn’t be looking at my moms private messages but my curiosity got the best of me. I scrolled up about 50 messages and immediately just felt like poo poo. Even though I was well aware of the situation, but seeing it more really made my poo poo hit the fan. She would refer to him as “husband” and talk about growing old together. I just feel like it’s wrong that she still uses my dad even though they are no longer together. My dad sees as a promise to her to make sure our family is financially stable, but still. I guess maybe there’s a lot more complications in their relationship that I may not understand, but I just don’t know how to process it. It’s hard to say if my mom is objectively a good mom. She does give love in a conditional way, whenever I do something good or is on good behavior she’ll be very sweet to me. Whenever I am in a bad mood she reciprocates. Whenever she does something wrong, she never apologizes. I don’t know how me confronting her regarding this situation will change our relationship dynamic. I am still a minor and I can’t live with my dad. Should I still confront my mom?

"He started sober in December but also loves gambling and prostitution. A real winner. I made some serious and stupid concessions to forgive and rebuild. Because of history, hope, having not many options of my own and a small child. And he makes the same choices and traveled the same path anyway. But I'm good enough to give him a haircut before he flies out. He makes a lot of promises and I wanted to believe we were building but is apparently allergic to truth and loyalty."

"what do you mean beer can't be classy!" everybody protested, ignoring the fact that it was never the beer that was the problem but the beer-associated hooting hollering and buttchugging for which there was no need, the point of the event was not the husband but the cheeses, those beautiful artefacts from across the sea. whole cultures of bacteria died to produce those cheeses. and you just don't bring cheap american beer to your wife's fancy wine event for gently caress's sake i can't believe i'm having to explain this to you people, do you live in swamps of your own poo poo, do you wallow in existential filth, what is it that makes you identify so strongly with this beer that you would defend this man, a clear and obvious danger to society

She doesn’t care if it’s beer, but the sheer audacity of the wife wanting to have a nice time that doesn’t end up in chores because it seems like the husband is a child.

actually if someone came into my fancy cheese and wine party to turn it into a rager i would kill them, and then leave the body in some out of the way but still visible place, and then when someone stumbles upon it the party can enter its next phase as a murder mystery evening
