Ugh I vaguely remember taking that ASVAB too back in high school. Don't remember much about it other than I thought it was a practice SAT and got a 90-something, then the Army recruiter guy wouldn't leave me alone. I now figure if I took him seriously I could have been a fresh 2LT just in time for Fallujah. Yikes.

They split the 5th grade girls and boys into different rooms. The priest came in, rattled on about a bunch of unrelated stuff and some bible verses. Then in the last minute, he closed his eyes, looked at the ceiling, and yelled “it is a sin to play with yourself” and walked out. No idea what the girls went through. All the boys got a speed stick and the girls got tampons. I had no idea what the priest was talking about at that time.

Yeah they split us up too. The boys found out about wet dreams and were fine. The girls found out about menstruation in their meeting and came back to the class looking positively rattled

Logistically similar to my 5th grade public education in MN, but when they split us up into separate rooms we watched some film (literally) about our changing bodies. There was a boy version and girl version, so we watched ours first, then they swapped reels between the rooms and we watched the other one. The speed stick I distinctly remember because one kid stank real bad at a sleepover at his house and we got him to go put it on.

I’ve got plumbers at my house fixing the septic and swapping out a wax ring while also adding a bidet, electricians at my house adding a 14-50R outlet for future use and multiple outlets for Braks’ outdoor oasis, and I just got a bid and approved a total garage roof repair for our garage because it’s rotten and causing the new lean to to leak in a corner. Stuff’s getting done today.

kiimo posted:edit: also Sex Ed in Kansas taught us that we'd all be dead from AIDS by highschool. I remember everyone having a real existential crisis in 3rd grade because welp we needed to us the water fountain but it was clearly going to kill us There's a whole rabbit hole there to go down between AIDS and DARE/Just Say No and how the crises worked with each other with Nancy Reagan running the show. Not a fun one, but there's a lot going on

I don't know if it's because I went to 3 different elementary and middle schools but I never had DARE show up in any of them. I also didn't take Washington State history because of it and had to complete a basic easy packet my senior year so I could graduate. I did take health twice and the rumor in my 2nd middle school was that the health teacher said semen looked and tasted like mayo. It didn't come up when I took it but she did tell us that blue balls wasn't real but you should still take it seriously if your boyfriend said he had them.

Sex ed for my rural NC middle school was surprisingly progressive, but I think it’s because our health/gym teacher basically said “I’m supposed to tell you all that the only way to avoid getting pregnant or STDs is to be abstinent, but I know some of you won’t listen so condoms and birth control are a thing.”

Not top 5 most interesting part of this post, but blue balls are definitely real. It's majorly uncomfortable. Though of course not to the degree that teenage girls should feel obligated to do anything about it.

The implication was that if your boyfriend complains about it you can tell him to take care of it himself. I don't think I ever had abstinence only sex ed and my high school's program talked about how being gay or bi was fine and you needed to practice safe sex even then since pregnancy wasn't the only outcome of not using condoms. One of my aunts was a teen mom and she was pretty active with Planned Parenthood so my grandma had her give me the full contraceptives talk when I was 10 or 11 since grandma was uncomfortable with it but didn't want to have 3 teen parents in the family.

I. M. Gei posted:welp aaaaaaaaaand the Titanic just broke the gently caress in half. AND it looks like I may have clung to the railing a little too long. I got a call from my coworker yesterday where he told me our crew's backlog was running dangerously low from lack of jobs being sold. The sales drought here has started to ease up a little bit — at least for said coworker — but it's not easing fast enough to get our backlog where we need it, and I've been so burned out from doing nothing but self-genning and getting almost nothing every day for the last few months that my  has been at an all-time low. Our office hasn't assigned me an appointment in almost 3 months (they used to give us at least one per week but the calls haven't been coming in like they used to), and that's where the bulk of our sales come from.So anyway, since the backlog is drying up, my boss and the crew manager are taking a closer look at all of our estimates from the last several months, and boss finally noticed that a whole bunch of mine came from my own house and called me out on it. Boss accused me of trying to pad my self-gen numbers (which is true, although I've only ever done that on days when I couldn't get a self-gen anywhere else) to make it look like I'm out working when I'm not (which is false, I *AM* out working, but some days are just slow like that and I have to turn in something). I told him that all of those estimates were for legit jobs that need doing, and that I'm trying to convince my dad to OK a few of them (by filling out multiple forms for the same job lol) but that we can't afford to do any of them right now (all of which are true). I'm being formally written up and suspended without pay for 2 weeks (starting next week lol) for "conduct unbecoming/unethical behavior", which is kinda rich coming from this place but still not something I wanna deal with when I'm applying for other jobs (or filing for unemployment I guess, although I live in Texas so that probably wasn't gonna happen regardless). and then there's THIS... my boss posted:When you come back you will need to have completed all osha courses and read or listen to the 10xRule, sell or be sold And extreme ownership. Keep in mind, I'm not being paid to do any of this poo poo. They expect me to do all of this during unpaid suspension. After which they might still fire me. gently caress. I should've just quit this place on my own terms after I posted about it a month ago, but being an unemployed neet with no work history really fucks with your brain after awhile, and I was too cowardly and happy to finally have a regular source of income to just cut and run before finding another job someplace else. Now it's looking like I could be let go for-cause, and that seems like it'd be harder to bounce back from than if I had quit. What's the best way for me to navigate leaving my job at this stage? I think I'm now past the point where I can wait to get hired at a new job before quitting this one. tl;dr: I hung around at my lovely job suckling the company teat for too long; boss busted me for slacking off, suspended my rear end without pay, wrote me up, and wants me to do a bunch of unpaid poo poo before I come back and we "discuss my future". I need to abandon ship right now before I (possibly) get fired, and I can no longer afford to wait around for a new job first. Because I am a winner at life, I now have to ask the internet "what is the best way for me to quit this job, that makes me look the least lovely?" I. M.

Every time you post about this job, people tell you to quit. Just quit already. And for the love of god don’t use them as a reference. You did something most companies would frown on. They’ll definitely sell you out. Use a coworker as a personal reference

Your employer just gave you a free if unpaid two weeks to find another job. Bust your rear end looking for something during that break and then on the last day of your suspension tell them that you aren't coming back. Be professional if/when you have to return any company-owned property, and for gently caress's sake don't list them as a reference going forward.

Just loving quit so you don't have to lie about being fired or asked to resign from a prior job. Tell them your two-week suspension is your two weeks' notice. One way or another, your time with this company is over.
