Hopefully, this law will give them a better glove. -
Long Overdue
StormKnight replied to Hellion's topic in Current Events, Science, Spirituality, Politics, Religion & Sociology
Going to work and just doing the job, avoidance of the bully, especially a manager/higher just above you just. Doesn't. Work. Example: You have to request an item or data from the bully/boss to get your job done. No way around it. Said bully/boss refuses because he just plain doesn't like you, for whatever reason. Can't get your job done. When the ones above him call him out on why your project isn't done, he can come up with a variety of things to say, and back up (whether it is true or not (bully/boss could respond "I didn't get the request from him until past the due date," when you had it to him weeks prior.)) A bully/boss just doesn't make your life at work hell, but can end up firing you or getting you fired, saying in a passive-aggressive manner, "It isn't personal. It's just business.") They can also make you look bad for other businesses by sending bad letter or call to potential employers to tell you what a bad egg you are. And he will make himself look good in the process, costing you time, money, and a job. Been there when I did administrative temp work. Saw it happen in BOTH civilian businesses and federal/military offices, as well as in the hospital. It happens, and there is no way to avoid it when it does, regardless of how much you lower your profile. It is called real life, real business, working with real people. And why should you be the victim of a bully? It rarely ends, until an outside intervention or retaliation. In a school environment, you may be able to punch back when a bully hits you and it costs you some time in detention. In business and jobs, the punch back is more than likely going to get you arrested, jailed, blacklisted, or a variety of ways to end your career. -

Great. More political intrigue. I hate the stuff. It makes me channel House so much... and I hate House and medical dramas.

Surferpunk- those who hang ten in spikes, so when they wipe out, if the spikes don't discourage sharks from making lunch out of them, at least the sharks would have terrible indigestion.

Songs you don't admit to your friends
StormKnight replied to IsleofRhodesEnt's topic in Music Discussion
Yeah...lived the 80's. Back when popular music was actually tolerable. I could probably spin a good 80's/goth history set. Manson is popular? I thought his stuff has been panned for a while by the community. My music tends to be eclectic, but one of the things that most of my music has is a strong melody. I have never been into just a rhythm-heavy songs as much as I am in to the lyrical flowing of a good melody. D&B is lost on me for the most part. My favorites also tend to be complex and layered instrument wise. I still think of music in conductor's scores, where I mentally break the song down into individual instruments and where they come in. One of the reasons I listen to classical music. Want to get my attention musicially? Find songs with a good melody with some depth of instruments. -
a new poll for a private social goth club
StormKnight replied to d:konstruct's topic in Quizzes And Polls
Unfortunately, when all else fails, regression to the lowest common denominator happens. Expecting that to happen and it doesn't is a pleasant surprise. Expecting the best and the lowest common denominator happening is legal and physical nightmare. Been security long enough to realize that. A night without asshatery is what they look forward to. Unfortunately, the more people in the club, the more likely asshatery will rear its head. -
Two more hours.

No, no. I jam out to her as well. As well as a few of the female independent/alternative performers at the time. Hear, hear. And of course, it's probably spread wide and far across the board since I joined, but...Elton John. Blame my favorite older sister. *goes to hide his goth card somewhere safe, head hanging in shame* -
With all the bad karma I have had this week, I better be winning the lottery. The Forces of Darkness have made their point they hate me this week.

Every time I think of nipple piercings, I keep thinking of 1:45 on from this trailer .

Yeah, I concur. For those times I want to display certain skills. I like the landscaping for that as well. But you would know where the burglar was that broke in from your bedroom a good ways away. Though there looks like there are some privacy areas. Though you could tell instantly if the kids were doing something bad in the visible areas of the house.
