@KratosMD i worked there 6 years

i don't like nor did i want a fuss, i hate being the center of attention so i just left as quietly as possible

@KratosMD and that is why i never told anyone, i knew if i did they would just want to make a fuss about it and i didn't want that

plus when people throw you a party it's never actually about you, it's about them and them using it an excuse to have a party

@KratosMD Eh, I have some friendships which came from working relationships, and they continue even after you or they have left. As for the rest of them, when you think about it you realise the only thing you have in common is work, even if you really gel well together in the work place you have no connection to them outside of office hours so saying goodbye isn't a problem for me.

@KratosMD Yeah they do that in my work for birthdays, but it is not enforced or anything. They also give you a card on your birthday with messages from everyone. But everyone stands around your desk watches while your boss gives a little speech. It's a bit cringe, as some people are obviously not comfortable with it. Luckily you don't have to that either.

I've learnt over the years not to get that attached to people and work places if I know I'm not gonna be there for long. Works the other way too with people on temp contracts coming and going every few months. It gets easier the more you do it, I got quite emotional when I left my first job but not really been like that since. Of course I've met some cool people over the years struck up good friendships, but I generally find it difficult to keep in touch with people unless i see them regularly.

@KratosMD ive worked at my job for 21 years. Im currently laid off on short term disability, i hurt my back doinf some work for my mother-in-law. Ill probably never be able to go back to work there because its a fastpaced production job. I was a crew leader when i had to leave. As much as i hated it, i will miss it. I think what ill miss the most is how comfortable i felt with my job. It kinda became who i was and now i dont really know what to do. What im saying is, i get what ur feeling.

And so my cat passed over the rainbow bridge this morning just after 10 PST. We suspect that she may have had cancer but we're not 100% sure. Regardless she will be missed and was loved very much.

@Tasuki sorry man, i have a pet that i love, shes a part of our family, so i can imagine how u feel. Condolences bro... 😢

@Tasuki I’m so sorry to hear that. I’m sure you must be very saddened as I know you really loved your cat. Hang in there, my friend.

@Tasuki so sorry man, my Cat is 15 years old and we know her time is near but we still aint ready for her to pass, it's never easy

and about that other thread yesterday i completely understand what your saying but i thought it was important to let them know the rules so they wouldn't try doing it again

@Tasuki I’m sorry man. Gutted. Take it easy 👍🏻

I'm so sorry this happened @Tasuki . Not much else I can really say that hasn't already been said by everyone else. Hope you're doing ok

Thanks everyone. Yeah it shocked us all how fast she went. We are thinking it was cancer duento how fast she went.

@FullbringIchigo I see what you're saying but they don't care about the rules all they care about is how many times they can post their garbage before being caught. If they did care about the rules they wouldn't have done it in the first place.

@Tasuki i guess so

@Ralizah So I owe you an apology.

I am most definitely not myself today, haven't been for quite a while actually but it isn't an excuse. You were absolutely right to jump on my comments earlier because reading them back, they only serve as examples of the kind of behaviour I was trying (and failing, badly) to condemn.

Not sure why you deleted that last comment; it's a good and valid one, and should stand on the record to cap off my public stupidity.

I hope this won't have a negative impact on our future interactions around here.

@RogerRoger where’s my apology?

@RogerRoger you ain't stupid.

@Th3solution I accept your now deleted apology 😂

@kyleforrester87 Yeah, after posting I had a change of heart and retracted my apology. I’m sorry for nothing. Lol 😜

But in actuality I deleted my first comment as I thought better of my silly joke and didn’t want to give Rog the impression I was making light of his rather moving and sincere apology (whether needed or not). We have too few of those displays of humility on the internet so kudos for the gesture.

@Th3solution Ahhh he don't need to apologise, @Ralizah is a big boy I'm sure. I still want my apology though!

@kyleforrester87 Hmmm.... okay, we’ll here’s your apology — On behalf of Push Square, I hereby apologize that Fez was not selected as the greatest game of all time. ...And I’m sorry that Spider-Man is so awesome.
