Corporate Slavery

Modern day slavery in the workforce is corporate slavery is the mistreatment of employees by paying low wages and no health care. Typically you have a toxic manager that focuses on what you do wrong, which is minimal, but focusing on what you do well and does realize that you have a life outside of work. Often there is a point system for attendance, for instance getting one point for calling sick. You can only earn a certain of points if you call off for work, but you could be a single mother with sick children. Corporate Slavery has risen dramatically due to the decline of unions and "The Right to Work"

Me: Kathy just called in sick for today because when she woke up, her fiancee next to her in bed had died in bed.

Krystal: Can you believe Sheri's response to Kathy was that since it was unplanned absence she would earn a point. Then the boss told her she wouldn't paid for her bereavement time, because he was just a fiancee - not yet a husband.

Me: So wait - are telling me that Kathy won't received the paid bereavement because he was "just" a fiancee. I can't believe Sheri would even mention points. Like Kathy gives a shit right now.

Krystal: This is corporate slavery. Remember when the computers were non-functional and we had to show up to this damn cube farm all three days and just at a non-working computer.

Me: That was horribly boring! Right right this is just a form of modern day slavery. I hate it here, when do I get to time off during the day to be able to interview. It is almost impossible to get your time off approved.

cotton candy

relationships with a narcissist are like cotton candy - they look great at first, but there is no substance to the relationship, and it's really, really messy at the end.

Looking back, the relationship with Killian was so superficial, no substance at all. Lots of sex and parties, food and weed, but nothing solid. It was like cotton candy, great on paper, but mostly hot air and sugar, and nothing a giant mess at the end.

background anger

When you overreact to something, but only because your background anger has been building for weeks.

I'm sorry I flipped out over something so small. My background anger over the price of gas and food, my boss, and the holidays has me on edge.

A situation where tremendous amounts of money can be made just by capitalizing your personality and ideas. Mark Zuckerburg and Steve Jobs tops the list.

Her: Did you remember how my mom loved Sandra Bullock movies? So simple and funny, yet so good.

baggage buffet

When you meet someone in dating that has so many issues, that's it's like a baggage buffet.

Oof - not moving forward with a relationship with that guy. He's got mommy issues, money problems, and he's not over his ex. He talks about her so much, I'm starting to wonder what she's up to now! And I literally cannot hear another story about his bad childhood. He's a baggage buffet. Pretty much undatable.
