Working

No. It isn’t is it? See, I kind of vaguely remembered telling you all that what you’re doing doesn’t work. And what did you do? You just went and did it anyway because you thought you were better than me.
Hym “Oh? Is the thing I said wasn’t working... I donno... not working? Is that what’s happening here? Because I said people were doing it and explained to you why it wasn’t going to work and what did you do? You signed off on it and are now surprised that Captain-Always-Right is right again. If there is no recourse than only one option remains. It isn’t indefinite slavery at the hands of the tyrannical state that abides the very acts it condemns. What’s my only option here?”

Dr. Jeepjorp “...”

Hym “AHP!” 😑☝️“You were going to say something other than the only option that remains weren’t you. Have you tried, I donno, creating someone kind of recourse that gives me more than one option? No. No you didn’t do that. You just doubled down. And now you’re trying to withhold it from me. So, how about we try something new? Have you tried punishing the whores? That sounds like a good idea. I like this plan. Because we all know the definition of insanity. And you’re all doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different response. I, on the other hand, have tried to reason with you but to no avail. You don’t listen. That’s you’re problem. That’s the problem with everyone even remotely like you. So convinced of your own righteousness. Drunk on your own moral certitude. Why should I let you sit on a double-standard and feint the moral high ground? An easy enough question to answer. I shouldn’t. So I won’t.”

Work Soulmate

Like a work husband/gf/bf, but so similar in hobbies and knowledge that it is as if they are the same person.
William is my work soulmate because we are both reptile parents, are Eastern European in ethnicity, have the same career path, education and knowledge and have an old soul. We connect on many levels and are supportive to each other at work when others spread gossip and lies.

Austin Work Rule

Fouling around while in a committed relationship is only allowed as long as it is with coworkers. This is considered a “team building” function and helps create trust, respect, and loyalty within a company.

working numbers

It’s when someone/something lives in your head rent free and makes you overly question them or the thing very deeply.
It really affects you more so in the emotional aspect but can and usually also affects your physical self in some degree.

It’s more times than not one sided it’s usually just you dealing with the situation in this way and not the other person but that’s not always the case.

When someone does this to another person it sometimes happens because that person has the upper hand and is taking advantage/manipulating the scenario.
You’re really letting something get to you when it shouldn’t be to the amount that you’re letting it.
Guy: This girl is playing hard to get and she doesn’t seem to care about what I’m doing or isn’t very invested in what we have, she’s so nonchalant. So that makes me super interested in her because she’s not giving me the attention that I want. Like I want her to show me that she gives a fuck about me. And her doing this just makes me want her more. I’m thinking about every move she makes. And how I can get her to show me an ounce of jealousy or have her prove in some way that she feels something towards me.

Girl: It’s lookin’ like reverse psychology is working numbers on you.

He was doing wild work after the argument—sending long, emotional texts, calling mutual friends to drag them in, just completely spiraling.
