Hey, /adv/. Just wanted to thank you guys.
I was on here a few weeks ago. Told you all that I got my M.S. in Physics, and that I had applied for more than 200 jobs with no luck. Followed your advice and got a job within two weeks. You guys are the best.
Do you guys have any tips for my first day?

>months ago a manager talks to me and says that there was a payroll problem
>I wasn't given the raise everyone else was given and I was the only one excluded
>other manager who handles payroll was present and didnt say anything
>fast forward months later and a sympathetic assistant manager tells me the payroll issue wasnt taken care of and that I should check my paystubs
>implies that they're deliberately taking advantage of me due to being quiet or that there is some kind of personal dislike due to being a quiet awkward guy
>payroll person acknowledges the issue once again but doesnt raise my rate to the same as everyone else's and doesnt give me retroactive back pay as I was promised by the head manager who was present at the first meeting
>was only alerted to the issue by other staff members who are no longer there
>bring up the issue more forcefully this time indicating I could call the labour board and then e-mail the payroll manager
>starts avoiding me suddenly and cant get ahold of her at work
>dont see her for a week or two at work
>e-mail her detailing the exact nature of the payroll problem
>receive no response which may be a way of covering her ass so as not to admit to it in writing , I dont know
>a week later I go into the office on a day off and she seems nervous and spontaneously tells me that its being addressed
>tell her that I cant take her word in good faith and that she merely verbally told me she would do it while ignoring my detailed email which seemed suspicious
>tell the manager that I wont come in until I receive my retroactive pay, have my rate raised to the same as everyone else's and have the overtime I was deliberately not given and for which I have documentary proof detailing that I did work the overtime (in total I made $170 dollars that day and it wasnt recorded when I was told it would be)

its unreasonable. You should contact authorities
>>
You can sue for that shit
Seriously, press charges, get coworkers on your side, make bank.
>>
TL;DR - Scammed on payroll and its almost certain it was deliberate as an assistant manager told me it was targeted and not accidental due to them thinking I was passive and would roll over - also an element of dislike was part of it.
So I told them I wasnt coming back to work until I had my retroactive backpay.
Months ago another manager brought it up and informed me I should check my payroll stubs implying there was some malfeasance and I should be vigilant. Payroll manager was there during the meeting and just sat there stony faced.
Those were the only times I was ever told about it.. The payroll manager brought it up once and then did nothing about a month ago.
I was promised twice it would be fixed and it wasnt. Brought it up in person more forcefully and said I could take action with the labour board. Began to avoid me very obviously when I was at work so I couldnt have a chance to talk to her. Sent her an e-mail detailing the payroll issue and received no reply for a week, so I went to her office on one of my days off and she was very nervous and conciliatory and verbally promised me it would be fixed.
I told her over the past few months I was told more than once that it would be fixed and it never was.
She had a chance to respond to the issue in writing and never did, instead choosing to verbally tell me she would do it which struck me as an attempt not to admit to any wrong doing in writing for reasons that cast doubt on her honesty.

Super long story short.
I forced myself into that situation. I forced myself as hard as motherfucker.
Yeah there were some stumbles along the way but, I did it.
And now I have to start all over again. Fuck my life.
>>
>>17157918
I've only ever found two ways over the hump that work for me: force and trickery. The first involves me dragging myself kicking and screaming (internally) over the hump. The second involves arranging events so that there is no option but to get to the other side of the hump as quickly as possible. Neither of these is reliable, but the fact that they work at all puts them leagues over anything else I'm aware of.
I'm not proud of this. Quite the opposite: I feel deep shame over the rank childishness of my inner monologue. I wish I could just Do Things the way normal people do, without having to fight these protracted and ridiculous battles with myself. But I have never figured out how, and no one has been able (or willing) to tell me.

>>17158004
literally me
but I've been failing for the last half of a yea or so
once I trick myself into doing it I actually get into whatever I was supposed to do, and do a good job
then I realize that it literally took 3 times more time to get myself to start than to actually finish the job
it's retarded and so horribly inefficient jesus christ

I don't know if they have community college where you're going but I'd suggest spending at least a year in one to improve your English and get comfortable in a Western country.
You can do the prerequisites for a real university there and it'll save you money. Also enjoy leaving a shitty country.

I have been going out with this girl for about q month now. We kiss, go to the movies etc. but we are not bf and gf yet. So I told her that I wanted us to turn it into a more serious relationship and to my surprise what she said was: I'm sorry but I just broke up with my bf 2 months ago and I need some time to catch myself up, but please let's keep trying this out. I don't think she's on me cuz of the money because she has invited to A disco and paid everything before. Just... Wtf is going on? It kinda turned me off and she feels kinda guilty now but I'm confused. Should I just move on?

Yes, that was an extremely awkward and half assed attempt to let you down easy.
>>
you retard, she told you that she does not want to jump into another commited relationship when she barely just got out of one, if you cant understand that and just wait a little longer for her then yes you should move on because she doesnt deserve to be in a relationship with a fucking idiot like you.

You're a boy toy. Her paying was a bad sign.

So, I'm a 32yo man, and the relationship I got with my ex is making it difficult to meet someone I can build a long-term relationship with. Sorry for the wall of text, but I'd like to get it all out.
Basically I forced myself to become polyamorous so that I could justify still fucking my ex while seeing other women, because I basically felt like a cuck as my ex started sleeping with other men (we had already officially broken up, and were living in different countries, but were still seeing each other sexualy/romantically when we she was back home.) This started more than two years ago, but it's only in the past year that I've dated women over a longer periods, and only with one of them was I alternating between my ex and someone else.
Now, the most recent someone else is a woman that fell deeply in love with me, and she had her heart broken when she told me that she was worried we weren't exclusive, and I told her that I couldn't promise her anything, and didn't believe in monogamy. She said she actully agreed, but that she had too many feelings for me, and just couldn't cope with me dating other women. We dated for three months, and been in no contact for 7 weeks now. I saw her yesterday, and now I'm not sure whether I should've given monogamy a try. I suffered from oneities for most of my twenties, but I'm starting to think whether I'm fucking my future with any chance of proper relationships if I continue to insist that fucking someone else on the side should be allowed. The woman in question is wonderful, and I'm starting to think I want her back, but it could be that it's just been a while since I had sex. The exact same thing happened with the woman I dated for months last year. I know I was wrong in leading the woman in question on, and I feel like an asshole for not telling her earlier.
Go against my disbelief in monogamy, or forget about dating anyone who can't acknowlege that people naturally can have feelings for more than one person at a time?

Plenty of people do. Try spending more time with less drinky friends, better health practices, and developing a spiritual practice as well to keep you more emotionally stable. Try to drink less, too.
If things get really bad and you have no control of yourself when you drink and your life starts to seriously suffer to the point you want to quit drinking, I'll save a seat for you in AA, but it should be a last resort. Lets allow you to lose all hope in yourself before we try to sell AA to you.

Does it? I've swallowed it 8 or 9 times since I started giving my boyfriend BJs in the last couple months and it doesn't taste so bad but the texture is awful. It's like raw egg and snot and phlegm and everything slimy I can think of, and he always seems to cum a lot. He likes that I swallow it and I try not to let on that it grosses me out but it seems to be getting worse rather than better. Do I just need to keep doing it?

You need to consume 3-5 pints daily for a week and then you'll be good to go.
Order it online from horses
Otherwise it may take months to adjust to the texture

It sounds like you have set boundaries but won't enforce them with him.
You're allowing yourself to be abused and posting threads on Chinese cartoon boards instead.
I'm pretty sure this is just another creative writing b8 thread, but in the event it's not, you should have a guy who treats you like a queen, and this one is treating you like a spitoon.
Think about why you're so desperate to please this person, and then go find someone who is worthy of it.

Me and my best friend have been friends since middle school. Her parents died before we turned 18. We're 23 now.
I've been helping her a lot, both emotionally and practically.
She has been a great friend, through the years. I've been through a lot of shit and she has been there for me, any time I needed it, without even asking.
I really don't like some sides of her personality: she's very immature, she likes being at the centre of attention, she makes fun of me for my interests and because I'm introverted. She complains about her life all the time but dislikes when I give her advice.
There's one side of me that really wants to cut her off. She can be such a bitch and I feel really insecure and weak around her, like I did when we were 13.
On the other hand, me and my family are pretty much all she has, and she has been overall a good friend over the years.
Is there anything I can do to improve my relationship with her?

It's a natural thing. We hurt the ones that we love the most, and in this case you are her sole comfort zone.
(Believe or not you also hurts your parents in ways you never notice)
Let it slide.

I'm a friendless 24 yr old neet do-nothing loser who's going to take a 72 hour hiatus from the internet and media in general. What should I do to productively fill the time and think about my life?
So far my only plans are to:
>clean my room
>go for a couple long walks
Should I prepare for an emotional breakdown? I will fall apart without the constant stimulation from technology that I'm used to?

Need some /adv/.
So I've been with my girlfriend for almost 4 years now. For the past 2 years it's been sex maybe once every 2 weeks; if I'm lucky. She never initiates it; or very rarely, and get angry and upset if I ask for anything. I know she's not cheating, or uninterested. She plain out has like no sex drive. It's been talked about and talked about. She says she's trying but nothing ever really comes from it. I love her, but I really don't know what to do at this point.

Most likely there is a bunch of shit you do that she does not like but she doesn't even know it herself or she doesn't want to cause conflict by bringing it up.
My advice: evaluate the relationship and not just the sex.
>>
Get her to try anal
If she won't, she's not a keeper
>>
I've definitely evaluated the relationship. This is pretty much the only part that's lacking. I'm not a slob/pig/ or aggressive. Pretty average dude. I genuinely don't know what to do. Is sex frequency like this typical for a long term relationship?
