What Are You Thinking? Continued 14

The federal downsizing has begun. We all got an email asking us to resign. 3 people in our hospital resigned. They’ll have to fire my ass!

They won't fire you.
Enough will just take the money and run.

Yep, I saw this decades ago when they were downsizing realigning bases. Let those closer to retirement retire early, and those who want to jump ship go first. By that time, they won't be looking for others.
 
I’d like to think they’d realize I’m a valuable asset but it is the Army so I’m keeping quiet and working hard hoping they just won’t notice me.
They know the good ones will put their head down and stay right on the job.
You are not who they are after, Chilly Bean.

I saw something similar to this after we came back from Desert Storm.
They had enlisted a ton of troops just prior to the conflict and wanted a bunch of them gone after we came home. So they offered cash... a lot of takers took it.

There are a lot of people on Govt payroll just clocking time and collecting a check. Sad but true. I work around Feds every day and A LOT of them in DoT just stand around bullshitting all day. I know 4 or 5 from my floor alone who will gladly walk if their pension is unaffected.
 
Is being told you’re book pretty (pretty in a bookish way) a compliment or a back handed compliment? (No one said this to me it’s a description of a girl in a book).
I'm still trying to figure out what that compliment means, back or forehanded. Unless she is a rectangle (and books are beautiful), does he mean as in described in books? Is there any description so ubiquitous that that would have a meaning? I am perplexed.
 
... that I need to remember not to fuck-up with my BAF when I next see her. My smart mouth has run at the wrong time a couple of times recently.

Just my circle and household.... But one of my girlfriends.... Says "you're so pretty" to her husband all the time....
And basically it's a dig, a back handed comment to lightly, but lovingly insult him....

As in, he's gonna make beautiful babies, but not that bright one in the box....
 
I have some fucked up memes in my phone if I post them here and then feel bad about it and delete.

But if they are in my phone...

Shit it's me.

Could be worse.. someone ( not on Lit) told me I was pretty in a schoolmarmish way.. not sure how I feel about that .🤔
