B!TC# IT OUT!

[Saelyyia]

I'm with you Pearlie, I was never a pokemon person and luckily my boyfriend isn't interested in the App. But holy carp, it is everywhere i look right now. Its getting frustrating.

[AelianaNympha]

I don't care about Pokemon either. My husband's trying to convince me of its awesomeness but I'm not feelin it.

Well, that's what the "Just Talk" section is for. Not everyone wants to talk about solely mermaiding 24/7.

So take it to Facebook. This IS a mermaid forum.

If I broke a rule where I posted in the wrong section then go tell an administrator and stop being rude.

[PearlieMae]

No, you didn't break a rule and this is the BITCH IT OUT section.

Me? RUDE?

[Sabrina the Selkie]

Is this something for the Drama Bubble Thread?

[PearlieMae]

Drama? Not really. Obviously I can't voice an opinion in the BITCH IT OUT thread when it comes to the Recent Activity page being loaded with Pokemon nonsense.

Just trying to get away from all the recent headlines, hoping to read some interesting mer-related stuff, but I have to dig through pages of gaming junk to find anything. I came here to bitch about it - AND HAVE OTHERS WHO AGREE WITH ME - yet I'm the one being called rude.

So I went swimming yesterday, and we get out to the pool and my husband texts me...

"Hey I may be late getting home I got hit I'm fine tho I might need some stitches"

"Just don't freak out babe ok"

Turns out a pully fell on his head at work and (knocked his hard hat off) and sliced his head.

So I was freaking out all day, didn't sleep last night because I wanted to Make sure he was okay in his sleep.

He went into work again today. 😑 the pully falling wasn't his fault, it was old and needed replaced, but the job site hadn't replaced it yet, he was following all of the rules, was wearing his hard hat etc. So he missed the last 5 hours of work yesterday to go to the ER to get it cleaned and stitched.

Even my dad who is one of those "don't miss work unless your baby is being born, or you are missing an appendage" type people told him to stay his ass home today.

He went because they were not going to pay him for the 5 hours he missed yesterday, OR for today if he didn't come in. So he's risking his health because his job isnt honoring the whole "if you get hurt because of us, we pay you for time missed" which I think is against the law?
Correct me If I'm wrong.

I am so pissed because that is such crap. He shouldn't essentially be forced to go in today if the doctor said Its not safe.

I know I can only really speak for myself, but I think Pearlie and I and Saelyyia just wanted to "bitch" about it. If we'd wanted to cause drama or pick a fight, we would've brought it to the appropriate thread. I think the beauty of this thread is you can complain about something that irritates you and not expect a response. Sometimes you just need to let it out. I know half the time I complain about things to my husband, solely wanting to complain, he wants to try and fix everything, which is not what I want. It's nice to just complain, commiserate, and move along, which I think is what we were intending. If we'd wanted to ruffle scales we would've posted our dislike on the Pokemon threads themselves. But then we'd have legions after us.

Gotcha. No. I don't think you're being rude. And you have every right to share your opinion, and in fact, I even agree that this forum should remain at least vaguely topical.

But I don't want this thread to explode, either.

AND OH MY GOD SHIMMER. WORKER'S COMP EXISTS. SUE THEIR ASSES!!!

I am so sorry shimmer. That is ridiculous. I can't believe that! He needs to file for workers comp! Tell him to contact his HR department and make sure he has a note from his doctor recommending he stay home. I know when I sprained my ankle on school property (I'm a teacher) because they hadn't yellowed a step in the middle of the patio the reason I couldn't file for WC was because I had my sister in law (a nurse) look at it, not an actual Doctor. So I had to cover the 50 bucks for crutches even though with the swelling and the bruising it was obvious I needed them. Just make sure he goes through the proper channels and I bet this could work out - cause what they're doing and forcing him to do is blatantly wrong.

Thank you Sabrina! You're so sweet - everything I read from you is soothing and gentle.

Thank you! <3

I just felt that Pearlie's post was directed at me because I started a Pokémon Go Thread and not long after that she made that post. I wasn't trying to start anything or be rude; I just thought it was a passive aggressive post directed at me.

I don't know what hes going to do about it-if anything. But I will if he doesn't. And I'm pretty sure my uncle who works in the same field and Has several of his own companies in the field, would help us do everything needed and make sure everything went the way it's supposed to.

AND OH MY GOD SHIMMER. WORKER'S COMP EXISTS. SUE THEIR ASSES!!!

I don't think he really sees a problem with it. And it would be like pulling teeth to get him to act on it. But pregnant or not, I have no problem going up there and raising hell over it.

[PearlieMae]

Hydra, I had no idea you started a thread. All I saw was Pokemon this and Pokemon that in my Recent Activity window - which is where I enter the network 99% of the time.

I have over 6,000 posts. I don't think I've been passive/aggressive EVER. Next time, ask me if I was referring to you. If I was going to direct something at you, I would.

Shimmer, your husband has the potential for a HUGE lawsuit. He should bring that up. You both should talk to a lawyer right away.

[Shimmer Mermaid]

I will say that from what I've seen, you aren't one to beat around the bush about things and very forward and direct. Which=badass.

I want to, but I guess I've got to wait until he gets home tonight to see if he did anything about it while at work.

[Hydra1337]

That's why I was confused and to be honest kinda hurt. Next time I'll ask first. Sorry.
