Twitter is bullshit and you were right to ignore it. It’s just a collection of people’s stupid half-thoughts, complaints tagging a company to try and get free shit, and links to stories I would have already seen if I actually cared about the topic. What’s the point of even using Twitter if you’re just going to post screenshots of text that’s more than 140 characters, or post a 7 tweet diatribe?
Unfortunately, it’s not mine, but I think I should start buying up the domains for the other PGP pseudonyms.
Sounds like I’m starting my own business! Yes!
I generally agree with everything you’ve written, but I think the difference between the two has to do with more than female stereotype. I have a lot of the same feelings about “being a boss” except I’m not a girl. Most of my peers are relatively successful, some very successful, and some are just really good at appearing like they’re successful. They jump at every opportunity to pat themselves on the back and brag about how successful their dipshit pyramid scheme is.
And it’s only getting worse for everybody, the toxic mentality that you can’t be successful unless everybody knows about it is rampant. In my opinion, playing the long game to success is just as “Boss” as some nonsense app about your “personal brand”.
Reading the comments, a sad, sad, too many of us have been in similar situations. I have to check myself a lot because it’s too easy to believe somebody’s excuses. There’s no such thing as “too busy”, it’s all a matter of priorities. If you were a priority to her, she’d make the effort to follow up, and push other plans aside to not cancel on you.
I cannot even begin to think how much that would ruin my vacation. I have these same feelings when it comes to deciding where to go to lunch with 5-8 coworkers.
I’ve taken a pretty aggressive policy of doing whatever I want, even if it means doing it alone. For example, lunch time rolls around and nobody has floated a good suggestion around, I’ll tell a couple of people where I’m going, and they’re free to join me. If they don’t like it, they can do what they want. It’s been more enjoyable than I expected.

I’d rather be ghosted than breadcrumbed any day.
Agreed. Vince/Vincent got me for a minute.
Seemed like a good idea at the time, same reason I went to law school.
Came here to comment that I too own that pressure washer. It’s pretty great.
Ugh. I shit you not 75%+ of the comments made in some of my 2L classes are made by the same 4 people in my class of over 100.
My least favorite are the questions people ask only so they can attempt to tell the professor they’re wrong.

Also, the CallMeVictoria website is already taken.

Missed opportunity for a pun about burying the issue.
Also, there’s a lot of dog puns. Strong work.

Strong work with the Atmosphere pick. Solid stuff.
