Marka Ragnos Posted July 11 VT Supporter Share Posted July 11 (edited) What would happen if I just went one week and told every person exactly what I really think instead of trying to spare people's feelings or avoid confrontations? I sometimes wonder what professional and social and personal effects such a week would entail. One of my favorite movies by the way. Not a great film, but it's kind of about this.

Been doing it for decades. Far more pros than cons. I was brought up to keep my mouth shut, to not rock the boat, to know my place. Around the age of 21 I figured out that it didn’t have to be that way and since that time I haven’t looked back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, if you think your boss is a moronic dickhead, you actually say "You're a moronic dickhead"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's always the possibility he runs his own business ie is his own boss? (And hell, I have been known to call myself bad names, but my psychiatrist tells me this is perfectly OK, I'm getting better everyday .)

I suspect you are moving with that well-calibrated manifestotino into the Zone of Supreme Irony (I myself have never been permitted into this region, but I admire its inhabitants). It's so so so deeply ironic, it's self-deconstructing -- and it offers irony-denial manoeuvres which are themselves perfect, pristine irony. So yes, I hear you. You "don't do" ironic. And I "don't" either. And since I'm thinking you might be a Giants fan, well, let me close thus. Edited July 11 by Marka Ragnos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mandy Lifeboats Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 If you take a photo of the moon from Australia and another from the UK the moon appears upside down in 1 image That's because the photographer is actually upside down in comparison to the other.
