Happy 25th anniversary to one of my 5 favorite films ever, and one of the most kickass movies ever made - prayformojo Jul 18, 09:56 14
- wow ... is it really 25 years ago? I find it just as compelling today - when I stumble on it playing on TV - inevitably I'll watch it - no matter how - JenBro Jul 18, 10:44
- Don't get mad: But I just saw Alien for the first time ever 2 weeks ago. - MDH Jul 18, 10:03 4

  - ::ears perk up:: -- nm - Groiny Jul 18, 09:42
Pip: No not that kind of shoe. I am pretty open to wearing what you want at work if it fits the office culture and company - Capstern Jul 18, 09:36 41
- Does she have any customer interaction? - JaxSean Jul 18, 09:42 35
  - Company code of conduct and dress code, so I would say the leadership cares. We do have random customer appearance here. -- nm - Capstern Jul 18, 09:45 33
    - I hate that kind of old school crap. - JaxSean Jul 18, 09:49 31
      - I think it matters. Shows respect for the job and the company. Admittedly its pretty loose here but no tank tops, flip flops, and - Capstern Jul 18, 09:53 5
        
        no giving dudes woodies in the workplace! -- nm - kare Jul 18, 09:54 4
        
        And I so want to strange people who wear hoodies to work, in a professional work place :) -- nm - Capstern Jul 18, 09:55 3
        
        those self serving, stuck up, obnoxious a-holes -- nm - Bill Belichick Jul 18, 09:58
        
        okay, now that's just going TOO FAR mister - kare Jul 18, 09:58 1
        
        Again I am just amused what people will do. Its a struggle for me to not wear slacks and dress shirt but since the CEO - Capstern Jul 18, 10:04
      - kid you not, even we have a dress code no no. No tank tops. -- nm - CQ Jul 18, 09:50
      - There's a line at some point. Should be allowed to wear just a bikini? -- nm - Inigo Jul 18, 09:50 21
        
        I think that is the point more than anything. If you dont give people limits and structure they will just - Capstern Jul 18, 09:55 17
        
        meh. For the most part, I disagree with you. It depends on the workplace. - JaxSean Jul 18, 09:59 1
        
        Again this depends on if customers visit your office or not IMO -- nm - Capstern Jul 18, 10:05
        
        who are you, and how did we get back to 1960?! -- nm - kare Jul 18, 09:59
        
        I almost wonder if it is a generational issue - I don't think someone in their 40's would consider not going to an interview dressed up - Epiphany - fat, dumb brunette hen Jul 18, 09:58 5
        
        less generational, and more "young people are dumb". -- nm - Reagen Jul 18, 10:00
        
        i wear suits to interviews, and hoodies and jeans at work, yet somehow manage to get promotions and raises and bonuses. weird! - kare Jul 18, 10:00 3
        
        Yes my team in Seattle was way different and Seattle corp culture is well very hippy driven. Here in TX its different, just like Loosie said about DC - Capstern Jul 18, 10:08
        
        context matters a lot. You couldn't pull that off in DC unless you're a techie (and even then...) -- nm - loosilu Jul 18, 10:01 1
        
        sure, context matters. but i still manage to be a productive employee, and our companys' self-governed dress codes don't keep us from being - kare Jul 18, 10:11
        
        I disagree. look at us here. we're pretty much self-policing. the rules are understood rather than stated. - the endless summer of smamanda jones Jul 18, 09:57 7
        
        I'm not sure what the issue is here. It's a company policy. Capstern is enforcing it. - Inigo Jul 18, 09:59 6
        
        Oh she doesnt work for me. :) My staff know better. But what I am saying is that - Capstern Jul 18, 10:01
        
        No issue, just that he's defending the idea of it. - JaxSean Jul 18, 10:01 4
        
        There's no need to dress up if no one sees you. -- nm - Amy Jul 18, 10:05
        
        Yes, no need to complain. They're hot. - Inigo Jul 18, 10:04 1
        
        common sense works great until one person wears crazy shit. - loosilu Jul 18, 10:06
        
        I agree with the idea of it. -- nm - loosilu Jul 18, 10:04
        
        Sure. - JaxSean Jul 18, 09:53
        
        is she hot? nm -- nm - groiny Jul 18, 09:52
        
        You? Only if you wax first. -- nm - Reagen Jul 18, 09:52
      - presentation matters. -- nm - loosilu Jul 18, 09:49 1
        
        agreed. I can be as misogynistic as any guy at times, but I really dont like women who work for me trying to - Capstern Jul 18, 09:57
    - this means nothing. we have a dress code here and people wear sweats. -- nm - the endless summer of smamanda jones Jul 18, 09:49
  - (face-to-face) -- nm - Spawn Jul 18, 09:43
- ok, that's a stripper shoe. -- nm - loosilu Jul 18, 09:39 4
  - agreed - that is not fashion, that is making $ on the side - someone needs to check the board room later -- nm - Epiphany - fat, dumb brunette hen Jul 18, 09:44 1
    - (and bring Washingtons) -- nm - Spawn Jul 18, 09:45
  - I figure, at least it didnt have goldfish or dollars in them so that was something right? -- nm - Capstern Jul 18, 09:40 1
    - That and no lights? Sounds like she has a little respect, then. -- nm - Spawn Jul 18, 09:41
For MDH , that's awful for your dad to be doing it. At the very least he needs to just leave you alone, not keep coming back to abuse you. - loosilu Jul 18, 09:36
Summer cocktail alert - had dinner at a french bistro on saturday i had the 'Monaco' cocktail: Beer, Limonata and grenadine. Superyummy! - Andie Jul 18, 09:33 1

- ffs. -- nm - Diva Jul 18, 09:44 1
  - [deleted]
- I agree with the rest. The call list should have 3 numbers: 1) Sister, 2) Mom, 3) Cops. - Jim Jul 18, 09:43 5
  - If none of those work then ask her to meet you somewhere because you need to give her a new key because the locks are being changed. - Ender Jul 18, 09:45 4
    - that only works if you get the old keys back. and if she hasn't duped them. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 18, 09:49 2
      - Of course you get the old keys back, the landlord fake wants them all returned. -- nm - Ender Jul 18, 09:51 1
        
        ... jack is an owner ... but I see your point. :) -- nm - Beryllium Jul 18, 09:52
    - just leave a loaded gun on the dresser when you go to work. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 18, 09:47
- damn. give an inch and people take a mile. sounds like he's equally mental. -- nm - kare Jul 18, 09:41
- what in the holy hell? You must be fuming. I don't even know what to say, ugh -- nm - CQ Jul 18, 09:38
- call her sister and see if she will help. If not, call her mom. -- nm - decline Jul 18, 09:36
- He's tried to break up for over a year? You have to call her sister and tell her to come and get crazy and take her to Jersey. -- nm - Amy Jul 18, 09:36 19
  - [deleted] 12
    - simply put, it's not your responsibility to deal with her, I don't see the duplicity in holding her immediate family to their responsibilities. -- nm - znufrii Jul 18, 09:54
    - it really sounds like she needs help. if she's threatening suicide, maybe at least try to rally the troops? - kare Jul 18, 09:49
    - this sounds like my brother in law. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 18, 09:44 9
      - and my brother - we know how hard it is Jack - it sucks, you feel responsible and bad for the person -- nm - Epiphany - fat, dumb brunette hen Jul 18, 09:52 8
        
        I am pretty much stuck with my BIL loving with me for the forseeable future. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 18, 09:53 7
        
        please get help. -- nm - Diva Jul 18, 10:04 1
        
        what kind of help? nm -- nm - groiny Jul 18, 10:05

        gross. -- nm - Max Jul 18, 09:54
  - [deleted] 1
    - yeah, that's bullshit. -- nm - loosilu Jul 18, 09:38
  - actually this - call sister first, but call mom if sister won't / can't help. -- nm - Andie Jul 18, 09:36 3
    - agreed -- nm - Spawn Jul 18, 09:40
    - I was about to say call the sister. -- nm - loosilu Jul 18, 09:38
    - that's such a good idea :) -- nm - decline Jul 18, 09:37
- call her mom. -- nm - Andie Jul 18, 09:35

  - I thought I recognized it. - Strongbad Jul 18, 09:34 1
    - Oh, our politicans are being told it. They're just morons. Blaine Young's daddy is a democrat who ran this town for 15 years and Blaine's always - Will Hunting Jul 18, 09:38
