anger
 
What do you do when you are nothing but knots and you have to do something so that it doesnt melt your face down?

At the moment I'm being completely shafted at work by a friend that has decided to use my head as a stepping stone in order for them to get ahead . I'm still in disbelief that friendship could have that price. Not only is is harsh because of the friendship, but I work damn hard there but get punished more than most because I complain when things dont go my way (as opposed to those who are slow, counterproductive even, but are 100% agreeable) .

I amFUCKING LIVID.

You're Canadian? And angry? Aren't they mutually exclusive?

Sorry...

I'd say the first thing is to stop calling the guy a friend. Then go key his car or something.

PAULYBEE2656 10.20.2008 06:00 AM

he isnt a friend.. fuck him, dont bring yrself down to his level.

be extremely nice to him, smile and pretend shit doesnt bother you. that will get his goat more than you think.... take the moral highground.

they sound like a jerk, maybe you should consider another job?

Lovely mixed metaphor. Unless he really is using you as a stepping stone and shafting you at the same time.

A whiner eh? Try whining less and working more. I bet you're on here when you're supposed to be working. And while you're on here, you've missed the doughnut run. Bet you'll whine about that too.

floatingslowly 10.20.2008 08:35 AM

TRUTHS:
  • pie is superior to cake.
  • friends are overrated.
  • coworkers should never be considered friends.
it's a dog eat dog out there, don't be a pussy; get yr friend blind-drunk and drop them off wherever crack and meth are sold.

Cake is better than pie, falsifier.

floatingslowly 10.20.2008 08:44 AM

how could you say that?

cake has only [...wait for it....] cake (and maybe icing).

pie has crust, filing and then maybe a topping (if you've been good).

there really is no comparison.

pbradley 10.20.2008 08:50 AM

Quality of the pie is too dependent on the quality of the filing.

Cake, from my experience, is uniformly good.

floatingslowly 10.20.2008 09:01 AM

have you ever had a pie go flat in the oven?

no, I didn't think so.

when cake goes flat, it's no longer even cake, it becomes a brownie (at best).

also, you can fit all sorts of small dead animals inside of pie. have you ever heard of 4 and 20 blackbirds baked into a CAEK?

no, I didn't think so.

pie is everlasting, like the loving arms of Jesus; while the devil, he's got cake.

I'm co-signing this one. Some pie is good, but people put all types of bullshit in pie and taint its legacy.
Also, dude who started this thread:
Based only on what you've said it seems like you're a whiner and you blame other people for your own failures. I don't know the situation, but this is the way you are describing it. I've gotten pretty far in my career by faking the bullshit corporate agenda and I don't kid myself into thinking co-workers won't fuck me. Get over it.

The cooking process is irrelevant to the quality of the desserts themselves.

And while dead animals is a cool idea in theory, nobody wants to eat meat pies except British people.

Also you can't make pies in the shape of cool shit like breasts and the Dick Tracy logo. Everybody loves shaped cakes. Do they have wedding pies? No, because pies are for old ladies.

REALLY? BECAUSE BREASTS ARE SQUARE. AMIRITE???! :mad:


new plan for OP:
  • engage coworker/friend/enemy in pie vs. cake debate.
  • STAB coworker/friend/enemy with a serving utensil.
  • bake coworker/friend/enemy into a pie.
  • let cool 30 mins on wire rack.
  • serve and enjoy!

akprodr 10.20.2008 09:24 AM

Perhaps this is a good test of the cake/pie debate. Throw one of each in the guy's face and see which feels better.

floatingslowly 10.20.2008 09:26 AM

@PBr: I'm not sure what yr trying to prove (other than the fact that PIE is always work-safe).

you can shape cake into giant dog turds for all I care.

besides, most people grow out of "the shape makes it taste better" by about 6-7 years old.

You wouldnt believe it but that's the secret weapon I've been using to try to smooth things out at work. Not whining. I dont want to be managements enemy just for the sake of it, conflict is not my game believe it or not. I'm PAID to be there, eh? My anger comes from me still being singled out.

The friend thing is the easiest thing to get over, especially knowing theres going to be some kind of co-worker-pie hybrid at the end of the day.

Who says it makes it taste better? However, style is important.

Then again, I guess I should consider who I am debating with...

I believe in function before fashion, capt. catwalk.

pbradley 10.20.2008 09:38 AM

Anyway, this place

 


is a shame.

I still haven't fulfilled my longing for cake since my birthday last month.

akprodr 10.20.2008 09:40 AM

And we haven't even mentioned cheese cake. It has cake in the name but is more pie shaped.

pbradley 10.20.2008 09:44 AM

I'd consider it a pie. A great pie in fact. Same with pumpkin pie. I'm not denying that there are great pies.

I move that we rename it to cheese pie. although, that almost makes me think of quiche, and quiche is certainly NOT pie (unless yr French).

pbradley 10.20.2008 10:03 AM

No, I went to buy myself a cake but Citizen Cake doesn't carry cake.

My brother and his girlfriend said they would make me one by they don't love me and forgot.

pbradley 10.20.2008 10:04 AM

Fuck pie.

to avoid off-topic discussion, I have included a google-searched recipe:

Do you still remember me? I haven't been here for a while & I sure have missed it. I was just paging through all the wonderful recipes I missed. You have all posted some great ones in the past couple of weeks.
I have a new puppy that has been taking my time away from TKL. She is a black lab mix named Jenny, & she is a doll. She is very smart & I've been having fun teaching & playing with her. Of course, I have to keep my other 2 dogs from getting their noses "out of joint", so I spend extra time with them too.

I have also been doing some home improvement projects, including getting new windows last week. This also took a lot of time as I had to take down all my window dressings & wash them & move all the furniture out of the way for the installers. It is worth it though, as I love the new windows.

Needless to say, I haven't tried any new recipes lately. I have been mainly having microwaved veggies & bread for dinner. Tonight I'm having one of my favorites - California Pie. I'm serving it with a tossed green salad & fresh peaches for dessert.

California Pie

1 (9 inch) unbaked pie crust
5 slices turkey breast
5 slices colby cheese
1 (16 ounce) bag frozen California medley vegetables - today I used a mix of fresh veggies from the farmer's market
5 slices brick cheese
1/3 cup sliced green onion
1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
1 medium zucchini, sliced
1 clove garlic, minced
6 slices fresh tomato
1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese

Preheat oven to 350 degress. Steam & drain frozen veggies. Saute onion, mushroom, zucchini, & garlic until tender. Layer in pie crust in following order: turkey, colby cheese, California medley veggies, brick cheese, sauteed veggies, tomatoes, & grated cheddar cheese. Bake 45 to 50 minutes.

This is also good without the turkey, if you want to use just veggies.

i have noticed this about the canadian way of working. if you nod and say yes at work then everything is fine but if you do a good job then your fucked. i suppose that goes for just about anywhere but it seems especially so here.

sorcery= pharmakias.

herb isn't a pharmaceutical, it is a plant. Will God punish those who like basil on their pasta as well?

Pie is better fuck cake.

alteredcourse 10.20.2008 11:00 PM

I'm feeling a lot better now that the hangover is gone and the WINEing can slow down a bit. Yeah Jon Boy, its definately that way here, just starting to realize it now. Just gonna get in there and do the job and go home.
Overall I have to learn that I have to stop taking things so personally. Somehow.

And the thing about pie is that the whip cream on top really makes it. Though, pumpkin is awesome. I love the creamy super sweet kind, with lots of whip cream. I hate when people make real pumpkin pie and dont really puree it so it turns out dry and lumpy.

terriblecanyons 10.21.2008 08:35 AM

Pookie - repped.

As for the topic at hand...
I play my guitar.
