There honestly is no better feeling than going for a dump when constipated and you finally squeeze out that first nugget that’s been blocking your sphincter.

Sorry to always break the topic of dick and poop jokes but I was wondering... Who here had blacklight posters in their room as a teen or young man(woman)? I always thought they were kinda tacky even back then but they were popular. Confess gaf!

I had glow in the dark stickers, maybe even a poster with glow in the dark highlights on it. But I was just a kid, as an adult a blacklight poster is some gothy edgelord lame shit.

Hmmm unfortunately they weren't a thing when or where I grew up but it sounds awesome! I had those naked trolls with a rhinestone for a belly button and for some odd reason we collected those ugly pacifiers. Some of them glew in the dark.

But I had two elder brothers with awesome boy stuff. We had all the Turtles and He-Man shit. I had April and She-Ra but whenever I wanted to joyn them they said "She doesn't appear in that episode" :messenger_persevering:.

I remember pacifiers being a thing for ecstasy users back in the day. I can't remember why to save my life.

Never had that problem with Princess Leia.

It's okay, I'm here to the rescue and keep it on topic because the blacklight posters in my room were all of dicks.

You're welcome.

I had a very disappointing and distressing call from my manager today. The company is broke and all 55 members of staff are being made redundant. Just when you think things are on the up, you get knocked back down.

Companies always gonna fuck you, then you get stuck in the cycle of always being the new employee. So when the next company you eventually find a job at gets in "Financial trouble" you'll be first out the door again because you've been there the least time. You never get to stay anywhere long enough to get up into one of the safe protected higher management positions who they should cut first for cost saving. But they always cut the cheapest people who actually do the work.

Also, don't forget to steal shit. Laptop, office supplies sealed unused boxes of printer toner. Go right to your local temp agency and sign up, don't hang around for the garden leave period just go.

It just kinda sucks that after 10+ years of working here, they’re just gonna drop me like a bad penny. I think we all get some form of redundancy package, but that doesn’t make up for the fact that we’re being thrown back into an already crowded job market. I’ve already got my accounts set up on Indeed, Reed, Jobsite, etc, it’s just tricky finding a job in my field of work.

We’ve been told we get to keep the laptops, so that’s something. We’re all in for the next two weeks, so I’m gonna take some time to scope the offices and see what else I could find to sell.

They've known for a long time, they just didn't say anything so the staff would not leave.

Don't go through recruiting agencies just online. If they have a high street office (Like they used to have back in the day) walk through the door and ask for office temp work, temp to perm. Have two CV's you specialist one and then a "Just need a job NOW" dumb one where you present yourself as a competent but unambitious Office Administrator. Send the right version of the CV depending on what job you are applying for.

Anyway work fast, for the next two weeks everyone is going to be grabbing the goodies, it's all going to belong to the liquidators anyway and they'll just sell it for pennies on the pound.

Sheeeeit. Kid came from daycare with a fever, I’ve had a sore throat and cough today so I took one of these freebies the gubment sent out…ready to go 2 for 2 against this bitch
Oof that sucks, but at least it's not as bad the second time around for most people. I got it twice too, second time after having been vaccinated also.

I’m sure we’ll all be fine, it’s more dealing with the pain of keeping kids home all week, and baby seems pretty fussy. Older kiddo seems totally normal and wife has zero symptoms. We’re both vaccinated and boosted and she had it when I did last time too, before the vaccine.

Last time I mostly just had chills and aches but today my throat has gotten sore as fuck and my voice is super raspy

I'll never not find it strange when someone who's been with gaf for almost two decades closes their account. He(i presume) hasn't even posted since the exodus but decided to come back and tell a mod to perm him? Weird. K KTallguy

I just did one of the at-home COVID tests and it was negative. I guess the sneezing/runny nose I've had for the past 2 weeks is allergies or a cold. I was hoping I could be one of the cool kids like Thaedolus Thaedolus

I think I’m already feeling better. Baby has been really fussy/wanting to be held all day but I think Tylenol and ibuprofen has done the trick with the fever. Wife and older kid are still totally fine.

Edit: post your address I’ll send some midol
