>A therapist has learned to do exactly that

Exactly what? Listen and affirm?

>but they're the one teaching me how to do this

Not to be rude, but couldn't you also learn this stuff, online for free without exposing yourself?

The objectivity is nice, but they just dig and dig - even if there's no substance. Example: a therapist GRILLED me about my tattoos, for almost half a session (out of network and cost me $275) and refused to accept that I got them because I like art?

Maybe it's the maple syrup in that particular bacon that a person should watch out for. Or the pancakes they drizzle liquid sugar on top of beside the bacon. Or the sugar-filled orange juice in a cup beside that plate. It isn't the fat in the bacon specifically making anyone fat. It's the combined caloric intake and the sugar that are the problem.

No, it just makes you one of the insufferable assholes I mentioned previously. Go head first into the shallow end somewhere, eh? Amateur?? 🖕

You post a pro tip that's flat out wrong, we call you out on it and that makes us insufferable assholes.

I see.

This similar thing happened with a client who refused to pay. Told us she never got the invoice, and if it was sent to her, she didn’t see it, or she would have disputed it. Our attorney introduced to the arbitrator that she indeed did open the invoice three separate times, once right after it was received/sent, a second time where she had fwd’ed the invoice to three different individuals, and a third time about 3 hours before this arbitration session was scheduled to begin…

Not necessarily lying, but finding at least one thing that you do like. There will always be at least something that you enjoy more than the rest, even if it is a shitty picture. Kids come up to me all the time with their art, and I still find something specific that I enjoy. Like the color or the strokes or the lines or whatever. Shows I am paying attention and not just say okay cool bye

Definitely ask your boss or HR, but I worked for a place that gave us holiday PTO to use for paid holidays. So we'd get Thanksgiving off but we had to put in 8 hours of PTO for it. Then, if we worked on Thanksgiving we would get paid for the hours we worked and we could choose to (a) also use that holiday PTO and get an extra big paycheck (but it would be 8 hrs of regular pay, not overtime or holiday pay), or (b) save the PTO for a vacation at a later time.

I used to take travel pics. You know, the usual landmarks and whatnot. After years of traveling and looking back at the pictures, they were not special as tons of other photographers took a similar image.

After that, I made sure to take pictures of myself and other travel companions standing in front of such scenes, even if it made the picture less “artistically perfect.”
