I have a nasty suspicious mind. My first thought was that of course the boss is willing to recommend you, he wants to get rid of you, your attitude problem, and any other personality defects you might have.
Reminds me of my best friend’s worthless roomate. Unfortunately, her antics have been going on for so long (7+ YEARS) I’m kind of bored of being annoyed by her, and have become annoyed by my friend for putting up with it for so long.
The SDMB has taught me some constructive ways to deal with my frustration in the matter.
Litoris, if you give this woman (the one you’re writing about, not Missy2U) a link to the SDMB I will give you a very, very strong warning. 
That’s a bannable offense, right?
How does one pass a drug test “with flying colors”, anyway? You either have drugs in your system, or you don’t.
“Wow, most people don’t have drugs in their urine, but you really, really don’t have any drugs in your urine!” 
No urine at all?
Yeah, that part cracks me up, too. “well, I must say – I have never seen urine so clean! It was like mountain spring water from the Garden of Eden – and tasted like manna from heaven. I am passing you with flying colours!”
As for a direct link – I would PM it to you, but it’s actually on her Myspace so you would have to friend her. I realise that another reason I read them is that they allow me to feel superior a bit – with my normal inferiority complex, it’s a nice feeling. Hee hee! Maybe I will pull a few more to post. As for giving “Willow” a link to the Dope? No way in hell that’s going to happen. Even if I didn’t post this, I wouldn’t want her desecrating my hallowed ground!
In my head, it scanned as “vav-action day,” and somehow that made perfect sense.
Some people have opinions that others think are stupid. Maybe they are. Is it right, though, to try to humiliate someone on another message board when you could possibly confront her about it?
You could read this before congress an get the internet shut down. If only she would confine her whinging to her blog, I could see the benefit. A diary for narcissists, people who think that just because they’ve got two brain cells to rub together to form an opinion, it’s as valid as anyone else’s. And worthy of publication.
But if she’s writing this crap and bitching IRL? Yikes.
my google fu is weak today, “outlandishing” returned no hits, just a suggestion to rephrase. I was trying to find this blog
Litoris said it’s on her private MySpace site, so you won’t find it.
I can’t believe you don’t want “Willow” on The Dope, Lynn. I see her as many hours of entertainment for us until she is chewed up and spat out. And, no one will need to use foul language to insult her!!
I’VE GOT IT!! I remember now who she reminds me of! What was the name of that chick who posted about “little potato” or whatever, and had the sister who she got into it with here, and posted pictures of monster trucks and stuff? Does anyone remember who that was??
If I thought she read this message board, I would not have posted it. It is not about humiliating anyone. I don’t have any desire to confront her about anything – her ignorance will never be fought, because it is willful. I have removed all information that could connect her to a real-life person. Unless you are this person, I don’t really understand your dog in this fight? (If the truth be told, I didn’t really know it was a fight – I thought it was a simple, albeit somewhat lame, pitting of willful ignorance.)
I suppose I should have expected the eventual “how dare you make fun of this person who is obviously suffering from some affliction and should be pitied rather than humiliated by being talked about in such a way that the only way they could be identified is if they actually read the post” and yet, I don’t know…I had hoped that perhaps we had moved beyond that into the “hey, someone posted in the appropriate forum a rant about something that chapped their ass, rather than being a douche and saying something hurtful directly to the person even though it would serve no purpose” mode. :rolleyes:
Please, forgive me for being the kind of person who would post to the Pit about something that chaps my ass, get the vitriol and annoyance out of my system and move on with my life rather than being the type of person that would confront someone else about their willful ignorance and cause a whole big scene and falling out that would involve more people than just me and the person that writes these ignorant blogs. I honestly hope you can forgive me for this obvious flaw. I mean, you know, I’m kind of weird about you know, not being a douche, especially when it serves no purpose.
Date first US Indian reservation legislation passed: 1851
“Nothing was said”?
The policy was controversial from the start.
<snip>
A report submitted to Congress in 1868 found widespread corruption among the federal Native American agencies and generally poor conditions among the relocated tribes.
<snip>
By the late 1870s, the policy established by President Grant was regarded as a failure,
Date first African slaves reached what would become the continental United States:
1851 minus 1619: African slavery in America began 232 years before Native Americans were sent to reservations.
Note: this in no way implies persecution of Native Americans began in 1851. I’d date that to 1492.
That’s a bannable offense, right?
Welllll, not for the first instance. And if she knows TWO people like this, I would think that would be punishment enough.
Litoris said it’s on her private MySpace site, so you won’t find it.
I can’t believe you don’t want “Willow” on The Dope, Lynn. I see her as many hours of entertainment for us until she is chewed up and spat out. And, no one will need to use foul language to insult her!!
Yeah, kind of. I don’t see the need to invite more stupid onto the board, though. Generally we get enough stupid as it is. And I think of this sort of person as a lost cause, really. There’s the old saying “Beauty is only skin deep, but ugly goes clean to the bone.” In this case, I think it would be “Smart is only skin deep, but ignorance goes clean to the bone.” Not even the combined efforts of all Dopers, prolific or not, could help this woman with her ignorance. Though she probably would blog about how everyone on this new site is Mean and Hateful to her.
This chick reminds me of 80sHairMetalMaven/IDigBadBoys who used to post here. She talked about how she was pregnant, McDonald’s wasn’t giving her any maternity leave, and she and her hubby were renting furniture for like $500 a month. Every time somebody called her on some discrepancy, she would accuse them of engaging in personal attacks against her.
She eventually gave a big dramatic “I’m leaving you meanies forever” speech and sped back to the trailer park. Litoris’s pal fills that void.
I should mention that “Willow” is “wiccan.” I put it in quotes because her “coven” claims to only allow “perfect love and trust” into their midst – she’s not the only example of that “perfect love and trust” in that group, either. It’s one of the reasons my husband is a non-practicing wiccan – he just couldn’t get behind the ugliness of the people in the group.
When they first reconnected, my husband wanted us to get to be better friends with her, since he missed many of his old friends from that group. We both pretty much agree that while many of those friends are good people with whom he’d like to keep contact, she’s just too much of a burden, so we don’t go to her parties anymore. Let’s face it, when you already admittedly hate people in general (I do), it’s tough to get motivated to be around someone like this.
I like to keep the Dope to myself. I might talk about “this message board I frequent” but in general, I never mention it by name. There are damned few people that I would want to see on here, and those that I would like to see post here, I already have fantastic conversations with in person, so online would be kind of a waste.
So wait. Does this woman have super powers, or not? If so, what kind? If she can teleport or read minds, maybe she’s onto something, and the rest of us are all jackanapes.
Admittedly I’m not very techno-hip, and know nothing about blogs, text-messaging, chatrooms, IMing and whatnot, but I’ve always suspected that blogs exist so that self-involved simpletons like Willow can blather on endlessly about themselves and their uber-uninteresting lives. This tends to confirm it.
