Chadwick Boseman.. him working through his terminal cancer messed me up

This^^
He was filming and doing talk shows and charity stuff while dealing with treatment, etc. and - I’m assuming at some point - facing his mortality. I’m a giant baby of a grownup that can’t even fathom that.

No. I don’t get upset over someone I don’t know dying, and you shouldn’t either. You all need to grow up and quit being so invested in the lives of celebrities that wouldn’t know you from Adam and couldn’t care less about you.

D3 that's a good way to phrase it. When my fav tahoe died I didn't mourn them as a person so much as I mourned the loss of the world they had created.

Yeah. After being sober for over a year I went out and bought $200 in liquor the day she died. That sucked.

Rant: Help me to understand why some people here on FB will say they will refer you, say everything looks great, but don’t want to answer questions about their experience with the company?

There's a lady at work who's probably very smart and good at her job but i feel like she's so dumb sometimes because she always has ideas about how we can reduce our workload by moving it to another team offshore which is obviously great for the company because they have to pay less money for that work but it could mean that our jobs become redundant eventually.
