Text of the page (random words):
ng for help that s no longer an option getting another credit card is out of the question at this point because high credit usage scores drop a person s credit worthiness and lenders won t give them the time of day bottom line the situations i have highlighted here are not isolated incidents they are common any conversation about a person who needs help is going to focus mostly on what they should be doing to help themselves people don t seem to realize that by the time someone asks for help they ve already done everything they can do largely because this country is such a hostile environment for anyone who lets on that they re not doing great next time you see a person ask for help even if you can t do anything for them yourself at least be kind if you feel the need to offer advice before doing so think to yourself if i were in this situation would i have already thought of this posted on june 23 2018 june 24 2018 by civileitanna 12 comments bitches get stuff done i was a major bitch at work this week just ask my coworker he ll probably tell you i must have been suffering from the worst case of pms in history because that s what people say when a normally even tempered woman gets fed up enough to stand up for herself i m normally a nice engineer i m the person they can count on to design the stuff everybody finds boring and never complain about it i m the engineer who will always say yes to an extra assignment who will take on anything and who will make any move necessary for the organization without a single complaint except maybe to a trusted friend at happy hour or my husband every boss i ve ever had has told everyone anastasia is the easiest engineer to work with her work is top notch she works fast and she never complains and it s true i am an easy engineer to work with this is unsurprising considering my upbringing i m a nice southern girl i don t take up much space i move over when someone else is walking toward me on the sidewalk even if it s relatively clear that they should i don t dare weigh over 120 pounds probably because i subconsciously don t even want to take up physical space for years i wouldn t wear heels because they make me taller than most men and my well above average height mother taught me that that s something that s to be avoided if at all possible growing up i received hundreds of messages that basically told me that people were allowed to walk on me my boss skimmed off my tips well find another job what an asshole don t ask for them back though you might need him as a reference and you wouldn t want him to tell people you re difficult teacher gave class officer position to dumb as a rock popular kid when you deserved it more don t make waves people will think you re difficult friend s dad made comments about how you re growing up in all the right places ok no more sleepovers for anastasia but we definitely will not say anything you don t want that kind of reputation people will think you re difficult this is why i m the easy to work with engineer this is why i ve designed all the projects nobody else wanted why i ve served on boards i didn t have time or energy for why i did the work other people complained about why i spent a year of my life practicing engineering at a foldable table half taken up by other people s file boxes in an actual storage room while people who didn t even have degrees got real cubicles i d always been told the world was allowed to walk on me that i was a nice girl and that means you don t make waves you don t offend you don t speak up you stay grateful for what you have because really nobody owes you anything which really means you deserve nothing this week something clicked and all of that changed i actually spoke the words if this guy doesn t step off me with an urgent quickness i m going back to my old job to my boss and then stay out of my files and away from my projects for the rest of your life to my coworker my boss was understanding my coworker was stunned my intern looked on with the same face i make when i see any of the women in the black panther movie being extremely badass it felt like an out of body experience and i liked it this didn t come out of nowhere of course that would be crazy i can explain i joined my current working group a month and a half ago and due to some shifting of personnel i became the lead engineer after three weeks the other engineer in the group is fresh out of school he s been in the group for five months they also brought on one other engineer but he s been there just a few days so he s an unknown quantity at this point he seems fine i ve been with our organization longer than anyone else here including our boss and i transferred over from the most respected division because the work this group does is more complimentary to my research interests and i needed a more field based position for a couple years in order to advance to higher director level positions the fresh out of school coworker whom i ll call ag from here forward it stands for arrogant guy which is a perfectly accurate description did not take the shakeup in which i became our group s lead engineer very well at all he seems to think that because he s been in this working group longer he owns the place and that it doesn t matter that i m actually quite drastically ahead of him professionally tenure wise and everything else he s had no mentor like what i had as a new engineer and therefore has no professional courtesy i overheard him the other day telling someone he trained me the reality is i mostly trained myself although he did give me some links to videos i wanted to watch from our machines manufacturers so maybe that s what he thinks training is the worst part isn t his attitude although that s pretty horrible but the fact that he has no sense of boundaries at all he thinks every project is his and horns in on everything he possibly can a month ago i did a field investigation in conjunction with another engineer who left a week later and a technician we got back to the office and ag who was not on the mission took the flash drive of the data said i ll process this now and i never saw it again i didn t question it because i was still brand new and i was just learning the system a couple weeks later he was out of town at a training and our boss told me to conduct an analysis at the request of a client i did the analysis and when i finished it my boss wanted it but i had an appointment that morning and was out of the office the boss knew this and was ok with waiting until i got back ag came back into the office told the boss i ll do it repeated my analysis and luckily cc d me on all these emails i got back to the office saw this worked through lunch to assemble the presentation my boss wanted ran to his office while ag was still away for lunch and gave him the presentation once again luckily it was ramadan at the time which meant my boss was fasting and would be spending lunchtime in his office had he or i eaten lunch that day this would not have worked and ag would have stolen my assignment right out from under me it was then that i started to realize that i was going to have to do something about this a few days ago i was talking with my boss about a project that i m the assigned engineer of he asked me about the presentation for it to give to the client and i told him i d finished it i showed it to him and he was happy with it ag overheard this conversation and went into my files on the shared drive changing a few things adding a bunch of things and not saying a single word to me about it when i saw this i went to my boss i told him that i need ag to step off me quickly because i absolutely cannot work like this luckily he understood completely and said he d work on writing a policy to address this sort of thing the following day the boss and i were presenting my analysis via webinar to a client and they asked a question my boss and i both said we didn t have the test data they were talking about ag who was sitting in on the webinar blurted out that he did ran out for his laptop came back in and basically took over the webinar discussing an analysis nobody asked him to do on a project that didn t belong to him with data we have no idea where he got we were horrified when i got back to my desk ag looking very pleased with himself told me that if i wanted to do the analysis myself that was ok but he was doing the next step of it and would contact the client with his findings i was ready to spit nails at this point but maintained my composure i walked over to him looked him straight in the eye and in a calm and even tone told him to stay out of my projects for the rest of his life see i was a major bitch at work this week but we re having a policy implementation meeting on monday and the boss is going to talk with all of the engineers about staying out of each other s projects the procedure for assigning projects and timelines for completing them in addition to file management data processing and other things relevant ag will know he can t step on my toes anymore and if he does my boss assures me that he won t hesitate to take official disciplinary action the thing is this is how he s been the entire time he s been here i talked with the engineer who left and she said yeah that s just how ag is that s his personality but why should he be allowed to continue that i don t think he should be frankly i m glad i got fed up enough to call this out for what it was incite the boss to make an official policy which he allowed me to contribute to the development of and change things for the good of the group we re going to be better off for this and my boss told me he s glad i came to him he is now speaking to me in terms of when i am a director not if but when apparently being unafraid to call out a bad situation is part of being leadership material i have learned valuable lessons from this and i will continue to learn it s like tina fey said bitches get stuff done sorry ag your lead engineer is kind of a bitch but if you stop stepping on her toes you ll be just fine stay in your lane and i am in fact a very easy engineer to work with posted on june 18 2018 june 18 2018 by civileitanna 16 comments we have to talk about immigrants in the current episode of the 2018 season of the world has completely gone off the rails have you noticed how much people hate immigrants we have to talk about this i m the wife of an immigrant i spent years of my life living on the us mexico border i currently reside in a state heavily affected by the current policies and i m a person with common sense who can read therefore i m completely fed up with the current national discourse on the subject first of all american white people because it s pretty much always white people do you even understand how stupid we all look when your first question when you see a crying child being separated from their parents is well did they come here legally take off the maga hat for a second stay away from the tin foil hat and realize that nobody in their right mind wants to leave their home country unless things are really bad there or something really good is waiting for them in the new place really think about it you may think it would be cool or fun to live abroad but have you ever really considered the logistics and details of it i have my husband is from england it s a great place but i know if we moved there which we may someday it would be hard for me in some ways i couldn t get my favorite foods anymore i would have to learn new customs new laws new cultural norms if something happened to one of my relatives i d have to take an international flight to get to them and that s expensive my professional licenses would need to be transferred none of my electronics would work without converters these are little things i know and that s moving to a country people like to go to not just whatever is next door and isn t the situation you re running from the latter has no choice in it whatsoever this isn t something people are doing for fun this is the international equivalent of your neighbor banging on your door because their house is on fire are you going to let them in or not these people are coming here because things have gotten bad where they came from have you ever been to the non touristy parts of honduras mexico or any other country in that region or even lived in a metro area that included both us and mexican cities cartels run the show child soldiers are a thing that exists and the economy is horrible when i lived on the border there was one town in mexico about 20 minutes from me that went through 5 police chiefs in one year because the cartels kept killing them if you look at that place on google street view you ll see a bunch of mexican army checkpoints in the streets law enforcement is powerless the government is bought and people do really upstanding things like shooting up children s birthday parties something i used to hear about on the radio a lot when i lived on the border these people coming here didn t want to leave their homes they had no choice and i would bet my entire salary for the rest of my life that if you were in that situation you d do exactly the same thing i know i would even living on the us side of the border as i did it wasn t if but when someone you knew was killed in a cartel related incident in the case of the person i knew it was a case of mistaken identity that sort of thing isn t uncommon they kill innocent people all the time and are basically never caught or brought to justice yes you absolutely would leave that environment by any means possible if you thought you could give your kids a better life somewhere else don t act like you wouldn t but anastasia they re coming here to take all our welfare benefits we shouldn t have to support them where do i begin first of all you re a morally bankrupt excuse for a person if you think that granting political asylum to people is worth less than the cost of some food stamps and medicaid that stuff isn t even expensive i wish they could all get full benefits i really do the reality is immigrants are generally ineligible for benefits and undocumented immigrants are always ineligible because they don t have a social security number when my husband got his green card the immigration people were very clear that he could not qualify for any form of public assistance for five years he s never gotten public assistance even after that but the fact remains immigrants are not coming here and eating up all the welfare benefits because they re simply not allowed to get them in the first place plus social welfare benefits take up a minuscule portion of the federal budget compared to numerous other things if you re a real fiscal conservative maybe you should be demanding the department of defense be audited or check out how many tax breaks wal mart got last year while paying their workers so little that most qualify for food stamps we d...
