Mental Asylum of Utter Madness- 24/7 Stinger Home! (Page 72)

Mental Asylum............Hmmmmmmmm.

Where are you I know Scorps are hard to arouse. Hiding in secret.

I am screwed up! lol

It's gardening season and I'm already exhausted....

The Cap came in yet a-fucking-gain tonight.

He's also magically our new beer reps now, after getting fired from his last job. So I will now likely be seeing him at least once a week.

I really despise him. Thinking about quitting level despise him.

Posted by ellesbelles
I have spent so much time with the Cap since I got home and I have another week-ish before I head out again.



I love our conversations.



Yesterday, we were just hanging out and I asked him about all the autobiography books he has....something that I'm not all that interested in (lol).



"Why read so much about other people? How is that interesting at all?"



lol



His answer got me thinking....



"Their drive. I'm attracted to drive. I have issues with drive sometimes and their stories inspire me. You know....Pisces moon problems. Sometimes it's hard to stay motivated."



I can't relate to other people's drive, just my own, so I started to think about what motivates me.



I love Integrity. It really gets me giddy. Actions of others keep me on point. Especially when words match those actions.



Then I looked at both of us and realised....



My drive inspires him.

His integrity inspires me.



I ❤ this man.

...Scorpio Mars vs. Scorpio Moon

Only one of us will be left standing. 🦂

isn't Moon a Psychic placement? with expert channeling to Pisces placements? Maybe you need Mercury or Jupiter to win. Or maybe a Saturnian thing. like boss, reputation, law.

maybe your overload him with information? Aqua Merc is busy and there's no secret he wants to find out?

or how could a Pisces be tricked? showing oneself helpless? something or somebody needs charity act?

do we have Pisces with ScoMo on here?

Today, 20 minutes before I was supposed to leave work, and 40 minutes after my shift was supposed to end, my assistant general manager attempted to fire me on the spot over an imaginary slight on his end to his ego. When I tried to talk and explain, communicate through his miscommunication, he made a loud siren/whooping noise over my voice the entire time I talked and kept doing so each time I tried to speak.

I say attempted to fire, because he doesn’t have the authority to do so. So he instead tried to bully me into quitting. When I demanded an official review per our company standards, he was forced to comply and said I was suspended indefinitely. Got up and was screaming at me to leave the building, I was barred from speaking to fellow employees, I had no right to speak, was insubordinate, disrespectful and a meeting would be held at his convenience so the GM could fire me since he wasn’t allowed.

This morning the same Assistant General Manager fired another employee without GM approval, dragged GM in on his off day to approve it. Suspended another coworker. Yelled at three others. And made another manager cry. All prior to this incident.

My coworkers and other managers are freaking out and telling me not to quit. To have a meeting. Etc. I start job hunting Monday. And tomorrow I will be contacting a few former jobs looking to pick up shifts till I find a new spot.

I have loved this company and these people with such an openness and loyalty the last few months. But it’s time to find a new place. Time for a new start. And with a little bit of dedication, a totally new career.

Thank you universe for the push in the right direction. However uncomfy it feels now.

Sorry to hear about that. Yeah, when a door is being closed on you, our first urge is to fight it. Don't*

*disclaimer: don't let some assh*le try to treat you like sh*t in the process.

I’m so conflicted right now. My stomach is in knots. I honestly don’t know what the right decision is....



I was offered the job I intereviewed for back in April. It’s 10k more than what I make now. However, it’s going to be more stress, long hours, lots of travel and court appearances. The long hours will also most likely interfere with my second part time job I just accepted that starts in the Fall. I begin training this summer for the part time job. The part time job is easy money and I’d be working from home. I took the part time job because I needed the extra money. The full time job I was just offered would still be more money than my current two jobs combined. However, it’s high stress vs. my current two jobs that’s minimal stress.



Ugh...my current full time job can be stressful at times and it’s tedious work. But I know the work involved and I love my coworkers. The main reason I was looking for work elsewhere was because of the pay and the favoritism that’s played in the office. It’s gotten slightly better since new management has taken over, but still there.



I know deep down it boils down to fear. Fear of the unknown....not knowing what I’m getting myself into. Fear of change. I’m a person who is used to and comfortable with being stuck in a rut. I thrive on routine and knowing what to expect from day to day.



Sigh...I should be happy and excited about this, but instead I’ve given myself a headach over worrying about making the wrong decision.

Change. You’re very fixed in your chart. So change is often filtered as deeply terrifying. That’s ok.

Stop and think about the kind of life you want ten years from now. Think about the things that satisfy you on the deepest level. Pick the job track that best lines up with whatever those things are.

Breathe and know that whatever you pick, if you put your emotion and your heart into it, you will make it prosper. So pick the job that will make your heart and emotions prosper in return. Whatever that may be. click to expand

They fired me.

I still think it was unjust. Given especially how other managers felt me (told me as i was leaving) and the response I’ve received from now former coworkers, I’m inclined to believe I was pushed out, and it wasn’t that I was out of hand.

But I have this deep sense of being thankful for it. Not even a little angry. I feel great new things coming for me out of this. click to expand

Well I am sorry to hear you were fired, but I'm not sorry you will have a better opportunity if that makes sense 😄

I did something very scorpionic and mischeivious today

So the software company....the one I implement for. I'm an independent so I am forced to make my own tools...and quite honestly, they dont have any that are worth a crap anyways.

They needed a progress report and they thought I didnt have a format and they were pushing really hard....because I'm taking hours away from them.

So, last Thursday, I made the most amazing progress report in excel. It has links and conditional formatting, projections, strategy and pivot tables and vlookups .....its fucking genius...I should sell it to other project managers...I stayed up 32 hours straight perfecting this.

I turned it in on Monday.....but I changed it to PDF so they couldnt steal my work....lol

First response I got back....

"Do you have a spreadsheet version?"

lmao

Everyone knows that you can convert pdf to excel....they were after my formulas!!!

So, I converted my pdf to excel so no formulas or format existed.....and sent it back.

Then I got...."There is no legend, can you tell me how you got these calculations?"

So, I pulled my sag in merc out and wrote a six paragraph explanation (of course, withholding key elements)

My gem partner was like..."ffs, why is he so interested in your spreadsheet?"

I'm like..."Because he thinks I'm dumb and am just going to hand it over to him...

I'm the same way. If I develop something, especially for work, it's my intellectual property--- to be shared, not given away.

*Scorp struggles to move fingers*

Him: How's it going?

Scorp: *sheepishly* It's okay *wince* hurts a bit.

Him: *watches* Are you suppose to make a fist?

Scorp: That's what she's said...*move fingers*

Him: Does the middle one hurt the most?

Scorp: No. Why?

Him: You haven't moved it.

Scorp: I don't need to.

Him: To make a fist? You sort of do.

Scorp: Not to give the middle finger.

Him: You're training your hand to give the middle finger?

Scorp: It's gonna be 4 more weeks in this stupid thing.

Him: Priorities.

Scorp: Exactly.

This Stinger Lady is slowly falling in love, may the fear and panic commence. 😆

I've come to realize that if a Scorp moon is not paired with a Scorp Sun, it can come off as "heavy" on the other signs. Like soul sapping "heavy".

Jesus it's like pure doom and gloom even when they are trying to be funny. Lol.

Yeah. I had acast and protective gauze around my fingers for the last 8 weeks that had to get changed and dressed once a week. My fingers became stiff and swollen and it broke skin in some places under the cast. The cast was removed permanently yesterday. My fingers look like ugly burn sausages because of the bruising and broken skin. So the middle finger is how I'm feeling right now.

What did you break?

click to expand

Fingers on my left hand. I was initially in a splint(s). My fingers weren't healing straight (aka I b*tched a lot), so they put me in this special casting material you heat up and mould to your finger. When it cools it gets hard like a regular cast, but can be customized and shaped the way you want the fingers to set. It's kind of cool, but the material is rough on the skin apparently. It was when I was MIA and Ram had to take over DXPIL for a bit.

I realize it's not a long time in the scheme of things but i don't like it.

I'm not sure if that's true. All depends on the type of relationship you two have and your understanding of how that relationship works.

If we are just dating, screwing or testing out sex toys () a week isn't that long for me. If we are in an established relationship, you better be somewhere there is absolutely no cell/phone service because a week of no contact won't fly. Not with a heads up beforehand.

Is this is MO? Drop of a gift of some form and then bounce?

It's the first time he's given me a gift of any kind the entire time I've known him. He's my ex. We broke up years ago but have have been in touch, communication wise, off and on since.

Reconnected physically & otherwise around Christmas. Neither of us put a label on it or anything but it definitely felt more mature and considerate than what we had before. And this is the longest we've gone without talking since then.

Okay, but has poor communication, in a general sense been his MO (e.g. difficulty opening up, sharing feelings, expressing what he feels as he feels them....)?

Yes.

Well what you're seeing is a "mature" version of what you saw before love. Scorps grow up, but they still have their comfortable place where things just feel better (or safer). For non communicators that may be silence, taking space or doing things that simply looks disjointed to others (e.g. buys a intimate gift then disappears). In this instance, the only thing that really separates a "baby" Scorp from a "grown" Scorp is he/she has more awareness of the reasons they go silent, take space and do things that look disjointed. They still suck at communicating it to others. click to expandclick to expand

Well, at least the middle finger gives your mouth a break so you could keep a menacing silence whilst you show them the finger. It adds to the overall effect, beautifully so. 😆

Just went to lunch with my scorp coworker, she is amazing for helping me to put things in perspective about my "grown" scorpio. Made me realize we're both scarred, and probably both scared as well. No matter what age you are it's a frightening concept to give someone your heart and trusting them with it, guess that's why it's called "falling" in love not lightly floating into a state of bliss...

Thanked her for the therapy session, gave her an IOU for next time she needs it when her virgo husband does something idiotic and she needs to vent.

Love you scorpio ladies!

I’m still in shock and keep pinching myself to make sure it’s for real and not just a dream! 😮. Thank the Lord, the universe and everything else!!!! Perhaps my life is starting to look up and the dark cloud that’s been hanging over my head is disappearing!

I just did my second set of hand exercises for the day. Whatever >😢

So about that love life...I meant to ask you about that.

So I am in love with the Investigation Discovery Channel and it was down for the last 5 days---or I couldn't access it for one reason or another *cough* someone broke the internet *cough*. I think it was having an impact on my sleep/morning routine. I literally watch this channel just before falling asleep and when I am getting ready in the morning. I like to get ready while "Fear Thy Neighbor" or another favourite show is playing in the background.

Anyway, since Friday I keep waking up at 2-4 hours before I am scheduled to get up. I have also been "late" every single day this week....funny how I get so use to a routine that any little change can throw me off. Anyway, it's back and I'm excited (sent an excited emoji text informing two people that knew my pain---I was truly bummed out), so we'll see what happens tonight.

So I woke up exhausted and arrived to work 5 minutes late. So much for that theory...

Why do so many people feel the need to mention Scorpios either in comparison to some other sign or to further some stupid stereotype I strongly doubt Scorpios even started. People hype up the sign whether intentional or not and then turn around and say it ain't sh*t 😆 . I've never once referred to or described myself as mysterious, deep, the goddess of the bedroom and I don't have intense penetrating eyes. They're eyeballs! They work just like yours do. Yet, Scorps are full of themselves *seizure worthy eye roll*

I go home Saturday....or Sunday....cant decide 😊

When I'm home I have to start packing up. We are moving into a bigger place first week of August.

I'm gonna have a real live home office!

In September I'm heading back to Austin for a few days....the Virgo son has something really special planned for the Libra ❤

*like*

I like having an office at home. Sometimes I just lay on the floor and look at the ceiling to think lol. Point is, I get to do it in a space that's all mine.

So I am in love with the Investigation Discovery Channel and it was down for the last 5 days---or I couldn't access it for one reason or another *cough* someone broke the internet *cough*. I think it was having an impact on my sleep/morning routine. I literally watch this channel just before falling asleep and when I am getting ready in the morning. I like to get ready while "Fear Thy Neighbor" or another favourite show is playing in the background.

Anyway, since Friday I keep waking up at 2-4 hours before I am scheduled to get up. I have also been "late" every single day this week....funny how I get so use to a routine that any little change can throw me off. Anyway, it's back and I'm excited (sent an excited emoji text informing two people that knew my pain---I was truly bummed out), so we'll see what happens tonight.

Between your finger and internet woes:

I love chocolate. Thank you!

Trust, I was laying in bed last weekend because I had a bad run of cramps and all I had to entertain myself was old episodes of Grey's Anatomy. That show brings on too many tears for my liking. It may have been the PMS though.

Can virgal vent in here?

Yesterday, go to store after work. Open car door, on ground are a 1987 quarter heads up (my brother that passed away 8 months ago sends me quarters, this one was from the year I got married and had my oldest son, also a virgo), a 2018 penny heads up (the scorp's mom who was a scorp, his dad used pennies to get her to walk at the end because she had dementia) and a dime tails up. Made me smile bittersweetly to myself, say hello to my brother wherever he is. Called scorp to tell him, he doesn't answer. Nor did he call me back, didn't hear from him until he texted me "morning babe" at 10:30 this morning. Finally texted him "hi" after fuming for a bit. Then I get Bad day. One word sentence. Acknowledgement. How does he make me amused, when actually I want to rip into him for not vibing that I needed him to call me last night? Grrrr...

Of course you could vent @Jules-II, feel free to. All signs are welcomed here, especially dear Virgals.

Perhaps, he was asleep or did not have access to his phone during the evening. It happens when we are brooding or when we are in our recharge mode. Especially, if he had a bad day and most likely was working through it on his own, unwilling to unleash his troubles on or burden you. He could not have given you the reaction you had wanted, not that he did not feel or want to share in that moment with you. However, if he is in capable could you blame him for taking it on him to unravel his own mess, away from you.

Is that not being respectful towards you ?

We all have our lesser moments, for Stingers, when we do, the last thing we would want is to offload unto our loved ones. We take great responsibility in handling our own mess until or at least we could comprehend it enough to reemerge to give again. Next time, when he resurfaces, and when you are in a calmer state. Tell him how you felt, without accusing him. Share with him your feelings, and have a discussion about it so you do not resent him. Also it gives him a chance, to listen to you and be aware of what he had missed.

Thanks for the reminder, TLS. Next time I see him in person I'll share that story with him. He has this exceptional ability to calm me down when I forget to, or am unable to do it myself. I hope he feels the same from me...

Say My Name, Say My Name

***hour and half meeting. As late team members come in they are introduced to the Scorp***

*20 minutes following a semi heated team meeting co-worker Scorp has worked with on 5 assessments walks into office*

Co-worker: *walks in without knocking* Hey, can I come in?

Scorp: *Really? Your a** is already all up in our office.*

Office mate: Yeah.

Scorp: *Goes back to typing report*

Co-worker: So that was intense huh?

Office mate: Yeah I think some people just get really triggered by certain topics.

Co-worker: Yeah....blah, blah, blah.... I find people like to overlook a lot of subtle things. I always pay attention to the details. Always. It's important to blah blah blah...I like to hear myself talk so I'll continue....

Office mate: Yeah I think that is so important.

Co-worker: *to Scorp* I really liked what you had to say about assessing...blah blah blah. I was taking minutes, but I forgot your name. *walks over to desk* You need to move your phone.....

Scorp: *Really? You have a whooooole desk to write on and you need this tiny space where my phone is to write?..smiles and moves phone over* That's okay. It's Rosita.

Co-worker: Easy enough *writes "Rosita" under "Presenter"*

Scorp: Isn't it though? *goes back to typing report*

Co-worker: Okay, great! *leaves*.

Office mate: *smiles* Why did you tell him your name is Rosita?

Scorp: Let's see how Mr. Details explains who the hell Rosita is when the minutes go out.

Office mate: Lol. You said your name like 4 times in the meeting.

Scorp: This. And we've worked together for 2 months.

Office mate: You remind me of my sister. She's always messing with people. We're suppose to go out tonight to celebrate her birthday.

Scorp: *Gemini* I'm sure I do. 😄

I dont get angry often. It makes me uncomfortable. 12th house venus/mars/uranus.

I haven't been this angry in like 5 years.

The Cap and I had our first argument today. Like a real one. I cant go into detail...because it's uncomfortable. Nothing like cheating or abuse. It was blatant disrespect towards me and I have a really hard time with that.

I was so angry I couldnt look at him or even open my eyes because there were tears behind them.

He kept apologizing and kissing on me and I just felt disgusted. I just wanted him to leave. I really wanted to be alone.

I warned him that if he didnt stop that I would not be able to control my tongue and he would be better served letting me cool off.

He didnt stop.

I said some really hurtful things.

I really dont know how to be in a relationship and I dont think he does either.

I don't know what was said or done... but it was his fault.

It's not you, it's him.

Don't let him Capri-Raptor you. They're bad about that.

That 12th house mars can be a real biotch sometimes...I don't get angry often either, but when I do it takes me a looooong time to calm down. The fact that he apologized for whatever he did is the important part. We can only admit when we do something wrong and make amends, perfectly imperfect beings that we are. Take a walk, take a deep breath, regroup. You're strong.

I went to bed early....I'm still angry. We are now in a standoff to completely avoid each other for as long as humanly possible. With his pisces moon in the 8th and my 12th house mess.....we will literally share the same breathing space and pretend the other doesnt exist.

*sigh*

I dont feel like being the bigger person here.

I hear you on this...My ex husband was so good at pushing my buttons to get me to see red. Why he would want to I never figured out unless fighting was foreplay for him. We would have knock-down drag out fights, I would try to leave or lock myself in the bathroom to calm myself down so I wouldn't say things that he wouldn't want to hear. He would come at me harder, even though I warned him I needed to step away and regroup. (Scorpio moon vs Scorpio mars is not pretty!) Not talking isn't the answer, but sometimes you just need some space away from the man to be okay. I needed permanent space away eventually...

I meant to come back to this and haven't read much past this post. Have you ever said this to him? Not in a serious "we need to discuss it" mode, just in passing one day after he makes you laugh about something stupid...

"How do you do that?"

"What?"

"Make me smile when I really just want to rip into you?"

"Why do you want to rip into me?"

"I don't now. Sometimes I do."

"Really? Why?"

"Because I expect you to read my mind when I'm in a _______ mood" *snuggle close*

"I can read your mind. Sometimes I just have my head stuck up my a**"

Okay, so it may not go like that, but you get my point.

I cant wait.

...to see his shoes all lined up at the foyer
....to see the half used onion in the fridge
.....to scowl and then giggle as I pull his clothes out of the dryer that he forgot because he was cleaning the house before I arrived
.....the smell of his favourite essential oils
.....rubbing my fingers all over his bald head
.....nuzzling up to his ear so I can see that eye brow wince and lip curl combo while he complains about goosebumps
......to get pushed nearly off the bed as he gets as close as he possibly can while we sleep
......his treats he brings home after his son's soccer game in Chicago
.....the cuddling on the little big sofa
.....soccer (maybe not so much )
.....the untouched puzzle on the dining room table we are challenging each other to finish
......his paperwork scattered all over my (his) desk
......his schedule he has meticulously written on the bathroom mirror
.....him ❤

So I walk into my kitchen earlier today and right there in the middle of the floor is this HUGE lizard!!! I’m not taking about those little things.....this thing was extra long and fat!! As soon as I saw it and it saw me we both run in opposite directions. Me screaming the whole time! And where is my dang cat— Sleeping in his damn bed!!! Just oblivious to what is going on! Now I don’t want to hurt the poor lizard....I just want the damn thing out of my house! I’m deathly afraid of them even though I know they are harmless. I know it will die in here if I can’t get him out, but the damn thing ran behind my stove and I can’t get to it. I got the broom trying to scare it out, but I can’t see it and not even sure it’s still back there. It could be ANYWHERE!!! 😩

How the hell am I gonna sleep tonight!!!—? And where is my cat? Still sleeping!!! He needs to be on guard!!!

😆

Try to remember all the other examples that suggest otherwise.
