i've laid my scumbaggery to rest. i'm trying to use my finely tuned skills to get ahead professionally now. i've grown so much
but i feel you on that "say anything", no john cusack. even when i've been called out on it by exes/j.o.'s i will never admit defeat. it would get to a point where i know they'd be like "NOBODY can verbally squirm this much yet stand so strong..." and they'd either get tired and wanna believe me or just actually believe me

so

you've gotten out of work on a saturday morning, i got out of a work contract, as in i didnt have to work there anymore and was free to do whatever, due to unnervingly complex family issues
i was not above skewing stories that happened to friends to have them happen to immediate family, or even say someone died. the way i see it, when you push employees to the point of misery, they're liable and essentially permitted to do wild shyt like that. let that be a lesson for anyone in any type of management position.
i know this frame of mind all too well
