Adulting Is Hard! Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Needs A Vacation From Work

[rightwinger]

no one is outraged, just pointing out another foolish statement from this ignorant young girl who finds herself in an environment that she has no idea how to deal with.

What was foolish was conservatives wetting themselves because she said she was taking time off

who was pissing their pants over this? only you from what I have seen.

If AOC is the future of your dem party, then your party is dead.

I have yet to start an AOC thread

Outraged Conservatives seem to start several a day

Me too. All I've done is knock down the fallacious folderol they set up for us like so many bowling pins.

And invariably the whining butthurt threads are started and populated by posters nowhere remotely near her district or even her region of the country. Which speaks volumes about controlfreakism. I have yet to see one that wasn't.

I welcome AOC to the Democratic Party
She is an outsider and a welcome voice reminding us that Government is about the people

The whole "drain the swamp" song and dance got tossed out the window wid a quickness, didn't it. The same DTS dorks were in here praising the swamp Democrat she ousted. Which shows us how deeply they were committed. Hypocrites.

as I just said, I am glad that the DNC and the left wing media has chosen her as their standard bearer. She helps the GOP with each new foolish statement.

Glad to have her

AOC advocates “Medicare for all”
Republicans advocate “Medicare for none”

“I’m taking a few days to take care of myself before what is sure to be an eventful term. For working people, immigrants, & the poor, self-care is political — not because we want it to be, but bc of the inevitable shaming of someone doing a face mask while financially stressed. So I’ve decided to take others along with me on IG as I learn what self-care even means and why it’s important.”


You don't say! Everyone of you working slobs, call in to your boss and let him know you are taking time off because SELF CARE IS POLITICAL!

Stock up on popcorn and head desk protection, folks. Congress in 2019 is in for one helluva bumpy ride!

what the hell is the face mask? is she talking about skin care? please tell me thats not it

 

[Pogo]

Who started this thread, complete with the idea of "vacation" that he pulled out of his ass?

Hint -- he lives a continent away from her district.

so its not a vacation? is time off not a vacation? is it his choice of words that have you libs raving like jackasses with a hot poker up their ass?

Where does she say anything about "time off"?

And what would it be "time off" from, considering she doesn't get sworn in until next month?

Hm?

I guess time off from her only previous job as a bartender. she can shake up a martini, so lets make her a congresswoman? WTF?

Not an answer, is it.

I don't infer that she's still working as a bartender --- she only mentions going around meeting constituents --- but so the fuck what if she does? Is she supposed to be a connected attorney-type? You want to dictate what she can do with her employment now? And you're sitting here talking "thumbs"?

And wtf does a Rep in Queens have to do with anybody in Louisiana in the first place? Geography much?

she has nothing to do with me, or you. But she has become the dem's media darling. So any discussion of her is the direct result of her actions and words and the media's fascination with her.

Personally, I find it amusing as you dems scramble to try to cover for her. That's all this is about, relax.

Once AGAIN I'm not a "dem" whatever that might be. I'm just knocking down the low-hanging fruit bowling pins y'all line up for me begging to be knocked down.

I don't know jackwagon about her programs, and I don't need to. All I need is to read the cockamamie butthurt of these weeping and gnashing of teeth threads wetting their pants over a Congressional Rep thousands of miles away from the whiners who isn't even in the office yet. Once AGAIN, this thread being a prime example --- a wag three thousand miles away wailing and weeping about a "vacation" he just made up.

Speaking of which it would seem the OP has taken his own vacation once his bogus thread was busted.

 

[Papageorgio]

Only in the US do people get mocked for taking vacation.

Do you never take time off work?

It is a rarity,

You've gotta stop letting folks move in to your head.

Unless you just aren't using it for anything else.

Hilarious how you Leftards are so desperate to have people stop talking about your new superstar. It’s almost as if she needs protection....

Oh, no. You go ahead and whine all you want. I won't stop you, and it doesn't bother me. It's hilarious though.

It is entertaining, I like watching this and those who whine about Trump, they are all so entertaining. The extreme left and right and their obsessions.

I'm still waiting to find out what "binkie" is. Sounds like part of that fast food. I'm guessing it comes from Dunkin' Donuts.

No one mocks politicians for taking vacation more then Dims, dumbass. Do you watch the fake news blathering about Trump's golf outings? Remember the way they hounded Bush?

Reminding Trump about his frequent Obama golf criticisms is well warranted

as are reminders of Clintons trips to juvenile sex fantasy island.

Oh? When were they? Got links?

AOC supports

Medicare for all
Free and low cost college education
A basic right to housing
Jobs guarantees
Immigration reform

Things that enrage conservatives

She's talking about taking time to go see the trolley tracks in Wisconsin. After all it is December, time for political party conventions.

 

[danielpalos]

Not before I actually started the job, no.

Many people take time off before starting a new job because they know it will be a while before they can take off

your attempts at defending this ignorant child are admirable, but nothing you say will counter her foolish ignorant childish remarks or her obvious lack of understanding of economics, the US government, or life in general.

please continue to back her, she is the best thing for the GOP since crooked Hillary.

the right wing is worse.

 

[Cecilie1200]

Yeah, I don't know what kind of job you had, but some of us have jobs that involve constant workflow. It's not a matter of "needing more time to do it". It's a matter of every day brings in new stuff; therefore, if I am not there that day to deal with it, it's still waiting for me the next day, along with THAT day's stuff.

And I don't work more than 40 hours a week. I just need to actually be present for that 40.

You should also keep in mind that, as I said, before I got here it took three people to do what I now do all by myself.

I am a Statistician, my job is a constant flow of projects for clients. Each project is separate and distinct and has it own timeline and parameters. Some are simply about data, some are data and analysis and some throw in making recommendations based off of the data and the analysis.

I never do not have multiple projects happening at the same time. Some are projects I am the lead for, others are projects I am a team member on.

Each project last from around a month to 6 months depending on the size and scope.

My performance is judged by timeliness, accuracy and completeness of the data and the analysis.

I'm an administrative assistant for a legal transcription company. Every single weekday, the client for whom I am responsible has six different courts running, and the court reporters upload the entire day's audio every evening, as well as log notes, docket calendars, etc. I come in in the morning and process all of the uploads from all six reporters the previous day (16+ hours of audio a day), then process and verify all of the transcript orders put in by the client from that audio, then assign the transcription jobs to our various transcribers and proofreaders. Once a transcript has been produced, it is also my job to check each one over to make sure everything is correct before sending it to the printer. While I'm doing all that, THAT day's uploads and orders are trickling in for me to process. Also, it is my responsibility to communicate with the transcribers and proofers, answering any questions or emergencies that come up, re-assigning jobs because someone's cat has to go to the vet (yes, I have really gotten that excuse), and communicate with the reporters to let them know there are problems with their work product, etc.

So literally, my job is a day-to-day workflow thing. If I miss a day, then either someone else is going to have to find time to process 16+ hours of audio and approximately 120 transcript orders, plus responding to emergencies, OR it's all going to be waiting there for me the next day in addition to THAT day's 16 hours of audio and 120 transcript orders, AND the assigned transcripts that got stopped because of an emergency are now late to the client, who is now charging us a fee for being late.

Basically, I miss days when my body literally is not available to sit up in a computer chair. That's it.

Not to be rude, but that sounds terrible.

I have had a couple jobs that way, will never go back to that again.

It was one of the main driving forces behind me getting my Masters.

Flexibility is key for me right now, I gave up money for that.

I don't doubt that my job sounds terrible to most people. That's one of the reasons someone like me is so valuable to employers: because this sort of thing HAS to be done, and I am both amazing at it and enjoy doing it.

By the same token, YOUR job would not be at all appealing to ME. Takes many different kind of people to make the world work. Most jobs which are considered plum positions by the majority of people would be the Fifth Circle of Hell to me, so there you go.

Stability, co-workers who I can like and who like and appreciate me in return, and a vast indifference to time clocks are all important to me. I could take my quirky, near-autistic-level organizational talents and OCD to almost any company and make at least $5-6 an hour more, but I would dread going to work every day.

And again, the job of such a Rep is to represent her constituents --- not to "help" or "hurt" some political party.

Good GODS man.

I agree with your statement about representing constituents. But its the media that keeps putting her out, not us. We don't give a shit about who some far left morons in NY send to congress.
