Being the "I" in the Pixar Logo and more...

This very short POV video shows the full set of emotions; the fear, pain and loss of being the I in Pixar at the beginning of any Pixar film. It must be a sad, horrible life. You know that lamp is coming, and it wants what you have. And you're just a letter so you can't do anything about it.

Dad Leaves Delivery Room Cause Fiancée Shouts Ex's Name

Man, oh man, it sounds like this uncomfortable situation is the manifestation of the guy's fiancée clearly not being over her ex. Maybe they rushed into things as well, in terms of having a baby after dating for eight months. That being said, the folks in the comments section seem to be in collective agreement that this new dad wasn't in the wrong for his decision to leave the delivery room.

Text - AITA For walking out of the delivery room while my fiancé was giving birth? Not the A-hole This happened two weeks ago, my 28M fianće 26F and I just had a baby boy and it's been difficult already without her being upset with me after what happened. I met her at a bar I used to hang out with my friends at, we dated for 8 months, and I decided to propose when she told me she was pregnant and wanted to have the baby, we both agreed on getting married after our baby is born, She was introduce

2.

Text - I learned that she was engaged to her late fiancé for 4 years but he got sick and passed away at a young age, She told me she had recurrent dreams about him, I wasn't upset because no one controls what they see in their dreams, but sometimes she mumbles his name and visits his grave on his birthdays and still keeps their rings in our house. When she went into labor, I drove to the hospital to be with her since she expressed to me how terrified she was after talking to her group of moms wh

Text - Her labor lasted longer than expected, her mom arrived when she was taken to the delivery room, she was feeling so much stress and even cried which made it more difficult, I tried to reassure her and told her to think about are baby and just focus on that, She suddenly started screaming, first she yelled her deceased dad's name, then let go of my hand and started yelling out her deceased fiancé's name and just continued to yell that name at the top of her lungs, I was shocked I didn't kno

Text - She gave birth and her mom walked up to me to give me the news, I was happy my son was finally born, I went in to see them both for a short time before he was taken. My fiancé returned home and started berating me for walking out on her like that and told me that what I did was unacceptable, I told her why but she completely avoided this and tried to say That it didn't matter and that I was being ridiculous while she was feeling pain, we argued about it and she brought up that she called

She has the unmitigated gall to be upset at you and has taken no responsibility for what she did/said. OP, you need to slow your roll on the wedding. Your fiance is not over her ex. At best you are a place holder. At worst, a sperm donor. You had no way of knowing before the delivery date that she was this damaged. You know now. Tread

It's an overwhelming feeling, under the circumstances it's understandable that were pushed over the limit. As for everything else, I'm getting a really, really bad feeling about this relationship. The fact that she is trying to exercise this much control at this point in the relationship. It's possible that you are being taken for a ride here. I think you should speak to

Text - NTA but you guys seriously need to not get married... She clearly is still grieving her late fiance, which is completely understandable (though the way she spoke to you about it was not appropriate or kind), and I don't get the sense from your post that you actually want to marry her at all, or even love her for that matter. That's ok. You're not a bad person for not being in love with or wanting to marry the girlfriend you happened to knock up early on in the relationship. And it's ok fo

When a partner dies, you forget about all the things they did that annoyed you, and focus on everything that was great about them. People who are here, living and breathing have faults and are imperfect. There's no comparison. You have a child together, so some couple's therapy is in order. It would probably be helpful for the two of you to talk this out. And it is in your child's best interest if this rela

Tumblr Thread: Cultures Clash Over The Size Of The UK

People on the internet are finding something new to argue about every day. This time though, we've got a very serious matter at hand; we're talking about cultures clashing over the size of the UK. It's key to note that distance isn't everything. Check out some more gold from Tumblr with this post about the banana-fixated cat.

Toxic Boss Drives Employees To Their Breaking Point

In the early 2000's I was working at a Graphics and T- Shirt printing shop in a major college town in the Midwest. I was a graphic design major and it just made sense for me to be involved in screen printing and design. The owner of the company was a very socially awkward dude that went to the university an

Text - around after graduation to make his money. He had deep roots in the community, was on several alumni boards, etc... as such he had many large contracts with universities in the same athletic conference (one of the largest in the nation) as our college. This meant we spent most of our day rehashing old sports designs to meet new criteria. A lot of it was event based, meaning if a certain team won a certain game and there needed to be a shirt made to commemorate it, I was on call to do that

Text - Now (we'll call him) Ron wasn't a cheery guy. In fact I don't think l'd ever seen him smile. But as of late he had been getting more bold with his three designers (myself, Tim, and Carla, who was the art director). He would venture up into the art room and hover while we worked. He evidently didn't like what he saw because he made me take my inspiration board down because it was "clutter". The hovering and critiquing didn't sit well with us, but whatever, it's his business. Then, he hires

He's yelling that she was costing him money because designs were sent back for revisions or took too long or just plain weren't good. As we were all very competent designers and worked under ridiculous deadlines all the time, it kinda confused us. Regardless, Tim and I both liked Carla as a boss and di

Good for her we thought. Fast forward about a month.

He became even more pushy and rude and started to come unhinged. I almost hit him o

Every year he rented an 18 wheeler with a 4- color process press in the back of it to take to Omaha. The deposit was $10k and like another $10k for the full rental. We'd watch the games and start getting the designs ready as soon as it was apparent a team was going to win. We printed the shirts right there on the spot and had them hot off

Tumblr Post: Barista Handles Trickster Customer

(which is a completely unhinged response. like just complete Mad Hatter nonsense)

Text - anyway this lady gets really uncomfortable and of the five people (me, him, her, the other checker, and the customer at the other register) who were now sucked into the uncomfortable silence, i decided that i should alleviate the tension by saying "you can't wait for a watch; you don't have the time" and then he said "oh, quick girl!", gave me that pen, got out of line, and left without ordering anything patron-saint-of-smart-asses You pleased a mad fae trickster

Manager Won't Make Customers Leave, Customer Stays Until 5 AM

Anyone who's worked retail knows that there are some infuriating customers out there, and sometimes they need a push in the right direction. This manager had it in their head that no one should be told to leave at 2 am, so this employee made a point to show just how bad of an idea that can be. It got results. For more customer stories, here are bold and mistaken customers who were at the wrong store.

The Saga of A Cat Getting Itself Adopted

This cat was absolutely determined to find a new home, and she found it in someone who was absolutely down to have a new cat.

Quick Tumblr Thread On Banana-Fixated Cat

Animals have their moments, like when farmers are absolutely perplexed by their animals. Sometimes dogs stare down hallways or at corners, and we can only hope that they're not staring at ghosts. In this case it's just one cat and one set of bananas. Bananas are a pretty regular thing, so we'd assume the cat just knows to like em. For some extra tumblr stuff, here are some random funny tumblr gems to fill those pockets.

1.

Cat - matzahball I bought a bunch of bananas and l've caught Cleo staring at them every day since

2.

Cat - matzahball Update: I took the last one and now she wants to know where her bananas went

3.

Cat - anxious-depressed-potato How do you know that she doesn't just really love that bowl? matzahball Because when we leave the bananas on the table without the bowl she stares at them with just as much love!!! She ONLY looks at the empty bowl right after we remove the last banana. Then she's no longer interested

Twitter Thread: The Time Ruth Bader Ginsberg Talked Smack

Following the passing of Ruth Bader Ginsberg, people were compelled to tell stories of the supreme court justice's impact and legacy. In this instance we have a guy sharing his time working with the justices in a fantasy baseball league. The thought of having a petty fantasy league moment in such an official setting is surreal.

Misfortune Monday: The Many Flavors of Chaos

It's not hard to come up with ways that things could go wrong. The world is unpredictable. You could find a dangerous animal somewhere you'd rather not want to. You could get totally covered in paint during an accident. You could spill a whole bunch of eggs or a boulder could crush your car. As many flavors of failure and chaos there seem to be, life just keeps inventing more.

VP Pulls Rank and Screws Employee, Gets Canned by Cool CEO

It seems like a rare moment when a higher up at the company doesn't get rewarded for going over the little guy's head and absolutely messing everything up. For pretty much the opposite side of things, here's a satisfying story of an incompetent boss who fired the employee ant the beginning of a meeting, then learned a lesson.

Text - Posted by u/PJExpat 5 hours ago "No one is above the rules, and I mean no one call me if he pulls rank" oc L I used to work for a marketing company that serviced small and medium-sized businesses across America. It was a multi-billion dollar revenue company. The CEO was a true rags to riches story. He joined the company right after he got out of jail in his early 20s for a small drug charge and worked his way up over 20 years to eventually become the CEO of the company. The CEO strongly b

Text - He would often say, without sales we don't have the revenue to pay your salaries Without customer service customers will drop us faster then we can bill them Without collection reps we'd lose too many accounts due to non-payment And without sales managers to hold it all together we'd fall аpart And he had a rule EVERY SINGLE EXECUTIVE team member would spend 1 full week of each quarter in the field with a Sales Manager, Customer Service Rep, Collections Rep, or Sales rep. In addition when

Text - Text - CEO: PJ I picked you cause when I was in the field with you, you seemed like the kinda guy that wouldn't be bullied or let someone run all over you Me: Ok, well thank you CEO: This VP is new to the company, and the last time he went in the field he pulled rank. I've told him not to pull rank again, and if he does I want you to call me as soon as you can. PJ: I understand CEO: Thank you The VP meets me up, honestly for the first two days everything was fine. However on the 3rd day I

Text - Text - Now I told the VP what would happen, that it would be a long sales call, and a difficult high tense one. But to let me handle it, I've dealt with the client quite a bit and was well prepared. Now this meeting with the client lasted 2 1/2 hours but I'll get to the point. The client wanted a discount and was threatening to go to our competitor, he wouldn't. That's when the VP spoke up and said "I'm the VP and I'll personally give you a 15% discount on your current plan if you agree t

Text - Text - I then called my CEO, he saw the name pop up on my cars bluetooth CEO answered CEO: PJ, how are you doing? PJ: The VP pulled rank on me and gave my customer a 17.5% discount on his current plan right as I was about to close him for more money CEO: That's not right, where is the VP? PJ: Your on speaker, he can hear you CEO: Excellent, hey VP VP: Yes sir CEO: Tell me what happend VP: Told his side of the story, which he admitted the truth but also admitted to pulling rank and giving

Text - Text - CEO: Ok, thanks for your honesty. Your fired. VP: Excuse me? CEO: Your fired, you have a 1 yr probation clause your done you don't pull rank when in the field VP: You can't do this CEO: I just did, you are to get on a plane come back to your office and clean it out, PJ take Mr. VP back to his hotel and drop him off. PJ: Sure, no problem And for the next 20 minutes I had an awkward car ride back to my former VPs hotel. Later in a all hands on meeting, the CEO made sure to talk about

Text - Side Story on this CEO The company had a data plan, which gave us 4G on our Ipads, Phones, and Laptops. Well the company changed the service plan, and our data plan went down to ONLY our phones and we had to hotspot off that. They said this move would save us $80,000 a month (we had like 4,000~ employees in the field) Well 2 months later we had a conference (we had 3 conferences a year) and after the conference, everyone went to the hotel bar. That's when I approached my CEO with another

Text - The CIO was there and said "CIO, your going to XYZ area and you will be riding with PJ, pay attention to how he uses his 4G data and if you think we should go back to the old plan where all devices had 4G" The CIO went into the field with me, on the 3rd day at breakfast he said "Last night I called the CEO" and I said "yea?" and he said "I made a recommendation that we go back to our old data plan and ensure all your devices have 4G data, its obviously creating productivity issues and whe
