I may resign from work tomorrow... because of argument (I started, but not instigated) and because I don't like it there. I'm a noob there so I don't have much leverage, and I know that I do not have a very strong position on the job market having been without for too long before. Not happy now.

My sister that lives with me is in one of her manic periods (she's bi-polar), and is very aggressive and in general a unsympathetic person. She hauls some very personal insults as a matter of routine. She knows exactly which of my strings to pluck to hurt me the hardest and she does not care.

My mom and sister are probably going to freak out (even more) at me when/if they hear I have quit my job.

Someone on another big board called me out that I was writing incorrect info, which I probably was... but he called me a deliberate liar .. and he is a moderator, so he has probably got the moderation team backing him up. I don't need more conflict in my life right no and I don't want to lose being on that site. Yet, I feel I must stand up for myself, but I don't have the energy.

Well what would happen if you stayed at your job? Was the argument about something important? like was it big? If you have to support your family, don't quit just because you have to. If you sort out your differences, you will feel better because of it, and it will make your experience there better. You may still not like it, but it gives you more time to search for a new job, rather than doing it when you aren't making money.

I'm sorry to hear about your sister. Do you get an allowance to look after her? Or any support at all?

Again, if you stand up for yourself, you will have a better experience. Don't do a "Thanks for your input" because nobody likes that. If you disappear after someone calls you out, it makes you look worse. I know you may not have the energy for it, but some things you have to go that extra mile for.

"not liking it there" at the workplace is all too common.

I would be delighted to find myself in a new position.

Perhaps you should plan a more gradual transition. If you can enhance your position, you might gain a bit of leverage.

I have a brother who at a young age was diagnosed with "Oppositional Defiance Disorder". Later in life this ended up being Bi-Polar with signs of schizophrenia. He is not a good person, and not because of his mental problems, because even properly medicated he is a complete *******. So, I can appreciate the struggles you have with your sister. You are a better person than I since you are still there, willing to support her. I mostly choose to not interact with my brother.

As for the work thing, if you feel you were on the right side of the argument, allow the situation to play out. If you were right, and acted with professionalism you will likely come out well in the long run. If you feel like you may have been wrong, you should apologize. No need to burn bridges. I get into arguments at work with some frequency. Sometimes I want to leave, but dealing with the situation and learning from it is almost always the right thing (for me anyway).

Good luck!

OSX is bothering the crap out of me. 

First it was opening a new window every time I tried to open a folder in "finder" (actually really terrible for finding things btw).
Then I had to ask it to show me my Documents and Music folders?? Why is everything so hidden?? wtf
Now I find out that I can't change the scrolling behavior, so I just need to get used to over-shooting everything because it thinks that scrolling at mach speed is a necessary thing to do if the item I need isn't two clicks down.
And while typing this I found out that pushing 'End' while in a text box sends me to the end of the page...yeah, let's just ignore the contextualization of that command, that's no problem.

Ugh.

All I wanted to do was transfer my iTunes library (not even going to start ranting about that process) so I could backup my phone and finally have a working phone.  But no, I get to fight with Apple for two hours and still not accomplish anything remotely close to what I attempted.

Oh and one last stupid thing I just thought of, because I typed enough that it started scrolling.
Why would you ever make a default setting that allows a user to copy something to a folder with a huge gap between items that pushes the copied items below the visible portion, and then hide the scrollbar??  I'm going to have to scroll down in every window now, to search for hidden things I may miss.  Whyyyyyyyyy

You probably have a more recent version than me, hence the scrolling problems, but a couple of comments ...

There's probably en option to open directories in the same window, but I just use the triple view all the time (each column is a folder - I don't know what it's called, I'd have to screen shot it tonight).

Documents and Music is hidden in recent versions of OSX, no idea why, that is silly, although I think Apple are trying to get you to use the app to locate the files, like on iOS.

Just use ^E to move to the end of a field, or Cmd-right arrow.  Different, but you get used to it, especially ^E if you have HHKB

OSX is bothering the crap out of me. First it was opening a new window every time I tried to open a folder in "finder" (actually really terrible for finding things btw).

The Finder has two modes, a “spatial Finder” mode which is similar to the old Mac OS, and a “browser” mode which is similar to Windows Explorer. If you show the toolbar (command + option + T), you’ll get the browser-style Finder.

Then I had to ask it to show me my Documents and Music folders?? Why is everything so hidden?? wtf

Can you explain what you mean? These should just be folders in your user folder. My personal experience is that everything is much less hidden in OS X than Windows 95+. Unfortunately OS X is getting a bit worse on this score in the past 3–5 years. Still nowhere close to the amount of confusing hidden **** Windows has though (registry settings, programs that won’t work unless they’re in the right directory, piles of garbage copied all over the machine when you install programs, the buried Program Files directory and then multiple shortcuts stuck in the taskbar and start menu and desktop, etc. etc.).

Now I find out that I can't change the scrolling behavior, so I just need to get used to over-shooting everything because it thinks that scrolling at mach speed is a necessary thing to do if the item I need isn't two clicks down.

Scroll speed is in system preferences. I’m guessing you are using a standard Windows-oriented mouse rather than an Apple mouse or trackpad? Apple input devices have had a scroll ball or (multi)touch input for many years now which supports pixel-by-pixel scrolling. Unfortunately, Windows only supports scrolling in large discrete chunks, and therefore mouse vendors are stuck making terrible scroll wheels. It’s moronic. One of those places where the USB spec has awful limitations. As far as I know Apple’s pixel-precision scroll is in their own USB extensions, so I’m not sure if anyone else can properly implement it. Analog inputs on modern computers are in general a ****ing mess these days. Very frustrating for people trying to build custom hardware or custom firmware for their devices.

And while typing this I found out that pushing 'End' while in a text box sends me to the end of the page...yeah, let's just ignore the contextualization of that command, that's no problem.

This is how Mac OS has behaved since like 1990. If you want the Windows behavior instead, it’s easy to reconfigure.

Here are the Mac default shortcuts for text boxes from circa 2006, but they’re mostly the same today: http://www.hcs.harvard.edu/~jrus/site/system-bindings.html

The Mac shortcuts to move to the end of the current line are command + right arrow or control + E.

Why would you ever make a default setting that allows a user to copy something to a folder with a huge gap between items that pushes the copied items below the visible portion, and then hide the scrollbar??

Hiding the scrollbar is idiotic, and whoever at Apple made that the default is a jerk. You should twiddle the config setting to make scrollbars always visible.

Hmm.  Looks like I eventually got it to the mode I wanted, but it seems very strange to me that you can change the behavior so drastically by choosing a different "View" option - by my definition, a View change should not change the behavior, but rather the...view... Anyway, that seems to be taken care of.

They are folders in my user folder.  The stupid part is that if I open Finder, the default view does not show me my user folder.  I had to do some digging to find out how to get to my user folder, and then add it to "Favorites".  I'm sure this is another case of user error, there might be an easier way, but it is not at all intuitive.  The default view shows the usual Downloads, etc, but no user folder.  :-/

Analog inputs on modern computers are in general a ****ing mess these days. Very frustrating for people trying to build custom hardware or custom firmware for their devices.

I saw the settings for scroll speed, but I'm looking to prevent the insane acceleration that is built in.  If I go one click it scrolls half a line, two or three clicks will go the "expected" 6 lines or so, but any more than that will shoot me halfway down the page.    All I want is linear scrolling...    After searching online, I found one possible solution - a $20 program to fix the behavior.  :|

Good to know there's an option.  To be honest, I had kind of given up on even checking for options at this point...

What pisses me off is people in the UK who are not only xenophobic, but then push that on to others. The UK is one of the best places to possibly live on this ****hole planet, it has free healthcare, free education that's on a decent level, its amazingly multi-cultural, it's native language is 'the' international language and on its boarders are some of the most culturally diverse and historic places on the planet.

Yet every ****ing time anyone mentions the EU or Assylum Seekers, all you get is the worst most appalling mixture of racism and xenophobiaism you're ever likely to hear. It makes me so angry.
