Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

          I went through the period where I envied others my age who were working pt at best, not in school (or didn't care as much), and just having fun. I was overwhelmed by the pressure to do well and get into a good grad program, etc...
          I thought about what it would be like not to have to think about your future that way and just to get a job after BA, so at least when you're finished at 5pm, you can leave and leave work behind you. Academics doesn't work that way.
          This didn't last too long though. I decided that I loved what I was doing and even though it meant more sacrifice now, I would be better off and happier later.

          Others who have all that, would/are probably envious of you.
          Think about what you like about your career. Would you be willing to give that up for a few more weekend movies?

            hm - Nune - you are still very young and have a whole lifetime ahead of you. Do not feel at all constrained. If you feel that your life is not what you want it right now - make a change - I mean what real obligations do you have now (besides paying off that new car - congrats BTW! - [and I do hope you got a 5 speed to really have fun with it!]). I understand your dilema - though I have ussually always felt fairly balanced with work & play - but I made it a point to do so - as when I was young I did go through a period of working way too hard. And its when you have a family and real obligations that you will feel constrained and unable to make choices but feel locked into a pattern - so by all means do the fun stuff now!

              i was reading up on it since i thought there might be some information i could use... and i found out that YES! in fact i am suffering from this... usually its from starting your career too soon and being in the middle of going up the company ladder, etc... and all of sudden you realize you are too young to be there because everyone else is 30 years older then you. so i started to panic... i dont know if its good or bad... i dont know when i'll get married or if i will have children... it seems as though i should've waited and had more fun before i ventured into this...

              AND i totally envy those that have the ability to go on vacations, go to movies on the weekend, etc... beacuse i cant i have deadlines, bosses, executive lunches, a s s kissing, budgeting, planning, talking, presenting, analyzing, preparing, dressing up, dressing down, flying to another state "just to be nice", pushing people to finish their work so you can finish yours, being bossy (although i like that), being bosses around (HATE IT!), have back pain from sitting in front of the computer too long, etc... my head HURTS!

              What do you think? do you think you are lucky that you have time to be young?

              my biological age is 24 my mental age at work is 45 and my mental age with friends is 12... you see how it can f*ck with you...

                I expect, based on family and medical history, to live a very long time, so I never worried about rushing into life. Still, provided you don't die or go insane along the way, you'll have the last laugh when you retire younger than the people you envy now. Sounds to me like you just chose the wrong job. Who on earth wants to sit around staring at a computer for 8 hours a day (I mean, besides Anonymouse)?

                  To deal with your stress: Why don't you try weekly massage, pilates, yoga? You can even meditate on your own whenever you feel the need.

                  You are happy with your life, arent you? You dont need any major changes. Just find a good way to release stress. You MUST have time for THAT, and if you dont - make some. Its important.
