I work in a psych ward and 2 of my guys have been seriously assaulted this week. One ended up in hospital with a concussion after getting hit in the head with a piece of furniture. A female nurse got dragged through the ward courtyard by her hair. My hands are covered in cuts and bruises because I saw red over this and ended up laying into the dude. Another guy got suspended without pay for doing the same thing for the same reason last week. I can't stop drinking

Unless there's some unheard-of benign tumor that spreads to other organs, my mom has Stage IV pancreatic cancer. Yes, that is a mix of denial and hope that I'm expressing.

Observing this filth unsettles me
My day started with my stepping on a metal lunchbox video game promo thing that apparently had grown a sharp edge. Mildly :nms:



I've been walking around on it all day with it being mildly irritating, and this was the first time I actually sat down to look at it. Ow. I remember it slicing into my foot and I could tell it was a deep cut, but it stopped bleeding reasonably fast so I figured it couldn't be that bad. I was incorrect.

My boss has been putting in a bunch of overtime and can't handle it, so she's going completely mental and treated everyone like poo poo today. Then my coworker broke her arm. Then I got trapped in a freight elevator.

Edit: My coworker broke her own arm, not the boss's. Although to be fair, I'm sure she was tempted at some point.

Jesus, I am so very loving sorry. My thoughts are with you.

Mine was yesterday, but it spilled over. Small potatoes compared to the above, but I was lying in bed last night crying over my cat who died in December. It may seem like a long time ago but she was my best bud for 18 years. As I was just starting to really get into it, my boyfriend of 3 months texted (yeah) to tell me he wanted to call things off. I'm fine with ending things--wasn't super into him anyway--but now I'm still crying and I can't decide if I'm still sad over my cat (never got to that good cry), or if there's some of the dumping in there too.

Our first cat passed away last Monday of a sudden massive stroke a the age of 12. I brought him home almost immediately after we bought our first house. My husband and I were both extremely attached and it was loving devastating. He died in my arms while my husband was driving us to the vet. This has been one of the hardest weeks for both of us. I've been trying to act normal but my heart still hurts a lot.

Hey, my phone got shut off today, it was the only thing anyone in my family would help me with, and I wake up to no happy birthday messages, text someone to see what's up, and find out my mom turned my phone off.

Also that pneumonia is a bitch, I had it forever and it definitely is the worst.

Aw drat, that's awful to hear. I remember finding his rendition of the horse race from Ocarina of Time and my mind still boggles at how he could embellish so much from an simplified piece of sheet music.

I'm not TMDTN obviously but in my case I still have a smart phone. I work 2 jobs, a lot of homeless people have jobs :shrug:. If they can't afford a phone bill a lot of people will still have a phone, or tablet, maybe an old laptop even and use it on WiFi only. The library is also a thing that exists and at least where I live you can get one at sign up, they just place certain restrictions on it(can only rent x amount of books at a time) but that still gets you computer access.

As for what made my day lovely today: I cut my foot pretty bad the other day and it was finally feeling betterish. I was staying over at a friend's house, we got drunk, etc. Wake up this morning to get ready at work, slip on something in the hallway. Nbd probably some water from the shower my sleepy brain said. He wakes up, also slips. Actually thinks to check out what it is.

It's vomit. His vomit. Apparently he remembers vomiting but thought he made it to the toilet. He was incorrect. The foot I slid in that mess in? The cut one. Foot is killing me now.

For the past two weeks or so, I've been house-sitting my dad's house (the house I grew up in) while he was away. In practice, it meant that me and my partner could move in for two weeks and do all the stuff my dad is OCD over. He got home tonight while me and my partner were out having dinner.

The result? Like most things that involve my dad when he's not over my shoulder telling me how he wants it done, he decides to ignore all the stuff he told me to do that I did fine, focusing on the few things here and there that I didn't do His Way, or didn't do because (surprise, surprise), he wasn't around to ask questions about.

It hurts more because it's all super low-importance poo poo. He bitched at me about leaving plates and utensils in the sink, when its because I started a full load earlier. He complained that I didn't call his handyman friend to look at the sump pump that was operating a shade louder than I remember, even after telling him that I checked it constantly to see if something had gone wrong (spoiler alert: nope). He complained about the pile of plastic bags I left on the corner of the kitchen, when said bags were mostly the stuff I bought to replace all the food we had eaten, even though he had told us previously he didn't mind if we didn't.

I don't think that's legal. Are you on 1 payroll or 2?

I have to take public transportation because my wife needs the car. It wouldn't be such a bad thing but it means wrangling a 2 year old on foot for a few miles.

2 payrolls. Different people pay me for the 2 different jobs. Nice guy pays one, cheap rear end in a top hat pays the other.

Also cheap rear end in a top hat takes $.60 out of every hour for "meals" so we're technically getting less than minimum wage. Yes I am going to report him to the city and/or state and/or govt.

Update: I ordered an urn. I had to call to change it from 3-5 day shipping to 2 day shipping and I was friendly and laughing on the phone with the lady (the kind retail people do, fake friendly--I can't help it after working retail for so long) and I think the lady thought I was crazy based on her tone of voice.

After having this problem kicked for nearly a year, my diabetic cat started peeing outside the litter box again this weekend, in the room adjacent to where we keep it. My dad, who hates the little guy, discovered a new spot today, so I got yelled at. We have another cat, so I can't be completely sure it was the same one.

Christ, that sucks, man.

For content, my brother told me and my partner that he was coming over for 4th of July dinner. Communication wires were crossed, and it was actually him and a few of his board-game playing buddies coming over. So instead of a short dinner and maybe hanging out for a bit, it was playing some overly-complex and overly-long board game I didn't understand, with people I didn't know, while trying to watch something I had wanted to watch. To make matters worse, I've had a pain in my eye all day because something major got stuck in my eye early in the morning, so I've been dealing with the residual pain due to God-knows-what on my eye all day.
