My new appliances were delivered too early today. I had planned it all but when they arrived I was alone with my terrified of strangers barky bitch and they refused to go in the flat alone.

I got a really deep cut on my foot last night and I was supposed to go hiking tonight and all day tomorrow. Still going but will have to pick a shorter trail.

Yesterday, with less than 15 minutes left in my shift, I was told by a coworker that the boss decided to go on vacation for a week and a half. We're short-staffed when he's in the office, and now we're down to me and two other guys, one of whom is always out in the field and the other is brand new still learning the ropes. Now I'm struggling to cover tickets when I should have the day off and knowing that the coming week is going to be hell. And remembering that this is pretty much my own fault for not getting another job the first couple times this happened.

I wanted to hike today but it was raining and I never left my house except to go to the store, which made me soaked. I hosed up the thing I was cooking. My cat scratched me for the first time ever, I was bleeding all over the place.

Bit of a cross-post from the FWP thread, but whatever, it made for a lovely weekend+: I got sick with something on thursday night. I guess the best diagnosis would be flu-like symptoms: body aches, headaches, lack of appetite, general malaise, close-to-but-not-really a fever (99.5f), signs of dehydration despite hydrating the poo poo out of myself, alternating sense of burning heat or chills. So I had to take off work on Friday, spending most of the day asleep. Same with today, with most of my symptoms going away. But hey, it's the weekend, and it'll all be cleared up by Sun/Mon, right? Sure, except for the fact that starting from my hairline down (in rapid downward progression), I'm getting these little red dots (a rash, I suppose) all over my face. So now I'm gonna have to basically stay inside for another day, and maybe call off on Monday if it still happens. Or see a doctor and have him roll his eyes and say that it's nothing. Editing to add: went to an emergency clinic since it's Sunday, dude looked at my increasingly rapid facial rash for a bit, wrote copious notes, and suggested taking Claritin and saying it should go away in a few days. I'm not confident simply because it seemed he had the same what-the-hell-is-this look on his face that I did trying to Google something that looked like what I have.

I went for a hike with a friend, and the road to access it was severely washboarded and the bumpiness hosed up her car and we ended up driving for almost 5 hours at an average of 28mph on highways while stuck in second gear. We went to her parents house and switched vehicles there before driving another hour to get home. Normal time from trailhead to home is less than 2 hours, 2 hours to her parents place.

A neighbor who had moved out I thought to a different building nearby because I saw her in her wheelchair down the street apparently didn't actually love, she was was kicked out because her landlord wouldn't accept her section 8. She's homeless. And the city is closing down the camp where the homeless people stay in a few weeks for "reasons." This is serious bullshit. One day living in a nice apartment, next day out on the street. And the place you're living in is going to be torn down. And all the shelters are closing down now too! gently caress everything.

Squatted the wrong way at work and hosed up something in my already hosed up knee. Even worse, I was going to get my lovely, skin-irritation-causing glasses after work and instead I left early and have been sitting home applying ice instead. I've been putting off new glasses for months so this delay doesn't make much difference but today was going to be the day I was an adult and did a thing I needed to and that's pissing me off.

My boss is going insane. Half of the old guard staff have quit, the other half are having a hard time hanging on. One of the biggest benefits of working where we do was flexibility with student scheduling. I gave her my availability for the upcoming semester, which was Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday, and got an e-mail back saying we need to talk about it together in person. Sounds like that's not good enough. I've had one weekend day off every school semester for 3 and a half years with no issue. Just because everyone else quit because she's become a micro-managing tyrant with zero flexibility isn't my fault. If she says I can't work there without working both weekend days, I'll say "Either you have me 3 days a week or 0 days a week. Up to you." I may just be joining the mass exodus after all.

I'm just really pissed off because there's a fire ban in my region due to our half of the country burning down, and someone had an illegal campfire at one of the most stunning lakes in Canada where fires are banned permanently regardless of conditions. It was a doubly illegal fire. And they set the loving forest on fire. It isn't getting cold enough for it to be necessary for survival, we're in a heat wave with zero precipitation. They're just gigantic selfish assholes.

Found out one of my friends died, completely out of the blue, at work last night. No idea of the cause (I'd guess something like an undiagnosed heart condition or aneurysm or something like that). We were meant to get lunch today. She was one of those people who was pure radiance, beauty and joy condensed into human form. And she was in her 20s. loving blows.

Witnessed an accident between two folks on a motorcycle (trying to gun it through a stale-yellow light) and a car (which didn't have to slow down coming to the intersection, since it was a fresh green). Bike hits car, folks went rear end-over-teakettle over the car, landed, and didn't get up. By sheer coincidence one of the randoms near where I was was a doctor and got to work on them, I did the 911-calling (because what else am I going to loving do). Doc guy confided in me later that he's pretty sure one of them (the woman) didn't make it. At best, I am barely dealing with this right now. There was a lot of blood. Wear your helmets, people.

I saw a pedestrian get hit by a car once. Tossed him pretty far. Found out later he didn't make it. It's a terrible thing to witness. Hugs from me too, I understand what it's like.

I woke up with a killer hangover and during our work group meeting I had to run out and puke in the bathroom when my boss asked me a question. It's only lunch time and in a few hours I have another meeting which I have prepared absolutely nothing for. Not the worst day ever but I'm looking forward to it being over.

I just found out my friend from law school died...not 100% sure what happened, but he was young and healthy last time we spoke. Good dude who loved animals and old cars.

I had to sit through 15 miles of bumper to bumper traffic to get back to the office this afternoon, then I got stuck for 10 minutes at a train crossing on the way home, and now my CO/smoke alarm keeps chirping out it's malfunction alarm at irregular intervals and there's nothing I can do to stop it.

I bet someone's already said this, but can I complain about complaining? I feel like compulsive complaining ruined my life. Like I couldn't shut myself up. Also apparently it's highly psychologically unhealthy? Edit: I forgot this is supposed to be about your day. I'm lonely I guess. I have a hard time concentrating. I'm being eaten alive by guilt from the things I've done. Tiresias2 has a new favorite as of 05:43 on Sep 19, 2017 |

Sounds like some real self-esteem issues and I say that as someone WITH self-esteem issues.

Came back from a short vacation to find my "trained" backup had barely done the job and I had an overwhelming backlog of work. Spent most of my shift trying to catch up and not having a panic attack. Then in the last ten minutes of work I hit my hand and now I'm icing it and praying I didn't fracture anything.

My grandma went into hospice care this weekend. I got to tell her I loved her and goodbye on Sunday when she could still speak, but she's been hanging on by a thread the last few days. My mom keeps texting me updates, and I just wish she would stop. I don't want to know that my Nonnie is only breathing 7 times every minute and hallucinating my Nunu at the end of her bed. Every text and phone call I've gotten for the past two days make my heart sink until, once again, I see it's just another cousin checking in or my mom telling me more info about her dying mother. I wanted to fly down to Florida to be with them, but my grandma told me not to go down because she didn't want any of her grand kids there at the end. So I'm sitting here at work trying to function and every time my phone vibrates I mentally prepare myself and it's just draining. I just want to be down there with my mom and dad, but I promised her I wouldn't. This is both my grandparents and two friends with in 12 months. I'm used to losing friends, but family is too much.

I'm a thirty something failure whose had too many years of unemployment/underemployment and I just managed to get a good paying job solely because I know someone who works at this place. I should note that this is the first time I've ever taken advantage of knowing someone to get a job. And I'm realizing that after three lovely days of training that I might not be able to do this job. But I desperately need it because I only have $150 to my name. I'm feeling like a real worthless piece of poo poo.

You wouldn't have been hired unless they thought you could do it. I'm going through this poo poo with a new job myself and the confidence does build. Worst case, just loving ask somebody if you're not sure. You're the new guy, they're expecting questions from you.
