I make a very modest salary and am easily the lowest paid person in my office.

Everyone else earns at least double what I make, often much more. Now everyone is talking about their lavish winter plans near me. Someone asked where I was going and all I could say was, "I can barely afford rent, let alone a vacation."

It's me, an enormous buzzkill.

Called out sick today because I really needed the break for my mental/physical health, and the whole process just affirmed that I made the right choice. I feel bad about lying and saying I was sick, but having my weird corporate robot boss try to manage how I called out and chiding me for not calling more than four hours(!) in advance really did make me feel ill.

In fact, I had quite a lot more to say about this particular boss, but thinking about it and trying to write it out makes me want to throw up so I guess I'll save it for later.

On the plus side you don't have to work 10am-11pm then 6:00am-4:00pm with an hour commute! Yeah that's not happening again. America (I assume you're in :911: ) isn't really first world in many regards though...

Yeah, I would probably kill someone if they tried to pull that poo poo on me. On the upside, I'm really motivated to work on my resumé right now..

Sorry, bud. That's a real nice thing about my job. Everyone wants you to use up your sick leave if you need it. No excuses, no proof needed. You earned it, lay in bed all day if you want.

My last job required TWELVE hour notice. In some cases that would have been while I was still at work from my last shift.
Loads of people said, "gently caress that" and have a couple hours at best. The policy was never in writing so the lovely managers had no real leg to stand on. Just a lot of threats.

Mental health days count as sick days. If your boss doesn't understand that he's a prick.

Just found out that my cool and nice manager (tm) is looking to leave the company asap, so now I'm really glad I'm planning my out already. From the sound of it, there may be a lot of poo poo rolling downhill from upper management (who are pretty much never in the building) and he's concerned about whether or not our location will even stay open. They just closed another location a couple weeks ago, rather suddenly, and claim they're putting those resources into our location but it seems really suspect. Either way, I hate that place and I have a lot of people willing to help me find something else so I see no reason to stay.



Nthing my entire neighborhood/city/state smelling like fire. :ca:
I'm over 200 miles away from the Camp Fire (the one burning up the town of Paradise) and it's been smoky and hazy here all day. Thankfully the air quality inside is still alright.


There was something else I was going to complain about but now I forget what it was.

I have not really been responding much to the current medication I am on for BPD but my previous psychiatrist (who prescribed them all in the first place) would rarely ever change a thing or dose. That whole "Yeah I hear you, but..." bullshit

I 'fired' him and saw a new psych on wednes, and I came prepared and wanting to be taken seriously because my severe mood swings and chronic emotional instability is ruining (has ruined) my life but this isn't e/n, sorry. He wants at least 5+ appointments or something when they are only available every 2 months I need medication change now now now,

So I guess the problem is not being taken seriously by doctors, which from some others' previous posts either here or somewhere else, it seems to be unfortunately common. I know at the end of the day, its just another job to them, but it feels like there is no winning in this situation.

That sucks, sorry to hear that. I only really know of BPD from Crazy Ex-Girlfriend but I have a friend online (they have given me permission to discuss them provided I keep them totally anonymous) who has a similarly stigmatized disorder (DID, on top of Psychopathy). I tend to do my best to understand how it works by asking questions about how they perceive things, and if I figure out a metaphor that works for me I run it by one of them to see if they agree/if it's accurate. It's really annoying to me how little these sorts of things are understood because all it takes is a little effort to begin to understand, even if you'll never experience it.

It's something that's kind of important to me as a result, because it makes me think about my own thoughts and emotions on a deeper level, like I once tried to describe the feeling of guilt to them (because they don't feel it themselves, however what they lack in empathy they have learned to understand so they tend to be very sensitive to others as a result), and eventually settled on it not being it's own thing, but an emotional parasite, that latches onto every other emotion and makes them feel even shittier, like Sadness gains the extra "And I did this bad thing because I'm an idiot who didn't think...", happiness/joy is tainted because of intrusive thoughts about the bad thing you did, and anger can end up turning internal fairly quickly.

Also in 2 months I'm getting a brain scan to see if my twitches are Tourettes or not.

My stupid heater is apparently an old piece of crap that likes to crap out every now and again. I rent so I don't have to pay for fixes and maintenance gets to it really, really quickly. The FWP is that occasionally I have to be kind of chilly for a day.

Cold doesn't even bother me that much I just live alone and like to sit around in my underwear a lot.

I hate movies. And I mean HATE. I don't like watching them. But I do it for friends and such so I've seen a poo poo ton recently cause they all like movies. And I'm fine! Honestly fine! The most I've ever said is be like "this camera guy sucks at zooming" cause like. Film is my major (ha ha irony). But when I see someone gently caress a fish and an then rip off almost completely the exact physical environment of Bioshock 1, I'm a little irked... oh and apparently this won best picture? K.

My sister-in-law couldn't be bothered to pick up her own mother from the airport tonight, even though they live together, because she wanted to get drunk with her friends. Instead, my husband had to pick her up, even though we live further away, and it meant he couldn't pick me up from work because her flight was supposed to land right around the time I was supposed to clock out. It wasn't even a late flight. She would have had plenty of time to pick mom up then get drunk if she actually cared at all.

On the upside, I ended up splitting a Lyft with my Nice and Cool Manager (tm) and having a drink together because we live on the same side of town and it was nice to bitch about work together. Downside is, the bar we like to frequent is near a sports arena and tonight's game ended just after we got there so the bar was flooded with people.

Also, I have to work on Thanksgiving.

Also also, someone from upper management came by tonight and remarked that while he "liked" my sweater, it wasn't appropriate for our dress code. Not because it had the Sailor Moon symbols on it, but because it partially covered the stupid dress I have to wear. Like, heaven forbid anyone thinks I'm wearing a skirt instead of a dress. :wtf:

He said nothing about the fact that I have bright blue streaks in my hair, though. Or the fact that I was wearing Dr Martens boots. He suggested I wear a nice jacket instead, so I'm thinking of going with my bright red plaid blazer. It even matches the colors of our company logo. :j:
