I have lunch at the same time as two of my most talkative coworkers. I can't just read in peace in the breakroom, they're always "politely" involving me in the conversation, and it would feel lovely to say "hey I don't wanna talk right now". I'm the receptionist so I'm talking to people and making calls all day. I don't want to spend my breaks making awkward, forced small talk. But I also don't want to look like a snob.

I have the same problem except my coworkers will hunt me down like an overly chatty xenomorph. One time I took my break in an unused meeting room and someone literally unlocked the door to come in and bitch about other coworkers without ever once imagining that I want to eat in peace. I dont even know how they knew I was inside.

I have a very nice co-worker but the issue is that they never know when to stop talking. They'll ask a question and then follow it up with a bunch of qualifiers and eventually get annoyed that they do t have an answer yet. I would tell you what you want if you would take a loving breath!

My work van's airbag light was on this morning. Pepboys doesn't do airbags, and because it had some new tracking system installed Saturday, Nissan won't touch it. So I had to get a poo poo rental with manual locks and mirrors and have to keep it for a week or two because my manager won't move one of the spare vans over to my location. WE HAVE SIX loving SPARE VANS. My mom refuses to go outside her comfort zone to meet any new people or friends so she continues to vent solely to me about her enemies at work and how no one likes her and all of them refuse to do their job and I just want her to have someone else to vent to! Was trying to do work training on the computer during downtime and the computer is so slow the videos kept freezing and the entire thing had to be restarted. No, it wouldn't restart where I left off, why would it ever do that?

I went out and partied with a bunch of friends last night, and I'm surprisingly hangover-free, but I got woken up early today by construction noises, followed by work calling to see if I can cover a shift later in the week. I ended up taking a nap in the middle of the day and sleeping way longer than I meant to so now most of the day is gone. I mean, it's not like I was actually going to do anything, but I was going to tell myself I was going to do something. At the very least it means getting up at a reasonable hour tomorrow will be very difficult.

They feel so good when they are happening and then you realize the sun's already going down and it's time to start dinner and you have to change the cat boxes later and get the recyclables rinsed out and you'll have no time for stupid video games or binge streaming shows.

The worst part of naps for me is that you wake up at like 3 in the afternoon, and feel like you haven't showered or brushed your teeth at all that day, even though you have. You just end up feeling all grungy like you do when you first wake up in the morning.

Got turned down for an entry level IT job. They said they went with someone with more experience. I got in contact with these people through a community college job fair where, correct me if I'm wrong, looking to talk to people with no professional experience. Three loving years of this poo poo. How does anyone get an entry level job? Took half a day off work for that interview, and spent the morning extra stressed because southeast Michigan was experiencing a bunch of floods that doubled the time it took to get to work.

A couple of coworkers who sit nearby leave alarms on their phones for when they need to go on break, go to lunch, etc. They never turn their phones on silent or take the phones with them when they're away from their desk. Nothing improves your work day quite like listening to the default iPhone alarm clattering around in a locked drawer!

I feel bad about complaining about this given the above, but I'm waiting for HR at a new place to get back to me about a second round of interviews for a job I really want. Even though I just sent my availability this morning, I'm antsy and it's making it hard to focus at work. And one of the people I work with mentioned earlier how hard it is to replace people in our city, so I feel a little bad about how I'm actively looking to leave. Not that bad though.

I've been with This Particular Company(tm) for almost three years now, hired as lower middle management. Received two promotions and three raises to elevate me to slightly upper middle management, and am now receiving a great deal of pressure to get a certification in order to be promoted to actual upper middle management. Issue being, the certification is in an area I have no interest in whatsoever, but would literally double my income and greatly simplify my schedule. It is heavily implied that the promotion is guaranteed and would be almost automatic once the certification is attained. Said certification involves classes, homework, learning a whole bunch of stuff that doesn't interest me at all, and a strip search state board test. BUT IT"S NOT SOMETHING I"M EVEN SLIGHTLY INTERESTED IN!! Woe is me.

My friend's baby was due yesterday but her appt for induction kept being pushed back. It wasn't until almost midnight she was induced, so I was worried most of the night because of how poo poo the universe can be. Tried for six years to get pregnant, high chance of miscarriage, what if she goes through all this and the baby is stillborn? Baby was born about 730 this morning and is totally fine. Part of me sits and wonders, drat, I'm going to be 38 years old this year. Never been married or had a real serious relationship and don't think I'd be a good mom. Seeing the newborn didn't invoke any baby fever in me. I nannied for two families a decade ago and helped raise four awesome kids, so I really don't want my own (I could never afford one anyway!) but part of me wonders if I should have had baby fever by now. Or, because I devoted my life to a few hundred animals, I just can't?

Nobody cares about the hip bands I loved as a teen. I look up Youtube videos for bands like New Pornographers, Ivy, Neko Case, DJ Shadow, Aesop Rock, Explosions in the Sky, and Interpol. A bunch of their latest videos might have a few thousand views and many of them will be under a thousand. I guess it's just age.

There's nothing wrong with you, as long as you're not one of those "childfree" weirdos posting about "crotch goblins" & "mombies" on Reddit. There needs to be a support group for women who don't want children, because there's so much pressure on us to have them and no one should be bringing babies into this world that they don't want.

Yup no fever at all. I saw more pics of the newborn today and while I am happy for my friend, all I can think is, drat, you really couldn't have found anyone better than some fat manchild to make this kid with? Manchild who already was dragging his feet the entire IVF process and didn't want to do much during the pregnancy, even getting snippy when he had to stop hosting D&D parties five nights a week down to four. The odd thing is I think I could handle pregnancy and childbirth fine, it's the after that would terrify me because I would do something that would gently caress the kid up horribly.

I'm a trans-woman. I never wanted to be a dad, but being a mom seemed pretty great. It was super weird to suddenly have maternal feelings to be honest. I'm 44 and my wife is 47 and we never had kids. Not for lack of trying before my transition, but actually getting pregnant was never a high priority. The main reason we wish we'd tried harder in our 20s and 30s is so we'd have someone to help take care of us, and that's never a guarantee. We're aunts, which, ironically, is what my wife had always dreamed of being.

I had that second round interview I posted about before, and now I'm waiting to hear back. I think it went ok and I know they have processes to go through, but that doesn't stop me from ruminating like the anxious motherfucker I am. Also on baby fever, I've come down with a mild case. We have specific plans to start trying later this year, and I have an IUD so we can't just get going, but drat if it doesn't make me jealous of all my friends' cute babies.

Our furnace sucks sometimes, the pilot light just randomly goes out. It didn't matter for the past two weeks because it was warm enough outside to not need to run it anyway. But the last few days it got cold again so the furnace was just blowing cold air. We relit the pilot light today. Now, we like it cool. 16 or 17C cool. Our thermostat is on the main level, but most of the air vents into the basement, which is where I typically hang out. It has to be 30C down here right now. I'm roasting to death. But my cats LOVE IT so at least they're happy.

As for taking care of, it's not. My mom had two kids, me, and my brother, who wouldn't piss on a fire to put her out. Now she drives me nuts, but I suspect she has depression, possibly some anger issues never looked into. My brother got into drugs, went into the Army and then got a dishonorable discharge right before 9/11 (never stops him from bragging about being a veteran for free poo poo) and cannot get his life together. He's broken into our house and robbed us. If he was taking care of her, she'd probably be dead by now. The other part, other than knowing I'd screw up the kid, I would be terrified of the kid having some health issue, or mental issue. The kid grows up with the best I can do, and shoots up a school. The kid grows up and is a rapist. Because of something I did. Or, on a no one's fault issue, the kid has severe autism and can only shake himself to sleep and there is nothing I can do to help him, and knowing if he went into a state house, he'd be abused. Better first world problem: why does the live action Aladdin look like a porn parody?

I'm on my second international vacation ever. I'm so jet lagged that even on day two I can barely function outside of drinking water, watching movies and pseudo-sleeping. What double sucks is that my neighbor just gave birth and their kid cries all the time. It's Amsterdam. I could just go out for a walk but I'd probably get run over by a hoard of bicyclists.

I had a really early day at work yesterday, combined with a general lack of sleep this weekend and it's totally hosed me up. I took a "nap" after work around 6 or 7pm and slept for three hours.. then said gently caress this and went straight back to bed. I just got up about half an hour ago. It's 5am here. Also I had some really weird, hosed-up dreams. I don't exactly know if I'd call them nightmares, but gently caress whatever part of my subconscious came up with this poo poo.

I've never watched Game of Thrones (or read the books) because I can't even remember the last time an American-made series with a continuous storyline had a decent ending. On the plus side, I haven't spent years getting invested in a story with no payoff. On the negative side, I don't know anything about the show so can't understand any explanation I've seen of why the ending was so bad. I feel like I'd enjoy my smug superiority more if I could mock fans more effectively.

All of my nightmares are insanely mundane. Like being back at a particular job that I quit over 10 years ago, or not being able to get away from someone that's annoying me. Not even necessarily trying to hurt me, just being loving annoying. Yesterday's dream was some sort of roommate drama where I was being kicked out of the house because the new roommate didn't like me and he thought I was a total loving weirdo (I mean I am but not like that..). I don't even have roommates irl. I think I was just reading too much of the r/relationships thread before bedtime.. Right now my fwp is that I have a project that needs to get done before the weekend, and I just completely ran out of motivation to work on it. I spent literally all day yesterday on it and made really good progress, but now I'm just ehhhh..
