Now there's a message on my phone from someone at work that I'm carefully not listening to. This is my first real full time job. I need this. It feels like she's making poo poo up about me and using it as an excuse to get rid of me. Yeah, you need to reach out to HR right now to file a complaint and hope the firing procedure isn't already started. Chances are you're gonna be let go for "gross insubordination" or something if you aren't already.

Our gas was cut without warning. It was my responsibility to pay that bill, but due to my health issues I wasn't making enough to cover it for a few months so my husband took over. Except the bank or something hosed up and his payments weren't going through. We never received any letters or emails warning us of nonpayment. They just showed up and shut the gas off. I was home and heard noise but didn't check. We went through my husband's bank statements, the account number is correct and the payments were confirmed as going through without being refunded at all. So we have several hundred dollars missing. We used the same bank and account number to make the outstanding payment and I provided a reference number over the phone yesterday. Gas was reconnected this afternoon. So NOW the payments are going through without is loving changing anything. Now we have to fuckin figure out what happened to our missing money.

Yeah, national grid did the same thing here for our power despite being in talks to negotiate payment support and also under an order not to cut it due to my mom needing a machine to breathe while she sleeps. Only warning was some shitfuck smashing on the meter until a part broke off, then saying "not my problem" when called on it and driving off National grid is a terrible company

I think I got food poisoning from a place I regularly eat from. Like, I'm not entirely sure - I had lunch at the zoo and dinner at the aforementioned place - all I know is that the end result was upsetting. I'm eating nothing but the BRAT diet for a few days, because I have tickets for something on Sunday and I can't be chained to my bathroom all day.

Solice was right. It kind of pushed me over the edge ala straw that broke the camels back. I spent yesterday, last night and most of today in a psych ward for trying to hang myself. I'm home now and feel ok, just tired and embarrassed.

I took today off from work and had plans to get some stuff done. Instead I woke up to my alarm, turned it off, rolled back over and slept another four hours, which I haven't done in years. then I had a terrible nightmare where I was constantly trying to find and talk to my sister, who was murdered 11 years ago, but in this dream was still alive, but I had the sense I had just this one chance to speak to her. But everything I tried I couldn't get in touch with her. Eventually, I called mom and she said that my sister should be sleeping still, so I went to her room and...the room was empty. then I woke up, and I've just got this pall of sadness covering me today and I don't feel like doing anything.

I'm truly, deeply sorry about this. I haven't really experienced loss, so I can't really relate, but I'm sorry. Also today (yesterday really) my day was lovely because I got sexually harassed by a guy I thought was cool

Trying to see a psychiatrist and two places now either only do cash payments or won't take my insurance. Made my insurance give me a list of motherfuckers who take it and the one I called hasn't returned my call in like a day. If I pay out of pocket it'll be like 500 for the initial appointment and 250 for the followup. It's cheaper and easier to get a quality pistol or rifle in this country, luckily this is for possible ADD. Pisses me off. Also thought a dentist appointment was later than it actually was, so I ended up going to work late for nothing and irritating the dentist office. What a waste.

My PTSD is getting worse, and I'm now having nightly nightmares featuring car accidents. As well, my survivors guilt kicked in because here I am getting PTSD from a car accident that nobody was injured in, not like going to war, or witnessing a mass shooting or anything. Just something small and simple.

If it wasn't lugging around a bigger-box-than-I-assumed box holding a lamp in the high-70s heat for the first block of the day, it's being in my apartment (warm because I'm on the third floor), setting some stuff up, and realizing that the lamp is big enough that I need to buy a small table or something so I have light and table space. It's more of a FWP than anything, not worthy of getting into detail, but man alive can the expectations of {thing} be the reality of {thing} for just one day?

That's horrible, dude, I'm so sorry. I went to my followup appointment with my psych doc (regarding that fun little attempted hanging last week) and he basically told me I was wrong about how I felt, his diagnosis was the correct one, and basically it was my fault for being fired and also I should've been telling my emotionally-toxic housemates about this since I have no friends. Oh, but he's upping my dose of Prozac, so there's that.

My mother in law has had a break from reality and screamed at my wife for three hours before driving away from her home at 2:30AM. No one knows where she is. I don’t know how to explain to my daughter that she’s not going to be staying with grandma anymore after summer camp. Jesus, what a thing.

someone recommended an Undertale LP by a well-known streamer a few weeks ago and I finally got around to giving it a watch recently and it's wholesome and wonderful. I made this post:Captain Invictus posted:aw wow, even if Etika misunderstood the entire way of how flowey works(and can't decide on how to pronounce his name) and missed how asriel became flowey, the whole bit with him tearing up after saving asriel is adorable as hell and now I'm incredibly, incredibly bummed out, because in the replies of that tweet is a screenshot of his last scheduled youtube upload from a few days ago that has a description that is just a straight up suicide note.

It’s still a tough conversation and I’m torn on whether she’s ready. Or if grandma can get help, maybe I don’t have to tell her at all? That’s probably just wishful thinking though.

I hosed up pretty big at work. Well, technically it wasn't my fault since I was forwarded incorrect information, but still. There's a greater than zero chance that I'm going to wind up with a "bad guy edit" in a reality TV show if I can't fix this. I wish I were loving kidding.

My boss's wife is a huge bitch who constantly throws employees under the bus in front of customers to make herself look smart. What she doesn't realize is it just makes us all look bad. It's been happening a lot lately but today I had to bite my tongue really hard to keep from telling her off. Can't find a new job fast enough!

Preemptively called in sick for tomorrow and I'm about 6 whiskeys deep right now. I'm counting on a stranger to do the right thing and in finance that is gonna take a miracle. If not a multi-multi-multi-million dollar project is going to be significantly delayed. But that's a problem for Saturday's Solice Kirsk. Tonight my only worry is running out of WL Weller and having to switch to Willett.

I decided I needed to just face this head on so now I'm at work super hungover and getting screamed at. I had 15 voicemails just from overnight. I've been on the phone since I got here at 8am. I think I got it fixed though. Will find out in the next couple of hours. Spot of good news is I spoke to my regional leader and she said there's no way in hell they'll fire me for this since I just did what was requested. So that's something. One way or the other I told her I was taking the rest of the day off once what ever happens happens. I'm glad everyone involved is in LA right now because I wreak of booze sweats and look absolutely terrible. edit: Fixed it. gently caress this job. I can't wait to quit.

This morning at work my one boss left suddenly because of emergency. I was walking by and had heard screaming and crying over the phone speaker. It was really loud and I could hear the toilet flush so I waited where I was in the hallway outside to ask what was going on. He said he didnt know and that he had to go home. I told him I'd let our manager know, and he left. At break time my coworkers were talking about the democratic debate. They are all Republicans that watch Fox so I just tuned them out like I do every other day. A few minutes later the manager walked in and said my boss's son killed himself probably by drug overdose. Just that matter-of-factly. We were all shocked and it really shook me. Not 2 minutes later they are all talking about how drugs from Mexico are to blame and that we cant afford health insurance for everyone because they'll take half your paycheck in taxes. I got up and walked out of the room. I worked the rest of the day and just kept pissing myself off. God gently caress America you piece of poo poo.

Around midnight, my cat caught a mouse and jumped into bed with me with it in its mouth and proceeded to drop it on my chest while I was semi asleep. I just softly screamed ahhh ahhh ahhhh and she looked confused at my lack of appreciation and took off with it back into the kitchen. Lovely.
