I hurt all over, everything is sore. I normally do it on one shift and that's fine, only the inklings of soreness set in by the end of it, but both shifts and it's no bueno. I sort about ~7,000 packages on one shift, and the second shift I had to cover on I sorted another ~8,000, so a solid 15 grand over the course of about nine hours. Super loving sucks, and I get to do it alone 99% of the time, no help even when I call for it, and shutting the belt off just means you get hosed ten minutes later as the poo poo that's been stacking up in the sort aisle from when you shut off reaches you. searching youtube for examples of picking off at UPS has been entertaining at least.

More like why is your summer lovely but I sell these battery powered bubble blowers and the solution they come with turned to gel so they don't work properly. Each day I take all the contaminated reservoirs into the public bathroom after I close, dump the jelly out, then refill them with fresh solution from a jug. Then customers complain they've been opened.

Got a text one hour ago (~11:30PM) saying I had to open at 5:00AM 30 miles away, on the first day of my weekend. Said job will be a pay-cut on hourly rate because the company pays by site, I won't get overtime because I'm part-time, and the incentive they said they'd give me to do it is taking an extra two days off this week, unpaid. I said no then turned my phone off because gently caress them, so I'm probably out of a job. gently caress this goddamn state, country, and economic system. I loving give up. This was my last try. I'm 39 goddamn years old, I have no loving skills because I drank myself stupid in my twenties, I'm autistic as hell so doing short hours simple part time dullard work was the only type of job I could manage to keep, and this one was absolutely perfect. Now I'm probably out on my rear end because I refused to drive thirty goddamn loving miles on four goddamn hours of loving sleep and I wish this was just... end. I can't do this any more. I can't fight against a system and people that absolutely do not care if I live or die, that only give a poo poo about me if I'm performing exactly to their precise specifications, I can't. I can't. I can't. gently caress these bastards, I wish they'd loving die of necrotic genitalia. Goddamn loving assholes. I desperately want a drink, I can't drink, I hate everything about this. ryonguy has a new favorite as of 05:46 on Jul 29, 2019 |

^^ Oh man, I know that feeling. I know it's saccharine as poo poo but it will get better. Way less bad than the above, but I watched a movie and gorged myself on almonds all night. I didn't know that if you eat a lot of almonds for a while, and then suddenly do, your body tends to react.. poorly. There's a lot of stuff I want to do today that I can't because I'm not feeling well at all.

Update: everything is perfectly copacetic, or at least relatively for blowing off work. Supervisor said he had to cover it and was kinda annoyed about it, but said it was over and done with. So I flipped out and spent the weekend dreading getting fired for nothing

I FINALLY, after loving MONTHS of waiting, got my name off my old house's mortgage and title after my ex did a refinance. I have been looking at homes online in a site my realtor set up for me where houses automatically get added in when they go on the market. Several have come on and off the market in the months I've been looking, as I expected, and I haven't been able to see anything in person because of being on the old mortgage still (since I don't have the income to support two mortgages at once, obviously.) Well, that paperwork got finished last week Wednesday, I talked to my potential lender to get started on pre-approval so I could start looking at houses...and the one I really, REALLY wanted is gone. It had been on the market for a while, over a month. No price reduction, unlike everything else that stays that long, so I figured it was just some stubborn sellers, but I might have been willing to past asking price if it was as good in person as the pics looked. Everything else that isn't a loving condo or mobile home goes so loving fast it's unreal. Another place I really liked was listed and then updated as being under contract in less than a day. What really pisses me off is the lender my ex used to do the refinance dragged their loving feet and the process took easily a month longer than it needed to. If it had been done quicker, I could have had a chance to look at 2 or 3 places I liked in person and perhaps made an offer on one of them.

I've been on edge since seeing a guy get hit by a car right in front of me. The car was stopped but then went to turn right without looking, hit the guy then rolled onto his foot. I was right behind him and if he hadn't been there I would have been the one hit. I would have been walking slightly faster because he was a bit slower than I normally am. After being so sick I could barely function for years, and just getting better this past month, the last thing I need is to get hit by a loving car and end up hosed over for who knows how long. I stayed with the guy and the driver for a while, the dude's foot was pretty hosed up. Other than that he wasn't injured. But goddamn. That was such a close call.

I may get fired for something I did. I don't regret it, but I just bought a condo. This is the second time I've done something like this so they may not let it slide as easily. I'll find out Monday. Last time I gave up a bonus, this time I think it could be more.

Well my reliefs phone is going straight to voicemail but I was able to leave a message on my boss's boss phone instead of getting the usual 'inbox full' notice, so I got at least one thing done regarding my relief being late. What's that? No my boss didn't answer his phone, why would he do that, it's not like being able to get ahold of him is important or anything. This loving company. I can't get ahold of anyone above me when I need them. In case of an actual emergency, I am loving screwed.

I reconnected with a friend from middle school and he totally flakes on ever hanging out. He offers to hang, then either offers cities way far away to go to even though we both don't have that kind of transpiration, or will say lets go to X mall! Ok what time. Well its gonna be crowded, how about Y? Ok what time? Wait what about Z? Over and over and over. I finally just had enough and blocked his rear end cause he is just jerking me around, he had no intention on ever really hanging out and I am annoyed and tired of playing games with him. I hate being pissed off early in the morning. rear end in a top hat.

Less "day" but I'm facing redundancy at work by the end of the month and the job search for a replacement isn't going too well right now. Luckily I'll be gettingh a massive reduncancy pay due to being voluntary (one of many who opted for it, the company is collapsing like a neutron star) and I can get enough government assistance if needed to pay the bills, so the 7-8000 will be free to pay for groceries and whatever fares are needed for travel until something finally comes through. It's just a really stressful period of my life.

Just found out a former coworker who I got along with really well was arrested for operating a puppy mill and they confiscated SEVENTY TWO SICK DOGS from her. What in the actual goddamn gently caress poo poo About a year ago she just suddenly stopped showing up, wouldn't respond to anyone's texts including other coworkers who were real friends with her, like hung out outsids of work. Turned out she just suddenly moved to a new city without telling anyone. It was so bizarre and out of character and since she cut all contact we never knew why but now we think she was doing it here and was about to get caught and fled.

I had to go to my dad to ask for money today. He's got a good amount of money saved up in his retirement and has helped me in the past because mom's healthcare expenses and past issues are exorbitant, having her identity stolen and her entire life savings taken right after having brain surgery in the early oughts still financially haunts us to this day. He knows all this, he knows her health is terrible, he knows the situation. He still took the opportunity, after offering to help us recently, to dunk on her for like an hour about how she's awful with money, she wastes it on bullshit(she has not bought ANYTHING nonessential except like, a couple books in the last half a year), she lets herself waste away. Because I can't just blow up at him since that'd probably result in him just shutting me out entirely because he can be an extremely capricious fucker, I had to just sit there and take it and write down a list of "scenarios" of varying types of monetary help he might(or not) provide, to give to mom, so she can answer them like a loving high school essay and give it back to him so he can decide what he'll do. 1: What will we do if he doesn't help us at all, period? 2: What will we do if he continues helping us as he has(he's been giving us money each month to help expenses)? 3: What will we do if he pays off all of our bills and debts outside of the mortgage and equity line of credit? He dangles this poo poo above my head like a god drat fish for a seal at the aquarium. It's infuriating and humiliating. He has made it exceedingly clear that he can end our financial issues just like that, but he doesn't want to. I tried asking for a tiny percentage of what he has, he's got a house and he's sitting doing mostly nothing except drinking wine and reading books and watching movies at home. He doesn't travel. He has an extremely good pension and social security. He's not hurting for money. He knows I'm stuck in a lovely situation because the recent contract at my job resulted in me getting locked out of any raises for another two years, at which point I'll jump up to nearly double what I make now. I've sold a lot of my personal poo poo to offset expenses and cut down on buying unnecessary stuff almost entirely. I've been selling off everything in my online store without restocking because I'm putting the money towards bills and mom's medical expenses, and the shelves are starting to get bare. He knows all this. He knows he can cover mom's medical bills without incident but he hates her, he hates all women. His solution as he has said forever now is "sell your house and move somewhere cheap". Yeah, that's a great idea, I'll hop right on that. We're definitely going to find a place at a reasonable price anywhere within spitting distance of Boston compared to our current monthly payments, for sure. I hate this. I hate this so much. Eight months and mom can get medicare, it'll lower the amount she'll pay for healthcare by like a grand a month. It'll be great and help a lot. But until then we are strung the gently caress out. Two years and I'll arbitrarily suddenly make double what I make now for the same work, but until then, thanks to a loophole with the contract I get no raises until then, which turbofucks me, so I have to ask him for help. And I hate it. edit: also mom has applied for basically every assistance thing under the sun and either been rejected or is still in the process of talking with them because some of this poo poo takes forever especially under the orange idiot administration. she's been trying to get EBT for months now. But of course dad thinks she's doing nothing. And he wants her to get a job, working at a convenience store or some poo poo, despite her not being able to stand up for very long at all.

I mean, he'll probably wind up giving us money. He said specifically if I take the money and put it into a separate bank account and don't let mom take any of it(???) and only use it to pay expenses that he'd give me more than otherwise, which what the gently caress does that even mean when he opened with him possibly not helping at all. If you're going to do that then say you'd help more than otherwise then you're just waving your money around as a symbol. What does he want me to do, a fuckin' dogeza? plead while tears stream down my face, that he's a savior? gently caress that. I appreciate any help he gives to an absurd degree and have actively done my best to avoid having to ask him for help, and he knows that. But poo poo is getting dire right now, with rising property taxes resulting in an extra $400 a month tacked onto the mortgage, and again, the property tax reprieve(?) I think it is that we've asked for, the town is dragging their feet because of course they are. I don't want to sell the house. To begin with, it's a good historical house, it's got far more land and square footage in the house itself than any others around it, it's in a good location, we've been slowly fixing it up, and the mortgage is honestly really great right now(there are apartments literally down the road that cost more per month than the mortgage), and most of all, it's my house. It's the house my sister and I grew up in. I love this house. I love this neighborhood. But because mom can't work anymore due to her health and had to take social security early just so she could get SOME income, money has been bad for the last couple years in particular, and so the mortgage still is an issue when piled on top of every other expense. Electric bill is $100 PLUS whatever we use a month because National Grid is the worst. poo poo like that. It's all really getting to me, and him being such a fucker about it and pulling out the same bullshit he did years ago when my mom got sepsis and had to be hospitalized for nearly a month, it just is the shittiest thing. He will probably help out to a degree. Probably give us enough money to pay the very overdue electric and gas bills and maybe a credit card or two off. But he's going to make goddamn sure mom and I know what a saintly philanthropist he is and smart moneysaver he was in his younger days while making GBS threads on all of our choices whether he's right or not, and I gotta keep my mouth shut because if I snap at him, the game's over and he'll take his ball and go home, because that's just the way he acts. The thing that I just grit my teeth at was him telling me to have mom apply at walmart and be a greeter or something. Work at 7-11. Like that'd make the difference. Like he's ever held a job like that in his entire life, besides working at a gas station in high school in the 60's. Like she's even healthy enough to have that sort of job, she's barely able to walk, her knees are hosed. He knows how bad her health is. He thinks a little exercise will solve it, no, she's got a laundry list of health problems, including poo poo that unsupervised exercise would not be great for, such as heart issues! But it's no big deal to him, because he hates her. It's easy to demonize her, because he views her as the source of all his ills. Because they were married for 13 years and he'd emotionally abuse her and my sister, and then one day he just loving walloped mom in the face, full-arm-punched her out of nowhere because he was off his meds and I guess she just said The Wrong Thing, and she divorced him and he had to pay alimony for a while. He thinks she's at fault(except when he's drunk, when he bawls about failing her and us kids back then, but "forgets" that when he sobers up). To a degree, he's kind of at fault for her identity theft, because after he did that and they separated, she was desperate to find someone to help her pick up the pieces. Enter the guy who did it, who had(after the FBI got him later) specifically targeted formerly-abused women and manipulated them over a dozen times in the past. Mom was incredibly vulnerable, I wasn't at home at the time, and he got her good. Took her for almost everything and ran. And dad blames her for being gullible. He's pretty loathsome. He had a change of heart when my sister was murdered, softening up a lot, but lately he's been swinging back to his lovely old self. He's always kind to me, but women, nope, always treated mom and my sister like poo poo. I'm pretty sure he's developing parkinson's, alzheimer's, or dementia, and he drinks a lot nowadays(he's always been a lush). Hell, he drank two glasses of wine while we were talking about money, and he's been supplying me with empty boxed wine boxes by the dozen for a couple years now as packing boxes(they're pretty great for that, admittedly). He might be bipolar, I don't know. Might explain his wild swings between offering to help and then criticizing everything, maybe not. I'm not his loving doctor, but he's certainly acting more oddly lately. I can't cut him out of my life because I feel like he'd just axe the inheritance, despite the amount of stress it causes me, and I want that inheritance. It's probably the only chance I'd ever get to be able to build my sister's house, the house she designed before she died. I would pay off the current house and either buy another nearby location and build her house based on the model she left behind, or build it where my current house stands, either or. But yeah, "just sever" is unfortunately not an option if I want to accomplish my dream, since while I will make a good income in two more years, it'd never cover the cost of that sort of thing unless I worked until I'm 80. It sucks. I just...I just wanted to vent a bit.

No one in my life takes me seriously - at work or personally. I am a funny person but I can't turn it off - anything tense it kicks on and I'm agreeable. I am unable to stand up for myself. Because of this I don't get 'respect' from anyone, although everyone likes to be around me. When something is wrong Spectral beard will help, when they need someone to solve a problem I'm loving in demand. But I am a tool to be used exclusively - as this is a universal experience I must not deserve respect. People can sense it. A bunch of people flat out refused to do what I asked of them. I loving hate this. Why the gently caress do I have authority over people. It's my own loving fault that I let people do this to me. Makes me want to quit they just loving throw this poo poo at me because I won't complain, they know I'll end up doing it all myself.

I'm only loosely in charge of them as I'm an "engineer" up on my third floor and they are "actually useful skilled workers who generate all the actual revenue" who work on the first floor. They have their own deadlines that I know nothing about and when the guy said he wouldn't help me it was with resentment that I was pissing in his cornflakes even asking. Which I probably was, its rediculous our whole command structure. I shouldn't have authority over something I know almost nothing about. I know allot about the machines they make but nothing about making them, or their processes or any of it. I like to pick my battles and I'm not gonna gently caress this guy over, again because I'm weak and default figure his problems are more important then my own. I hate poo poo like this and it hurt my ego - I want to help people and work hard, not loving squabble over who has to do what. So I just did it myself. But I'll remember this next time they try to put a project like this on my plate, I'll get direction over what is possible to avoid a confrontation. A manager told me to tap this guy. As I type this the manager that dropped this project at me apologized for causing problems. I guess if I truly wasn't respected that would not have happened, I need to be less sensitive.

After paying my rent and electricity bill today, I thought that I'd have $40 left. I could make that amount last, since I often shop cheap. Then I remembered about my bank's ridiculous fees, and looked at my balance. I am overdrawn, and I have no food. Literally all I have at home is a single potato and a bottle of ketchup. For two weeks. I don't know what to do.

I'm supposed to start nursing school at the end of the week but my bank account is too overdrawn to make one of the payments they want and I don't know when my new job will pay me. Or if it will even be enough. Plus the depression is strong this last couple of days, to the point that today I spent the majority of the day sleeping and avoiding other humans. But on the plus side I also slept through dinner and it doesn't feel nearly as bad as I had thought it would. (total intake today: Half a frozen pizza, glass of milk and a tangerine.)Maybe I'll end up losing some weight from all of this.

So, I came to the dental surgeon with my mom for them to check out an abnormality on her gums. She sits in the chair, he tells her to say ahh, and is just like "well, that's mouth cancer". Carcinoma or something. gently caress. gently caress! I hate everything. Edit: they still have to do a biopsy and all that. But he was just like "in 20 years of doing this, that's what that looks like, and everything else similar is also not great, siphilis, tuberculosis, etc", so, gently caress. It could also be an infection, but it's not real likely, this is two separate professionals suggesting it's cancer. Very treatable cancer, apparently, but any cancer is bad.
