A former student messaged me letting me know another guy a little younger (22) than him had passed away. I guess he'd been acting oddly and friends were out looking for him, but when they found him he'd shot himself. I've had quite a few former students die over the years now that the oldest are about 41, but this one hit really hard. I first had him as a freshman and first impression was not great. He was kind of a goofy kid and was kind of a class clown, but as time went on I found that he was a good student and just a good person in general as well as . I built a good relationship with him and his machining projects were used as examples for other classes. He had a great work ethic in class and outside school he was always busy cutting grass or doing odd jobs until he was old enough for a regular job. Later, when I had him in my construction and CAD classes, he'd be the first to help anyone if I was busy helping assist someone else. Later, he was placed in one of my classes as an aid when he was a senior and he'd also pop into my homeroom almost every day just to chat about cars, trucks, motorcycles or life in general. After high school, he'd message or call me from time to time about his motorcycle or his job and we'd chat a bit. He'd just gotten a promotion and things seemed to be good, but he was good at putting up a facade and even his close friends didn't know this was coming until it was too late and he'd already acted. I can't imagine what his parents are going through.

slept for 13 hours. can't remember the last time I slept that long, maybe I was just super exhausted from this past week. kinda hosed up all my plans for the weekend, since I slept straight through the daylight hours. I've just been feeling immensely sad since waking up, for some reason, about chichi, the hamster that died last monday. I guess the way she went really hit me hard. I just don't feel like doing anything at all today. Captain Invictus has a new favorite as of 10:57 on Nov 6, 2022 |

My mom hates the sound of silence so she has to talk nonstop, have the TV blaring, or some stupid TikTok Facebook vid "YOU WON'T BELIEVE THIS!!!!1!!" bullshit on at all times. If I am typing, that doesn't count as noise either. I hate that small mammals like hamsters die so goddamn fast. Black Forest Ham died some months ago and I still miss him. Little rear end in a top hat was not a normal hamster; he wanted interaction and would run over to the side of the cage when he saw me, and grab every snack I offered him. He also loved running in his ball and would ram into the cats so many times I can't think it wasn't on purpose.

I want to talk about this customer from work, who was so incredibly difficult and obnoxious that I could not tell if this was performance art, or if there was a hidden camera or something. I work at a 7-11 in a part of town that has a lot of drug use, lots of unhoused come around and hang out, and lots of people who are not all that mentally healthy. So I'm used to dealing with people who are in very different mental states than I, and sometimes these are difficult interactions by largely it's all fine unless someone gets aggressive. This guy, who I guess I'll just call Guy, he comes in, he's probably in his 20s. I don't want to presume who is and who is not unhoused, but Guy doesn't smell bad, his clothes aren't very dirty. He had come in earlier in the day to drop off an application for work, and right after submitting it, he started asking random customers in the store for money so he could buy beer. It was weird. It took him a long time, but finally enough people gave him pocket change and he could buy a Four Loko or whatever. So toward the end of the night, Guy comes back in. This is during one of the busiest parts of the day -- there's a line of about five people, and people come in at such a rate that by the time I've helped three customers, two more have come in. Guy appears in line and has a couple items. I ring him up, and just before he pays for it, he asks about the pizza. I tell him the cost of pizzas per slice, he asks if we sell whole pizzas, and I say we do. At this moment he's already punched a bunch of things on the transaction pad, and basically as he's asking about pizza, the current transaction concludes. I hand him the receipt and ask if he also wants pizza. "Yeah, I'll do that," he says. "You want a whole pizza or a slice?" I ask. "Yeah, I'll do that." "Do what?" "Pizza." "Okay, you want a whole pizza or a slice?" "What's the difference?" "One is a whole pizza and the other is a slice of pizza." "Yeah, let me do that." "Okay. Do you want a slice?" "Yeah, man! Whatever! Just get me a pizza!" "Okay... okay, but look, do you want a slice, or an entire pizza?" He gives me a confused expression -- the kind of expression that articulates he being confused as to why I'm not getting it. "Look man," he says. "Just do what you got to do." I start to try go over the slice-vs-not-slice puzzle again, but he interrupts me and says "Are we done?!" There's like eight people behind him and they're getting impatient. So I say, "Sure, we're done." Guy leaves the counter and goes around toward the back, I presume to talk to my boss about the application he submitted earlier. I return to ringing customers up and completing transactions. After four or five customers, my boss appears next to me, and says, "Do you want me to cook this pizza?" "What pizza?" I ask. "This guy says he bought a pizza." "He didn't." "He says you sold him a pepperoni pizza." "I didn't." By now there are more people entering the store than there are leaving it. I don't have time to go over all this with my boss, I just want to get rid of these customers. So I shout way over to Guy, "Hey, buddy! I gotta sell you this pizza before we can cook it for you!" "It's okay," he says. "You already sold it to me." "I didn't sell it to you. You gotta come over here and pay for it." Guy gets back in line, and I work through more and more customers. When Guy is at the register again, I don't notice this but my boss has already started cooking the pizza, assuming this will be a quick interaction. But it's not a quick interaction, goddamit. In order for me to sell a whole pizza, I need to know first how the customer is going to pay for it. If they pay with food stamps, I have to ring it up a certain way or there are issues. So I ask how he's paying for this. "With this," he says, holding up a food stamp card. "Okay, food stamps," I say and hit the button. "I'm not paying for this with food stamps." "No?" "No." "Just a regular card?" He doesn't answer. He's holding on to his food stamp card, poised over the machine like it's a Whack-a-Mole. "Are you paying for this with food stamps?" I ask again. He continues to stare at the terminal. "Buddy," I say. "If you're going to pay for it with that --" "What's the problem?" he asks lazily as if he had not heard anything I had been saying. "I need to know if --" He shoves his food stamp card in the machine. The machine beeps because it's not expecting anything. "Okay, you're paying with food stamps," I say. "Are we done?" "No, hold on." "I put my card in." "I know. Take it out." "Are we done?" "No. Take your card out." "I am just trying to pay for my pizza." "Take your card out of the machine." "I'm just trying to pay for it." I stop talking, and just look at him, and I wait. Finally, he slowly takes the card out. "Okay," I say, and alter the transaction so I can sell it with food stamps. "Now, put your card in." He does. The machine beeps and says he only has twelve cents on his food stamps. "Are we done?" he says. "I'm really hungry." "No," I say. "Your food --" but now he's walking away. "Hey! Buddy! Your card doesn't have enough money on it." He comes back. I tell him again, not enough money on the card. Can he pay with another card? He fishes through his wallet and finds another. I change the order back to a pizza paid for by not-food stamps. I boop and beep the screen until it's ready for a card. "Okay, run your card now," I say. He tries to run the food stamp card. "Not that card." "Why not?" "There's not enough money on it." "Well, there was." "There wasn't." "You must have sold me the pizza." "I didn't sell you the pizza." "Then why am I putting my card in here?" "Buddy, the food stamp card doesn't have any money on it. There wasn't a transaction made. Nothing was taken off. There's just not any money on it. Do you want to pay with another card?" He takes out another card. I push the button to initiate payment. He quickly scans his food stamp card and then shoves in a different card. The machine is beeping and going crazy. "Okay, take the card out," I say. The machine is beeping and beeping. "Is it finished?" he asks. Beep beep beep beep! "Take the card out," I say. "Is it finished?" Beep beep beep! "No, take the card out." "Why is it beeping?" "Take your card out." "It says 'thank you.'" "Yeah, take your card out." "Why does it say 'thank you'?" "Because you confused it. Take your card out." He spins the card reader around so I can see it. "It says 'thank you,' he says." It does indeed say this. I don't know why it says this, but this is not an uncommon thing. The little card reader is a finnicky loving thing and sometimes it says THANK YOU when it really means I AM CONFUSED. Guy takes card out and looks very frustrated. "Okay," I say. "Now --" "Do you guys got a bathroom?" "No, no public restroom." "Your boss lets me use your bathroom." "Then go ask him." So he wanders off, back toward the back where my boss is doing Boss Stuff. I go back to helping customers, because by now the store is completely full and people are impatient. After a few customers, I see my boss is now cooking a pizza. "Hey," I say. "That dude still hasn't paid for the pizza." "Why didn't you sell him a pizza?" my boss asks. "Buddy!" I shout to Guy. "Come over here and pay for the pizza if you're going to have a pizza cooked." "I did pay for it." "No, you didn't." "Check your terminal. I did." "You didn't pay for it." "It said 'Thank you.'" "That doesn't mean anything." "If it says 'thank you,' then I paid for the pizza." "You didn't pay for the pizza." So now my boss comes over, and the three of us are having an obnoxious interaction. Guy wants a receipt proving he didn't pay for it. I tell him there is not receipt because there was no loving transaction. He says there is always a receipt. "What loving receipt?!" I am now shouting. "You didn't pay for anything. There's no receipt if you don't buy anything." He continues to argue about the terminal saying 'thank you.' This goes on for a while. The store is so full of people now. My boss goes into the Very Back with the secret computer only he has access to. From here he can print out a log that at least indicates that I did ring up a pizza and attempted to process a transaction for it several times. And also during this time, the pizza has already been cooked and is now just sitting in a box while we argue over this dumbass interaction. I tell Guy we can try one more time. So we do. And just like before, he tries to sneak his food stamp card in, as though he's going to cheat the system somehow? Because he rings up two cards, the machine goes nuts again, it says THANK YOU again. He spins the terminal around so I can see it again. "I'm done," he says. "I've paid for the pizza three times now." "Take your card out of the machine," I say. It's beep beep beeping. Guy wanders off. "Hey, your card, buddy." Guy wanders to this area that's sort of behind me. It's difficult to describe the space, but basically a customer can walk just past the cashier area to access a path that wraps around the back and allows access to frozen items. But he's not back there; he's just leaning against the counter, watching me, from behind. It makes me very uncomfortable. "Take your card out," I say. It's beeping and beeping. "I paid for the pizza." I know this machine well enough that I know where we are in this ridiculous dance of beeps and errors. If he takes the card out, I can push a button, and he can put the card back in, and the transaction can finally be accomplished. I just feel weird handling someone else's card, but he's not even in front of the machine anymore. So I take the card out, push a button, put the card back in, and finally sell him this loving pizza. "Why did you take my card?" he asks. "You can't do that. That's theft." "Take your card," I say. "You stole my card." I slam the card down on the counter in front of him. "You've paid for the pizza, it's over there." "It's cold, now." "Yeah, man, it probably is." I go back to helping customers. The line is massive. There are so many people in here. Every customer is loving furious at me, because I'm the cashier and if anything is inconveniencing a customer it always just becomes the cashier's fault. So I apologize to each one for the wait, etc. Without being aware of it, Guy has fetched a different pizza, has opened it, and walks over being the counter where customers aren't allowed, and puts his pizza down on the cooking sheet. So I have to go stop him, and then my boss comes out, and now the new issue is that Guy doesn't want to eat the cold pepperoni pizza he paid for; he wants to eat the 7-meat pizza he just grabbed off the shelf. This is another excessively long and obnoxious exchange between myself, Guy, and my boss. He didn't pay for a 7-meat, he paid for a pepperoni, these ring up different, sometimes the prices are different. This is new headaches. I resolve the issue by cooking up the loving new pizza, boxing up the old, and not charging him for a second pizza because I just want this loving guy out of the goddamn store. I return to helping customers. Guy brings his pizza over to that area he was at before -- the spot just sort of behind me. He proceeds to eat the entire loving pizza. He's asking me questions the whole time, and I try to just answer them perfunctorily or just ignore him. I think he's incredibly annoying and eating this pizza in the store right behind me isn't really allowed, but I also wonder if the guy has nowhere to go. It's 30 degrees, and he could be homeless, I don't know. So I don't want to be cruel and throw him out if this might be the only hot meal he's going to eat today, even if he was King Annoying poo poo the entire time. Then there's a mess at my feet. There's a tiny garbage in the cashier area that we cram full of so much bullshit -- receipts, discarded paper, gloves, etc. Guy tried to take the entire pizza box, reach way over the country and cram it in my tiny garbage? It just spills and makes a mess and also now there are loving pizza bits all over. I try and smile and say to Guy, "I'll throw the box away, don't worry about it." As I work through the rest of the customers, Guy just stands behind me the entire time. I ask if he needs something, and he says "I'll wait." It takes another ten, fifteen minutes but eventually every single customer is finally taken care of and the store only has like two people wandering around it. I walk down the counter to put something away, and Guy says behind me, "Aren't you guys supposed to tear these up?" I turn around and see he has reached way over the counter and he is shoving his hand in the little receipt stash. He grabs a bunch of used lottery tickets, and then starts tearing them up. "Whoa! Hey! Stop it!" I say, and come back over. "You're supposed to tear these up," he says. "No I'm not, stop it!" "Did a customer return this?" he says, picking up a quart of motor oil. "I'll put it back on the shelf." I catch up to him, knock the oil out of his hand, and grab the handful of torn up lottery tickets. He tries to hold on to him, and I shove him back, hard. He would have fallen on his rear end if he didn't grab the counter at the last minute. "Hey, that's assault!" he says. "That's automatically assault! You can't touch customers!" "Get the gently caress out of the store." "You assaulted me." "Get out of the loving store." "Where's your boss?" "Get the gently caress out of the store!" He tries to grab the motor oil again, and I knock it away, and it goes bouncing down the aisle. "Just get the gently caress out," I say. "Get the gently caress out of the store." "I'm trying to work this shift," he says. "I'm just trying to learn how to do the job." "Get the gently caress out. GET THE gently caress OUT!" Finally he does. The couple customers in the store are all silent. credburn has a new favorite as of 19:33 on Nov 16, 2022 |

I've got a different type of frustrating situation relating to work that I'm currently in the middle of. I very nearly have a new less awful job than my current one, I've passed all the interviews, and got a verbal offer and an email confirming that offer. Now I'm waiting for a different team to contact me so that I can go through the final stages of the process and get a start date so that I can finally put in my notice (which because of how long this process is taking will have to be 2 weeks now). It's just taking a VERY LONG time to hear back, like a week between emails so far. I just hope I hear back from the other team before this week is over. I WANT TO PUT IN MY NOTICE Goddamnit... Specifically my current job is helping people track missing orders, which sucks because couriers are all garbage who keep losing poo poo and it's just not a fun time. Also the customers get very whiny about the companies admittedly crap service and assume I can do ANYTHING about it, sometimes trying to use emotional blackmail. The new job would be with the Environmental Agency, so more people reporting fly tipping and helping people apply for fishing licenses and poo poo, which is WAY less stressful.

A few weeks ago I scratched a mole on my back. And it blend pretty well because that happens sometimes. Since then I've managed to scratch open the same thing, or my cat has done it when jumping up onto me and gripping onto the back of my shoulders or my bra strap digs into it to the point that it has grown with an infection.

well, mom's admitted to the hospital again, with a createnine level of 3.8 and in afib. she's already had an ablation, so I don't know if she can have another. but her health episodes are happening more frequently, especially since my stepdad died. this sucks, and always has. at least this time they think that it's just severe dehydration and not a full blown septic infection again, if the tests for that come back negative then she might be able to come back home tomorrow, otherwise she'll probably be in the hospital for another week.

mom is home from the hospital, but is still delirious and talking about her nurses from last night as "going in and out of character as the cameras turned on and off" as if she was on a tv show. I feel like she was hallucinating from the heightened creatinine levels and conflated reality and whatever TV show she had on at the time into a combined memory. she also called me to tell me she was taking a trip with a few other families to an inn out west, and she'd be back in the morning. She's never left her hospital room, of course. and she's been gaslighting me unintentionally with how seriously she's telling me things that are very obviously delusions she had in the hospital; things nurses did(abducted her to a psych ward that doesn't exist, held a gun to her head, etc), places she went(a third hospital ward that she was never in, an inn across the state), etc, and getting real angry when I don't take them at face value. It's been a while since I've had a real hard cry but she brought me real close with some of the stuff she's been saying at home, not scary words themselves, but more that it terrifies me that she won't return to normal. I'm hoping being home and sleeping in her own bed will shake off the "ICU psychosis" I've heard her sitation described as. I decided to get a nice dinner as a celebration of her coming home. so I stopped at my favorite japanese restaurant that we've been going to for something like 20 years now and got a variety of things off the menu, tempura, almond chicken, etc that she loves. I go to pay, and the owner rings me up and says that sadly, this coming sunday is their last day, they're closing up shop. I've feared this day coming for a while now, a big sushi place opened up right across the street from them and they're just a small family-run place, I felt like they'd go out of business super fast with such fierce competition, but they've stayed open many years since then. It's definitely hurt them over time, though, and this just loving sucks so much, and covid hasn't helped them at all either. covid annihilated my favorite chinese food place, and it looks like the lingering harm has taken out my favorite japanese food place too. guess I'll go get something on their final day. maybe ask for some recipes and a memento from the store. gonna miss the hell out of that place, it's been owned by the same folks forever.

Fridge died,* landlord took two days to get me a new one, so I get to replace a batch of groceries. . . while wearing the shoes that I just noticed both have holes in the heels. I have extra-wide feet, so I have to special order them, so no sale prices. And I still haven't even started doing Xmas cards. *Thank goodness for my chest freezer, even if it does mean I don't have roof for a table to eat off of.

A while ago I had Venmo, only used it once. Since then, I changed my phone number. Now I want to use Venmo again, but my Venmo is still attached to my old number, and someone else's Venmo is attached to my current number. After almost two weeks of back-and-forth e-mailing, sending them pictures of my phone bill, my photo ID, they have concluded that there simply is no way to resolve this issue. What's really annoying me about this is, people change their loving numbers all the time. This cannot be the first time they've heard of this issue. This must have been considered when they started the business. Instead of dragging me around for two weeks, they could have just told me, can't help ya, buddy! There was nothing new gained in these two weeks; all the information they requested from me was worthless, and they had to have known this. loving hell, Venmo.

One of my uncles had a heart attack today and I'm not sure he'll make it. My mom told me he coded 6 times already, had to have CPR done multiple times, and was airlifted from the first hospital to a better one almost immediately after getting there. And then also today my GF told me her mom's house flooded and she has no where to live, so we've got to try and find at least a temp place for her She's a legal permanent resident, not a citizen, but is always nervous that "something" will happen when she has to find a new job or living situation that would rescind that. Which I'm not sure is even possible? Her residency status isn't dependent on her job or living situation, as far as I know? But it means a lot more headaches for me GF as her mom calls her like 3 times a day.

Rough-rear end morning in the Poo household. My goonhusband was drinking a lot last night (mostly Asahi and Jäegermeister with Diet Coke) and went to bed at 7am having vomited a little bit while he was brushing his teeth. He fell asleep almost instantly and forgot to take his glasses off. Then at 8:30am he woke up choking on his own vomit in his sleep, ran out into the hallway in a panic trying to get to the bathroom, fell against the wall, banged his head open and landed full force on his right shoulder on the hallway floor. I found him on the ground covered in blood and bile, just sitting there in shock with his glasses in pieces around him. He had no idea why he was on the floor and why I was panicking trying to get him to the bathroom to clean him up. I finally got him alert and off the floor to the bathroom where he very understandably sobered up instantly and we got the blood off him. Turned out the bleeding was from a serious of quite small but deep cuts to his forehead from whatever he hit on the way to the floor, but he now has a pounding headache, a sore shoulder from landing on it, and his only pair of glasses are broken, which he needs to be able to see more than a couple inches in front of him. Today is the first day of his 3 weeks off from work for Christmas. He’s going to spend 3 weeks with a hosed up head and shoulder. Poo In An Alleyway has a new favorite as of 13:05 on Dec 17, 2022 |

It is currently -5F. The high today will be 7F. I'm about to go to work in an open-walled warehouse where I'm not allowed even a space heater. I'm sure my heated blanket will be enough though!!! /S

A hot water pipe has exploded by one of the other buildings in my apartment complex at some point last night. It is around 10-ish degrees right now. There's already a fat slab of ice covering most of that parking lot  I really, really don't fuckin' want to have to take cold showers in Texas wintertime.Also I agreed to go in to work last night because I'm a loving idiot. At least my relief was on time.

Relatively small compared to the last few posts, holy crap, but just found out the small quote unquote surgery to remove a little fatty lump from my back was in fact not in network even though I was told it was, so now I'm owing about 500 bucks for this. I mean the doctor's office told me it was in network not my insurance company, so I guess that's on me.

Can you not then sue the doctors surgery for false / misleading information? Seems like lying about that should be grounds to shake them down in your capitalist dystopia.

It was only done verbally so I doubt it. poo poo now a bill for the followup. Now at $600 loving hell. I feel like such a loving idiot. I asked, the clinic said they accepted it, now I imagine this is one of those legal loopholes of "we accept it but the insurance company won't cover it." I've emailed the clinic but holiday weekend, you know. I did try to pay at least part of the bill and Cigna says the payment system is down.

I got frostbite on my ears 3 days ago, and they're only now finally starting to hurt. They didn't loving hurt when they were literally freezing, it was -30C/-22F and they felt pretty much normal. They were massively swollen and red and hot until this evening. I'm extremely annoyed that I can tune out discomfort and pain dangerously well. It's legit not good if it means accidentally risking freezing your body parts off.

We got Christmas off even though being a jew and an orthodox christian, ain't no celebrations going on. My mom demands we go visit for the holiday even though none of us celebrate anyway. So in an hour and a half, peace, nice day off, it's drive time. Two days off hosed driving from New Orleans to Dallas and back. Mom, you better buy me so much food. You better change your granddaughters' diapers. Get ready. There's a lot could have been done just having two days to chill. Edgar Allen Ho has a new favorite as of 14:09 on Dec 24, 2022 |

I got COVID. It's a goddamn Christmas miracle.The good thing is that I'm also positive for strep! What, me, an asthmatic and sufferer of chronic bronchitis, worry?

Sister and husband did everything they could to check to see if their flight was still on. Took an expensive taxi in dangerous conditions. Checked their luggage and got through security. Boarding time comes and the flight is cancelled due to lack of pilot. I know things are a mess but gently caress you Westjet. gently caress you into the ground this holiday season

My in-laws didn't want us to bring anything for XMAS but then changed their minds this morning to make it a potluck. I had to drive to the store in freezing rain, the store was completely packed and I dropped my keys in one of the many huge puddles in the flooded parking lot. Got the keys back but the fob is shorted out, so I can't use the remote functions.

They replaced all their ground crew with cheaper labour, who don't make enough to stand outside in -30 for 10 hours, so they just don't. There's been huge issues of planes piling up on the apron this winter with no one to guide them to their gates or unload their bags. Just Westjet planes, all the others are fine because their staff still make enough to make showing up worthwhile. Numbers I saw are Air Canada ranges $25-$30 an hour, Westjet is $17. "Wahwahwah nobody wants to work anymore" Yeah, because work isn't worth doing anymore.
