Work's sending me out of state for training next month. My roommate graciously has volunteered to watch my kid while I'm gone, so that's a stress that's gone. Work's sending me with the employee I have weirdness with, which is a new stress.

Literally A Person posted:Separate rooms or one room with two beds? I don't actually have an itinerary yet. I was just notified of this today, along with a long meeting about how I felt about flying, and if I had any credit card fraud in my history. Then we started talking about how I've actually lived in a large city before(the one I'm going to, in fact), unlike most of my coworkers, and the fact that everyone assumed I was 10 years younger until they pulled my file for flight-booking purposes. Probably separate, though, as that's how it has been on training trips in the past. One time, a coworker went with the head manager, and as soon as they arrived at the hotel, the manager requested a room change to the opposite side of the building as the hourly employee, which didn't see sus at all, let me tell you.

My colleagues guilted me into going to work on my last day rather than skip out so I can get a coffee with them and have a nice goodbye. Since yesterday was so hectic. Ugh.

Boss is still playing games with me. Dropped complicated work in my lap that isn’t too bad on my end but is a headache to deal with and won’t be resolved in one day. Maybe she’s just extremely out of touch? But I think it’s a combo of that and absolute pettiness.

One of my coworkers has always operated in a stressful hell of her own creation in an attempt to performatively martyr herself at every opportunity but it's gotten 10x as worse now that we're interviewing internally to fill a position directly above her. She spends hours loudly bitching about how much work she has to whoever she can trap in her cube, and when she can't do that, she comes by our cubes on thin pretenses to do the same. Also goes on and on about how she's put in the time and deserves the promotion (She's been here less than a year and in the industry for 4 years total, she just means she's 45 and still in an entry level position). Either she's going to get the promotion and every pretense of personal and professional boundaries will disappear or she won't and she might legitimately break down. This job is all she has going on in her life (no family, friends or hobbies) and she's been putting in 75 hour weeks unprompted and unauthorized (in local government, lol) for the past three months in order to move up. This entire workplace would be so loving chill and productive without her. Dazerbeams posted:Boss is still playing games with me.

I’m still not free even though I said my goodbyes and shook hands with my witch boss. She still hasn’t approved my time card yet even though it was submitted yesterday as part of my exit interview. I don’t know how much of an issue this is, but it’s just another sign of how rotten and wretched she is. Is she going to make me burn half a vacation day for skipping out early? Or is she just loving around with me? She’s also hoping to replace my 6+ years of experience and long term goals of staying in this field with someone who has absolutely no experience and a definite plan to move on in 1-2 years. So lol on that. Riatsala posted:Been following your saga and my sincere sympathies. I'm lucky to have bosses that don't suck. Thanks. I’m moving into a new position at the start of the new year and my future boss is already a world of difference in just the way he emails his people. That and his manager was practically glowing about the job even when she wasn’t talking about him directly gives me hope. I’m getting a promotion and a raise and a chance at respect. What more can anyone ask for?

I gotta sleep on the couch tonight for reasons and my dog is laying on the couch too, like she usually does, and she is absolutely going to town cleaning her rear end in a top hat. It's astonishing just how loud the process is. loving norovirus swept through the house the past couple days so i missed a couple days of work and hadn't slept great, and my poor dog had some sort of allergic reaction or something going on with her teats and b hole, but we couldn't make it to her vet appointment because of a big snowstorm. It's cleared up for the most part, her red swollen nipples and anus, but i think it's still kinda itchy cause holy poo poo she's going tongue bonkers all over her lower extremities. It's really loud and im trying to sleep.

Trying to get any kind of dialogue going was like trying to get blood from a stone. Dating sucks rear end sometimes.

Part of me wants to complain about all the apps and how they make it easy to decide “well, that was good but maybe if I keep swiping I’ll find better”, but I did meet my last girlfriend on Tinder. It’s all just a pain in the rear end, a lot of first and maybe second dates but nothing more.

Tread is about half gone, so I either buy a single new tire and have half its tread shaved or replace everything a couple years earlier than I figured.

Found out today that my mom's dog is gonna have to be euthanized in the next few days. He's almost 13, and last year the vet found a big growth on his liver. Given his age (and the cost of surgery/chemo), mom opted not to have anything done. And the little guy came home and was normal as could be. Then a week ago, he stopped eating his normal portions and coughing. Mom took him to the vet today, and they said it's spread to his lungs and he likely won't make it the next week. It loving sucks. We had to euthanize the other dog in 2016, like 2 months after my dad died. And while we knew this was coming, it still feels like a kick in the chest. I'm going to my mom's tomorrow to spend an evening with him. Hug your dogs and cats, goons.

We're taking the dog for euthanizing tomorrow afternoon so it'll be a lovely start to the weekend, but it's better than the guy suffering anymore. Plus I really don't want him to die overnight and my mom wake up to a dead dog Really frustrated over it because I got bombed with messages about taking care of my mom, and this always gets dumped on me cuz everyone else moved away. But nobody ever asks if I'm ok or need something, and I feel like I don't have a chance to grieve when poo poo like this happened because everyone expects me to handle all the fuckin decisions. It boils up a lot when this stuff happens, and it's been that way since my dad died. I should prob go to a therapist and sort it out, but I always put it on the back burner cuz I get busy

Seriously feel free to hit me up, a stranger on the internet, if you need an ear. If you think a therapist is a good idea though you should do it. Try to focus on taking care of yourself though.

Voluntarily ending a life of another creature you have a connection to - and them having a close connection to you - it's always hard. Ending their life because extending their life could possibly bankrupt you always hurts you even more. If only you had a nice job, better income and more money to spend in order to add a few years to their life... and remember that time is subjective; a year to them is far longer than a year is to you... The other option is forcing them to end their life in complete agony until death. In those situations I always say that their life in the wild, in the natural habitat would actually be far, far worse. They would have died by now. Let them go, and don't waste time in waiting to adopt a new one because there are always ones out there that need you in order to survive. But I'm only human - the day I put my pet to sleep and bury their body - holy gently caress do I drink myself crazy. Scrotum Modem fucked around with this message at 01:32 on Jan 24, 2020 |

I think it's worth having pets but inevitably it's gonna get sad when they go.

I loving hate my managers and my job, so much poo poo falls to me and my co-workers because people don't want to deal with problems themselves, then when we act we get in trouble for doing something outside our job. I've just been stood down because I got pulled away from my job because someone was feeling unwell and possibly needing an ambulance, did I do everything perfect in how I helped that person? No, but I was the only person there who called for the emergency services and tried to help the person. Then I get a call from my supervisor who can't even face me and tells me I've been stood down for what I did and I'm having a meeting the next day. Well I barely make it home without breaking down, contact my union who said "lol no" they needed to actually give me a form spelling out why I've been stood down, and the meeting shouldn't take place within 24hrs of getting the letter. Bouncing between horribly and anxiety wondering if I still have a job.

Week of training in Chicago with a coworker (where there's weirdness between us) is over, and on the one hand we pushed past the weirdness, but on the other hand we pushed past the weirdness by both becoming absolutely livid at discovering how much of the day-to-day operations we're doing completely loving wrong.
