Besesoth posted:I've had bronchitis all week and can't get an appointment with my doctor until Monday. I'm completely useless and missing work. I've started ubering to the hospotal/ urgent care whenever I need to get because a) ambulance always take some me to the shittiest hospital within a 10 mile radius and b) uber is $20 and an ambulance ride is at LEAST $300 Recently I got some really nasty cuts, doc said one apparently hit a vein because it would NOT stop bleeding. Had to uber myself to the urgent care. The problem with UCs is that they mostly employ the doctors that were at the bottom of their class. The stitches closed up the wounds but they left giant red scars because the doc didn't do the stitches properly. I had to get stitches before and I couldn't see the scar now if I tried. Oh yeah and recently my health issues flared up which is cool (sarcasm) because I've been missing a lot of work. Luckily I'm not fired yet but who knows.

Checked myself into the hospital because I had a horrible panic attack and I feel like a total dumbass. It wasn't necessary at all. Then I had another one IN the hospital cause they said they might want to keep me there cause my heart rate was a little elevated so they had to give me Ativan and Valium. I just feel really, really stupid for going to an ER for a loving panic attack. I also spent $30 on uber to get there because the hospitals around me are loving terrible, so I have to go to the suburbs to go to a good hospital, and I don't have a job so I shouldn't be spending ANY money. But I HAD to use uber because an ambulance will only take me to the horrible crackhead-filled hospital with TERRIBLE doctors that's down the street from me. I asked the EMTs once if they could take me to a different one.but they say protocol says no. Plus now I'm going to get thousands of dollars of doctors bills, hooray!

I got electrocuted by pulling out a cord from an outlet--one of those "safe" ones with the safety trip switches or whatever. The plug was like 2" away from the outlet and it arced. Got a nice shock. My arm and hand are still numb and this was 3 hours ago. Whoever installed and/or repaired the lovely wiring in my building, thanks, I could have died!  Update: got a nice electrical burn, it's just forming now. Yay. Update 2: I thought maybe it was just the item so I just 1/2 hour ago plugged in a different item, used it, then pulled it and BAM! Giant blue spark!  luckily this time it was one of those big rear end 3 pronged adapters so I didn't get shocked but maaaan. My blister is pouring out liquid nicely, and my hand and arm feel mostly normal now. Gonna contact some people ASAP. Thin Privilege has a new favorite as of 09:36 on Dec 6, 2017 |

Eh it's been almost 15 hours and I'm still alive. I do have 2 little burns on the side of my finger but they're not significant. Plus like I said in a previous post the hospital nearby sucks and I don't have another $30 to spend on uber, AND I was at the good ER yesterday and had to get a bunch of anti-anxiety meds so they'd REALLY think I was a drug seeker. They'd just give me a bandaid cause I'm in the ER relatively often for various reasons so they very likely don't believe me about anything anyways. Also $$$,  , etc. In any case, if I die, I'll leave an ugly corpse  Oh and there's no way to shut off that outlet because of said lovely wiring. I can't remember exactly what it is but it's something ridiculous like the stove is connected to the a/c outlet and one of the two outlets in a bedroom is connected to the fridge outlet. One, not both. Also, asbestos wire insulation. Good old asbestos. OOOh and one of the circuit breakers is so hard to move to shut it off that one time I had to call a maintenance guy to do it, and even he had trouble moving the thing. Someone also drilled a hole in one of them where it shouldn't be. Living in a death trap. Good times. Thin Privilege has a new favorite as of 09:53 on Dec 6, 2017 |

Turns out the fire extinguisher on my floor is LOCKED IN A BOX WITH A KEY. So if my wonderful electrocutioning socket sets on fire I'll have to wait like 15 or more minutes until some maintenance guy comes with a key. If they even have one. And knowing them they'd just call 911, AFTER me calling the front desk, which would take even longer. If I had access to the thing the fire would be out. E: yes I can call 911 myself but the front desk people are going to be difficult with the firemen, and they'd call me to confirm or some poo poo. E: I guess I can smash the glass open, unless it's some special glass that you can't break, like a car windshield. Plus there's the risk of hitting the extinguisher. Ugh I know how to use one and I currently and very mad at my old rear end garbage building. They shut off the water for TWELVE HOURS to fix some pipes. I know it's necessary to replace them because they are super old but it was a very smelly inconvenience (toilet no work). E3: omg fire extinguishers are so expensive. Guess I'll just die once again

It keeps people from stealing them or setting them off for fun. There's no sign saying "break in case of fire." I wouldn't be surprised if the glass doesn't even break or it's actually plastic or something. ryonguy posted:As far as I know, that's a straight-up firecode violation and you should ah hell who am I kidding your company doesn't give a poo poo and neither does the local municipality that probably relies on them for the lion share of their tax base.

Elizabethan Error posted:it's also a violation of OSHA's regulations re: extinguishers. contact them and make your landlord their problem Hmmm good idea. I'll look into that. I'm 99.9% sure the extinguisher has just been attached to the wall for ever and this is a super new thing. It's a nice building so they shouldn't be worried about loving fire extinguisher theft. E: was googling locked fire extinguisher cabinets and the one in my building doesn't look like any of the ones online. It's probably just some random Home Depot shelf.

I do want to mention that my apartment is clean as hell and the stairwell is 5 feet from my door so I can escape within seconds of something DOES happen, and I also have smoke and carbon monoxide alarms in all rooms. So if anything happens I can escape with ease. I am; however, going to get fire extinguishers installed in all the rooms.

I just literally got a burn show up near my wrist despite not having being electric burned since my last post. The front of my arm hurts when I move it, especially the place around it. Whoever said burns can take 72 hours to show up was right. My forearm past the middle to the front hurts when I move it. Really weird. Left hand is more numb than the right when I like, compare them by moving them around, like just rotating them in a fun circle. I haven't had any heart issues as far as I know so that's good.

Another update: talked to my electrician bf who explained there's an entry and exit wound, which appears to be true because of that blister burn on my finger and some red mark on my left arm that looks like a scratch but isn't. Apparently there's another one on my forearm, and I have a big scar there that was pink but now is bright loving red. He also said that from this all I'll probably get some nerve damage, if anything. The numbness in my arm is gone but below my wrist on my arm feels weird, not like a pulled muscle, it's like, internal. Electricity sucks. I got 2 fire extinguishers today so I'm happy now.

My manager wrote me up for some dumb thing which everyone else has done multiple times and they’ve never been written up. Also, she was saying poo poo like “you’re not a manager you don’t tell people what to do” and I’m not gonna get into the story but what she said is 100% bullshit. My work is full of drama and cliques that chose someone to bully. She was mean to me all day and was angry that I asked her to leave at 2:45 (when I was scheduled to leave at 2:00) cause I had a vet appointment. She didn’t say bye to me. I don’t know what the gently caress but apparently her boss is gonna talk to me tomorrow when I’m reality I did nothing wrong. I know that these two other people are starting drama and I think she’s mad cause her boss likes me. It is also possible that she had PMS but like, don’t let that affect you. Ugh

There were other employees there, she didn’t need me. She’s been all drama to me recently and was soooo rude and mean to me talking down to me like I was mentally incapacitated . I felt like poo poo. Today was especially bad. Drama is poo poo but on the plus side I stood up for myself and took my cat to the vet and got her her medicine. gently caress drama, but still sucks to be talked to like I’m mentally incapacitated.

Getting a job was supposed to be the easy part, fuckdammit! Can’t you ask your doctor for an emergency supply?

I apparently haven’t been paid the right salary for about a month; my GM is trying to get me back pay but it sucks and I don’t even know if they’re gonna do It—give me the money they owe me. In addition, I physically had to go into the system and change my salary to the CORRECT ONE so it reflected on payroll cause they didn’t even do that when she realized what was wrong!!! My gm didn’t even know that she had to do that  I want my goddamn back pay. And if they give me ANY poo poo about the overtime I’ve worked (overtime=baaaaaad) well maybe you should fix this location so I don’t have to work 10hr over time every week. I’m probably gonna get written up for this massive amount of overtime, lol. I should be paid way more and promoted cause I know/do more than everyone else but I think the area manager is scared of me cause I point out poo poo he does wrong in my nightly emails (I don’t say his name, I just say “x is still broken” and that’s something he should have fixed but hasn’t been). So he’s just nasty and mean to me. So many people at my job are mad, it’s crazy.

I forgot that they’re spraying for bugs this week. I had meant to clean up the bras and random junk laying around in my apartment but my brain is broken so I forgot and plus I’ve been crazy busy with work. It’s not like a horder apartment, it’s just a bit messy, but messy enough that I’m embarrassed. In any case the bug guys came in and I am very embarrassed. They also opened the door to my bedroom to see me, having just woken up, disheveled, drowsily saying, “hello?.” They probably thought I was gonna kill them cause they didn’t even lock the door when they left.I guess I look so hideous that people just run away Also I am worried they didn’t do the spraying, but I did hear my cabinets opening. They have always left a note but I didn’t get one this time. So did they spray for bugs?

Oh my loving god. One of the other managers hosed up massively and the area manager hates me for some reason so I guess he assumed I do the same poo poo so he shows up at 9:30 (we close at 10) and we’re doing closing procedures a bit early like EVERY OTHER STORE IN THIS COMPANY INCLUDING THE AREA MANAGERS BEST FRIEND so he proceeds to throw poo poo around and prevent us from doing anything until 10pm. I tried to hold it in but I was so pissed I went up to him and told him that EVERYONE does this and he is just silent like he always does to me when I say anything to him cause he hates me. He spent the whole night texting, talking down to a good employee (who, when rear end in a top hat left, said she’s putting in her 2 weeks notice tomorrow), then left right at 10 without even bothering to help us clean. The staff usually get out at 10:20/10:30 and I get out at 11:00 cause I’m the manager and I have lots of paperwork to do, but today the poor staff got out at 11:30! And the girl who’s gonna quit lives 2 hours away in a lovely neighborhood. I took a loving uber home and my cats were STARVING. Also I just left most of the paperwork on the desk and I’m just gonna say “oops I forgot” cause guck if I’m gonna stay till 12:30 and even if I did stay they would just edit my hours for like, “didn’t work fast enough” or some poo poo. Also, this rear end in a top hat doesn’t believe that I have health issues and refused to look at my medical papers when I offered them because ??? But I swear to Cat God that if they fire me or even cut my hours cause of my heath issues (I recently missed a bunch of days cause I had GODDAMN SEIZURES) I’m going to a loving lawyer.
