Got my college results in the mail yesterday. Sent a photo of them into our class group's WhatsApp group chat. They all saw the message; only one person responded. I've been feeling super detached from everyone in the class group since Easter since I started moving house and had less time to go into college. It just feels like there's another WhatsApp group chat that they all have that I'm not in. They all meet up for drinks (one of them posts videos and photos of it on Instagram) and I don't get invited anymore. On top of that, a good few of us got conditional offers to a top-up college in England, but it's looking like mine and my husband's finances have been decimated so much by moving house that I won't be able to afford to go to the new college anymore. So now that it's looking like I'd have the full offer but no money to go, I'll be even more isolated from people on the course.

I have a camera crew job tomorrow morning halfway up the country. Today I woke up feeling super rundown with a sore throat and achy joints. It’s too little notice to pull out of the job or find a replacement and I need the money, but I’m really not looking forward to being sick as a dog tomorrow during the 8-hour car ride

Goonhusband and I had booked a GoCar for 3 days so we could go to a wedding tomorrow where he’s the best man. Went to collect the car from the collection point at 6pm, only to see on the booking app that the car is 50 kilometers away and isn’t moving. Booking app has no button for ‘where the gently caress is my car?’ so I have to phone their help desk, which from previous experience over the last year has not been a good one. Calls to their help desk either don’t go through at all or you’re left waiting on hold after dregging through dozens of options to find the ‘I wanna talk to a human’ option. After 9 attempts to get through, I was left on hold for 45 minutes without ever getting through to someone. No staff, no answer (app says the help desk is open until 10pm but I’m calling bullshit on that). Cancelled the booking, and now goonhusband and I have to get the bus AND a taxi to the wedding venue and back again for almost double the price of the booked car.

This sounds like either psoriasis or folliculitis. I’m not a doctor but I’ve had both of these conditions despite moisturising and everything short of pouring a bucket of water over my head every 15 minutes.

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 |

Messaged into the group chat last week for my former classmates from college that the first anniversary of our lecturer passing away is tomorrow so hey maybe we should meet up for drinks to have a toast to him or something and just generally catch up. Not one response. Not one loving response.

People I was in college with for 2 years only contact me when they need me to do them a favour. They all keep in touch with each other and meet up for drinks and to work with each other all the time, and lucky me I get to see it on their Instagram stories, but they only message me to promote a film they all made together that I wasn't involved in. I used to reply to their stories if something piqued my interest, then I realised over the year since the course finished that I never got any responses from any of them ever, none of them ever messaged me about anything I posted, and basically all contact between us was one-sided. So I gave up. Now 2 of them have messaged me independently in the last week asking me to either promote a festival that one of them was involved in, or to edit an IMDB film credit that's already there to begin with. https://www.tiktok.com/embed/6872168882656808197

I'm probably gonna lose a filming gig I have booked for Saturday next week. I and 2 guys knew about it a month ago, the band who hired us for a job in July told us what date this gig was gonna be on way back at the end of August. All 3 of us knew it was gonna be the last Saturday in September. Now the 2 guys are saying they didn't know and won't be available for it. I can't do this gig alone; there needs to be one stationery wide camera that'll need someone to maintain, one roving on-stage camera person that'll also keep an eye on the drummer's camera, and one roving camera in front of the stage capturing the individual band members performing. I don't get filming jobs very often cuz almost nobody I was in film school with even talks to me anymore and they all hire each other for jobs whether or not they're actually good at what they're being hired to do, so I have to find the jobs myself. Now it's looking like I have nothing.

I've had to go on strike for the week from any cleaning and food shopping to convince my husband to do literally anything around the apartment. I'm fed up of getting up every morning, cleaning all the plates and cutlery that he used the previous night and didn't clean, throwing out all the trash packaging from food he ate and didn't bin, then going to the supermarket to buy all the food we both need, putting it all away without his help, and putting away all the dried plates and cutlery, then going to bed only for the cycle to repeat the next day. This is coupled with me being the only one who takes out all the trash, does any of the clothes washing, all the cleaning around the apartment, buying anything that we're running out of (toilet paper, cleaning supplies, pastas, pasta sauces, milk etc.) before we run out of them instead of doing what he does which is wait until it's already gone then wait for me to get it instead out of frustration etc. This has been going on for months; I've asked him nicely to help me out so I don't feel like I'm the one doing everything in the apartment to prevent it from looking like a pig-sty, but he always does the same thing: he apologizes, does the thing I asked him to do once, then continues to not do it ever again so once again it falls to me to do it all. I told him this morning that I won't be doing any cleaning or upkeep or food shopping until Monday next week. I'm sick of this; I'm sick of him being able to get up in the morning to find that magically all the plates and cups he used the night beforehand are clean and put away, all the trash he left lying around has walked its way independently to the bins, and all the food he ate has magically been restocked without him putting in any effort whatsoever.

A couple months ago my best friends uninvited me for Christmas dinner. I normally go to their place on Christmas Day while my husband goes to his parents' place because I don't have family to spend the day with (my parents are not good people and my siblings are not much better). This year they told me they want to invite her father and sister over instead of me, and I'll admit that I was kinda relieved because I've felt like the vibes have been way the gently caress off between us for the better part of a year. I went to their place tonight with Christmas presents for them and their kids, and they gave me the gift they got me. I try my level best to not be materialistic but in this instance, (this is a trend with them very clearly getting a gift for me at the last minute) I got them a tarot deck designed by Winslow Dumaine that cost about €70 including shipping from the US to Ireland. The gifts I got for their kids cost a little over €100. They got me a deck of cards that cost €6 (I frequently shop at the store they got it from), with a restaurant voucher inside (no idea how much it's even for) for a chain restaurant right around the corner from the shop. I think I'm done feeling like a hasty afterthought to them. I'd rather spend every Christmas alone now.

I just discovered that a short film I was hired as a producer and location manager on last summer (director and the other 2 crew members went completely radio-silent in the production’s WhatsApp group chat last September) was shot at the end of last month and nobody working on the production told me about it.
