The Venting Thread

2nd day at the new job and I do something stupid and hurt myself.

I bent over to pick something up and when I was straightening back up, I banged right into a big pole. Hard. Got a nasty bump on my head and chipped my freakin' tooth! Ugh. Kill me now! I have the worst head ache!

My dad slipped, tearing his ACL, causing him to be off of work for 3 years, on his first day of his last job.

It could be worse! LOL




Sorry, that sucks Hope your headache goes away!

Thanks, it could definitely be worse. At least my tooth didn't fall it. It feels like the whole front of my tooth is gone but it's just a tiny chip.

My brother has tumors on his lungs. He goes in for some tests, I'm hoping they are benign.

I'm sorry It's extremely frustrating to be judged so thoroughly based on stereotypes of a profession. I hate telling Zach's coworkers I'm a teacher--without fail, the response is, "Oh, that's cute", "It must be nice to have 3+ months off each year", or "I wish I could have a job with such a nice schedule."

Guess what, asshats--you can. If my job is so amazing that you think I play games from 8-3 and then go home and nap until dinner, why don't you go get a masters degree, cut your pay in half, and work the same hours with no respect?

Thank you. <3

Teachers schedules suck. My roommate is a teacher - it's hard, it's thankless, and you get paid nothing for your efforts. The 3 months of summer it cool, but you need to have a part time job to manage it financially, IMO. She works way more than 8-3 and has tons of teacher workdays.

Just punch them in the face.

I get that a lot and once I started asking "Remember when you said..." And "but you told me...", things got better. I don't lie to customers, but I won't take the sh*t they try and pull on me anymore. Oddly enough, sales have gotten better since doing that.

It's a thankless job for the most part, that's for sure. I think you get it worse being at a luxury brand.

It really does help. It's just awkward. And this is coming from queen of not recognizing awkward moments.

I got my exam results yesterday and I didn't do well enough to go back to school for my final year. I have no one to blame but myself, but I'm completely gutted that I'm going to miss my senior year at school.

I'm tired of every idiot trying to claim a sable dog is a wolf or coyote mix.

Trying to find a place around here that isn't either super expensive or in the middle of a crack neighborhood is HARD. The one place I really liked rented the same day the listing was put up.

 

[Equinox]

Wow.

New house is still under repairs (leaks are apparently just "popping up" everywhere now?? and carpets still haven't been replaced, and roof needs fixing?) so it turns out I have to stay at the old house a month later than I had planned. Another month's worth of rent. And my roommate is short on money and asked me to cover for this month.

Ugh. Why does this happen?

 

[Laurelin]

I decided to try to cook lunch from a cookbook I found. It's a BBQ roast with veggies. Smells lovely. But in the recipe it said it needed 35 minutes to cook, however it's now 1 hour later and the veggies are not cooke through enough and the roast is raw in the middle still. Wah. I'm hungry.

I seriously don't even know why I talk to my sister. Every time I think things have changed she goes right back to how it used to be and it doesn't work and it's insanely frustrating. Ugh.

That's scary hope it all turns out benign!

I was looking forward to getting all my split ends chopped off today but apparently not. Looking through my hair now, there's still tonnes of split ends and ends that are about to break off. A silly thing maybe, but I'm not impressed and will probably end up attempting some sort of trim tonight or tomorrow.

I go through the same thing with my mother.

Deleted because it was meant for the good news thread.

I just had hundreds of ants fall on me when I went to pull open the stage door (remote broke). Input my car in late last night and I guess in a few hours an ant colony decided to take over? I tracked them from the tree in my front yard. There's a steady line of them from the tree to my garage door. So killing them all now.

Gross

My power steering pump is too big for the bracket. Why.

 

[Lyzelle]

I've been sick all week and unable to really do much of anything.

So now I'm not sick and it is the weekend. So I feel worthless and antsy and I need to do something. But there isn't anything for me to do except relax or enjoy myself.

And this is such a foreign idea to me. There is nothing to cook, nothing to clean, no one to take care of, no job to go to....I am going to go insane.

 

[RedHotDobe]

Filed ps pump down to wedge into bracket. Ps pump turns out to not be the source of the squeaking. All that effort only to fail. The squeaking better shut up so I can pass tech and get on the track tomorrow.

Thank You. He can use all the good thoughts he can possibly get.

I'm going to go visit him next weekend. He goes in on the 20th to do the tests.

I am dating a marine, people expect me to be all patriotic and proud and like YEEHAW for this country and his job.
but sometimes I look at him in his uniform and can't help but feel a strange and shameful combination of pride for what he has accomplished, and total and complete resentment for everything it stands for.
and I'm so ashamed by it.

I love the experiences that created who he is.. and a bit part of that is his job. So I'm thankful for that. I know what he does is important, so that's great.

but I resent the distance. the missed events. the sleeping alone. the happy days, the sad days, the missed movies, the time difference.. just.. all of it. I resent that the person I love comes with the BAGGAGE of this lifestyle I'm supposed to be on board with.
and by proxy, I resent the job. The uniform.
I'm supposed to like it, you know? It's supposed to make me feel like eagles and freedom and happy thoughts and serving this country..girls seem to like it. I've seen blogs where people write things like "He's my hero" and "true love wears combat boots" "Love a marine.."

I just don't and I feel so..ashamed by it. Because he LOVES his job and I do love that he loves what he does and that he's so passionate and I support him 100%
I just see him in that uniform sometimes and want him to change.
and he talks about wearing his dress blues to our wedding if we get married someday and every fiber of my being says no. I want to marry you. I DONT NEED ANOTHER REMINDER THAT YOUR JOB IS ALWAYS AROUND.

I am proud of him.. It's just so confusing.

It makes me feel guilty.. like maybe a girl who loves the job would be better for him.
