Vent Thread

Generally when a thread is locked, it isn't a good idea to continue the same line of discussion elsewhere. Speaking generally. About nothing specific. Generally.

Sister: dad has internal bleeding. What do we do if he dies?
Me: Funeral, burial, transfers. Take care of mom.
Sister: A, I'm serious. Why can't you be more serious?
Me: S***. I'll have to update my clearance paperwork...
Sister: You are a cold b**ch.
Me: Crap. Most of my military references are deceased.
Sister: this is dad!
Me: fine having a going away party and that's the final offer.
Sister: stupid b***ch.

My wife is laughing at my humor. What a day this is.

 

[Luxibutt]

Today is just a roller coaster of ups, down, and thrown for loops.
Wife tells me how wet I am (post shower innuendo) and we need cuddle time because raining. Then notified dad had stroke. Then notified close family friend went into labor early so her newborn is in NICU. Son hurts leg. Wife's mom and family are on vacay and sending gorgeous pics back. my mom going crazy. dad overnighting in hospital with minimal insurance. My work insurance is pushing back on paying for glasses. Finally get everything planned and stable, area starts flooding and i get a panic attack.

I love chaos, but good lord this is a lot at once!

Wow, I'm sorry that's happening to you. That's a lot to take in especially mentally.

My violent, selfish, and psychotic drug addict brother attempted suicide I guess.

The toaster wasn't working right, so I have to warm up my Waffle in the microwave and it wasn't as good as it usually is.

Boss: She's the engineer on this project, so you may want to go easy.
Pilot: that time of month?
Boss: your funeral.

Trash everywhere, in the small parks across the street, on the side of the road, there's even vegan vagrants judging by the packagings left scattered in a few particular bushes; that or they're just regular assholes who happen to also be vegan, and will go to Hell regardless

Also they've made the bus lane in one big avenue much wider, not enough for two buses to pass but ostensibly to reduce the number of car lanes. It makes life easier for absolutely no one, and less convenient for most, but apparently that doesn't matter to these out of touch dipshits!

This city keeps finding new creative ways to be a bullshit

My mom has been a real fucking bitch lately. She wants all the money I'm making with commissions yet she screams at me when I want to work on them. I'm getting really tired of her shit. I don't want to give her a dime but she threatens to take my belongings.

i don't know what's bringing this on, but i miss my uncle. it was totally out of nowhere when my mom phoned and told me he passed away. we had to clean his place out, that was the only time i've ever saw my father falter like that. he didn't want to go down into the basement where it happened, there wasn't a fucking chance i'd let him go alone so we went together. it was the exposed floor joists in the laundry room where he tied the noose, there was still blood. his roommate was the one that saw him, the last time i saw her was when i was a kid, she took me to mcdonald's; i'd always wondered how she'd been. he had a hard life, a very hard life, but damn... my grandma didn't wait too much longer after him from cancer.. she outlived him. i cannot handle family dying, fuck.

Eh, it's not easy, but my condolences. For me, it helps to remember the good times you had with them and maybe reach to other people they were close with to get to know them and help them out with their grief; I think it's easier to deal with the loss of someone you love with others, whether it's friends, family, or other loved ones.

It's also important to spend all time you have with the people you care about who are still alive since you never know how much they, or you, have left either.

Time to start working on moving out.

Yep, it's going to be hard, yes it's going to cost money that you probably don't have right now, and yes your mother will probably feel some sort of way about you just leaving her.

But it's gotta happen because that relationship sounds beyond toxic.

Why do all of the anti vaxers and conspiracy theorists connect to my line? Please. Just go back to talking about your bill!

I swear to god if she's funneling it to him...

That's not a good situation, though if she is paying all the expenses, she is entitled something towards rent.

Moving out is the long-term solution, but maybe negotiating with her about paying a portion of what you make might calm things down. If you're covering all your expenses and some of the rent, though, then she could ease up.

Sorry about your brother.

Physical Therapy - I had surgery on my right little finger for Dupuytren's Contracture on the 4th of this month. Now the bandages are gone and the splint is off so consequently, I have to do PT on that finger to get it moving properly again. The odd issue is that my finger feels tight on the extensor tendon, the back of the finger. Anyway, I'm glad to have what movement I have at the moment but I hope it gets better with time and therapy. Another possible source of immobility may be the slight swelling in that finger, making the skin tight.

I would post or link to an image but I don't want to be accused of posting gore. Yeah, it looks that bad.

Oh well, eleven more appointments.

 

[Bababooey]

I'm frequently under the impression that no one cares about my feelings. It makes me wanna leave or tell people off because I'm not good at managing my emotions.

Any time I get a negative reaction to anything I do I feel shot down and it ruins my mood for a while. I feel like people see me as a nobody. Lower class.

Logically I know it's not that deep (probably), but the pain is still there and I feel like I'm going to boil over at any moment.

I'm really tired of my autistic bullshit. I don't know who I dislike more: Myself or other people.

Been looking for a job that's better than what I have but I've never been able to get an interview.

Been working as a courtesy clerk for 3 months and I hate this job. I wasn't expecting to get a good job right away in this economy, even with my Bachelor's Degree in English, but I'm still really disappointed.

IT and medical fields are really where the money is right now, but even then, no one is really hiring. It is very much still a just in time economy, so the emphasis is on having multiple skills with actually very little to no experience.

 

[Fallowfox]

Regards the above discussion, I am pretty good at securing and performing in job interviews.
Unfortunately I think the type of job experience I have is very different to what you're looking for @TidesofFate , so I am not sure whether my advice is transferable.

It could be useful if you post an anonymised version of your résumé, and describe what sort of positions you are applying for.
If you are keen to learn new skills (assuming you weren't taught this in your Bachelor's), then LaTeX can be a useful platform for typesetting professional documents.

@Kellan Meig'h I hope you heal well from the surgery.

Tried getting your hands a little dirty and working in a more physically demanding job if possible? Like driving forklifts, Logistics, welding, construction or the like. People with such experiences and qualifications are always needed and always in demand.

Aww, poor old man. Muttcat traveled very poorly (would soil himself in the carrier from stress unless I brought him in fasting) and most years required sedation to draw blood because he was bitey. Best guess is he learned to be quite so stressed out by travel from his mom, who was abandoned in a carrier so had every reason to be traumatized.

When I lived in an apartment, my landlord had his species listed as "Mancoon" rather than Maine Coon. XD

Aww... sorry to hear about your kitty's traumatic experience. Mine has never liked the carrier either. At least not for the first few miles. After that, he often calms down and sleeps. The vet is recommending that I give him a mild sedative before the appointment, as he tried to scratch them last time.

When coworkers get too comfortable and start revealing how ignorant they are...

"They're disabled so they don't think like we do..."

Oof.
Big oof.
That's not...
No...

Imma ask my manager about this one.

 

[Xitheon]

I love German shepherds and Dobermans and Cane Corsos and Rottweilers and bull terriers and Belgian Mallies but I am not very experienced with dogs and I don't think I could ever raise one. Especially since I love the "scary" and potentially dangerous breeds that need obedience training and shit.

I get on better with cats. That's something I guess.

It's an area of concern, for sure.

Good of you to pick it up.
