I still don't understand WHY but my job is just pushing m nerves.
I have 5 years experience as a manager at various places, I come with letters of recommendations, I'm one of the more reliable people, I am a beacon of knowledge to anyone who needs help, I'm cross trained nearly everywhere, already have my serv-safe......why did they choose a teenager who has 0 experience, is bad at communicating, doesn't do her job, argues with her staff, literally tells them to shut up in front of customers, is overall a bad example, and the days she's not a manager she doesn't understand when I say "she needs to set an example" when she's doing something very immature only to be met with "well I'm not the manager today so it doesn't count" LIKES YES IT DOES.

Many back of house employees have complained about her immature ass. When they found out I was passed over, they were so bitter. She even said she wants to quit but the GM wont let her. Like...nothing is stopping you. She was way under qualified for the job and CLEARLY she doesn't want it anymore, so...why...not...me....

What sucks the most is that they started my training but then dropped me for her. I hate that. Don't start me on something to not finish it. I even offered "I don't expect a promotion but can I at least finish the training to have it on my resume?" only to be met with vague answers. It blows. It's why I switched to BOH because she isn't in control there. I have a year left until I move to another city so I hope to stick with the company and HOPEFULLY finish the training so if I transfer, I can transfer as a manager. But who knows. They at least gave me a raise. :/

2020 can go get effed.
I'm glad it's over with, but I don't have much more hope for 2021.
So many people I know died this year.
The only LGTBQ+ friendly place in town just got all of it's windows smashed in.
Mom is still having issues, and keeps risking getting another embolism in her leg.
My boss is a homophobe who is trying to get me and like 4 other people fired for existing.
I have migraines almost nonstop now.

. . . Can a dude catch a break, please? ;_;

Whoever hexed me, I hope ya burn.

Getting really tired of being ignored at my job. It happens elsewhere, too, but lately it's been really getting to me at work when my requests for time off go unanswered until I'm already scheduled for that time so I have no choice but to cancel them; someone asks for a code over the walkie and i tell them it's on a sheet right next to them, only to have someone else answer by just telling them the code as though I hadn't said anything at all; I spend idk how many minutes standing around waiting for someone to fucking notice me and shut up long enough to answer MY questions; I get bitched at for "not communicating" because I literally CAN'T answer the person asking things on the walkie because they're STILL TALKING and you can't both talk at once, but when I ask a question into the walkie I get met with no response whatsoever until I ask again a second or third time and then get fucking snapped at for asking so many times. How df was I supposed to know you were on your way over if you didn't say so? CoMmUnIcAtE why don't you? jfc
Then you ask customers "how are you today?" and they ignore you, so eventually you give up and of course the one person you don't bother asking gets an attitude with you because you didn't ask the obligated question that nobody actually wants an answer to.
And of course, let's not forget the entire fiasco with me trying to get a transfer, which happened because as usual, I wasn't important enough for anyone to bother actually doing their part. But still got blamed on me despite me doing literally everything that could have been expected of me, because it's so much easier to just throw the employee under the bus than to let managers take responsibility for their own negligence. ...oh and if i did get a transfer, they'd take away the raise they just gave me. so that's nice to know. glad i busted my ass for almost 50 hours a week just to find out that if i ever move to another location i'll lose that 50 cents i got for being there over a year.

last night was inventory night, wherein everyone who's signed up for it stays several hours late to count everything in the store. i was asked a few days ago if i was able to stay, but i didn't give them a yes. i was not scheduled for inventory, only my regular schedule. imagine my surprise and frustration when they gave me a counting task at the very last minute anyway! something that would have taken me, oh so conveniently, until the time i'd have been scheduled to leave if i HAD said yes to inventory. i got 1/3 of it done and said i needed to leave because i shouldn't have been tasked with that anyway. especially without anyone to help me. i watched 2-3 other people who had the same schedule as me go home at their normal time, so why was i given the expectation of extra work? why am i the only one who is expected to just do more than i was signed on for? they couldn't possibly have thought that counting every chapstick and pack of gum at the registers would take me less than half an hour. i am still mad about it and now i have to leave for work again. i was tempted to call in just bc i was so damn mad. but at least inventory is done, so i won't have to worry about getting saddled with last-minute extra tasks... i hope.

tw swearing and screaming about top surgey/being trans/money
I'm really fcking pissed about!!!!! swtuff!!!!! fuck!!!!

I'm working full time, trying to go back to school full time. I want top surgery. My shitty insurance from work won't cover it. I don't have an appt yet but it's likely I will in the next 2-3 years. That's like 2 years to save up 10 grand.

I can't decide if it's worthwhile to push myself to create products out of my art and try selling them, like stickers on etsy or something, to try and slowly save up. Or if that's a stupid waste of time! And I won't save it up anyway! And I'll still have to wait until I get a job that doesn't treat employees like shit and gives me insurance that will help cover the costs of the surgery!

My back is killing me and I'm tired of people staring at my tits in public! Ahhhh!!!!!! The wait was supposed to be a year but due to covid it's more like two years! A year and a half to even get in touch with the doctor I've been referred to!

And I get pissed because my parents are like "being trans isn't real you're a freak" and I"m like if it's not real why is there such a long line for titty surgery that I can't even get in until two years from my gp sending in the request!!!!!!!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHh

anyway. that's me.

I had another nightmare dream last night; I usually have dreams abt things I’m worried abt/regret, super weird ones, or what I’m currently obsessed with. In this case, it was the first/and the regret one. I have clinically observed my nightmares intensify when I’m under excessive stress, like when I was doing study & w melodramatic venting (ex. ‘I can’t cope w my anxiety!!). Is my study a thing I regret? Is my melodrama a thing I regret? Yes, godstars yes, to the latter. But...I also want to say a resounding no, because it led me to now, with my united self of accepting who I am as a person/all that I achieved. Regret, grief is a part of me. But the nightmare was still triggering, I find. Lighter on impact, but still. I have worked so much stuff yet on my self discovery journey, and worked out more (in which Voltra helped me w integrating again into connecting w people not just speaking into the void by myself). I want pills/therapy to simply help further let me in on the strange terrible & beautiful intricacies of my mind/body and live inside w/o it rendering me consistently deceased. And to not feel constrained by time, in feeling more embraced as an person in my entire. And also, a huge thing I want to remember to be delicate abt: My intensity of emotions actually have been causing me temporary memory loss.

with every passing day I grow more and more irritated with you.
before, it was just in general. but now, you're trying to pick a fight with me over nothing, and I'm pissed.

you realize you're literally whining about having a cushy 9-5 job during a pandemic, right?
no, you probably don't realize it. because you're privileged, self-centered, and arrogant.

god I wish we'd never hired you. I can't wait until I never have to interact with you ever again.

I dunno.

I know you're worried about using your 'unprotected' laptop to do your banking... but wanting to use my PC irritates me. It's also not protected. I dunno how to do any of that stuff either. Maybe I'm a douche telling you the truth, but like... it's not really different? Like... whats gonna happen when we move out?? Are you gonna friggin' drive to our place to pay your bills?? Wtf, pay your bills at the bank then! Can't be any safer than that, right??

Also calling me selfish and a cow is great.
I hate living... so so much.
I hate that this is the level of silly crap I have to deal with. What the actual hell?? I'm an adult, you're an adult... what a waste of time.
Why do I also feel bad refusing her?? My boyfriend even tells me to just let her use my PC... just, ughh am I terrible actually?

Sometimes I get annoyed when my managers have us train new employees during busy shifts. I understand they need to learn, but they’re pretty much just in the way. It makes business move slower because we constantly have to teach or make sure the new employees are doing things right, and we can’t do everything for them or else they won’t learn. It doesn’t help, either, when the coworker with you works slow and doesn’t know how to do too much. So you’re having to pick up the slack of the trainee and the coworker. I’m just tired, but everything will be okay...

i hate feeling like this

i don't even want to talk to my friend about it, because i feel like i do it too much. i don't want to use it as some weird crutch.

so idk where the fuck to complain. i don't know what the fuck to do. it's just the same shit. never getting out of this shitty fucking piece of shit depression. stupid fucking not even worth talking about because there IS nothing to talk about. i've said it all. i've done it all. there's nothing more to be said. its just perpetual.

just a fucked up brain that can't be fixed. that's all there is.

just suffer and suffer and fuck me, i guess. I guess I did something to deserve this. i don't fuckin know? whoever I was in a past life must have fuckin sucked. thanks a lot you piece of shit for ruining a perfectly good life.

(I'm taking this from my spam thread because I figured it's worthy enough to fit into this thread, as well. I'm just so annoyed).

I'm really so tired of living in this apartment. I hate living under this man and next to the other two men.

Homie above me steps too fuckin heavily for no reason at all (other than him being a big guy), and it's seriously getting annoying. Sometimes his footsteps cause vibrations in my apartment and it's so unnecessary. I'm so ready to move out. Scratch that, I've BEEN ready to move out for the longest. I'm so over being here, I can't even enjoy peace and quiet in my apartment without it being interrupted by someone's goddamn TV or this man's heavy fucking footsteps.

Our apartments are the size of Post-It Notes, why is he walking around so much? Sit the hell down and stop moving, everything you need is basically within arm's reach.

sometimes i genuinely wonder if life is worth living when all my friends that have already left their families (abusive or not) struggle with finances and getting proper healthcare and staying employed, especially now... and maybe someone will criticize me and say that's out of proportion since most of my friends are also chronically ill and disabled and have dealt with trauma etc but i see a lot of stuff go around for many many other people too, it really isn't just my 'bubble' of friends and acquaintances. i wonder if it's worth it to leave my own abusive situation if it means i am probably going to also end up even more sick or homeless or just jumping from toxic/unsafe situations to the next ones or something, but i also feel kind of insane for staying here when my own family doesn't care about me and treats me like a burden. all they have to do is kick me out for being too mentally ill or for being lgbt or doing or not doing things or whatever reason, and yet they don't, but continue to treat me like less than the filth on the ground.

Oh geez.... I'm fed up with (potential?) buyers who decided to backout or being fussy/joy buyers as soon as I mention the postage fee and the cost of the (preloved) item I'm selling. I also hate it when they ghosted me after I answered them or worse case scenario- after they confirm to do payment but didn't respond after I replied to them and well as trying to negotiate or lowball me when I've already written no negotiation or lowballing in my item listing's description. *facepalm*

I'm fine with buyers asking questions but when they asked me about whether I allow Cash on Delivery, even during the pandemic/quarantine/lockdown (again, I did wrote no cash on delivery on every description) or something's that already written in the description is mind bogging, made me realised these type of buyers don't even bother to read the description carefully before DMing me.

I'm SO tired of people's lack of respect and the entitlement they have in my line of work.

Had a family come in to visit a resident (their loved one). Brought a kid with them, and we're not even allowed to have them in the building yet. Fine, I'm not going to argue with the family because FFS I'm so tired of saying NO to everything. Especially if he's wearing his mask and being polite.

I ask if they've been vaccinated, per protocol, and they answer no. Fine and dandy, idc what people's reasons are anymore. I inform them that it's our policy for those who aren't vaccinated, to wear both a face mask AND a face shield, and they say okay and take it with them. No sooner do they turn the corner and give the face shields to the nurse and say "we don't need them" and proceed up to their loved one's room.

I DIDN'T FUCKING TELL YOU OUR POLICY FOR SHITS AND GIGGLES!!! Luckily our staff are familiar with policy, so the nurse called me immediately to confirm that I gave them the shields because they're not vaccinated, so she had to chase them down and re-inforce the policy. I just........am so fucking tired. SO. FUCKING. TIRED. of people not thinking about others. Bad enough you didn't get the vaccine (yes, I'm hella judgmental, sue me) but to not consider you're putting others at risk by disobeying policy??? I swear if I wasn't in the position I am, I'd go off on these type of people. But I keep my mouth shut. *upside-down smiley emote*

I'm so frustrated with trying to find a job. And I was thinking, ok, so maybe I should get a certificate in this field? Only to learn that there really isn't? You could add on to your BA with a master's degree but I'm not going to freaking do that, plus I don't have my BA. I'm totally able to do this job, I've done it before and I learned without much experience in the first place and I nailed it. But unfortunately that company didn't keep me (the manager wasn't really that great).

I had an interview yesterday and it was super awkward and they wanted someone with way more experience. Basically they wanted a lawyer but I'm a contracts admin. I'm the person that sends documents out for signature. I'm not a lawyer who edits legal documents lol. I also feel like because I live in DC there are a lot of government contract admins but for the life of me, I can't figure out how to learn that skill without learning it on a job. I have like looked this up.
I like being a contracts admin and I liked the job that I had before. Why aren't things lining up right now? I'm just really frustrated. I have applied to so many openings and I'm on linkedIn and I have given my resume to recruiters and temp companies. Still nothing.
