Vent thread!

[(Anonymous)]

Vent away!

Re: Vent thread!

[philstar22]

1. Second degree burns are not fun, especially on my back. It makes it hard to sit, hard to lay down, hard to walk. I'm frustrated with myself for doing this to myself.

2. My mother and sister are fighting again, over the stupidest things. And I'm stuck in the middle again.

Re: Vent thread!

[dreemyweird]

Forgive the idle curiosity, but how did you get second degree burns on your back? I am very sorry, though - they do suck massively :/

Re: Vent thread!

[kallanda_lee]

Both of those such, hope stuff heals/gets better.

I'm not good at enjoying things anymore and I'm mad about it.

Kind of sick of GC being all about personal issues, real world news, and SJ crap lately, TBH.

Remember when this fandom comm actually talked about fandom?

Re: Vent thread!

We had a great fanfic thread yesterday, and two about kinks?

Re: Vent thread!

[(Anonymous)]

looking at yesterday, judging by my count, fully half of the threads were fandom-relevant (counting the ones about kinks, which I think is very safely a fandom thing)

for some reason I just thought that watching 10,000 Star Wars YTPs might help me to feel less lonely and inadequate

this is as accurate a description of my personality as it gets

I just got home from visiting my grandmother, who has gotten very hard of hearing. It has gotten to the point where she can't hear the TV even when the sound is super loud for everyone else and she just sits there at family birthdays nodding along without ever really hearing anything.

So when I was there now, my sister mentioned her maybe trying out some hearing aids, and my grandma got so pissed. I'm sure she's getting tired of us nagging her about it, but now she just got super pissed and mentioned how they don't work for her (apparently you need to wear them for two weeks before her ears are adjusted to them, or something like that, but she has never tried them out for so long before so).

The entire thing is just so frustrating, and what is worse that I'm sure a lot of her memory problems (mostly repeating the same things 10000 times) is due to her not hearing/not being sure people have heard. So I tried to calm her down, asking her if she didn't find it frustrating to never being able to participate in conversations or not being able to watch TV, and how needing a hearing aid wasn't that different from using glasses and that sometimes people need assistance. It won't help though. Nothing will.

And it is just so annoying! And she acknowledges it! Calling it a "family weakness" and repeatedly mentioning how much it helped her own mother to get hearing aids after nagging her to get them back in the day! But she is just too fucking stubborn and proud to actually try her hearing aids out and it makes her seem so much older. I just wish she would try to wear them for those two weeks and see if it helps, and if it doesn't, fine! You've tried! It didn't help, but at least you fucking tried! The entire thing is just so fucking frustrating and has been going on for years and I'm just tired of yelling and repeating myself. I'm sure the entire family are.

tl;dr My grandma is borderline deaf and won't try to do anything about it and it is fucking frustrating.

One of my little toes is hurting or was wrenched or something and it doesn't bode well for running around today.

Anyone remember the Law and Order SVU Mushroom Samba episode? The one about the mushroom poison thing where Olivia pretends to be (or is I can't remember) high at one point.

That episode annoyed the shit out of me. The way the grandmother treated the granddaughter from the very beginning. She told her granddaughter not to air her 'dirty laundry' when the granddaughter describes the loss of her parents and what that caused her. because being traumatized after your parents died when you're a child is something to be ashamed of. She went on and on about how the victim was the daughter she would have loved to have right in front of her granddaughter. She reefers to therapy ans support as "silly things" or something.

Admittedly the granddaughter does end up having been involved in the death of the victim because of something (I think it was some scheme or something involving bottled water) that she thought was wrong.) I won't deny that obviously murder is something I don't condone. The grandmother comes in to tell the granddaughter she's disowned and rips the necklace off her neck to give to the victim's family. Then there's this exchange.

Granddaughter: I just wanted a mother!
Grandmother: (in a sweet sugary voice) Well she died.

Part of the reason I get pissed thinking about this episode is that I watched it with my mom and when I commented about how horrible the grandmother was, my mother seemed to see my position as being upset that the grandmother didn't approve of murder. (and refused to see my position as anything else even when I explained it)

Like fucking no. If that were true I'd be pissed EVERYTIME the murderer doesn't get complete approval from their parent. Which i don't In fact often I cheer for the parent.

But in this case, it's not so much that the grandmother wasn't happy about what the granddaughter did. It's that she treated her granddaughter like SHIT since we saw them both on screen. She dismissed her need for support. She was so obviously emotionally abusive and just....urgh. Even the detectives thought she was an asshole.

Maybe if the old jerk hadn't treated her granddaughter like garbage and dismissed her needs after a death as "weak" and "silly" maybe her granddaughter would have been as successful as the friend of the family she looooooves so much.

Good news: I've gotten calmer
Bad news: and more apathetic.

I think I'm just starting to realise that I'm actually in a fairly depressive mindset right now and not just stressed out from school. I probably should go talk to someone about it, but alas no time for that this time of year with exam after exam piling up after each other.

I've tried putting moisturizer on my hands and wearing gloves. I've used the balm from the green jar, I've done the bag balm. Yet every winter, my fingers still split and crack and bleed and *hurt*. I once asked a doctor (not my normal practitioner) for advice. Oh they used bandaids and healing creme on the cuts too. Sigh. Is there any relief besides moving to a warmer climate?

So after a couple of weeks of waiting, I finally found out why I didn't get a promotion I'd applied for--I already knew I'd interviewed well, and I'm apparently very productive and competent, which is nice to hear. But I have this one supervisor. Luckily for me (and them honestly) I only work with them one day a week. My main supervisor likes me, and so do the supervisors of the other locations where I work occasionally. But apparently, I'm expected to stay at this location with a supervisor who thinks my every sneeze is insubordination (and it never used to be but it's really hard to stay neutral on someone who loathes you) and work things out with them for a year if I want to promote. Which would suck anyway. But I was offered a schedule that would mean not having to work with them anymore, before I got this info, and I'd tentatively accepted because it would make having a workable class schedule so much easier. I was so frazzled when I got the advice to stick with the supervisor who hates me that I didn't even think of how that would fuck with my school schedule. So, because I want to graduate before I drop dead of old age, I'm gonna take the school-compatible schedule I was offered and leave the location I was told to stay at (because otherwise I obviously didn't want the promotion enough to suffer for it.) I really want a promotion, and I've been getting comments from people who don't even like me wondering how I could've been passed over this time. But I'd rather have a degree in two years than a promotion in a year. Plus I think it's cruel to force us to work together; the supervisor is as miserable having to deal with me as I am with them, but not even being used as a mutual-tolerance object lesson is going to make us get along at this point. And just to be a bitch, this person is a shit supervisor.

I've decided to start a new job hunt. Dammit, but I hate job hunts. Ugh.

I got new glasses this week, which is good, but I apparently didn't pay attention to the part where the eye doctor said my new prescription was now also going to correct some astigmatism (I've just been near-sighted) and for the last two days I've been wondering why it's been so much harder to adjust to a new pair than usual.

Oh.

So it's probably not a brain tumor, it's just my field of view correcting itself. Okay, anxiety, suck on that for a while and chilllll.

I over enthusiastically agreed to join my friends' cosplay group, to be Cheedo the Fragile from Mad Max, cause I love the movie and the character. (We live in a warm climate area and the con is indoors so yeah we are doing the Wives in the winter.) But now the date is close and the reality of wearing a skimpy costume is setting in and I remember oh yeah! I hate my body! Like, hate it! Especially my thighs. But its too late to back out... Guess its time to desperately work out and hope I can see results faster than I know is normal...

My friends haven't invited me to any of our yearly get-togethers that happen around this time, but they're still posting merrily about them on their social media sites that I read. I want to ask them what I did to get ignored like this, but since they're not actually doing anything to me, asking them anything will make me look like the bitch here.

It can be a bitch going to the shops on Sunday. The bus that goes past my front gate is only hourly (it's half-hourly on week-days and Saturday), and that can be a bitch if I land at interchange at the wrong point.

New Vent :D

[caerbannog]

People who let their offlead dogs run up to onlead dogs and upset the other dog and don't try to remove their dogs from upsetting other dogs are fucking cunts and deserve to go fuck themselves with a grater :D

This has been a PSA :D

This is why I hate groups devoted to mocking Tumblr SJW stuff

*SJW stuff relating to one particular group*

"[Entire Group] sure is despicable"

How is this any better than SJWs? You're making a judgement on the entire group. I thought this was the kind of thing we were against. You fucking hypocrites.
