Venting thread.

[kallanda_lee]

Cause I need to, and you might too.

Re: Venting thread.

[kaijinscendre]

A storm is rolling thru so I can't play WoW or watch Justified. Just hanging out on my bed listening to the terrible wind and lightning. Though, they are not calling for tornadoes, just straight winds.

Re: Venting thread.

[diet_poison]

You too, huh?

There were a couple touchdowns in Indiana. Kokomo, a medium-sized town about an hour north of Indy, had a lot of damage.

The line that went through Indy didn't hit me directly but I did get rain dumped on me.

It's still and quiet now, though, at least where I am.

(Oklahoma is bad for storms and tornadoes, I've heard, isn't it?)

I just can't anymore right now. I'm just a ball of stress. Tomorrow I'm tutoring in the morning and working all afternoon/evening. Thursday Friday In between I need to manage taking care of a fine, get in touch with a guy I'm volunteering with cause he tried to reach me, and sort of plan my birthday party that I've been neglecting. This weekend i'm spending at a con. And somehow in between this I need to write 3 pages of an assignment for a job application that looks presentable on Monday. Also it's so hot I feel like I might genuinely die in my car.

I just can't. I'm too exhausted, too stressed. And I feel like no-one is helping, an when the are, they whine about it, which adds to my stress so it instantly undoes the benefit of the help.

Re: Venting thread.

[diet_poison]

Is there any way you can unload a little bit of that?

*offers hugs*

Re: Venting thread.

[mrs_don_draper]

Is there someone you can reach out to? Like a friend or doctor who you can vent everything to and try to plan accordingly with them? Hope things turn around. <3

Edit: I'd also say that making a priority list and/or time sheet might help at least keep things in order.

Whyyyyyyyyy does Toys R Us gotta be so weird about schedules. I'm playing phone tag for a complete schedule.

I don't need this shit, I gotta make a doctor's appointment soon because my thyroid meds are like hella low. Like I'm starting to notice side effects like the fact that I take naps randomly all throughout the day when I've already had my eight hours. And my hair has been looking off even when I wash it.

I want my floofy hair and ability to stay awake during the day back.

Re: Venting thread.

[(Anonymous)]

One of thyroid meds' side effects is thinning hair.

Hey, I meant to say this ages ago but got to the post late and then forgot: You were complaining about not finding work-appropriate pants with decent pockets? Try Lee brand. Their "curvy fit" slacks have been my go-to at my last three jobs, and I can fit my wallet and my fairly large keyring in one pocket and still have the other three (well, one-and-two-halves; with my build butt pockets don't hold much regardless of the pants) free for whatever other randomness I need to stash throughout the day.

We're in job interview season at my grad school, and we're all competing for jobs, and I'm getting irrationally annoyed with one of my friends. We're up for a bunch of the same jobs, and it should be good that we're doing well with different interviewers, but every time I say "Oh, I felt like X interview went well," she immediately launches into how awful the interview was for. And it's like, can you let me feel good about this? I've listened to you talk about the offers you already got from the firms you were at last year while I'm still waiting to hear about mine. Do you have to shit over my good experience?

I recognize that a LOT of this is projecting and paranoia.

Re: Venting thread.

[diet_poison]

That actually does sound very inconsiderate, but probably not malicious. Maybe you could say something to her about it (gently)? Like "hey, I'm happy about this, and I want to celebrate a bit. To be fair, you've had a lot of successes too." or something

Re: Venting thread.

[(Anonymous)]

Do it. Interrupt her with a smile and say, "Whoa whoa, just let me feel good about this for a while, okay? Let me have this moment."

Then change the subject. Change it every time she tries to bring it back to complaining, and if that doesn't work, end the conversation. Don't flounce out or stomp off angrily, just say, "Welp, gotta go..." and leave.

I hate being a lesbian.

[(Anonymous)]

I acknowledged that I have very little, if no, attraction to men. And I hate it. I hate the way people treat lesbians, I hate my homophobic parents, I hate every meme and everything. I just want to be attracted to men. I'm trying so hard to like them, going on dates, kissing them. I just want to be straight.

I know that being gay or a lesbian is perfectly okay, of course. I am so happy that people can be proud of who they are.

But I feel dirty and ashamed. I feel big, ugly, and clumsy next to women. I desperately want and desperately don't want a girlfriend. I've honestly considered just dating a guy and forcing the whole thing.

This is my rant. I'm sorry I sound so crazy.

Re: Venting thread.

[philstar22]

I wish the job place would let me know one way or another. They said they'd let me know this week. I was expecting early in the week, but now the week is halfway over. I need to know whether I should sign up for the Spanish immersion program. So it is frustrating.

Re: Venting thread.

I could cry.

I'm the sort who may start a fic and then abandon it for years before coming back to finish it for real. Maybe I'll read through it again, periodically, but it takes a long time to actually get back to writing.

And there's one story that I *know* I've reread recently and I want to start working on it again, and I CAN'T FIND IT. I found one chapter of it inside a 2014 nanowrimo compilation document but all the meaty stuff I'd written before? Gone.

It's not on my external hard drive. It's not in my drop box, it's not on my desktop or my laptop. It's not on a flash drive I have. All I can think is maybe I saved it on a different flash drive and then proceeded to lose that drive. I just don't know and I want to scream over it.

This is pretty minor, but I have this friend who isn't usually comfortable with internet hugs. I hate being touched offline, but I love internet hugs. And I used to have a bad habit of not taking my pills. So then we got into a system where I would take my pills, tell my friend, and they would give me an internet hug as kind of a reward, to encourage me to do it. But then I got better about taking my pills, and now I miss the hugs, but I can't tell them that because they would feel bad for not doing something they wouldn't be comfortable doing. So I guess I'm telling you instead!

tl;dr: wtf is this shit

A kinkmeme fill I wrote has no comments and I'm completely butthurt about it. It's a very old game on a very inactive part of the meme so I knew this was a possibility, but my butt remains hurt.

anon from the vent thread the other day still can't breathe >:(

Re: Venting thread.

[(Anonymous)]

I just want to curl up in bed for half of tomorrow and not move. I want to stop time and I can't. I want to make my remaining friend contact me more often than s/he usually does and I can't. I want to quit feeling all alone in my family and in the world and I can't. I want to move away into a single detached small house, away from my aggravating mother and I can't. I want to win the lottery and not have to work and I can't.

Family being rude. Must be a day that ends in y.

Re: Venting thread.

[slashgirl]

Work starts for me in just under two weeks. I wish I didn't have go back... I'm kinda burnt out I think, even with two months off. Once I'm back that first day, it'll seem like we didn't have any time off. Plus my schedule at my larger school is horrible and so unbalanced, my admin did it up. When I asked to change one class, her response was basically "Get used to it." She also slashed my budget by over 50%. I can't fight her directly on things as she's the type to make one's working life a living hell and our(support staff) HR person is the admin's sister so there really is no option to complain about my admin without getting screwed over. Its gonna be a fun year. Thank god I love my smaller school and my admin there is decent. Wish I could work there full time.

I'm getting the feeling I might need to start self medicating with caffeine again this semester. Moving into a new place helped, but I have no friends to encourage me (they all graduated) and my depressive lethargy is still there and getting bad, and I will be graduating this semester so I just need to get through it.

Excessive caffeine sucks, and yeah I know I know its bad for me, but at least I am able to get things done? Idk. It sucks.

I'm so tired of having kidney stones. I'm so tired of being perpetually nauseous. I'm so tired of near constant pain of some level or another. I'm so tired of having to force myself to drink so much despite the nausea or the pain gets unbearable. I'm so tired of constantly having to urgently pee because of the toxins. I'm so tired of not having good health insurance so I can't get this dealt witb. I'm just tired.

This summer I took an elective course, Mural Painting. It was a class a lot of my other painting friends had good experiences with, and I was very excited. In the class you get into groups and paint murals for businesses.

Everyone else in the class got a great group and a great experience. I got neither. My group treated me bad and excluded me a lot, I am pretty sure cause I was the only girl in their group. They had bad work ethics and attitudes.

One of them cursed out our professor (who was lovely and just trying to get him to do real work) a couple times, wouldn't take a single critique without flipping out, and smoked weed AT the place of business. He also would sometimes PAINT OVER things I had already done without even discussing it with me, not putting any effort into them and making them worse. My stuff was by no means the best shit in the world, but like, I would be careful and make my lines smooth and make sure there weren't drips, because if you want paint on a brick wall to look good you have to be careful and take your time, which he didn't do. One barely ever showed up and barely worked when he was there. NONE of them would work outside of class, which is an expectation in most studio classes and also definitely necessary because its such a big project.

As a result our mural doesn't look very good, and I am embarrassed to have my name attached to it. I tried my best, but I couldn't do it all on my own, not something that size with only a few weeks time. My only small pleasure is that when we did in class critique, the other groups pointed out stuff he did as stuff they didn't like. (Also the professor was aware of all this, so I my grade wasn't effected by them at least.)

But now we are going to have a reception in a week or so, which my groupmates straight up said they didn't care enough to attend. I don't want to go and have to defend this obviously lacking mural all on my own, but I feel like I have to go, cause it will look worse if none of us show up. I am just so upset. The other groups in my class had good experiences. They ended up with good murals. It is just... all really upsetting to me.

I was really looking forward to this class too.

My job SUCKED today.

One of the things I have to do is call or e-mail specialty clinics to ask them to open up appointment slots to see urgent cases. There are a few that just WILL NOT get back to me. Also, there were a couple of annoying ones.

One opened up a slot, after three days and two e-mails, but before I could schedule it, someone from their own slot used it. I e-mailed back to tell the clinic, and she sent me back a nastygram about how I should have booked the appointment IMMEDIATELY. (She created the slot an hour before I even got to work.

After several e-mails back and forth, I got a slot opened up for a different patient. I called the patient to let him know and -- he'd moved out-of-state in the two weeks between the request being submitted and the appointment being scheduled.

I wish it was the weekend already.
