Have something to get off your chest? Unload it here!

My coworkers either drive me completely fucking insane or I absolutely adore them and there is no middle ground. None. I have no days where I'm like 'yes. This is the baseline for human interaction.'

So I just got a phone call telling me I didn't get promoted. Again. In the 13 years I've had this job, I've been promoted once, to the same job, but with benefits instead of hourly. At the time, I joked that it would take another decade before I got promoted again. In the midst of my sulking I'm afraid that might actually be true and I just wanna win the lotto and quit. When I started, my pay was almost double the state minimum wage. Now it's only $0.57 over the minimum, and I feel so poor and like such a failure. I want to do something nice for myself but I also feel like I don't deserve it because I'm a failure. I'm 33 and I have the same job I had when I was 20. I ask for feedback after every interview and I'm always told I was right at the cutoff for promotion and if something opens up they'll let me know and not to lose hope and keep trying... Fuck it.

Start the hunt for a new job. Sounds like this one has dried up for you, and you deserve better than to be toyed with like they have been.

I wouldn't even know where to begin. I'm only really fit to do the job I have or the ones I'm aiming to promote to, I'm working on getting my masters because I want to move up in this field. Once I have the degree I may look further afield for a job that uses my skills, such as they are, but until I get my masters, I'd rather continue on with my cruddy pay since I actually like the job and am unlikely to get a benefitted one elsewhere. And with the incoming administration, giving up health care coverage=no bueno.

Very rational adulting, it sucks but I get you. Hopefully the Masters is done soon and you can find somewhere you're appreciated and it's reflected in the pay and benefits!

Thanks for the good wishes, I've got at least a two year slog to go, since I'm still applying to Masters programs and have a semester left on my bachelors. A lot of the frustration comes from people who don't even really know me as a person still being mystified as to why I haven't got promoted yet. People whose names I barely know who I worked with maybe once are just as puzzled as people I see every day. And not because I gripe about it and they're being reassuring. My last interview, when I asked for feedback, the chair of the interview panel told me he honestly didn't know why I'd been snubbed, they'd recommended me for promotion based on my interview and references, and to call the big boss. The big boss said a lot of well meaning platitude type stuff that amounted to "your time will come" and I'm just like "before I retire, maybe?"

Spoilers: they keep trotting out that line because it keeps you being productive like they want, and they know they can get it without giving you anything more by saying that.

Freddy's has shitty desserts. I mean, how do make a near flavorless brownie sundae?

Just tired of being tired and not tired during the wrong times because of my work schedule.

But it's hard to complain because of what I do and where I am for it. Does feel unhealthy though... which I can't stand, as a health freak.

I'm frustrated with my life at the moment, but I'm stuck with no idea about how to change things or even where I want to go. I want change so badly, just....no clue how to go about it. Just general life frustration I guess.

Ugh, bad week. My parents are out of town and I was really looking forward to having the house to myself. I even took off some time from work to enjoy and catch up on shit. So, naturally the mild cold I got before Christmas that never went away caught a vicious second wind so I've been laid up for days. And, we've had 3 snowstorms in the last 3 days so I've had to go out shoveling everyday. None of the roads are plowed yet so I can't order a pizza or go to the pharmacy to get more medicine. Ugh. Why must life be like this?

I spent two weeks with a cold, and now I'm pretty certain I have bronchitis.

My DH flare up (celiac rash) is starting to finally go away but jesus fuck it itches so fucking much. When people act like it's no big deal if I just eat a little bit of gluten I get so fucking angry. This rash is from food I ate that touched a plate that something with gluten had been on previously. Food I ate a month ago now.

So no, I'm not going to relax or just try some normal food or whatever the fuck else people keep telling me to do.

My boss is moody and childish. Today, she bought tacos for everyone but a small number of people (going around asking everyone what they wanted). I wasn't included. She deliberately excludes people when buying lunch if she has a beef with them. I don't know what issue this irrational woman has with me because she hasn't mentioned it - it can't be my work as she is quick to point out any flaws.

Yes, I'm searching for a new job after I get my certification. I'm weary of working for small companies after this experience.

Fuck my stupid sinuses. It is making it so hard to study. I got through today, but I had to take a heavy duty painkiller in the evening because I was in so much pain. And the headaches are starting to make me irritable and not at all helping my stress level.

I had a mild anxiety flare for no reason at all, but I didn't want to take meds because I prefer to save them for more serious panic attacks. I've finally settled, but seriously, wtf brain.

All of us on a particular job today got dinged by a supervisor for doing stuff wrong. But guess what - we did it *wrong* because this same supervisor gives the most shitty, confusing, and low-info briefings *ever*. We got it wrong because she's a fuck up.

Really pisses me off.

The puppy I was going to get didn't make it. I'm super bummed out but making myself look for a puppy elsewhere. Inspecting breeders and locations takes a lot of work with no guarantee for months.

Are you set on a purebred? Shelter dogs are awesome.

They are indeed awesome! My current dog is an amazing pound pupper. This time around we're going to need a calm young male puppy to arrive in my house in April to have the best success in the long term. Narrowed it down to spaniels (welsh, english, brittanys) as a good fit to my dog.

I am keeping my eye on the secondhand spaniels/spaniel x's as they pop up in rescue or get returned to breeders, there's a young male (4 months) present right now but I can't get a second one till late march/April and this guy would be too old by then :( There's some adults, but it's really gotta be a (<3 months) puppy so my other dog doesn't get too stressed out.

The timeline matters just because of how my emergency role works, only got a short time i can take off to socialise the little guy and set him up to cope with his new life.

I think this is probably right up there with 'have you tried eating more/less sleeping more/less exercising more/less????' when people mention a health problem. If they're going through the effort of researching they probably know shelters exist and have animals in them.
