Vent thread

[philstar22]

For all your venting needs.

Re: Vent thread

[philstar22]

So, I came out to my mother today. Was...weird. On the one hand, she didn't freak out or get angry or disown me or anything. On the other hand, she made it clear she still believes what she believes. And then she said that she maybe understands a little because of how men can often treat larger women?

WTF, Mom? I'm not bi by choice. I didn't choose to be attracted to women anymore than I chose to be attracted to men. It isn't because I don't want to deal with fatphobic men. And frankly, women can be plenty fatphobic too. I'm bi because that's who I am.

I guess this was about the best I could expect. At least she's not kicking me out and it appears as if she's just going to pretend this never happened.

Weekend from hell.
Seizures, ERs, concussions, a totaled car, a huge outlay of money to a predatory tow company (the city called them to the accident site instead of letting us call someone), and I think i've slept about 6 hours since Thursday night. Oh - also - idiot Program Manager at my work fucking up our timesheets and so our pay will most likely be late.

Monstrous and almost-son-in-law are fine, but holy. Fuck. I need a day off. For a month.

Tomorrow - hour long trip with exSO and Monstrous to look at cars (know someone who knows someone). Gonna be fun.

Disabled and trying to move out. My family knows I'm trying to move out, and they absolutely are not approving of it. I mentioned this before and someone said to Gray Rock it, and I do agree that seems to be helping. But like oh god, my only hope of getting out right now is if the section 8 person doesn't slap me down for having savings in my bank I forgot about. It's not even that much....

Thanks for the thread!

Anon who recently started an intensive and insane binge watch of Oz here.
I finished watching it yesterday. My neck hurts. The story from season 4 part II got so ??? the fuck happened there LOL The last season is pretty bad, yo.

The worst part is that one of my favorite characters dies a very very stupid nonsense death (I don't want to accidentally spoil anything, so I'm just going to say: Idzik) and I'm still bitter about it. WHYYYY

I'll probably post a few Oz secrets in the next few weeks because nobody I know has watched it and I need to vent my love and frustration.

Was forced to block 'peas' on Tumblr. Because someone I follow kept posting dishes with peas in them and I effin' hate peas. (This is the best worst problem I've had all year. Lmao.)

Re: Vent thread

I'm distancing myself from a friend and its rough, over the past few months its become more and more obvious that this is a pretty one sided friendship with me doing most of the work/putting in most of the effort and I'm tired of it.

Like our birthdays are 12 days apart in the same month and for the last 3 years she hasn't wished me happy birthday, she hasn't even mentioned it and I legit think she forgot. She's always bitching to me about her asshole boyfriend and I'm tired of hearing about him. She never asks how I am, it feels like she only contacts me when she wants something or is bored. And when we do get together, I'm the one who has to go pick her up because she doesn't drive and still lives with her parents, and they don't want people in their house when they're at work so we have to come to my house or go somewhere else. No shame living with parents, I get it, but she's nearly 30 and I'm like can't you get an uber here? Nope, she doesn't want to. I'm just tired of her shit, tbh.

Having a crush on a famous person you’re also extremely jealous of results in one goddamn unpleasant obsession, especially when you have mental disorders that cause obsessions to thrive. It’s a perfect storm.

Why does training people how to do the more complicated aspects of my job drain me so damn badly? I mean, no, it doesn't help that along the way I'm finding new ways a department we work with has staggering levels of incompetence in the ranks and only two managers (out of five) willing to fight for running a tighter ship. It does make me feel better about how relatively well my team works together, but still.

I'm too tired to vent so I'm sure it comes out more as whining, but aaaugh it's now been about 24 hours since I discovered something seemed to be very wrong with one of my buns, and while I do not in the slightest regret being up with him most of the night and pushing myself to get him to the vet and do all kinds of things in an attempt to help him...

I'm so tired and I want a break. But now that I've gotten him breathing easier and gotten a little water in him, I need to mix up some critical care and try to get carbs and fiber into him, and I doubt I'll get to sleep much tonight either.

(And since I was driving around town to the vet multiple times today, I couldn't dare to eat or drink anything, and I'm so thirsty now but my guts hate me for spending so long sitting up. And I didn't get to have coffee so I'll probably have a withdrawal headache tomorrow.)

I wish my tinnitus would go away.

I know that it is not a serious medical issue for me, but it sure is a dratted nuisance.

I am also a polyglot. This means that autocorrect is probably going to up and murder me one of these days. All of those false cognates and homonyms...

...even though I have foreign language keyboards installed for my touch screen tablet.

...cries in too smart for my own good...

Re: Vent thread

Probably inflammatory but usually no one sees comments at this time of the day so whatever.
But I've seen news about some HP TV show or whatever from my fandom friend's channel. And I am thinking about dropping this friend. I am tired. I am so angry at all this wankers who continue licking shitty billionaire's boots.

Weather report: snow not likely until mid-morning

Snow: hahahahahahahaha I'm showing up at midnight because I'm a cunt

Me: I hate heavy bulky coats and I checked the weather app like gullible human and I'm going to wear my light hoodie.

Fuck the snow, man.

I fucking get it. We need it but it's goddamm fucking April and all through the winter it was a lot of ice and cold and snow. If I could have a brawl with the weather creator, I'd go in intent on dying in battle. Can't kill the weather but I will die pissed with fists.

I hate the winter. I hate fall too. I hate wearing heavy bulky clothes. I hate jeans even though they're the most convenient pants to wear. Guess this is just a whinging comment

Not answering your phone while working? Great! Got a job to do. Gotta stay focused.
You could switch it off, you could put it on do not disturb, you could leave it somewhere safe away from where you're working...
But you've chosen to yell at it to shut up when it makes a noise. Nice work. Thanks.

Job interview anon from recently

[(Anonymous)]

So I'm the one who had the job with all the crazy people who were doing potentially illegal things that I quit after the first day, and then had a couple interviews last week. One job sounded amazing and one sounded kinda meh.

Anyway, I got the amazing one and today was my first day. It was kind of overwhelming because while it's similar to the job I had before, it's on a much bigger scale so there's a lot of things to remember, but everyone was super nice and overall I think it's going to be great! :)

Thanks for all the nice comments everyone's left on my various posts during my job search. :)

Re: Job interview anon from recently

Weirdest fandom experience

[(Anonymous)]

For some reason I remembered today one of my fandom collaboration experiences. It's been at least 10 years, probably more, but it was quite baffling.

I've been in a "team" making illustrations for this fanfic translation as a part of some Big Bang. I don't exactly remember why but we've decided to make a pdf file fanzine-style for this. I am a designer so this task was on me. What possibly can go wrong am I right?
The Translator was micromanaging every little thing, we were in a different time zones, I had a very demanding day job, also there was a deadline. So basically it was unpaid hell. Also "fun" little jokes about this being like a second job were... a thing.
Anyway. One time she stopped talking to me for a day and was absolutely enraged. The reason? I suggested that maybe we shouldn't make the title page that makes this fic sound like it's a PhD thesis. It was a nice quiet day, not gonna lie.
Our communication stopped after I offended her by saying that I don't drink instant coffee. Apparently it was too bourgeois of me. I told her to fuck off and I never looked back.
The translation was so damn good though.


Tell me your weird or fun or hellish fan collaboration stories. I want to hear them!
