Life's frustrations

[philstar22]

What things about life have been frustrating you lately?


I'm currently frustrated about the realities of the American working world that mean since I've used up all my sick days, I have to either suck it up and go to work with a sinus infection and feeling miserable on Monday or use one of my vacation days and cancel one of my planned long weekends away.

I've been trying to get my HGV licence, but I am just so frustrated with myself that I cannot seem to judge the length of the trailer properly. I either end up taking corners too wide, or clipping the bloody kerb. I never thought that it would be so hard. I feel like I'm never gonna get this.

Similarly, frustrated with the American medical/insurance industry. I don't have insurance and I've been having some painful medical issues so I'm trying to figure out how to get insurance so I can then get a doctor and the whole situation is so stressful and expensive and frustrating.

My depression/ADHD brain is preventing me from cleaning my flat again. I'be been telling myself that I have to clean for about three weeks now but I just can't get started. So every day the mess gets bigger and the bigger the mess is, the more difficult it is to start.

I had a good run the last two months where I cleaned regularly. Why can't these things just stick? God, I hate my brain.

I'm in therapy for my OCD (again) and I've gotten to the Exposure and Response Prevention part, and it suuuuuuckkks. I know it works, but it's horrible to go through.

I’m quite certain that I’ve sold my soul to a certain computer company.
I now have one of their credit cards and it is too damned easy to use.
I am not in debt, but my neurodivergent brain is still screaming at me for spending my money in a new way...

During lockdown my apt bldg was bought out by idiots who won't do repairs. The mailboxes were broken into so frequently that the post office has recently refused to hold our mail for us. A couple of days ago I found out they have been reported by some of my neighbors to the parent company who had no idea this was going on and said they would do something about it.

2 months of sudden extreme drought have ruined my yard. We got 2-3 inches of rain in the last few days and some plants are bouncing back, and I've watered my actual garden plants (not the grass, fuck the grass) in the meantime just to keep them alive. I'm trying to convert to native plants and that's pretty damn hard when zero rain for 3 weeks at a time kills even those.

my lobelias are burnt at the ends of the leaves, the spiderwort didn't flower, my strawberries never fruited, the poke milkweed is looking sad, and to top it all off, because the grass died off the rabbits have been eating my native violets. how can I get violets to spread if the rabbits fucking eat them?? rat bastards. go eat the hostas, I hate those.

Life... life itself. It's hard to say one good thing about it right now. And I expect it to get much worse in the near future if I am being realistic.
Too apathetic to care now since when I tried to be happy despite being depressed all I got was a lot of shit. Finally I realize it's better to be labeled "depressed" than "bipolar" or "borderline" now so I gave up trying to pretend that I care really.
Not having loved ones is difficult but good in a way because you can't grieve or be disappointed. Usually I sever ties quietly but some put up fights, today is a fight day.

I have two missing packages for online orders I placed in May and June. Between this and trying to get all the right documentation sent to the DMV for upgrading my driver's license, I'm about to take a day off just to juggle all this crap.

*gestures vaguely at the American political clusterfuck*

Otherwise, frustrated that I feel like I can't take time off at work because I won't be properly covered, despite me requesting in advance. I really wish people wouldn't wait until literally the day before to let me know they're going to be taking a week off the very next day. There's too much shit going on and I don't want to come back to more stressful shit.

Yes, I know this is my personal problem that I need to get over, and just let people get fucked and figure shit out. But I feel like I'm never seen in a good light and I don't want to push my luck on anything, especially when I'm the direct cause of a recent fuckup. Plus I know what it's like to feel like nobody prepared you for shit, and I really don't want to make anyone else feel like that.

My job is stressing me out so bad. I don't even want to get into details online, let's just say I work in a restaurant and my managers are *not* happy. Everyone is under a lot of pressure right now. Doing my best to stay positive and do my job well, but every day the past few weeks has been super tough.

Actors' strike

[(Anonymous)]

Anyone got something interesting to share? Inside info, links, speculation, armchair quarterbacking?

Re: Actors' strike

[(Anonymous)]

I heard that it means they are planning on making a load of talking animal pictures, using old scripts, to get around not having actors. They can direct the animals now, and when the strike is over they can dub the dialogue in later.

Re: Actors' strike

[(Anonymous)]

Anyone want to give a quick run down of why they're striking? I am very out of the loop.

Re: Actors' strike

[(Anonymous)]

This is just a wish that I know won't happen especially at any scale, especially as SAG-AFTRA strike rules seem like they'd forbid it, and also it might not be safe for the actors, but it would be so hilarious if a few big name actors could show up to fan cons, places in LA full of tourists, etc, with "$100+ donation to strike fund = fan photo op" signs.

They would make bank but idk they'd probably have to hire security to avoid being mobbed if they were famous enough to get serious money for it.

Also, Ron Perlman could start a molotov cocktail fund and donate the proceeds to one of the strike funds. Reminds me of that post that periodically resurfaces about the alternative to union strikes isn't "workers go docilely back to work for peanuts," but "workers drag the boss out of his fancy house and burn it down."

Probably going to get attacked for this but....I have a hard time feeling bad for actors when they talk about not making enough money when so many of them show themselves living a life of luxury and glamor. Like I follow a few lower tier actors online and their houses are amazing and they are always sharing about trips they get and free stuff they get etc, meanwhile I'm here making $16/hr and can't afford own anything or even to go to a doctor let alone a vacation.

I would never vocally say they shouldn't strike or anything and believe people should definitely demand fair treatment, but I just have a hard time getting over my bitter poorperson heart about it all. You know, just one those knee-jerk feelings you have but then you push back because it's irrational or unfair.

For me, it's cdramas. I prefer wuxia or mystery ones, and the idol dramas tend to be a bit... silly. It's a combination of a lot of things, but basically they're made to be brain candy consumable shows, not serious dramas. And that's how I tend to enjoy them, though I've got my limits as well. Romance is often so badly, annoyingly handled that I prefer plots that focus on something else for the main story, but other than that? Go for it.

How about you guys?

Sorry it's late. The day the AO3 was out of commission, it stayed that way for me for the rest of the day, and then I didn't have much time for a while.
