What's Bothering You?

i'm so frustrated with everyone not taking the pandemic seriously. cases are surging & all of my coworkers are still anti-mask. i work at a coffee chain and nearly everyone i work with takes their masks off at work, refuses to wear gloves that are required by corporate, and constantly like shares drinks, goes out with large groups outside of work, etc.

this **** isn't funny. i put my mask on in the car before i get out and i don't take it off for my entire 9 or 10 hour shift. EVER. i change my gloves every few hours. i am constantly looking for better fitting, more effective masks. i don't go out unless i absolutely have to. and i feel like i'm the only one who gives a **** about covid-19 anymore where i live. another one of my coworkers tested positive, so we're back to reduced hours & a closed lobby. and STILL no one wants to wear a mask or gloves.
 
Bothered by a lot of things lately. My odd sleeping schedule. My inadequacies. The situation I’m in with my mom having cancer. The fact that I could have a full-time job and my own place right now as well as be better off if it weren’t for the pandemic and my state leading the nation in cases. The drama and stupidity that comes out of people never ceases to amaze me. People these days really just need to learn how to chill more.
Sending you positive vibes. ❤ There is a lot more to life than only work, and being able to live out on your own shouldn't be your only measure for success.

Yeah, people can be pretty petty. "Common sense" is pretty much a misnomer. I'm still working on not letting the people around me affect me too much, especially if they do/say something that irks me. I started reading into the philosophy of stoicism, which has helped me to start changing my mindset.

You're a good friend. We're all just doing the best that we can, especially in these times. Make sure you're filling your own bucket first and foremost.

</3 We ****ing love you and we've got your back here on the forums. Wishing you the best Riley. ❤

Thank you, and you’re right. There are other things I want to accomplish in life other than just having my own place. Namely giving back to those in need and helping others.

Thank you, Dawn. I love you guys too. :giggle:
 
Very bothered when a business that sells an extremely necessary thing to the masses, and it's employees lie to you because they're "busy" or too lazy, I have no idea why.

Also, much love to you and your family right now @Midoriya! <3 My mom had cancer and beat it. Praying that your mom does as well! 💕

Thank you, Katzenjammer. That’s very sweet of you. 🥺
 
Well I’ve recently got sick and so did my family and I kinda feel bad that I got everyone sick in my house and my grandma just moved in and our bedroom is trashed with stuff from her house it’s not bad she moved in it’s just that my room is trashed.

Praying for your mom to heal 🙏💜
I am sorry that you have to deal with all of this and I hope that things will shine brighter for you soon...!
It has definitely been a very difficult year, and even more so with your state having the most cases 😖

Thank you, Kuroh. That’s sweet of you to say. We’re doing our best to stay safe, and so far no one in my family nor myself has the virus. I’m not going to let it happen. 😤

I'm so sorry to hear about your mom. :( I hope you both are doing as well as you can be right now. Let me know if you ever need anything.
And I get the feeling of helplessness. Idk that there's really anything I can say to help other than that I've been there myself, but I don't think you're as inadequate as you feel. A lot of the time we're our own worst enemies, and I think the pandemic hasn't really helped with that because it gives us more time to be in our heads than might be good for us.

Thank you, Lady Timpani. That’s sweet of you to say. :)
 
This project that I worked hard on for one of my classes got marked as missing even though I turned it in and on time. I wrote to the teacher about it in several places. It’s been over 24 hours and she hasn’t gotten back to me. This assignment is a big portion of my grade and if I don’t do well in it I don’t see how I can pass this class. If she doesn’t get back to me or doesn’t accept this assignment I’m just going to have to drop the class on Monday. This class has been nothing but stressful for me from the beginning.

I’m sorry you’re having to deal with this, Renee. I know you worked really hard on this, and I hope that they get back to you and let you know it’s accepted. :)
 
god. i genuinely don’t know what to say other than that i’m so sorry and that i really hope things get better for you. as someone who also routinely has bad things happen one after another on a regular basis, i definitely understand just how overwhelmed and exhausted you feel rn and having to deal with other stuff like assignments when it seems like everything around you is crumbling down is devastating. but i truly hope that things get better for you; you don’t deserve to have to go through months of misery.
thank you for responding. it means a lot to me. but i am terribly sorry that you are also going through a similar situation. you don't deserve it either and i hope that things improve on your end:(
