What's Bothering You?

[Stella-Io]

Pleeease hire some help at work for the back, the person who does help out in the back keeps doing front stuff. Plus, it's the busy season, so we're busier now. I don't think my boss is adamant about it cause it doesn't directly affect her, she replaced the groomer within like 2 days, but it's been over a month and the back area is still short staffed.

Like I can handle cleaning up the back area alone, and I even prefer to do it myself cause everyone is is skimpy with cleaning or forgets stuff, but drying off 2 huskies with a crappy blow dryer by myself? Not fun.

Coming down with a fever (probably due to the vaccine from yesterday). Ordered some acetaminophen, so hopefully that will help with both the muscle soreness and the fever.

I will never understand why people on Nookazon give me and others 1 star reviews just because they made a mistake and they have no idea how to deal with criticism. Now I remember why I quit that site last year. I had to file several reports because of abusive 1 star reviews. They damaged my mental health and really made me step away from trading for good.

Ugh, revenge rating? I hate when people do that. It makes ratings seem not so accurate these days. I’ve never experienced a revenge rating myself, but Nookazon seems filled with those.

It was a miscommunication I had with this seller who posted a review, before we did the trade. I was saying to them "I hope you have the diy" basically I was giving them 100 nmts for a Golden Slingshot DIY and I was hoping she did not trade it away to the wrong person. Thankfully when I went to their island they apologized for their mistake and they gave me the DIY. I gave her a 4 star review saying that although they made a mistake the trade went well. Then for whatever reason she just went crazy and give me a 1 star review, just because of the rating I gave her. Ugh! It really bothers me when people do that.

As most of you know, I currently live with my dad. He is letting me stay with him for free to save money and leave the state. Unfortunately, my mom is back at it with the negativity. I hate to say it, but I can’t stand being around her sometimes because she always says things like “it didn’t work out last time” or “why don’t you just stay here?” I’ve been wanting to leave for upwards 7 or 8 years, and I’ve been trying to pursue it since graduation. I don’t think that many years is “just a phase.” I blame my own negativity for the reason it didn’t work out the past two times I tried. The negativity from my mom and my uncles were killing my mindset. I actually blocked out my uncles and I haven’t seen them in over 4 years. However, it’s really hard to do that with my mom and somehow it makes me feel wrong to cut contact with her temporarily? It would just be until I get approved for an apartment and moved in. I can’t listen to “when are you coming back” or “you’ll be back where you belong” much longer. I feel this is the right time for the leap of faith. I have a whole month booked in an AirBNB to look for a job and a place, and savings in case I need more time, and for the rent down on a place. I finally have the confidence I need and I don’t want the negativity to bring me down, but I think cutting contact for the beginning of this journey is absolutely necessary.

The negativity got so far into my mindset that I couldn’t even find the motivation to call apartments to attempt to find a place…

Sorry that you’re dealing with that. That sounds incredibly frustrating. I am glad you have the confidence! Gl! Sending you good vibes and hope you can get out of this situation.

just feeling very depressed and lethargic

I hate that I've put off getting my dog's flea collar for so long but they're really pricey ugh
luckily my mom said she would help me pay for it.

Still depressed about things and can't get a good job. There's no point in trying anymore...

Don't be so hard on yourself! I know it's not easy, I've been there... probably many people here have been there as well. It may take time, and I understand feeling down when you're discouraged... but don't give up! Breathe calmly, perhaps give yourself a break? Think of things that may make you feel better, like hobbies... or even just taking a nap and let yourself rest it's good. There are no perpetually bad times, the good ones must come around eventually.

I know that my words won't help much, but please remember to be nice to yourself

had to stay an hour extra cause the slow truck guys who pick up/leave books obviously had to come last minute (my co-worker couldn't stay cause she had to go early)... like bruh at least try and be somewhat on time *rolls eyes*

 

[_Rainy_]

I couldn’t sleep last night and then overslept. I tried to make one of this pancake in a cup things and burned it because 60min and 60 seconds are not the same thing. Just tired and out of it. My house now smells like burnt popcorn. Also these people are getting their house bombed for cockroaches next week and last time it made me feel sick to come here

Also I realized that people on Nookazon are way too perfect and relying on the 5 star rating. The person who gave me a 1 star review had 133 reviews and all of them were 5 stars and the moment I gave her a 4 star because I was trying to point out the mistake and even though I was being nice and genuine she lashed out. Maybe sometimes people feel "pressured" to give others a 5 star review because if they don't they will start to get what you call "revenge reviews" even though you are being honest and pointed out mistakes that can be improved.

This is a common issue I see on that site and I spoke to a mod about it and they say that they get a lot of reports of "Invalid/abuse Reviews" and its something that they have a hard time dealing with. I just don't get why people are so sensitive sometimes. Nobody should feel "pressured" to give someone a 5 star review rating just because they made a mistake, there should be honest reviews that point out what went wrong and to warn others of what to look out for when trading with other people. Its a messy situation thats for sure.

I'm depressed, and the room is a mess. Thankfully my roommate is in isolation because of COVID -- it really is a disaster and I need to put things away. I'm depressed.

i've been working seven days a week for about two and a half months now and i'm really starting to feel it. i'm tired all the time and all i do is work and sleep. all of my friendships have taken a hit and i'm mostly alone now. i need to either find a full time job or hope that one of my part time jobs eventually moves full time. i can't take this schedule for much longer.

hate when people don't understand what I'm going through and the mental stress I'm put under every day from myself and others, yet they have the nerve to call me "lazy" because I don't have a job. like **** you too then.

I can relate to how you're feeling. Thats how I felt when it seemed that everything and everyone was against me.

Idk if it's an option, but there is this topical stuff that goes on a dogs neck if they have fleas at that moment that kills them. It might be a cheaper solution, thou idk if they all act as preventatives. My dog doesn't wear collars so when she gets fleas (from the outside cats) my parents put this K9 Advantage Guard stuff on her neck. Or special shampoo if they have fleas at that momet that kills fleas pretty quickly. I don't know of any other preventative stuff other than HeartGuard that will kill heart worms if they happen to get any. I think it works for other things too, but I'm not sure.

My dog stays inside alot so she typically doesn't get fleas, but since the outdoor cats hang around here they spread the fleas to her. I can't recall a time she got fleas from just being outside.

Also yeah flea/tick collars are expensive

I used to get him nexgaurd chewables (or whatever it's called) but the problem is those are $22 a piece and they only last 1 month. this time around I got him a Seresto flea collar, which was $56 and lasts 8 months. I don't usually use flea collars but we've been using them with our cats and they work surprisingly well. we haven't used topical flea killer since my cat died from an overdose of it in 2018.

Oh wow flea collars sound better, I didn't realized how long they lasted

And omg I'm so sorry about your cat

I think sometimes it's best to remember that only you know what you can handle and what's best for you. I've had to learn to tune out people like that, if all they're gonna do is belittle me then they aren't worth my time.

it's okay, I'm honestly still torn over her but we've learned from our mistake. I just got my dog the collar today so I'm hoping he clears up soon. pretty sure he has flea dermatitis so the poor thing has been itching nonstop.
