What's Bothering You?

My heart goes out to you. Lost my 16 year old kitty Keiko over two years ago and I still think about her every single day.
They'll live on in your memories forever. ❤

Today I Learned that I am getting paid under minimum wage at my job, but there are some legal BS loopholes that can prevent me from gettin min wage.

However that won't hold up till next year. Next year when min wage goes up, tips will not be able to cover what they 'owe' me, and they prob won't have enough money to pay 11$/hr. So I gotta look for a new job. Which really sucks cause I actually like this job. The pay is Not Great and not livable but my mental health is not in the bottom of the barrel and O actually get consistent hours, 32-40 every week. It was the opposite for my old job. But I have been thinking of getting a new job since my current job won't give me opportunities to expand, despite me saying I want to learn more. Opportunities to learn new things are constantly being given to others. In fact! Even today one coworker was teaching a NEWBIE, her first day, finishing stuff, like, hello I'm right here?? It took me months before I was taught that stuff.

I keep being told I need to get better even thou I have in some aspects. I'll have a brief chat with the one coworker but I'm sure she'll say the same thing, putting me back at square one. I've worked here for almost a year now, I consider Halloween to be my anniversary, and I'm still blow drying dogs and cleaning up poop. We're short staffed and I get the feeling they aren't looking hard enough for a new back worker since it isn't directly affecting them.

I did talk to my boss about raising my pay to min wage, ans she said she would, but I got the impression she wasn't happy that she had to. She didn't tell me tips are compensating for what I'm not gettin in min wage. Also, I'm not a tipped worker. The tips I get come from a pool, I never get directly tipped, no one does at work. My tips also get taxed since they go into my paycheck.

This isn't the first time they've messed with my pay. In the beginning of September I was supposed to get a raise. For two weeks it wasn't put in. When I talked to the person who does payroll, she said she forgot to put it in and it would be in next week. It was, but I was never compensated for those 2 weeks of not having my raise.

So yeah, I gotta look for a new job so I can actually get paid what I'm supposed to.

Our place only has one parking space and some lady who visits a house like three doors down from us keeps taking it even though there's plenty of space at the house she's actually visiting to park her car ***** I swear to god

I think my switch is bricked.

I went to play some animal crossing, and I picked up my switch from the dock, and hit the power button… and nothing happened. I tried all the steps Nintendo had on their support page but it made no difference. Unplugging and plugging back in the adapter, trying my other dock, and right now I have it using my pro controller charger plugged in to the dock.

I’ll admit I was using an Insignia dock most of time, which is Best Buy’s generic brand, but I looked it up and it has the same hardware that the Nintendo one has. My Nintendo dock isn’t charging it either.

I have an online subscription, that I in fact just renewed the other day, so I could still access my island on a different Switch, but I really don’t want to buy another game console right now. I just bought the new Xbox…

My switch isn’t even that old either. I got it as a gift in December 2019 for New Horizons. I’m just really fed up with it right now.

Update: I plugged it into a different power adapter and it works!!! It lit up! But I don’t feel safe charging it without the Nintendo dock so I’ll just order a new adapter.

Thank you ❤ I lost a young cat last year due to a dog attack they were best friends so they are now together in heaven.

sending you lots of hugs for this and about your recent news. . please let me know if you need to talk or anything. I’m here for you and am sorry about both. it breaks my heart too .

My mom does not think my gray cat is doing good and she thinks she is going blind which she says is a symptom her condition. She is still responsive to me and seems fine aside from the fact she is staying in my dad’s room in a basket. :/ I am not ready. I want her to live six more months at least without suffering. I know i am being selfish, but my kitties are everything to me.

My mom just came home from a party and explained what she meant about my cat not being being able to see; she apparently is walking into things so my mom and dad have to carry her from her basket to eat :/ and so she is going downhill fast. i don’t want to accept that i might be time soon she still is purring and showing affection. she isn’t out of it like her sister was when her sister was still here and sick.

I’m still physically sick from the stress of being blocked. It’s gotten so bad that I haven’t been able to focus on my overdue essay. Now I have to go to the doctor to see what’s wrong…

Just a little tired. Not a lot of "me time" recently, and my mum certainly isn't helping things this morning. She's like a little baby that needs her diaper changed, incapable of doing anything herself in this age of technology. I know it's not really her fault, but I couldn't help but resent her (and my dad, of course). Filiality doesn't suit me. I know Asians are supposed to be big on filiality and respecting your parents, but I never could feel any kind of attachment towards my parents due to the lack of love I felt from them growing up. I find my mum to be a bother. I'm a grown man who couldn't get away from his mother. I'm a walking textbook cliché.

I shouldn't go on talking about this anymore though, or it would get dark again like last time because I have far more poisonous thoughts I'm trying to keep to myself. God knows I wouldn't want to upset anyone with my feelings.

UTI. Can't get antibiotics without seeing a doctor first... don't think they would accept my out of state insurance either. It hurts.

I’m bothered by so many things right now.

Work was terrible. I hated being there today, and wish I hadn’t picked up this person’s shift for them. I’m so sick of trying in life and just want to give up. Everyone always gives the same old “it’ll get better” crap, but it has been a year and a half since I graduated from university and nothing is getting better. In fact, everything is getting worse. I can’t get a good job that makes use of my degree, and every place I work at is low on employees because people keep quitting their jobs. It’s just an entire mess. Add onto all of this that I’ve been at home most of the time during this pandemic, my mom died from cancer, and I have Aspergers, and you have a recipe for disaster. I don’t even think I’m using my time wisely, and I don’t hangout with any friends in real life anymore, not even my best friend. My sleep schedule has been messed up for over a year, to the point where my life span could be shortened. I’m so sick of pretending I care about others when there’s been countless nights where I cried hysterically and no one was there to care about me or hug me. The only three good qualities about myself are that I’m kind, I’m good at martial arts, and I’m good at writing. But you can’t make a career out of being kind, so that’s worthless. I can’t make a career out of my martial arts either, and I haven’t wrote in a long time because I’ve lost all my passion for it, even though I’m good at it. I don’t know what to do about all of this. The world just keeps getting crappier and crappier by the day…

Hey, sorry to hear you're not doing well right now. And in my opinion, "being kind" isn't worthless. It's actually probably one of the most valuable things in the world, naïve as that might sound. A lot of people could use more of being kind. And honestly, I like seeing you around anyway, not to mention liking what you write.

And the truth is, I've been there, man, that feeling of wanting to give up on everything, trying in life, feeling worthless and just giving up on my passions altogether; all that jazz. And I think that I'm still living that phase even though it's been better nowadays. I know it's cliched, but I think what helps is just to take each day at a time. I think there came a point in my life when I became so numb to my own suffering and loneliness that I just took what life offers me each day. It's not the most practical solution, but talking to people does help ease that pain a little bit... till we make it to the next day. The forum has plenty of friendly folks that will be there for you should you need a smile.

And in my opinion, I don't think it will ever get better for most people, at least not in any significant manner. I've accepted that, which is why it's easier to just get through each day not feeling disappointed, just taking what I can get. It's not something pleasant to hear, but sometimes, life gets to a point where it's too tiring to just try harder anymore, and I think it's perfectly okay to just be content with that. They say that true happiness isn't about getting everything, but to be content with what you have. Food for thought.

I'm pretty sure my glasses are giving me headaches. I've tried re-fitting them a few times and nothing seems to feel right I think my prescription lenses are either too strong or too weak...

Spoiler: sick kitty

At noon is the last time I see my kitty. I’m so devastated . She hasn’t eaten or used the litter box since i helped her last night. I’m not ready to say good bye

 

[Aminata]

Oh man I feel this. I get UTIs all the freakin time and it's torture. You can get meds called AZO or Uristat (the active ingredient is Phenazopyridine) from the grocery store to help with the pain until you get to a doctor, it wont go away without prescribed antibiotics but the pain relief helps a lot.

Is there a CVS walk-in clinic nearby? They can prescribe antibiotics within minutes. I visited one several years ago, when I also had out of state insurance...I don't remember how much it ended up costing me, but I think it was pretty reasonable. I think Planned Parenthood is another option.
