What's Bothering You?

i hate icebreakers so much, my history teacher is making me do this thing tomorrow where we’re supposed to tell two truths (things that you have done) and a dream (a thing that you want to do but haven’t) and i have no idea what to put, some of our lives aren’t that interesting lol.

aside from that i hate my schedule, i have only one class that i don’t hate which is english. the other reason why i hate my schedule is because lunch is at 11:00 which messes up everything else, there used to be 2 classes after that but now there’s 3 which is going to make school feel even longer.

oh and im actually interested in talking to someone in my class for once but i don’t know how to go about doing that. i’m lonely and i’ve probably solidified myself as being unfriendly anyway.
 
First day of school. I don't know why I'm so nervous about it, I mean it's practically the same protocol as every year. I just hope my best friend is gonna be there. T-T
 
I finally had the ingrown toe nail removal procedure done. While I'm glad that this mess is almost over with, it hurts like a mother.

Another problem now. Job hunting related.
A colleague of my sister mentioned that they were hiring at a school. The position is for playground supervisor I think. It's 3 hours a day, however the hours are separated. For example 8-9 am, then 12 pm-1pm, and 3 pm-4 pm. I don't like it because what am I going to do between those hours? It's not Iike I can wait outside in my car. It's too hot outside. Driving back and forth will be a pain, especially if the location is a bit far.

Also, they start interviewing this Friday. That's a little bit too close for comfort since I don't know anything about that place. Also, who is going to watch my nephew between those hours? Is my sister going to quit her job or is she going to leave him with our mother? My mom is in her 60s already and gets tired more easily now. I have a lot to think about today.

idk I'm just feeling kinda sad and anxious rn. lots on my mind. I'm waiting for my mom to be done w her appt so we can go home and I can actually relax for a bit.
 
Sister of my fiance who has a 1 month old wants to do way too long distance holidays already with her and is refusing to accept that now with a baby life is not as "free" as it was before.. it annoys me, as she insists on getting tips on how we handled it with a (almost) 1 year old.. told her that with 3 months a 4 hour trip with the car was hell.. now imagine putting the stress of a 2+ h long carride + min. 2h flight on a not even 2 months old. I find it honestly careless and it disgusts me..
 
Me: Hey can we do x instead of y? I don't like y because reasons
Other person: Okay yeah, sure, no prob!
My brain: wow you horrible controlling monster. you manipulative villain. wallow in the misery of your hollow victory you pathetic scoundrel
 
I started watching a movie on Netflix before bed, got sleepy, then turned it off halfway through. I'm feeling really rough this morning so told my boss I'll come in for noon instead of 8am. Seeing as I'm already awake I decided to watch the rest of that movie to take my mind off the nausea and, oh look, it was removed from Netflix overnight! I'm annoyed.
 
I used to get fresh air from walking but there’s always chimney smoke now and it’s too strong, always someone blasting music along the way too. I don’t like this neighbourhood. I just want peace and quiet.
 
1. My friend has set up a "secret" Instagram account (which is set public) and she has been posting on it for a while now but for some reason I am no longer privy to that new public account... but of course her boyfriend is. Oh well it's nice to know how much I mean to her these days despite the fact any conversation we do have always ends with her not replying even when the conversation is in full flow etc.

2. My neighbour's have set up a CCTV camera in their front window (badly disguised by a bird box) and it's pointed directly at our driveway which is shared between us and two other households all because one of their bushes accidentally got destroyed by a delivery driver last week. The DPA (2018) states CCTV should not be pointed at neighbouring properties, shared spaces or public areas which is the exact opposite of what they've done.

3. The bus I catch home from work is no longer allowed to stop at one of the stops I get off so I now have to switch buses (again) which means I get home later than normal. Also that means I will now have to pay out over £100 a month for a monthly ticket as I have no choice but to use the other bus service despite the fact that we're in a Cost of Living Crisis and £100 a month is a lot.
 
Obnoxiously positive co-workers... Like okay there's not much we can do about the move which sucks big time but can you stop being so positive about it, our current place is fine and if you think it's "dark and grey" or whatever just go outside and take some water or air...bruh. Like please be somewhat critical ffs.
 
It’s just another stressful day. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.
 
today lunch at school was a disaster. there was plenty of open tables so i sat down at one in the corner. a girl from my class joined my table and i moved because i thought that maybe she wanted to be alone, i mean she’s usually alone and i think she sat at the table that i chose to sit at today last year so i didn’t want to invade her space. my aunt and brother said that i probably came across as rude, i mean i thought that too but i was like she probably thought it was awkward that some random person was sitting at her table. i think im going to approach her tomorrow at lunch and be like “hi can i sit here? i didn’t know if you wanted to be alone or not yesterday so i moved” would that be weird since i moved away from her yesterday? i also want to talk to her and not just sit there but i don’t know what to say.
 
i don't know why i constantly think about how short life is (and by extent the meaninglessness of the day to day monotony) but it never fails to get me down. especially when i realize i don't have time for, well, anything beyond work & school at this point in my life. it feels like i'm wasting what little time i have (even though i'm in my 20s??????). why am i thinking about this. ugh.
