What's Bothering You?

[Stella-Io]

Why do I like putting myself throu unnecessary stress?

I FINALLY put in my final notice at work, and I gave them a month's notice so they would have some time to hire a new person, AND IF THAT PERSON ACTUALLY UNDERSTOOD ENGLISH, I could train them a bit before I leave.

But now that I'm back at work, I'm reminded how much I dislike it and kinda wished I did just put in a two weeks like a normal person, instead of a month. My only saving grace is that once my time is up, I won't be looking for a new job until January. I'm not going to put myself throu the holiday stress, untrained, and no one having time to train me because of the holiday rush, which will only stress me more.

Also I say actually understood English cause my boss has hired two people who only speak Spanish, a language she doesn't speak. At all. Call me crazy but I don't think it's very smart to hire someone that you have to rely on others to communicate to. Also, my Spanish SUCKS so I can't train them. Not like they are getting trained by the ones who can speak Spanish anyway.

i hate chemistry.. so much. i got another bad grade on a test and i already have a 83 which is a C+

on the test two of the questions didn’t even make sense. my teacher claims that a change in state of matter is a physical change when i put chemical. also that “digesting food” is a chemical change when i had put “solid dry ice turning into gas.” what the hell?! a change in state of matter is a rearrangement of molecules there for IT IS a chemical change, and for the second question either answer could work imo, the dry ice is turning into a new state. i can’t with this class anymore, i hate it. i also don’t know why we need to have a freaking test every week, these teachers jump to the next lesson too fast, i actually need time to absorb the information. i don’t even know how im in an advanced chemistry class in the first place.

I’m stupid and I’d rather not mention my relationship anymore anyway.

What’s really upsetting me is thinking about what I miss and confusion over what’s just killing me versus what’s healthier for me to give up on. Brings to mind a little phrase: is this it? There has to be more than this in life.

I used to have so much hope and wanted to do so much. It’s just meek now. I don’t know what else to run with and I’m stuck being lonely.

Okay this is stupid but kinda bothering me, is it "too friendly" to address your emails with "hi there"?

According to my boss, it is too friendly. But like, isn't that the whole point of building relationships with your clients?? To be friendly with them and form good relations?? I'm confused

My rabbit decided to stop eating, probably cause he started antibiotics and it gives him a tummy ache. I fed him this mushy stuff called critical care so hopefully those rabbit bowels start moving along soon. Random side note but on his bottle of antibiotics it was like "this rabbit will not longer be edible if u give them this antibiotics" and I thought it was kinda weird. Sorry son, you're no longer edible

The product is likely also sold in other countries. Rabbit meat is considered as normal as eating chicken in some areas. e.g. I don't think I've been to a single restaurant in Malta that doesn't have it on the menu.

It is too informal for a professional email. As a general rule, you should begin professional emails with "Dear [name]". It sounds dated and pretentious but it's considered professional email etiquette.

If you or your clients work in academia or certain STEM fields, always use "Dear [title] [surname]", e.g. Dear Dr. Smith. Only ever switch to their first name or a nickname once they've signed their email with it. You might reply, "Hi Debbie" after that - but only in that email chain. Next time you email them about something new you would revert back to "Dear Dr. Smith". If these are colleagues within your immediate team or it is a small company, you'll likely find they're okay with dropping titles - but there are of course some people who will get offended when you do. It's usually easy to figure out from what you are being CC'd into what the unspoken etiquette rules are between coworkers are in your workplace.

I'd say "hi there" might be too friendly (unless they also do it from start) but I usually write "Hi [ first name]" in mine (I don't really have contact with title-surname people and we're 'kinda' informal as long as you don't go "trolololo hey john" or something lol). I can even use "hello" in some and they don't care.

But yeah if you're a more formal place or yeah writing someone first time "Dear Jenny" or something would be more appropriate, yes. Also unless you actually are a professor or something most titles here are rather dropped.

Depending on what your profession is and how well you know the people you are addressing, it can come off of as unprofessional. I'd go with Dear ___ like Chris said or Hi/Hello. I think I've started an email with one of those, but never as informal as hi/hey there.

Two weeks is the norm and a lot of people aren't even doing that anymore. Take it from someone that has seen it happen enough. You're only wasting your time if this isn't the place you want to work anymore. They're just going to use you for every day of that month and aren't going to use that time effectively to find a replacement.

I've given a few places two weeks and even given them people who showed interest and were very qualified for the job. They just screwed around until the last second and on one instance forgot that it was my final week. It's not worth the headache. Unless this company has management that has their act together or treats you well, it's only going to get worst because they know you're leaving and will try to pile more crap on you. I'd only stay if you don't want to burn bridges, but if this job has nothing to do with your future career, it's not worth the headaches.

Wow... ;___; I'm very very sorry and praying they will make it out of it

Also what bothers me is US electronical VAT when you buy like, digital stuff for games. I usually support an MMORPG I play yearly cause you get cool stuff and like playing it. But this digital VAT when using debit card and the fact you don't get it with PayPal irks me, a lot.

Kind of hating myself right now

Spoiler

Wish I could just listen to someone be enthusiastic and ramble about something they love. I feel so lonely, and acquaintances said there’s not much to say really. Do people not want others to listen to them and just to share their love for things they care about, with people they’re friends with? This acquaintance said they’d rather go somewhere else to talk about a specific subject, and it sinks in this is why I never really fit in. I prefer sharing things regardless of what they are with the people I like, because I thought they were my friends and I’d think close friends would simply be happy seeing what their friends like, but it’s apparent now that none of them feel as intensely about it. I used to feel that way. So, I suppose I am just left with acquaintances. This kind of friendship feels more like that, aquaintanceship, than having friends.

What am I supposed to say when I’ve really tried putting myself out there before and tried introducing people to new things and tried asking questions and I just never feel connected to people and I feel so bored. I don’t know what to do anymore. I’ve tried changing myself so many times, but I’m never happy. Over the years I’ve fallen more to this, given up more and I even have a couple of dead conversations which I’m aware are my own fault rn. When I think of picking them up or being enthused again I just remember how all of this has gone on. “Never give up” can pull you out of things sometimes if you take it at face value but on the other hand TRYING takes energy I don’t want to be throwing into a void or at people who don’t care that much, so I guess I’m doomed to feel lonely if when I try people don’t notice, and when I give up it won’t change this.

I feel like I’m just not supposed to exist because at every single turn I’m met with dissatisfaction and disappointment. And it seems like I’m always wrong, I would be open to change, but EVEN AFTER I change and after I’ve tried changing so many times it’s never been enough. THAT makes me hate myself. Maybe I don’t even hate myself. In concept. I think I’m a decent person, I know I try, and I do my best to enjoy things and do things I love. But, I hate that I have to be me and see life with this lens, so lonely. Some people who came to knew me said they admired me or that I had beautoful ideas about life. The problem is nobody really embraces them, so it feels like pity. I feel like I’d be better alone than with people who make me feel lonely and this sucks. But. It’s also sad to enjoy my own company so much more and not feel connected to anyone. Is it morally wrong? No. But it sucks going through it.
