What's Bothering You?

[Bluelady]

Although the book tape did help most of the board books keep their shape. It opened up more of the spine of the “Brown Bear Brown Bear…” book.

I’m disappointed. I tried my best to be careful. Now the book is permanently stuck in an open position. My nephew doesn’t want to touch it anymore. I hope that’ll change by tomorrow.

I'm so tired of not being listened to. My mum spends a lot of time talking to me about problems at home (which I really couldn't care less about as my dysfunctional family is literally unfixable, but I listen regardless), and it doesn't give me much chance to talk about anything going on in my life. I missed my first counseling session because of COVID which sucks. Hell, my parents don't even know that I'm starting counseling again and hopefully getting in with a psychologist soon as I don't even get a chance to tell them.

Then at work I don't get a say in things. My boss is too much of a control freak to let anyone have any say in most matters. Now I'm stuck at home, and God knows whats happening with my projects I'm running. Guess I'll find out once my isolation period ends.

I heard screaming for like 20 seconds while I was walking down the road and it was just two people sitting on the grass. One of them pointed their phone at me and took an unsolicited photo. I might just be paranoid, but it reminds me of when some people I went to high school with did the same thing to bait me into looking at them. Then they took the photo and uploaded it online without my consent. I really hope those people I saw on the street didn’t do the same thing…

I keep worrying that those people on the street will take that picture and send it to one of my friends claiming I was staring at them or something. It’s happened in the past.

Woke-up at 3:30am feeling not nauseous but not quite right either.

I may have possibly been exposed to ringworm by a dog at my job. Boss says the dog looked like he had it, and I was in direct contact with the dog too. It can spread from animal to human by skin to skin contact also.

My boss really is desperate for a dollar, plus she already knew the dog had issues before and yet still let the dog come in after it clearly was not treated, infact it got much worse.

Reading this makes me angry at your boss on your behalf. Putting your staff and clients at risk is not okay.

If you don't have any open wounds then you shouldn't become infected. If you do notice rashes manifesting, an anti-fungal cream such as Clotrimazole (sold under various brand names) is effective at clearing up mild ringworm infection and can typically be purchased without a prescription.

girl at my volunteer job (who doesn't volunteer/work, i'm not entirely sure why she's there) essentially threatened to throw a chair at me, implied i'm a thief, deliberately tried to trigger/antagonize me and repeatedly called me rude + a bunch of other names i can't say all because i said i felt better "now that [her] music's off" after her friend asked how i was when i walked back into the break-room. i almost burst into tears after the first time she left, then did exactly that anyway after recounting the incident to my friend in the warehouse. (he was so sweet about it though, bless him.) he helped me report it to the safeguarding woman, and i ended up coming home early because the whole thing wiped me out. i realize in hindsight that my comment could've come across as mean (thanks, autism!) but i meant it in a grateful/relived way, but even if it had been snarky, i still don't think that justifies her reaction/behavior? after all, she was the one playing her music at full volume in the break room, and the only reason i didn't ask her to turn it off initially is because i didn't want to be mean, and based on her behavior in the past/towards others, i didn't want to risk confrontation if she deliberately turned it up more or called me a killjoy etc.

god, the real world is exhausting. i'm not the first person there to have issues with her (she just returned from a suspension for throwing a chair at someone, so the chance of her actually doing it to me was very real), but fortunately everyone else there is really sweet,

Nerves won't settle. I'm reviewing quality control documents in attempt to bore myself into a state of calm. It's not working.

I love how just because a certain topic gets more talked about and less stigmatized, there's always an (internet) clique who sets the acceptable agenda and if you don't agree with those people you are anti/phobic/stupid etc

Pretty much all my symptoms of COVID are gone, but I still can't taste anything or rather, everything tastes very muted

 

[mogyay]

[xSuperMario64x]

I woke up at 7:24 and my classes start around 7:40. I live about 10 minutes from my school. A few of my things have been going missing as well. A pair of gloves I was using for my Halloween costume disappeared, even though I remember where I put them. My earbuds are gone, and my favorite pencil is gone. I may be going crazy, idk.

the older I get the more tempted I am to ask my doctor abt me possibly taking an ADHD medication. I can't deal w this executive dysfunction stuff anymore. I've literally been sitting here for 2 hours, wanting to eat and the record game footage, and guess what I've accomplished? nothing. because I can't get myself to get up and my perception of time is really wack so before I know it an hour has passed. I'm just tired of this.

I think I’m working too much and I miss having days off. I like the money but I barely get any time to myself. Not that I have any friends that I hang out with, so I’d basically just be chilling in my downtime. I’m working on my days off at my other job. They always ask me if I can work and I always say yes. They praise me and tell me I’m amazing. I was thinking about taking the next week off for myself and only work my first job. My dad told me if I do that, the second job might fire me or not let me come back. It makes me feel bad because I feel like I can’t do as much as he can. I’m only doing 50 hours and that’s okay, but sometimes I just want a weekend off.
I like working full time at my first job. Sometimes my second job wears me out though and I’d just like a break sometimes.

You're only doing 50 hours? Most people do 40 or less. I wouldn't really say that that's only. I often work 40+ and this week I only have one day off. And it's been happening more and more. I totally get it. It's a pain. It doesn't matter if you just use that time to chill. Sometimes you just need to get your batteries recharged.

Let them know in advance and request off like you would with your other job. That way they can't really say anything about it. They don't even need to know why you need the time off. It's not your main job. Most places will cast you aside in a heartbeat and then cry about loyalty. At the end of the day, take care of yourself and think about what is best for you.

Novemberween. Where nothing is opened and if you really want a cheeseburger you gotta make it yourself.
