What's Bothering You?

I'm starting to feel very concerned about my sister. She's been falling WAY behind in school, and the last day of school is next month on the 23rd. If doesn't help that she's been suspended for most of the school year because she fought her ex friend in the bus (she's supposed to come back from suspension on the 15th this month). Even though she's suspended from school, she still has assignments to do and turn in. My sister has outright lied to our parents about doing her schoolwork for all this time, and I highly doubt if she'll be able to get caught up by the last day of school.

If she ends up having to repeat the 9th grade, then that's HER fault. I don't wanna have to be responsible for a 14 year old getting caught up on schoolwork when I have to bust my ass off at work because I'm not her ****ing mom. The only problem with my sister is that she's lazy as hell and doesn't really do much around the house besides laying up in her bed, playing on her phone, and talking to her friends online.

I found out that my sister had been smoking weed with our mom, which explained why she constantly felt tired all the time (my dad told me this). She's also VERY easy for our mom to manipulate. I remember this one time where my sister was talking bad about me and she even thought about fighting me because I "disrespected" our mom (I wasn't). My mom sees my sister as less like her daughter and more like her friend, and it shows. My dad is currently trying to divorce my mom so he wouldn't have to deal with her shenanigans anymore.
 
Had a very scary moment. I logged into the work portal to confirm my boss had approved my annual leave for tomorrow, only to find I'd been marked as off sick the past two weeks. This was not showing yesterday.

Panicked phone call to my boss. He said it'll prob fix itself. Asked him to look into it because by time I'm back at work (only place I can access the portal) my next paycheck will be being processed.

20 minutes later he called to say it needed fixed manually but he's done it now.

So it's fixed but OMG I could have lost 25-50% of my income for the month over an admin error. And they wouldn't have paid me back until the following month. 😱
 
Since the Minecraft movie arrived the theatre is a disaster after every showing. Cops coming in, people being escorted out, the ridiculous amounts of trash and more in them. Ridiculous. We don't get paid to spend three hours cleaning a theatre (yes it sometimes takes that long) and doing more sometimes. My co-worker had to clean up some truly gross things that i dont want to say. At least in the staff lounge we now get free donats, and other treats. But still. People are so disrespectful, and thoughtless sometimes.

I need to improve my shower schedule. My mom recommends twice a week but I can only make room for Sunday and I'd rather use the rest of the days for classwork and other things.

I am also very reluctant to shower to begin with. The routine takes a while and the cold sensation I get in the end is not worth it... Actually, I skipped showering on Sunday because I just didn't feel like it, and I got yelled at. Ugh.
 
This is a few days old now but on a Nintendo server I’m part of there were people arguing about the price and this one guy came in saying, quote “you shouldn’t be hyped for it”, at other points him and another guy just complained when others were interested in the games and not talking about prices. I don’t even like Nintendo and hell would freeze before I buy a Switch 2, but it just affirmed how some people make their entire personality complaining. I’ve known this guy and had him blocked for years but I do give blocked posts a chance again sometimes, and I have never seen this guy humble or apologetic or remotely positive about anything. I’ve only ever seen him post to complain, he’s a jerk when you call it out, it really bothers me how some people just don’t change when they’re so obviously unpleasant. Though as for him specifically at this point it’s just funny he tried to stawman me as a fanboy with that classic “leave the multimillion dollar company alone” meme aimed directly at me, when I was one of the first to complain and was calling out his attitude instead. Like how tone-deaf can you be that your attitude is the problem and it’s not that I disagree with your opinion (because I don’t really), it’s just too absurd.

This is probably going to be a bit controversial but, “voting with your wallet” can be seriously overrated sometimes. Is it important and would it be a collective good? Yes but. These two people were trying to act like it was a moral dilemma and just spread negativity to a server with a dozen people. If you’re just going to do that it’s genuinely a “stop having fun” tier response. I DO vote with my wallet on almost everything (I don’t even use Amazon, imagine how annoying that can be when everyone defaults to it and so much is so hard to find here), but I’m not going to lie the biggest impact I have on my own is that I feel morally better for where I put my money in and sometimes just find better products (for what I do, Linux stomps all over Windows, I’m tired of hearing that it isn’t for everyone and seeing people act as though MacOS is much “better”). With that said I’m really not excited to see Lilo and Stitch sweep having basically boycotted Disney for the last decade and a half, there’s a lot about that remake specifically that bothers me and I can smell how much money it’s going to make. Yet here I am and I want to see the Minecraft movie which some people feel similarly about. I’ve been a good boy so let me have a cheat day. Only reason I’m not actually seeing it is my boyfriend is too far to go together and I know the theater is going to be full of kids rather than the zoomers in on the joke group I would actually want to see it with. Garrett seems so me-coded, THE NETHERRR

Also OTOH: “just shut your brain off” is always a lame response, the reason critics respect movies like that so much less is that they take so much less effort and I say this as someone with mega brainrot, it really bothers me that people think critics must be all pretentious and think they have power when they absolutely see how little impact they have and recieve all kinds of nasty complaints from fandom. I used to want to be a critic but then I saw how many people hate it and the anti-intellectuallism and how i would just have had no impact

Measles cases are stressing me out!!! This should not be a disease we are dealing with in 2025!!! The kids in my nursery school are all required to be vaccinated but some of them have little baby siblings at home that are too young to be vaccinated and that worries me.
 
An old man came in with his dog because he was worried about her. He just rescued her and she was covered in fleas. Like....her skin was literally moving.

Both him and the dog were very sweet and he recieved everything needed to get her back on her feet. That's not the issue.

The issue is...I get home and pull fleas out of my hair.....despite having used PPE and multiple cleaning precautions. I can now feel them on me and they're not even there. Ughhhhh
