Vent Your Frustrations • Page 13

First post in here and I'm happy I found it. I just had a phone interview and it went awful. I mean, AWFUL. By then end of it my shirt was wet, my heart was beating out of the chest, and my hands were shaking. If I could do it over again i'd tell the interviewer to go **** themselves and go ******* dig a ******* hole in the ground and jump in and ******* call it a day you ******* ****.

 

I have been craving ice cream all day and have none at my house. For the past 45 minutes I have heard the damn ice cream truck and I don't know where it is but it is refusing to come down my road. It's like it's taunting me ugh. I just want some ice cream!!!

 

When people demand an apology for something that "almost" happened. The nerve on some people is unreal.

 

Thankfully I don't go to doctors or have serious medical needs, but I feel like my insurance through work wouldn't be much better

 

OMG! The ice cream truck finally just came down my road but I still didn't get any ice cream. My road has a grass divider thing in between it (so each side is basically a one-way street...I'm horrible at explaining things). So I saw it across the grass area thingy and I'm standing outside like YES FINALLY HERE IT IS! But nope. It went down that side of the road and then turned down the next road over and didn't come down my side. So rude ice cream man, so rude. Next time I'm chasing him and his adorable dog that rides with him down!

 

today was probably the worst day ive had in..... 3 years?

I need to find a new place to live and naively assumed that all the places I was interested in had openings. Turns out virtually none of them do.

 

I need more friends. It's just kinda sad now. I care too much what ppl think. I don't mind being a loser loner but I hate people talking about me and thinking I'm a loser loner.

 

I wish I could make it through one single day of work without having to deal with a crying coworker. It happens daily. Emotionally weak people are the bane of my existence, and I work in an office full of them.

 

the usps is so goddamn incompetent and inefficient. My dealings with them this week:

1) Certified mail (that I have no idea what it is) redeliver slip left at the bottom of my mailbox (aka I couldn't see it). They won't respond to my online redeliver request, the mailman didn't see it left in the mailbox, they didn't write the sender on the slip (they're supposed to) and refused to do anything over the phone (after spending a day calling with no answer) but tell me I have to come in to pick it up .

2) Went to ship an Ebay package (different post office; hours that I can actually get to it) and they refused to give me like, a little bit of tape to tape the package shut and the label I printed; had to buy tape from them.

3) A "parcel" from Amazon that they wouldn't just leave at my apartment (either in the mailbox or on the side of the building like they do for nearly every other package), left redeliver slip, they obviously won't redeliver. Filled it out to allow my roommate to pick it up from the post office but the guy refused to let him because "anyone can sign it" and refused to set it up for redelivery.

 

Also the letter and package are at different post offices a mile apart

 

okay, we just got an intern who just turned 20. whatever that's cool. but the only reason he got hired was because he's the son of a friend of a friend of the boss. and he wanted to "try to see if i like it". Sure, you can learn easily, but you need to also be passionate about it. this kid is your typical rich "i spend my summers in europe" cali kid and his portfolio SUCKS for a student. it's a, "i'm just trying to get by" portfolio. He would never have gotten hired on if he didn't know our boss. It irks me that there's so many other qualified applicants that would bust their ass, and is way more passionate than this kid, who is struggling to find a job/an opportunity. When I graduated, I had to BEG and work my ass off to be even interviewed. this kid just got hired without an interview. UGH.

 

You should just kick him in the shins.

 

Kick him in the shins and then if your boss asks you why you kicked him, say "I did it just to see if he'd like it."

Violence and irony.

 

I like the way you think.

 

I hate that. Jobs have become more about who you know more than your qualifications. It's really sad.

 

hahaha AND a lesson they don't teach you in school. if only, but I'm scared of HR

 

Totally. I mean, i did get this current job because i knew someone but at least I was passionate and busted my ass. I just feel bad for all the other candidates

 

So I'm dealing with a pretty nasty cough and chest congestion. I finally decided to go to the doctor about it this morning after figuring out that Mucinex and NyQuil weren't doing the trick.

After going through the usuals (weight, height, BP, temp) with the nurse she told me the doctor will be right in. I am the only person in the clinic at this time, no other patients were there at all. 35 minutes later the doctor finally comes in. He proceeds to stand in the doorway on the opposite side of the room and doesn't introduce himself or converse with me except the following exchange:

Him: Cough?
Me: Yes sir.
Him: Runny nose?
Me: Yes sir.
Him: Can you take penicillin?
Me: Yes sir.
Him: Ok.

Then he turns around and walks out without saying anything else. 30 seconds of total face time with the doctor and he never came within 15 feet of me. After sitting there confused for another 10 minutes or so, I got up and walked back to the front desk. The nurse looks up at me and said "Ok, you're all set. We're sending in your prescription to your pharmacy over the internet."

So I leave and drive to my pharmacy. When I get there they tell me they don't have a prescription request from my doctor. I call the doctor's office... no answer. I leave and go back to work, wait an hour, and call my pharmacy back. Still nothing from my doctor. Call the doctor again... no answer. Not knowing what else to do, I drive back to the doctor's office during my lunch break. When I get there, the office is closed and there's a sign on the door saying they will be closed until Monday. I call the pharmacy one last time to make sure they didn't send in my prescription before leaving and the answer is, of course, no.

Now I'm going to have to go to Urgent Care after work today and pay out of pocket for the appointment just to have another doctor actually submit a prescription for me. What should cost $30 is now going to end up costing close to $200.

 

This would piss me off so much I would probably leave a nasty note on the door for the doctor to get on Monday. What an asshole.

I hope you feel better soon. Get yourself some of these items.

 

My lil sis can be such an ass. I know she's 16 but I still had sense to be graceful towards ppl who were doing me favors at that age. I picked her up from school this week, buy her food sometimes, and I consistently drop her bf back at his house when he visits (35 min away) and without me doing that for her she prob wouldn't even see him ever. But then she flips at me over the smallest things. Basically if I don't do everything she says exactly the way she wants it. She flips on me out of nowhere and it makes me not wanna do things for her. But she's impossible to talk to cause she's so defensive and nothing is her fault. It's always everyone else's fault cause everyone is so annoying. I'm torn between counting down the days to when she'll chill, to being concerned that's she's not gonna grow out of it and be a super spoiled and mean person.

 

I love everything about daily coffee but lately I've noticed it making me particularly anxious and unable to focus. I've done a couple day trial of not drinking any coffee and I've felt a lot more relaxed and balanced throughout the day.

Hate to admit it, but it looks like I might have to kick coffee to the curb other than on occasions when I really need the energy. There's always decaf I guess, but it's just not the same. Small problem, really, but I tend to get a lot of enjoyment out of little rituals in my day like grabbing a cup of coffee.

 

my boyfriend's mom is here for dinner and she is like, hollistic healing crazy lady #1. today's gems include: rice from china is fake, butter is evil, THC oil can cure cancer, she is currently ranting about how kalamari is secretly pork and how it is evil (pork has parasites, u know)...... she also thinks the appendix is necessary and that when ben's sister's appendix burst she shouldn't have had the emergency removal surgery. i'm like....choking right now. biting my tongue so hard. pls send me yr good vibes.

 

wut.
