Vent Your Frustrations • Page 28

I wish there were more mid-level apartments where I live. Most are low income housing which is awesome, and then there's expensive ones downtown, but there's nothing in between.

 

My life is a never ending sitcom and a Dilbert cartoon.

After a 90-minute presentation in which all I covered was the importance of new hire training and that 75% of people who left over the last three years said part or most of the reason they left was because of shitty training the first comment made is...

"Why did you pick on training? What makes you think that's the problem!"

But by all means, continue to pay me a ridiculous salary to do nothing cares about or will fix.

 

there is no bathroom etiquette where i work. it's awful.

the other day the three stalls were occupied so instead of leaving and coming back later, a guy just paced back and forth in front of them, sat on the counter, literally lead against one of the stall doors, waiting for someone to come out. i get you have to shit, but it would have been faster and less psychotic to just use one of the other 12 bathrooms we have in the building. christ, by the time someone did come out and he jumped in the seat would still be warm. gross.

the number of people that don't wash their hands or even pretend is almost gag-enducing by this point. even with the bathroom filled with people, somehow someway the logic of common decency fails some and they walk out of a stall or away from a urinal and just leave. no attempt at cleanliness at all.

a large number of people text, email or whatever on their phone while at the stall. i'm waiting for one of these bastards to drop their phone in the urinal or walk away having pissed all over themselves unknowingly.

 

My job is getting increasingly unbearable.

 

Same

It's frustrating as hell. To spend so much time in a place you despise. It's infredibly frustrating and painful. I'm saving up as much as I can now and counting down the days until I can move on

 

I'm doing that overthinking thing. I had an evaluation at work today and she was telling me the positives and negatives of how I did, and I totally agreed with her on the negs but now I'm worrying I came off argumentative or trying to justify what I should've done better cause I could have been perceived as making excuses. But really I was like "nah I totally agree, this thing happened that led to it. My b." which I don't think was argumentative and we joked and laughed during the discussion and I walked away finding it a positive interaction, but my brain just won't have any chill. I'm paranoid and weird.

 

Update: After almost 5 months of job hunting I got an offer from one of my dream companies. I finally reached a breaking point at my current place and I just started applying to almost anything I could find that was related to what I wanted to do. Something just clicked. I know it's tough being at a job where you're so miserable you can barely get out of bed in the mornings, but something better is out there!

 

I feel like most of my major frustrations right now are work-related too. I went to school for communication and journalism and actually got my degree but I've working in a 24 hour emergency/specialty animal hospital for over a year now and it's exciting and interesting and I really like a lot of the people I work with but I have no long-term interest in animal medicine (I work nights at the front desk so it's like a super complex reception job basically) and I'm underpaid and overworked and we're corporately owned and everyone is stressed out almost all of the time and we had a really useless hospital manager for a long time and the new one just started a couple weeks ago but she's already making changes that make me nervous like fucking with our previously pretty damn good employee discount. So many things. Sigh.

 

The day I get out of the medical field will be the greatest day of my life. I never want to hear another doctor again, ever.

 

Most of my friends with journalism degrees started out in the field and are now doing something completely different 2-3 years later. Actually come to think of it most of my friends (including me) are not really using their degrees lol

 

It makes me feel guilty or something.

 

You totally shouldn't. I think it's normal that a lot of people either a) go into college not really knowing what they want to do so they end up with a degree just to have one or b) find that the reality of working in their chosen field isn't actually for them, so they end up working in a random field.

And if you just aren't even sure yet, that's ok too. Idk when everyone decided that we all need to have our lives figured out at like 18 but that's definitely not the reality for most of us. And if it makes you feel better, I've been working in a field different from my degree since I graduated (over 2 years now) and I'm still not even sure if it's what I want to do lol

 

Seriously wish my company would change and pay us hourly. So sick of being paid based off production, especially since I have all these things I'm required to do which I don't get paid for since I'm not "producing" any lines. Why should I be paid on production when there is so much more to my job than just sitting there typing lines?? Like when I have to spend a shit ton of time trying to figure out what drug the doctor is saying because they can't pronounce it. Not getting paid for that. Or when I have to send 15 copies and have to look up each one, usually having to look them up multiple times because I don't know how to spell the name of the doctor they are going to. Not getting paid for that either. So over this.

 

Today was a bad day at work and I wasn't at my best. I hate that. I'm going to obsessively think about it until Monday when I can try to redeem myself. I let my frustrations take over. I don't know what to do. I've tried so many things and it's so hard.

 

Waking up to the sound of my parents watching Trump's rally.

 

My sister changed into the same outfit I was wearing all day and started screaming at me for wearing it all the time (this isn't the first time we've worn this same outfit on the same day. both times I was wearing it first and she changed into it later. obviously she wears it the same amount as me lol) and wouldn't let me get into the car to have halloween with my nephew screaming that she won't sit next to me cause I won't go home and change. we're at her house. she can easily change. this is stupid. I don't even want to go now. I hate being around her sometimes. how stupid and petty can you be?

 

I've never seen someone act so nasty towards me than this lady did today. She was accusing me of the most abusured things that aren't even true. She was even telling me I should quit my job and hopes I have a good future, etc. Just really rude things were coming out of her mouth. She had nothing nice to say. Like what the actual fuck. My co worker strongly things she's racist because she's seen very similar things before at her other job. AND she was only like this with me.

 

My lips are so chapped and I want to die.

 

Mine too, I have no idea why.

 

Y'all cursed me. I forgot my chapstick today.

 

Work.

 

Pretty sure my friend who is a financial planner literally signed me up for bullshit, fucking me pretty hard, and got a nice bonus for doing so....

 

My school's internship posting system said I was selected for an interview at a place, but the place didn't contact me. I asked my advisor wtf was up and he said they plan on interviewing me but something high priority came up and they were holding off.

Next day I find out one of my friends had an interview there the day prior and they immediately offered him the job.

 

What is so hard about using your turn signals.

I don't even know why car companies bother putting them on cars anymore. No one uses them anyway.

 

I passed out at a show last night (like lost consciousness and fell down on the floor) and now my sister in law and my dad are both telling me to go to a hospital and get checked out. I'm pretty sure it was just because I was dehydrated and tired and hadn't eaten much all day but I've almost passed out many times before and it's never actually happened. They had medics check me out and everything and they wanted to take me to a hospital because everything seemed normal but they had no way to check my heart out and that made me nervous because there are definitely members of my family with heart conditions.
