The Vent Thread

[dreamawake]

I'm still here, just felt like writing to get some of this shit off of my chest. I'm just honest in my writing and that's how I feel.

[Ileia]

- Fever and dizzy spells, headache and blurry vision (now with sore throat and runny nose)
- Haven't been able to do shit on my Quickening video for the last few days because of the above and other stuff, had a cool idea that I'll have to scrap because now I won't have time. I'll be lucky to make a mediocre video, let alone anything good.
- Internet won't stay connected, I can't get anything done, can't even watch a streaming movie to relax
- Bad news from several places (Quu, for one. :/)
- Various money troubles
- Tried multiple times to sleep and I just can't.

Today is just a shitty, shitty, shitty day.

I hear ya. Just a huge day of bad luck. FYI. . . umm. . . Have you seen a doctor recently, Ileia??

Sometimes you just got to put up with reasons and excuses from people due to certain circumstances on why they haven't gotten things done for you.

But when said person has been promising that they'll get it done days ago, and things are still not even close to being done today, I've hit the limit of my tolerance level.

At the beginning of the year I told my boss that I'd like to have one of my two days off work each week on the second of August. Because Electric Wizard are playing near me and I've really been looking forward to this all year.

He forgot. And apparently when I asked him again yesterday why he gave me the wednesday instead of the thursday he said I never told him. Though I know I did.

Fact is, he's on vacation for 3 weeks now just as another colleague leaving us with extreme staff shortage. And we aren't enough employees to begin with. We did get a new colleague a while ago. But he's not experienced enough yet in our company to work alone with the casuals. So either me or my female colleague always have to be there.
And apparently she wanted the thursday off from work too but only told him a little while ago. Now she's got the day off and I have to work. It's fucking annoying. I wish I had dem tits :/
Stupid horny bastard.

When I was living at home, I never decorated my room. At first, it was because I didn't care, but as I got older, I wanted to do it, but then I logically decided not to because I was in college and I thought I wouldn't be living there much longer anyway. Well, the whole financial situation fell apart, and you guys all know the story of the following eviction.

Now I sit here, staring at the blank walls of my room in the apartment. There's poster putty in the drawer next to me, and I have all of my posters safely kept in the closet. I was intending to put them up within the first month or so of moving in - and yet... I haven't. I thought it was just laziness. Oh, the weather is too hot and I'm tired. Oh, I worked a long shift today and I don't feel like it. Oh, I'm busy with something else today.

Maybe one or two days it was one of those things, but you know what I realized? I'm terrified I won't be here much longer. I'm constantly scared with each passing month that my mother is going to come up to me and say she couldn't afford the rent this month. She already has a slew of debt collectors cornering her and forcing her to make payments. The situation is always precarious, like dangling from a rope and someone on the ledge above you is holding a knife.

So my room sits bare. If I give it a personality, if I get too attached to it, if it becomes home, then I can't give it up easily. The way it is now, this just happens to be the place that I'm housed, instead of the place that I live.

Im probably the last person that should be giving advice on life but what the hell.

The future is a scary thing. unlike video games we cant go back and fix our mistakes. you shouldnt let fear of a minor Major setback stop us from doing something. You have to make the best of ANY situation! There are always going to be problems. there is always going to be a fear to do something. You just got to take the positives along with the negatives.

Today has been a really shitty day.

Yesterday, my grandmother finally peacefully passed away. While this did not come as a surprise, it still will be difficult to get past. I have next week off to be with the family.

Today, a day my boss was supposed to be off, a meeting was called, and she was in the meeting. Due to consolidations company wide, she is being let go. She is perhaps, no, definitely the best boss I have ever worked under and a good friend.

[Otohiko]

Sorry to hear about both of those things Chris. Hopefully your time off with family does you good. Hopefully this company crap doesn't get to you (again), though it might be a time to start considering other possible jobs, too...
