As a side part of my job I'm supersiving getting testing of a new product ready. It involved hardware and software as well as the people actually using and depending on the testing.
the Hardware guy keeps just doing his own thing. I have all sorts of other things going on, so I can't always be closely supervising him. When I ask him questions he doesn't give me all the relevent details -- he might think he has, but he skips things that will impact other people so which are really important. Sometimes I can spot a possible omission, sometimes I can't. So then he does something, and as will happen not everything works out, so instead of leaving someone unable to do anything for ten minutes it turns into hours, and he doesn't tell me. So then managers of the people being stranded get involved, and I'm caught by surprise ... again. Clearly I'm not managing him effectively, but I'm at a loss of what I should be doing with him. And the fact that I'm not managing him effectively of course reflects badly on me in general. So I'm pissed off in general that he keeps causing problems by not communicating with me or other people on the team. And I'm pissed off in specific because being tied up with him is making me look bad in the company (and extra pissed off because a lot of that is legitimate -- I'm supposed to be managing this and am not making it work out well).

There is one woman at work who uses a lot of perfume, and one guy who uses a lot of cologne. Got stuck in an hour long meeting with both of them this afternoon. Came out and my nasal passages felt scalded, and soon I had a throbbing headache.
I'm pissed off because I'm being too damn Canadian to tell them to stop using so much of that crap! So I'm dedicating this video to myself today:

To Quote my FIL (who only had daughters but has a whole passel of nephews and grandsons and so has been sitting on comedy gold for an entire generation)
Q. You know why girls wear all that makeup and perfume? A. They're ugly and they smell bad.

The hot mess that is the mental health system, especially in TX. So frustrating when client are trying to get help and the options are so so limited. I love my job, but it really highlights the flaws in the system.

I hear you Lillie. I work in mental health as well and while my organization is great, I do run into barriers (especially the stigma that exists against people living with mental illness).

The fact that I have a job, and I make enough money to maybe get groceries weekly, plus gas to get to and from work - bare essentials basically, but am not getting enough hours to get the things that are slowly piling up that I need. I make $100/wk if I am lucky with about 13-15 hours, this weeks paycheck sucked with a measly $75 after taxes... next weeks should be a little better, because I have ~20 hours... But still, I just wish I knew what to do! Everyone says get a second job but that's not easy for everyone to do, especially when I'm trying to just figure out life in the first place... I want to go back to school, get degrees to get a better job and make more eventually, but that doesn't help me right now. So stressful lately. I need mostly parts for my car so I can get things fixed... valve cover gasket, new tires because mine are worn to hell, serpentine belt and some rear shocks... that's the imporant stuff! But also because I need one more part for a computer my brothers friend is giving to me, literally for free, which is a huge upgrade from what I've got, and the gamer in me is ecstatic! But the poor person in me is pissed because I don't have enough money to fix parts in my car or finally get this huge upgrade that I've been waiting years for.
If anyone is rich and wants to loan me money through PayPal, let me know, I will pay you back weekly in small amounts lol. Kidding but also slightly serious if anyone is in the market to help. I dunno. I'm mainly just ranting. This sucks. |

Be prepared that they might give you some negative/constructive feedback. Or that they're not prepared to talk with you, give you an answer straight away. Or offer you more work doing someone you might otherwise be loath to deal with (e.g., clean the break area, bathrooms, ect...) Then again, they might've already been willing to consider you for some promotion, if only you'd ask for it. Don't say anything about getting another job; although it would probably wise to already be looking more closely at what's out there (How long have you been there? If a year or more, then your experience could prove the basis for something even better, with more money & hours). Instead, pitch it along the lines of your being ready for more responsibility. Might-well be yours for the taking. |

More like what ISN'T pissing me off today. Having a very hard time with my ptsd and depression. Its been over a month since my wife told me she wanted a divorce just because she was tired of me....her exact words.
I cant work because I am disabled, but my ssd is in appeal right now. The thought runs through my head several times daily, how much better this Earth would be without me in it breathing oxygen that a better person could use. ![]() |

On that note, spend the past 3 days battling anxiety and PTSD. Gotta love it when your brain tries to convince you a) you'll fail at everything because you didnt clean the kitchen and b) every time you have sex you should be terrified.
![]() Weekend had lots of good points and Im heading to yoga today so I got that going for me ![]()

A few family-related things, as usual. With this as the perfectly timed cherry on top.

FFAs, I love all of you. You are all fantastic but you are pretty much all the most frustrating person I have ever met. All of you. I don't know how each one of the 6 FFA friends I am close with manage it. But each of you manages to be the most frustrating person on the planet, simultaneously. It is baffling. Except Mel, Mel is fucking awesome and doesn't drive me nuts.
I should note that the majority of FFAs who I am speaking to/about are not on this site.
