Tiny Things That Annoy You • Page 128

I don't wanna work anymore. I was ready to retire like yesterday

 

fake laughter

 

Maybe I’ve said this before or wanted to say it...

when people call celebs with obvious overdone plastic surgery “beautiful”. Nothing beautiful about looking faker than Barbie. They looked better before surgery. Sad how society pushes unrealistic “beauty standards”. I feel like it re-enforces these standards.

 

When someone has a long story on Instagram but you don’t click through it all so it keeps showing up at the top

Not sure how to phrase this the best way.
But when people say that they’ll do anything for their family. That’s not the part that’s bothersome, but how people are expected to, or think other people should. Is it terrible that I won’t. That blood relation doesn’t mean “family”. That certain members in my so-called “family” are the reason behind my mental health issues. They’re the reason for my self-harm many years ago. They’re the reason why I wanted to do myself in those years ago as well. How some cause me anxiety every time they’re in my presence.

This is one main reason why I’m terrified to have another serious relationship. I’ll eventually have to open up about my traumatic childhood and early adulthood, and simply saying I don’t care or won’t do anything for these certain people, I don’t want to be viewed as a terrible person.

Edit: I’m even taking a risk posting this and opening up about this. I know the way people think and react in here

 

two day hangovers

 

It's alarming to me that i already feel this way and it feels like there's no way around it, hah. I'm thankful to have a job, don't get me wrong. I'm 30 and have worked in an office setting since I was 15. Even when i'm off I feel like there's a clock ticking in my head counting down the hours 'til I have to go back to my office...makes it feel like my time off isn't even "free".

 

agreed.

had the last four days off and it was great, but each day there points where my brain was like, “only 1.5 days off left” and then yesterday was like, “why are we going to bed? Oh we have to work tomorrow??? Wanna jump off a building instead?” Even though my job is super nice, I work from home and I’ve gotten like 5 emails today lmao

 

See this fixes the problem, for me. Haha, I got to experience that for a year and then it was taken away from me even though we showed INCREASED productivity. Now that I'm back in office, it feels WAY more like a jail sentence.

 

Christmas music

 

get on those lo-fi chrimma beats playa n rejoice

 

we go back on 1/4 and I am so depressed. My job (Marketing) essentially got merged with the admin assistant when she left in March of 2020 right before covid hit but I know how frustrating it’s gonna be. Just because I sit at the front desk doesn’t mean I know what’s wrong with the office printer or who took the last of the ice or whatever the fuck these people will go back to complaining about.

we have a division-wide quarterly meeting at the end of January AND a team building activity that afternoon and everyone is flying in for it that is permanently remote and I’ve already booked vacation that day and the next so I have to attend neither lol. If we’d be remote I would at least run the Quarterly as I usually do, but in person with all those people twice in the same day? Not gonna happen after two years away lol.

 

haha i feel for you.

We had an admin assistant leave last august and i absorbed ALL of her duties until last month. when I was promoted. Now I'm not an assistant and certainly not two assistants, but i'm the only one who knows the assistant roles and softwares. The boss hiring the new asssitnats doesn't even know their roles or what's required, so I have to train everyone and help hire new people AND do my new job which...isn't possible

 

Oooof that’s rough.

I get asked all the time “how much time do you spend on admin stuff?” And it totally depends. Some days maybe 5 minutes, but the next day could be 3-4 hours but just in 10-15 chunks.

people don’t know how to fucking work an Outlook Calendar that hasn’t changed in 20 years and god help anyone who is still trying to decipher how Teams works lol so it’s always a guessing game each day how much I can focus on my actual position.

And of course now all Marketing Coordinators have admin shit merged with their job. Funny how that works. I give it two years max before they hire admins back because those are very much two separate full time jobs!

 

Hahah it's so brutal. I work for the state, so i always emphasize the need for cross-training if they don't want assistants. But instead, they made assistants do stuff like ALL purchasing and ALL travel the last 10 years. Now they got rid of them (at least the benefits and full time opportunities so no one even applies now). No one who is older than 30 can do ANY of that stuff because of their reluctance to learn early on.

Now people like you and I get to have like 2-3 jobs but we get paid for 1

 

thinking way too much into the entropy of all things

gets awfully depressing

 

Stale chips

 

When you need to pour liquid from one container to another and if you pour too fast it splashes everywhere, but if you pour too slow it all just trickles down the side of the container you’re pouring from. So you have to basically just wing it every time like a dork that’s never been there before

 

How other people apartments are designed slightly different. As in, microwave above the stove instead of the counter, extra light fixtures... these are a few things I saw

 

I'm apartment searching and omg when they don't list the rent prices on the website and make you contact them. Like even a ballpark amount would be nice so I don't waste my time.

 

This. Even if you email them they say they can’t tell you and you have to come in

 

Soap brows. I think that’s what they’re called. As someone with natural brows that I’ve hated my entire life and still hate, it irritates me how people like the “ungroomed” brow look. Also the over done thick brow look. People like me with brows were bulled in school for having dark thick brows and got to “pluck” them. At one point in my life I waxed them off to nothing. Now it’s a trend. The same bullies are the ones doing this crap to their brows now.

 

When you throw away the misc. extra or replacement pieces of something because you’ll either never use them or find them in a year and have no idea what they’re for anyway and then of course, end up needing them
