Vent Your Frustrations • Page 34

I hate when they get mad at you for not knowing a route from their house

 

You're not sure of what?

I would try different browsers, and if that doesn't work, a different device (another computer, phone, tablet).

 

They got frustrated when I said I just moved here haha

 

Not sure if I'm using a vpn. I'll have to see if the browser thing works. When it locked me out from my computer, I tried to log on from phone and I'm still locked out being forced to provide a phone number.

 

The thing that annoys me is when directions from my phone aren't accurate. I've been led to so many random places and dead end streets. Also houses that don't have clearly displayed house numbers can die.

 

That's happened to me several times! One time I took a wrong turn going home from a mutual friends and got lost so I turned on maps and gps from "current location" and it kept telling me to turn on different streets when I couldn't turn and the streets were no where in sight. I would have thought it would lead me to the free way and tell me to take either north or south but nope.

 

My sister was at the library the other day, when some random, clean cut dude came out of nowhere and started hitting on her. Eventually the conversation got to a point where my sister asked dude why he was in town, and dude responded by saying something like "I'm here to make sure education and healthcare services are drastically reduced in this community".

This enraged my sister. She started recording guy with her phone, and asked him to repeat what he just said, at which point chump shiteater clammed up, and said he was calling the cops on the grounds of harassment.

Cops show up, throw my sister around like a rag doll, and cuff her in the most uncomfortable way possible (as cops are known to do). She explains to them that she just had wrist surgery, and that the way she's cuffed is going to cause serious damage. They ignore her until her until her almost completely healed surgery scar starts bleeding.

Once they realize they might have really fucked up, they take her to the hospital, and leave her there, but not before they charge her with trespass, resisting arrest, and another bullshit charge I can't recall.

She says she recorded the whole thing, and justice should eventually be served.....but lemme just say it one more time. FUCK THE POLICE.

 

OMG. Hugs to her. That is scary and awful af. She's super brave and also super smart for recording it.

 

My nephew has also been suffering from mild seizures over the last few months. Docs can't say why, and that it's a incredibly rare and untreatable condition....or it will go away on it's own.

 

Yeah, she's gone through a lot lately, and didn't need anymore bullshit on her plate. I just hope that whatever she managed to record while being assaulted by the pigs is going to be clear and convincing to others.

 

Another work rant. I come onto my shift and things that should have been done weren't done. There were plenty of people working day shift. Then later on I noticed something else wasn't done properly so I photo copied it all and left a note. I'm not trying to get anyone in trouble about this thing but making sure it's done properly so if the state has to come in for any reason we don't get fined. It's also a liability issue. It's also carelessness when it's not done right. I'm also tired of excuses. Plenty of people working and something simple isn't done and I hear an excuse.

 

I'm about to cry. My TA is always calling out. I get it is not always in her control but it's always something. So I have to get to work early and try to get as much as I can get done in a narrow time frame. And the doors only let me in an hour earlier so I can't get it all done. When I got her text I srsly just wanted to cry and quit. She's been gone more just this one month than I've been gone the past 2 years. And it's always Monday which is the hardest day. Like if it's this many mondays be proactive over the weekend. I've been super patient but we're short staffed and just cannot. I'm breaking and getting to the point where it is like if ur gone this much maybe you should do something else with ur life. I'm being a jerk but I'm so done with getting woken up at 5am with this bs

 

Incoming BRAT ALERT:

Everytime my sister breaks an electronic device my parents jump at the chance to buy her a new phone or whatever. Like throw me a frickin' bone here. I help her pay her bills and pay mine and I always feel like I'm drowning when it comes to money. I searched for a long time last night for an old iphone and charger that are boxed up in the shit I haven't unpacked, mailed it to her and she calls and says they bought her the newest iPhone. I can't remember if that's a 7 or whatever. Would be nice to be taken care of for once. There's some preventative belt thing I need to get changed on my car which is normally close to $1,000 but my dad's friend will do it for $500 so I guess that counts.

 

I'm suppose to take this class for work for another position. I have to talk to my boss about it because I'm on the schedule to work so they'd have to fix it. I better get to be able to take the class like I was told. To hire new people for the position and not ask your employees who've already been working for a while if they want it is messed up. I also won't stand for not being promoted while they hired other people while not even giving me a raise.

 

I hate it when people deem other people should be humbled or just blame a lack of humbleness as a problem or just want to see people humbled.

 

People who post stuff in any of the many music rec threads without adding genre tags or RIYLs, you are the absolute worst humanity has to offer.

 

Talked to my boss about the class I'm suppose to take. Apparently I have to wait until next month because she doesn't the new people "alone" yet it wasn't a care in the world when I was new and "alone". I've waited like 6 months for this class. That's how long I've been "alone". I wasn't able to take it because I was the only one from my company on the floor for my shift

 

Whenever I am given a new client at work, I receive zero training. Every client wants things done in very specific ways. They just give me a list and tell me to go by that. Okay, fine. So I do. Then one of the TLs leaves feedback for me that I should actually do it this way, even though the notes specifically say to do it the way I originally did. So I send an email to support like I'm supposed to do and ask for verification so I know going forward. A different TL replies telling me I did it correctly and to keep doing it that way. So I do.....then a couple weeks later another TL tells me I did it wrong....and I just keep repeating this cycle over and over. None of these people communicate with each other. None of them are on the same page and I can't ask the client directly, I have to go through support so I'm just constantly stressed because I never know if I'm going to get bad feedback or not. When I get bad feedback, my "score" goes down and I have to maintain a score of 98.5%. So stressful seeing my score fluctuate because I can't get a straight answer!!

 

I wish my work would tell me when I'm going to train someone. They ALWAYS throw somebody at me. It's really hard for me to do things with my regular routine with I have to stop in the middle of what I'm doing to train. AND I wasn't even provided a check list this time.

 

I'm not frustrated just need to vent. So about a year ago I linked up with one of my high school friends and we became pretty close. He was dating this girl at the time and they were basically both homeless but they're good people and hard workers, just had some very shitty parental situations, so I told them I'd ask my parents if they could rent out a room in our house, and my parents let them (they'd met them many times obviously and liked them a lot). So I basically have been living with them and they occasionally they fight and I try and stay out of it, it's always just bickering over little stuff. Today though, I heard my friend H screaming at the top of his lungs, and then yelling for me to come to his room, and I knew him and his (now wife) had been fighting. I come to his room and he's curled up on the floor in absolute hysterics with 911 on the phone and razor blades on his night stand and of course my heart fucking sank but thankfully there was no blood and he didn't hurt himself. Double thankful that my parents weren't home, but my mom came home before the cops showed up so I asked her to take me to go get food so that she wouldn't be here when they did, which TRIPLE thankfully that worked and they came and left before we got back. I got home and his wife and his mom left together to go look for him cuz he took off without his phone, and he just now got back and he's ok. I'm worried about him though. I've never had to go look at my meds to make sure someone didn't down them to kill themselves before. It wasn't fun.

 

Tonight I went out with some coworker friends. I don't drink, so two of them were accusing me of being boring and judgmental. I feel like they actively excluded me by trying to think up a Designated Dave type name for me and talked about me like I wasn't there. I know they were playing and were drunk, but we're going to a concert together this summer and I feel like I'll be accused of being uptight/judgmental while they have their drunk fun and they whine that I'm being too responsible. One of them srsly has a relationship that could get her in big trouble and she almost drunkenly told everyone but I'm the uptight downer for trying to protect her and stopping her. Again, I know they're drunk and logic flies out the window so it's not that I take it super personally, but I'm not looking forward to being third wheeled the night of our concert cause I won't let them walk in front of a MAX train or something.

 

1. Nvm the bs peer pressure. Keep doing you.
2. Screw them for treating you like less than because you don't share their degenerative vices.
3. Going to that concert with them is probably gonna be more trouble than it's worth.

 

they gave me a hard time at the bar but then thanked me profusely when I drove their car 20 minutes to their middle of nowhere town to take them home. I'm a sarcastic cynical downer all the time and ppl find it amusing and ~quirky when they're sober but when they're drunk I guess it's the worst cause I've had this happen with lots of diff ppl.

 

As one of my best (departed) friends used to say, fuck em and feed em fish.

 

I went to Charlotte to help with a project for work and when I called my co-worker (and good friend) to get directions to the office he said he was in the hospital after having chest pains and collapsing in the office. I drove immediately to the hospital and saw him before they took him back for an angioplasty to see how bad it was. The doctor came out and said that they couldn't tell me anything bc I wasn't a family member but he was very ill. I was able to get into his cell phone and call his sister to let her know. Breaking the news to her was very rough.

He has since been to two more hospitals. He was taken to a downtown Charlotte hospital for open heart surgery and then flown via helicopter to Duke University Hospital for a portable bypass machine that he needs there. All while this was going on I had to work on a stupid office setup for work that I couldn't focus on at all with what was going on. I just hope that my co-worker & friend can get out of this OK. He's only 43, so definitely too young to be dealing with this kind of thing. Life is precious. Let anyone you care about know it and don't let things that don't ultimately matter stress you out.
