EMOTION Round 3

Lavender said:
I GOT THE JOB GUYS I DIDN'T DIE YAYYYY IM SO HAPPY

I know this will be the third time I've said it now, but once yet again, CONGRATULATIONS LAVY! ^^ I know you'll do great!
 
Contentment. After quite the time, I have come to the end of the front sprite making effort. Only single one remains, yet this is the single one that holds perhaps the strongest emotional connection to me.

It was often the companion of the main character in the various daydreams I used to have as a reclusive broken kid, so finally being able to get it out of my mind in some form is a fitting end result of introspection.
 
Nervous, I haven't gone into too much detail about it here on PC; but I've been having a LOT of issues at my job over the past few months. I first started working there in December and it was perfectly fine for the first few months. But around March the old general manager was replaced by a new one that's made everything way worse, it was always a "faith-based business" (I live in rural Alabama so people being super religious is essentially par for the course), but she turned it up to 11 in a way that made me very uncomfortable. She also made some pointed comments about how she thought I "needed to have my soul saved". She asked if I wanted to go to church with her, and I agreed as I figured that she'd be satisfied if I went and would leave me alone; however it completely backfired and if anything caused her to keep trying to get into my business even more then previously.

I eventually talked to the other (lower-ranked) manager about how she was violating my boundaries and essentially needed to back off/realize that I'm her employee and not her son which was pretty much my last ditch effort to salvage things; long story short it didn't work out and I ended up getting a write up & put on probation on a flimsy pretext (I said I couldn't carry a fully filled 5 gallon water cooler, which is ~40lbs/18kg, up a 45 degree incline in 90F weather without help) pending "improvement". It's honestly a shame since I actually really liked working there until she came onto the scene, at this point they're very obviously trying to push me out and I'm probably going to just quit before I work next because it'll look better then getting fired. I'm still very nervous about actually pulling the trigger and sending that email though. I have to pay for car insurance because I have a driver's license even if I don't drive (at least with my insurance company, which is really stupid) and I don't want all of my savings to be drained out paying for it. I also don't have another job lined up and this whole experience has given me a lot of self doubt over whether I can actually sustainably hold a job at all, I worked at a fast food place from March to November 2023 and ended up quitting there because it was too stressful, and I'm worried that I'm just too lazy and that I should've just dealt with it and stayed there.

I'm also nervous and frustrated about the state of the world, Biden's debate performance a few days ago was horrific and it's looking more and more likely by the minute that Trump is going to win the US presidential election and implement Project 2025 with assurance that he has Supreme Court-guaranteed immunity. It's very frustrating to me that other democracies like Mexico, the UK and France are managing to stave off their far right blocs while a solid half of Americans seem totally OK with minority rights being stripped as long as le gas prices go down 10c. That's not even mentioning all the global conflict going on right now. I hope things get better in the future, but I honestly have near 0 optimism considering the current trajectory of things.
 
I asked my doctor for an increase of dosage in anxiety medication. Starting tomorrow.

I'm both eager and nervous. I want to see what changes this will bring and if it will help. (It's just 5mg to 10mg).

Yet I also don't want to deal with any nasty side effects. I'll just have to power through and remember if I get sick or nauseated, that it's only temporary.

Your boss sounds like a disgusting person. It's great for her that she has her beliefs and such, but trying to shove them off onto people, especially the people that are working under her, is positively revolting behavior. I'm sorry to hear you have to deal with that so often CK. And from what you've said, you aren't lazy at all. Just that you've had some terrible luck with finding employment that fits you well that isn't being managed by '''holes. Don't let that witch break your spirit. (and wow, your insurance company SUCKS)

That makes me a little angry, as a christian myself, I think thats in no way how God wants us to share our religion, He wants us to love each other, even enemies, share his word for only you to hear, not force people into him. That Manager needs to read the Bible more apparently. Well buddypal, I hope everything goes well and you can find a job thats better for ya! I'll be on your side prayin for ya friendo!

I really appreciate the support from you guys, it really means a lot to me! I also talked about it with some people I know IRL and ended up quitting that horrible job on July 12th, I sent a quick boilerplate email and it was over. I'm currently still looking for another job, but it feels very freeing to not have to dread interacting with her and spending 7+ hours a day in the scorching heat every weekend. I'm also glad that it gives me an open schedule for the GT!
 
I accidentally deleted all the code for my sig and saved it for some reason, I'm kinda sad but I guess I can just have fun remaking it
Spoiler: me when delete my big signature
 
Happy that tomorrow is FRIDAY. And I got paid today too. ^_^

Sounds like you needed an escape plan and gtfo! (sorry for the late response, I just stumbled upon this thread and found you already quit!!! I'M SO PROUD OF YOU.) Hope you do find a better job. It's a tough market out there. Fire those resumes and ace those interviews, another opportunity will land soon! GOOD LUCK.

Sending you all the love you deserve <3

Tired. Family is visiting and I always get drained emotionally since I'm introverted, but doing my best.
