@puppybreath said in RL Anger:
At which point she called me Hitlerish because I would have fired someone because I didn't agree with his 'opinion'.
Remember when religious fundamentalists told kids to burn Nirvana CDs because of their music?
Pepperidge Farms remembers.
Did they stop?
They turned their wrath to
Marilyn Manson.Lil Nas X, Cardi B, Etc. new Artists, Same Shit.

They turned their wrath to Marilyn Manson.
Well, one out of eleventy-billion ain't bad.
The problem is they turned it on his music, and not him as a person.

Anger isn't the right term but I am currently sitting in my car in the parking lot because I don't want to walk home through the rainstorm. Unfortunately it will continue to rain for the next 3 or so days so it is not as if I can wait it out.

I've been angry/emotional just a ton, lately.
Angry at myself, most of all. I'm supposed to be working a second job, to make extra cash. I had to take time off, because I was just losing my shit. And yes, I'm angry at myself for not working 13 hours a day, feeling unable to, etc.
Angry at myself for not being able to give people the RP I think they expect/deserve.
Angry at every apartment complex I have applied to, that can't fucking send a text, email, or call me to tell me we didn't get the place.
Angry at all the stupid ads I'm getting about celebrating Father's day, and feeling like absolute shit, because I keep getting teared up and crying over all of it.
Angry at work, for penalizing my raise because I had to miss 4 (yes FOUR) days last fall because three people DIED in my family.
Angry at myself for being broken and not able to work out like I feel like I should be able to, in my head (Listen, my brain wants to think I'm still 25, can work three jobs, and somehow have a semi social life, okay? It will not accept the fact I have three (Well, now they think four) auto immune diseases that keep me in too much pain to act like a wild child anymore.) I've lost 30 pounds since December, possibly more at this point, and yet I'm still mad at myself.
Angry at my therapist for leaving the practice, and that it's taking forever for me to be able to get in to see ANYONE. Because clearly, I need to get back to seeing someone.

@solstice I appreciate the thought, but all that happened was I got taken off steroids, so I lost a shit ton of water weight, stopped eating/snacking as often, and kept walking the dog.
It does not feel like a big accomplishment. (I know, I know, 30 lbs is no joke. But brain weasels. the assholes.)

@macha I found your 30 pounds I think. Freshman 15 has nothing on the Pandemic Pounds.

I switched from a job where I was walking rounds regularly to an office job and I am the heaviest I have ever been in my life. I haven't weighed myself in ages, but I fear what the number will be.

Me: Please find attached a copy of the operating agreement for the LLC you want. You need to sign and return these to me before I can register your LLC with the Secretary of State.
(A week later)
Client: (e-mails signed copy)
(A day later)
Client: Did you register my LLC yet?

@ganymede You get the same thing with car leases/loans.
Customer: Hi, I'm just checking to see if my account is active yet!
Me: Do you have your account number?
Customer: Oh, no! I just got the car two days ago. Can't you look me up by my social security number?
Me: Ah... it will take upwards of 1-2 weeks to receive all the paperwork from the dealership and get the account populated.
Customer: But why? You're Volkswagen, shouldn't you have it already?
Me: ...I'm sorry but we are a finance company that is one of many offering financing through the dealership, which is a franchise. We are not the same company, and neither of us are Volkswagen directly. The dealership has you sign the paperwork, then submits it to us along with any down payment, and we use that information to populate your account. That said, they generally will not send the paperwork to us until their title clerk has finished processing your initial title and registration application with the DMV. This means it can take 3-5 business days for them to even send us the paperwork, and we request 7-10 business days upon receipt to populate the account. This usually occurs within 1-2 weeks of purchase.
Customer: But you're Volkswagen! Why does it take so long?!

I get similar stuff in my position and other jobs I have had. It's interactions like this that are slowly convincing me that the average person is a complete idiot and democracy is a terrible idea.

Been struggling to sleep for a few days now. My final dissertation fell through last year due to the pandemic making my economical situation a bit challenging and since then I've taken as much student debt as I am allowed in my state so that ran out too and since I've already "used" my opportunity for guidance on the disseration I had to write it all without oversight. I've written the thing now will submit it this sunday but my nerves keep playing up.
It felt like quite the failure to not get my exam and teaching lisence as was the plan (something I realise is a pretty common occurance from last year) and I've been beating myself up about it a lot. It's generally made me rather unable to judge the quality of my work so I second guess it a lot. Just a very stressful time with the rest of my year looking very different depending on how it pans out.

I'm sorry you're dealing with this! I suspect you aren't alone, but I know that does not help the feelings. I hope that things are "good enough" that you can get this out from hanging over your head and keep moving forward with your plans.

I can't decide between gripping fear and anger.
My sister's family has COVID, and brother in law (who I adore - this is not a distant relationship) is in the ER right now with very low oxygen levels. This is the fear.
The anger is because they deliberately chose not to be vaccinated because they were hesitant because of misinformation. (They attributed a friend's death to the vaccine but he had a history of blood clots before the vaccine and got Pfizer not J&J.)
I feel like this was preventable but I will never ever ever say this to them.
So venting on an anonymous internet forum.

@silverfox I hope they come through, and I hate that misinformation and anti-vax lies even made it a possibility.
