I had such a bad day at work that Mizumono!Hannibal has become relatable to me.

Everything is unfair! Everyone is hostile! They’re all being very mean to me specifically! A person I had trusted has disappointed me greatly!

Me, in my feelings.

(No one is being mean or hostile. I made a mistake, and I’m just catastrophizing, anticipating that I’ll get in trouble, and assuming - without evidence - that I’ll get told to follow a different process that’s unreasonably slow and just as error-prone but in a different way, that I’m pretty sure no one else actually follows, either. But that’s all 100% in my imagination at this point. And the person I’m disappointed in may have honestly been trying to be polite by not bringing the problem to me directly, because they may have just missed my two (2) emails, and assumed I was still on vacation. There is no justifiable reason for me to be as upset as I am.)

But the point is, I am CRANKY. And ANXIOUS. And UNREASONABLY SAD.

And if I were, like 200% 2000% more unhinged, I could see how I might want to stab a conveniently-available innocent teenager (who did nothing wrong, ever) about it.

Having a totally reasonable and proportionate one tonight!

…and then, I guess, run off to Europe with my toxic backup-bae, who I’m pretty sure doesn’t even like me… ?

I’m in my tragically-bad suit era.

Seems like a solid plan. (It does not. This too shall pass.)

(I’m just so tired.)

I'm feeling very "If you've ever been a customer fuck you" today

Ever have a conversation with your boss that makes you somehow feel in your teeth just how close to the edge of burnout you’re teetering?

“Why are there so many books?”

-Things I shouldn’t whisper under my breath in horror considering I work in a library, but here we are with 9 freaking book trucks of stuff to be weeded and I am losing my mind a little.

having the kind of day where I just want to retreat into someone's arms and sink into them and just let my brain get all fuzzy and slowly shut down

Just sayin'... (A Workplace Vent Sesh)

You know, it gets to me how employers expect their employees to put up with being treated like they're replaceable and still want to work their asses off for them.

I was just thinking about my last job that just fired me and frankly, I wanted to love that place and the people that led me. But as time went on and my job changed, I heard more and more from the supervisors about the attitude of the woman in charge of all of them, the very same one that got me my promotion and that used to be my supervisor before they hired a new one in the location I worked at...

... I started hearing about her "fire anyone that is even remotely out of line" attitude and it wasn't just one supervisor that said it. It wasn't even supervisors that would have been in touch with one another. It was 3 different supervisors, one of which had nothing at all to do with the other two...

... and just... the more I heard about her "oh, they inconvenienced you once? Fire them. Write them up. Put them on probation, just don't bother me with this" response and I'm like....... how heartless do you have to be to have that attitude, 1. And 2. how far up your own ass do you have to be to act like you're so important and everyone below you is replaceable?

Like... I've never understood how companies with that attitude expect their workers to put up with it? How they can act so surprised when they can't hold down an employee, either because they go on a firing spree or because everyone is sick to death of being treated like they're replaceable... how do you expect people to be told over and over "you mess up once, you're out of here" and not treat your company like it's replaceable after a while?

Oh, you want me to go out of my way for you so you can make more money? You want me to not make mistakes and piss off your customers? Then fucking treat me like a goddamn human being, not like a fucking robot whose entire existence is just to make you fucking money.

I hate the company I worked for. I hate the people in charge of that company. I loved the people in my level and below me, but other than that... fuck that company.

I think being fired from them is one of the best things to happen to me recently. I started to feel trapped because I was making decent money to work there, but the stress of hearing the kinds of things that were happening behind closed doors that they probably to this day don't realize I know...

Fuck them. Fuck them so damn hard. I hate corrupt business in America.

Fuck.

Me after spending an entire eight hour shift yesterday in freezers on ladders hand cleaning with water vents and fans and five hours today out of my eight hour shift with my fibromyalgia acting up and arthritis kicking in

You get a lazy drawing

Sorry gang but huge vent incoming

OK SO- I got an Uber yea?? Chilling abiut to go to work and my Uber driver keeps adding pickup times like it's going from 10 min to 7 min to 15 minutes!

And it keeps getting worse the time keeps getting larger I sware so I look st the map AND THEY ARE DRIVING AWAY FROM MY LOCATION!- stright up driving away. On the freeway ALL THE WAY AWAY.

So I screenshot it (id show yall but im not about to dox myself)

and send it to my boss going "yeah ok my Uber is not only late but jot picking me up at all so ima cut my loss and call out" they say it's ok but then THEN. An hour later they get my MOTHER who is in the middle of worki g (we work at the same place) to COME OVER TO THE HOUSE AND PICK ME UP.

But she's super late cus the street lights are out. So I'm like 3 hours late and if I were to go to work now I WOULD BARELY BREAK EVEN.

Beacuse the Uber was like 22 bucks plus cancelation fee (they fee you for canceling your ride)

So I worked 3 hours on a Sunday in the south only to earn 11 bucks.

Me in the work chat:

I am sorry to see you go. You’re quite good at your job.

Me in messenger:

[deuterosapiens]

Had an incident where I was called into work on my day off for an impromptu meeting, only to be told in effect that my only real signifying quality is that I'm never late. I just- why do I even bother, you know?

What's the point in me breaking my back, destroying my lungs, and shredding any semblance of a social life only to hear "you are always on time" as the one good thing I apparently contribute to this job?

All of my employees under me respect me, and acknowledge the hard work I do, but the people above me, whose opinions affect my pay, they apparently think there's no harm in taking away someone's valuable free time just to say "yepp, you're here! And that's all you're really good for!"

Depressed and pissed off are not good emotions to feel simultaneously, not when I have too much going on outside of that nonsense.

Sorry for venting. We'll be back to your regularly scheduled programming shortly.

Little Vent Post

Since starting T I’ve noticed that my adrenaline is more often (or at least more intensely felt than before) triggered with my anxiety and anxiety I can kinda push aside but the adrenaline is fucking relentless.

This would probably be fine for anyone else but I work in a factory for 10 hours a day sitting in a chair and nothing to think about other than whatever the hell is bothering me. And that’s before we factor in my untreated ADHD

But there were job cuts this week, never mind my personal problems, so I’ve spent all week like vibrating in my dinky chair. My supervisor like sat me down to make sure I felt safe enough to tell her if I need medical attention. I love that. That was good

Anyway that’s all. I’m just yelling into the void

[bardic-inspo]

Maybe I'm the bonkers one but I think it's real weird to assume you should be able to come and go freely from your spouse's place of employment 😶

[east-archive]

Generally I really like my coworkers but MAN. When those two feel like they are alone they talk so much shit about others, I really wonder of they have nothing else going on in their lifes??

At least they stopped trying to pull me in to their antics, gawd.

[sezja]

I simply think that if you stand in front of the employee access doors I should be allowed to run your dumb ass over with my pallet

Welll vacation is over. Work in the a.m. already dreading it. Shouldn't be as I'll be working in floral buuut the acting assistant and me talked on the phone and they said it's been rough and they can't wait for me to be back and that I can't take vacation agian ever (half joking) . The manager for floral (been covering as she's on medical leave and while I was gone someone else was covering) texted me about a hour ago apologizing for the shit show I'm gonna be walking into tomorrow 🥲 and basically saying they dont want me to go on my next one, jokes on them i go agian in the beginningof Septemberhaha . I really really don't wanna go in tomorrow though just because the mess and fair week is probably gonna send me into a panic attack.

Also the last 10 days I've only gone through 2 packs of cigarettes vs a pack every other day so ya my smoking comes from working
