Flaring

I spend half my week in meetings about meetings while my actual work piles up. Nobody decides anything. We just reschedule.

*tf depop just delisted my entire shop for "suspicious activity" with zero explanation. been selling vintage for two years, never had issues. cant even appeal it. lost my whole inventory catalog.

so i got a jury duty summons and showed up on time like an idiot and now i'm in this holding room with forty other people and we've been sitting here for three hours just waiting to see if we get called and nobody tells you anything except "we'll let you know" which apparently means we all just stare at our phones in silence.

My pharmacy's been out of my maintenance med for three weeks. Insurance won't approve the alternative. Just... stuck.

so i got a jury summons and showed up on time like an *diot and now i'm in this holding room with 40 other people and we've been sitting here for three hours and nobody tells you anything. like they just say "wait in room 7" and then you wait. and wait. i've read every poster about courthouse safety. i've counted the tiles.

explaining "light ice" for the 47th time today and watching them fill it halfway with ice anyway. im fine. everything is fine.

Drove an hour out for clear skies tonight. Clouds rolled in at 8:47pm. Every. Single. Time.

waited 45 minutes at chipotle for a burrito bowl. they had three people working. three. on a saturday.

*uck, tourists stopped dead in the middle of the street with their backpacks. The metro doesn't wait for anyone, I'm late for work. What a pain in the *ss.

I've been taking the 6:47 AM Red Line into the city for three years now, and I genuinely don't know if the Chicago Transit Authority has given up or if I'm just supposed to accept that we're all standing shoulder to shoulder in a car that smells like... well, let's not go there.

ive got a shoebox full of receipts from three months of eighty hour weeks and amtrak lost my luggage. still waiting on their claim form. its been six weeks.

I just told twelve people their Metro train was delayed because of signal issues. It wasn't. I don't know why it's delayed. Now they're all mad at me.

dropped my phone two weeks ago and the screen's all spiderwebbed but honestly *uck it, its still works so im just living with it. too broke to fix it rn.

just spent 20 mins circling a roundabout near the mall. my gps kept saying "take the next exit" but there were like 8 exits?? im never driving there again lol

So I've been eating the same rotisserie chicken from the same Costco for like eight years because it's thirty-five cents cheaper than anywhere else and I'm covering school board meetings on a salary that hasn't moved since Obama's first term, and last week they raised the price from $4.99 to $5.99.

my scanner broke mid shift and i still had to hit 18k steps. they just gave me a new one no apology nothing. walked like a ghost for four hours.

my upstairs neighbor has what sounds like a full respiratory illness happening at 3am. not coughing. not sneezing. some kind of sustained wheezing/choking hybrid that makes me think theyre either dying or own a defective sleep apnea machine. thin walls are no joke.

just landed back and my boss expects me to answer slack msgs like i havent been awake for 36 hours straight. its 3am here and shes sending me spreadsheets. what the *ell

my feet are shot to *ell. 10k steps minimum every shift and my scanner wont stop beeping at me about productivity. wheres the time to not be in pain

southwest airlines overbooked my flight again and now im stuck on standby. three times this year. statistically thats suspicious behavior.

theres a pan in our sink thats been there so long i think its developed its own ecosystem. its not even mine. im broke as *ell and cant move out. help.

I've been calling my health insurance company for three weeks trying to get a routine appointment and nothing. Line's busy, they transfer you to another number, that number doesn't exist. What a mess.

tried to get cat litter at target and theyre out til next week. four kittens. no clean surfaces. im losing it.

just put on my first pair of progressives and the entire grocery store is now a fun house. floor keeps sliding away when i look down. why does anyone voluntarily live like this

just spent 45 mins on hold with my bank's support line. the wait time counter kept resetting. i could feel my soul leaving my body.

the vending machine at the dental office has been out of order for three weeks. im just sitting here watching the same commercial for antacids play on repeat while my kid waits for his appointment. there's literally nothing else to do.

my dentist charges $80 just to look at my tooth. doesnt even fix it. just looks. then tells me i need a root canal for another grand. im going back to ignoring it

I'm three months into what was supposed to be a weekend kitchen backsplash situation and I've somehow ended up replacing the entire wall because Home Depot was out of the tile I picked for two weeks, so I ordered from a different supplier, and those tiles arrived with a crack in half the boxes.

just got told the headset is broken again and now im taking orders by shouting through the drive thru window. we're down two people. im broke as hell and this job keeps finding new ways to suck

my landlord just told me the security deposit doesnt cover "normal wear and tear" but also doesnt cover *hit i didnt even do. how is that legal

got stuck in the crawlspace again today laying cable for 8 hours. my back's *ucked and i make $16/hr. why is being junior so *amn expensive
