Finally got my stuff straightened out with my damn student loan lenders. I was literally driving my head through walls yesterday and had a god-awful work day. I didn't get everything finished, but my supervisor for the day told me not to worry about it, praising me on doing the best I could given the circumstances. Yeah, I was going to return the shopping baskets after my shift to the vestibule but she said not to, mostly upset about the guy before me leaving over an hour's worth of returns for me to do. She said "Let them see what it's like to have no parcel pickup guy".

 

In other news, I managed to see my therapist today and we'll attempt to get sessions going every week if possible. He's a nice guy, but I was a bit put off by his reaction to the question "How would you prefer me to address you?". He told me he didn't understand why I would ask that. I explained I did that out of respect, telling him I feel it's offensive to address a superior by his/her first name, unless permission to do so is given. Other than that, we just discussed what I want out of therapy, goals, etc. More than anything, I just want to be able to have better anger and stress management skills because as it is, I'm likely to end up ruining my life because of my lack of coping skills or die from heart failure from my blood pressure being so high from all the anger.

Feeling pretty good today, kicking back and drinking some NOS Energy drink and relaxing... Well not for long becuase soon the Energy drink will make me wired and I'll be on the go here in a while... (I get super hyper like an hour after drinking one )

Yesterday, working in the Hardware store, I repaired twenty two screens. Nine of them were screen doors. Those are rather large, by the way. One was a pet screen. Four pet screens in total. Those are a royal pain. They do not abide by the natural laws of screen physics.

Seven of those total screens were already done by this other fellow who opts to do the screens when bored. They were just done horribly. They had more waves in them than the ocean has waves. Customers complained about them.

I mean can you not see how bad it is after you've finished it? You can't just drop it in the "finished" pile if it looks nasty.

Sounds passive-aggressive.

It's true that if you don't do something you're supposed to, someone else has to take up the slack. That's not fair to them, given their already decent workload. Night cashiers who rarely venture from the registers do throw-backs before they close, and they just don't care where they put things. We're constantly finding things in the wrong spot, or tucked behind other items, or even stuffed into cabinet doors.

So I suggested to them to have their idle cashiers put away freight and clean random aisles, and have a before and after inspection. It's entirely possible for a cashier to have to clean up their own mess they made. It makes them think twice before just dumping something, because they'll be obligated to clean it up, or watch their own cashier friend have to clean up their own mess.

Don't worry I won't be clicking that suspicious "Link", You can't trust links that look like that.

@anikom: I think I may be like that. I do admit to having a bit of a short fuse, but I bite my tongue most of the time. I want to act on my anger but I know that I'm not allowed to, so I don't. Then again, my co-workers and the monitor that night knew I was coming to work in a bad mood; they could see it in how I walked and carried my body. I was walking in a more hastily manner and when I wasn't around customers, I had my teeth clenched and sometimes my fists balled up in my pockets. I mean finding out the idiots at my student loan provider screwed up and getting into a pissing match with mother didn't help, especially when the first time I raised my voice she threatened to kick me out. Work just dumped ten gallons of gas onto the fire.

 

Anyway, whining about work-related stuff aside, I noticed my black cat has really weird behaviors.

1. When she jumps up onto my bed, she makes this weird "mmmph" noise, almost like cooing. What's up with that? Also, I notice when I pet her, she doesn't seem to get over-stimulated like other cats that if you pet them too long begin trying to bite you.
2. If I'm in the bathroom, she'll drop onto her side and paw at the door until I let her in. For some reason, she gets much more affectionate when I'm in the bathroom alone with her.
3. Any time that I go into the basement, she will follow me everywhere and gets even MORE affectionate. It's usually down there that she will cry for my attention (normally she doesn't talk).
4. She will get up on her back legs if your hand is above her head to pet her.

The orange one doesn't really have any abnormal behaviors, although she has a tendency to swat my hand when I try to pet her. What's weird is she swats much harder than the black one but she seems to lick my hand after smacking me.

Depression hits you like a brick. The past month, it's kinda been Hell. A relative of mine was found murdered, I already went to the funeral. I almost ended up crying. One of my younger siblings was about to commit suicide too because people at my age love to pick on her for her autism. People just love to fuel the fire too with their trivial drama queen nonsense -- offline and on. Life sucks, but I grew to not care what or who tries to slap me in the face. [/rant]

Bought new sneakers today. The old ones were killing my feet and the fabric on top of the soles of them were getting under my toes and irritating them. Tonight I break them in enough to be able to survive an 8 hour work day tomorrow. My paycheck two weeks from now is going to look amazing from that.

If they're not Pumas, they're CRAP! (spoken like "If it's not Scottish, it's CRAP!" from that SNL sketch with Mike Meyers) XD

It was way to quiet today at my home, most of my family was sleeping at least until like 2PM today and I was the only one up... So I wandered around outside in silence and I was able to hear myself think... Man that drove me insane, thank god I have music to drown out my thoughts.

Wow, you must be quite the extrovert. That sounds like a wonderful time to me.

I'm a mixture of extrovert and introvert, though mostly introvert. Just on rare occasions (10% of the time), I'll want to talk and be around other people (like I was today). then the other 90% of the time I keep to myself and don't talk very much and don't want to be around anyone. I'm kinda quirky like that.

I can see what you mean.

 

I'm different though. I like people and going places and smelling the flowers. It's a custom in my culture to sniff each other's butts as greeting. We also enjoy chasing our tennis ball

So much anger right now. I'm getting sick of my student loan lenders. Tell me what to send them then say "hey, you forgot something you moron!" On another note, I'm tired of being nagged about my swearing by someone that happens to do a ton of it himself. When I'm angry, I swear. Don't like it? Well, too damn bad. I have to put up with idiots, you can put up with a few words a few people decided to convince the masses were "curse words".

 

I had to return my shoes because I didn't work an hour and they hurt like hell. I blame it on the fact I was in a rush and just bought the first pair that fit. The problem was that they were too long and still not wide enough. Even worse, because I had my father run them back on my behalf, now I'm stuck with $19.99 for Fail-Mart which has barely any stock and what they do have is expensive. With Wal-Mart around, I don't even know how the hell K-Mart is still around, considering Wal-Mart can easily undercut K-Mart without losing profitability and Target has higher quality than K-Mart and can get away with the higher prices. The good news is that my new shoes fit perfectly; not too big, not too narrow, and only $13.88.
