You're just making this thread because of bootleg ROM boards being installed.Super Struggle II Rainbow Edition would fit this board so much better though
I've had this pain in my abdomen, I thought I had a hernia for the longest time.
Had scans, docs check that shit for a year.
Nothing.
I'm convinced I have a bomb in me or something, I feel it just there all the time.
Like a dull ache.

Nah had two ultrasounds, one on my upper body cavity and one on the lower abdomen/pelvic area so far.
I might be changing jobs soon, once I do I'll probably go back in for a bout of tests.
On another note, I get almost daily recruiter messages on LinkedIn. I graduate with my MBA in two months. I think I can hold off until then because all signs are pointing for me to get the fuck out.
No, no-one gets jobs from LI, it’s just a way to keep in touch with your exiting network, and for recruiters to extend their reach.On another note, I get almost daily recruiter messages on LinkedIn.

Maybe it's because I'm still an undergrad, but I've never heard actual success stories from there.
My parents had to put down my sweet lab Maggie today. She was nearly 14 and had severe hip dysplasia, but was the most energetic, fun dog I've been around. She cuddled with us on the couch every night. She was just the best, and I am grieving that I couldn't be there to hold her paw as she passed away.Sorry, BN, that is some top-tier struggle there. Saying goodbye to a pet is harder than losing some relatives, and even harder when you’ve got to let them go to prevent undue suffering. I’m sad for you.
What a sweet sweet girl.

Is it mental anxiety like racing thoughts or do you get more of the physical symptoms like sweating, heart racing, palpitations, etc.?

Decided that I should cut ties with a friend of about 10 years. Tough to do since he's the only person I know locally but he's just a miserable person and said that my having a deformed ear was what made him want to be my friend initially since it made him feel like I would not be too good for him as far as social standing (he's an incredibly shallow person with no other friends that I know of). I feel like still hanging out with him would just be bad for me.Gee,

Can't possibly imagine why someone like that wouldn't have a lot of friends.
I'm thinking that maybe I should start an Official Bore Ennui Thread: for when your struggles are more than just a mere inconvenience, and your inconveniences are real struggles, but not like someone just died or whatever.
They're all just bastard children of the random talk thread anyway
Happy Birthday.Been in a mostly shitty mood lately, but the order of the posts leading up to this made me laugh.

Around 7pm when I was driving out to campus for the second time, I felt so exhausted I was going to collapse. I made it through the meeting, came home and was ready for a nice early night.

I was mostly cruising in my Corporate Financial Reporting class, until today when we came to the tax section.
Taxes and the way they're explained (or not) in financial statements are a fucking mess. I have no idea why anyone would want to make a career out of this shit.

Been a few months since I moved out. Eat well, sleep well, lost weight, etc.
Sounds good. But I was expecting more though. I was hoping to get my shit together, but despite the aforementioned positives that's not going too well.
I dunno what you call it, but the mental health help institutions and stuff in this country have gone to shit thanks to the budget cuts. And before it wasn't that great either.
What really blows my mind is that in the vast majority of other countries in the world, it's far worse. If I wasn't born in western world I would have probably offed myself a long time ago. Scary thought, mayne.
All things considered it's not too bad, and it may seem like I don't have much to complain about. It's just that my life is at a standstill. And at times, standing still is moving backwards. :fbm From a purely rational standpoint, I have to assume things are getting better. But I've been telling that myself for the past decade, the same amount of time I've been getting 'help' from mental health institutions. :shaq2 And in that decade, most of that progress has come from me naturally getting older/wiser.
got turned down by the job i've been vying for the last few weeks. back to square one.
Working on some books where the bookkeeper didn't know capital letters existed in English. The struggle has never been anymore real.

You know what really sucks. In the good old days when I felt like fucking shit, I'd play some game as means of escapism. But now I feel like shit, what is there? MMOs have turned to shit. Multiplayer games have turned to shit. There's really nothing for me but to feel like shit while doing nothing i.e. stare out the window wondering what the point of life is.

As for SF, doesn't really count unless it's multiplayer. And multiplayer might be frustrating.
Worked a charity event, which is a host of Ls that need not be recounted here, but a member of my team was a noob and seeing their reaction to sums of money that aren't insubstantial but seem like nothing to me this deep in the game really hammered home how fucking out there I am.
I hate what I am and every morning when I wake up I wish that I hadn't.
Woke up to a roach crawling on me. Now sleeping on a couch in the TV room

Couches have more crannies and crevices for cockroaches, and more paths from the floor for access.
Just sayin'.

Came back from japan trip on wednesday. Flight was delayed, I missed my connection and lost my luggage.Hyoushi, I'm sure you're sad right now, but you're a cool dude and will get past this. If you need a bright side, at least she figured this out before marriage and kids.
And then I came home and my girlfriend of 13 years has decided that she's breaking up with me.
:fbm
It looks like they even stopped looking for my friend's friend's body.Wait, what?
:brazilcry
One of my friend's friends has gone missing.
She's a young latina in her 20s and there's no trace of her. No credit card activities, no cell records, no sightings, nothing.
She's been gone over a month, but everyday I keep seeing my friend's facebook page with more posts about vigils and searches and all that.
For the first couple of days I was hoping they'd find her. But now it sorta feels like they're just looking for a body. :-\

OTOH, and sorry in advance for the Real Talk, most relationships even approaching the 10 year mark require the M-word commitment. It may have been either one of you which wasn't ready for that, but it sounds like she decided move on. If this makes you re-evaluate the relationship and realize you'd like to be with her FOREVER, cool. If not, a wash of relief is what you should be feeling, in addition to any dizziness.
What kind of work is she trying to get into? I assume counseling but the spiritual angle is a bit unknown for me. Could show her pamphlets for places to volunteer with clients/qualifications that fit her needs.
It's a long story. It's in storage, and the mechanic who "fixed" it has decided it should be his. This isn't something that I'm going to fight over. I've spoken with him, he knew my grandmother very well but the dude is a dick. There are other reasons I'm not pressing the situation, which I won't go into.
Personally I'm not concerned about the guy trying to sell the house simply because starting the selling process is just going to make the city seize it faster than they normally would. That guy isn't going to win, he has no paperwork, etc.
I really, really miss women.

This is confusing. You don't want to press charges against a guy who essentially stole the car your grandmother left you?
Did your cousin's ex get charged for arson?
But I'm talking about Baghdad Detroit.
Like that shit is awful as a pet owner, but all the same I'm like how the fuck did they think this was an okay thing to give my parents?
Then it turned out my mom is okay with it and likes the dog. Which means, like their last dog, it's my fucking responsibility to make sure that shit doesn't die of some shitty dog disease. So now I gotta drive to their pad, pick this fucking dog up and take it to the vet this week.

I won't go into all the details about the mechanic but the dude is old and isn't really a mechanic; I doubt the car works, even after all these years. The bigger problem is that to get this resolved I'd have to get the police involved, and he isn't the type of guy I'd do that with. If you know what I mean.

No, not really. I'd get the cops involved or at least tell the guy I'm gonna call the cops or he can pay me something for it.

I'm in a flabby stage of life so sex is somewhat strenuous. After a mutual climax, I lay naked refusing to move waiting for all the sweat to evaporate(http://i.imgur.com/tsb8f0V.png)no lie I'd probably feel some type of way if my daughter was getting dicked down in my house too.
Eventually I drift into a tranquil nap as my GF gets ready. I'm awakened by her pleas to get dressed, but I'm in a daze when I hear footsteps coming up the stairs.
I shut the bedroom door and fumble with my pants.
"Open the door," her stepdad exclaims.
"I'm getting dressed!" she replies.
After threatening to open it a few more times he fucks off into his own room and slams the door. We go to leave but realize his pickup is blocking my car in the driveway.
He comes downstairs so I say "what's up" to no reply. He slams another door on the way out, moves his truck, gets on his harley and takes off.
Get a text later saying he wants to make it very clear that I'm not allowed in the house when he's not there.

Just shattered my phone screen for the first time ever. All the drops that my phone took on concrete/asphalt like a pro and a fall from my bed to my wood flooring shatters the screen. :stahp
Now I'm gonna have to buy a new phone on contract and be stuck with Verizon for another 2 years. I don't even care for any of the phones available right now, so I might as well take the L and get the Galaxy S6. At least I'd finally have a smartphone with a good camera. Only other options I'd consider are the 2nd gen Moto X and the LG G4.

She's waaay to into cosplay and anime/cartoons that I can't stomach it. And if it weren't for that, I feel like my personality and her's are too different. She's much more outgoing and I'm very reserved.
And what this whole thing reminded me of is that I really should be branching out and meeting more people on my own instead of just waiting for a friend to invite me to a party.

My therapist is a total babe: mature, smart, and sexy. I know this is wrong, but it feels so right. Could talk to her for hours and I have her laughing every session.
This woman, brehs :whew
Too bad she's married, but what if it's an unhappy marriage? :ohhh

Being attracted to a therapist seems fkin wrong, bruh. Although it does seem a bit odd you get her to laugh.
Probably one of those uncomfortable laughters, tho. You're too enamored with her looks to notice. :hitler
Edit: oh shit, I just remember I had a young therapist long ago. I think I was attracted to her. At least, I thought she was attractive/beautiful. She was absolutely stunning. Beautiful, virtually flawless round face. Very nice curly hair, in a brown or dark red kind of color. Slim. And possibly busty but I can't quite remember those details.
No laughing, though.

Long story short there's this huge hairy dude who's also a regular at this bar I go, and he's taking a liking to me. At first I thought he was just being friendly but it's escalated. I'll be having a drink with my back turned to him and suddenly I'll get lifted up in the air and he'll start kissing all over my face (his greasy beard :brazilcry) and groping me and telling me how cute I am. Like this dude physically over powers me while making lewd comments and I just have to take it without fighting because I weight 150 lbs and he won't stop. The sad thing is that this is not the first time a dude like that has gotten a little too affectionate with me. Something about the big biker types. :brazilcry

Did you move while leasing a vehicle? I recently had something similar happen (but I wasn't ticketed because #whiteexcellence) because even though I changed my address with the DMV immediately after moving I was supposed to change my car's address too because apparently cars have separate addresses when they're leased.
I always thought Robespierre was a cool young dude. :ohhh
He's right, this might be your ticket to Switzerland.
Well at least that would have reasonable living costs.
I sat on my own cock. I was attempting to sit down for a pee and I was parallel parking my ass to the seat, but some how my dick got traction with the front of the toilet seat and bent over itself. I then panicked, mid park, and tired to both continue the sit down while scooting forward which ended up with my dick in between the seat and my own ass.Sounds like you've accidentally trained your junk. You shouldn't be practicing this move so much:

Why don't you just smile quickly rather than think of all these potential microexpressions?
I have a beard. I can't smile cause I don't want to make the girls think they are going to get raped.
Well, hopefully everything turns out fine on your end. I don't know if you plan on/expect to be able to stay much longer.

You've got to put yourself in situations where you come to junctures and have to choose, if you throw your hands up and quit no more junctures will ever come your way and you'll never dig your way out of your situation.
Nobody is going to give a fuck about you or even notice you if you aren't putting in effort in some form or fashion - whether that means bettering yourself emotionally, physically, professionally, whatever. You've constantly expressed that you have no interest in doing any of that so...
I hate to be a dick but I think a lot of people here used to be at a low point in some form of fashion socially. I had to kick myself out my room and just put myself out there. Going to the gym, or going to a restaurant, etc. Just being around random people and talking to folks. I went to events that I'd normally never go to, especially in college. I even met Cheebs for christs sake. Obviously everyone isn't going to have the same plan but you have to find something that works for you. If not you'll just do what you've been doing: making the same post over and over every few months.

It might be good for you, give you an impetus to throw away some stuff you should have thrown away but didn't because you didn't have to. Downgrading to the Commune meant I had to get rid of a lot of stuff I frankly wasn't using anymore (e.g. my console collection). :)

Dreampt about the girl I liked in highschool. Dream was so depressing that in the dream I realized it was a dream and that I should stop it before I get more depressed. Woke up and remembered she's been with the same guy for half a decade and I'm going no where in life.

Just realized I was sitting on a potato chip. Went to the restroom and yes there is now a grease stain on the back of my pants. I had a few chips on lunch but I have no idea how one got on my chair. :beli
between this, the belt fiasco a few weeks ago, and my mom running into me during a recent lunch break and telling me she bought me some shirts (as my coworkers held in smirks)...I'm pretty sure my coworkers must think I'm eight years old.

My nephew went to the first day of sophomore year in a fedora. Or a trilby. He's dead to me now.
Right side of my hairline seems to be slowly getting worse, so I've been wondering how I would look with a shaved head. I have a big ass head though and can't grow a beard at all, so I feel like a baldy would look horrible on me.
It's the one thing that I'm still crazy self conscious about, so it's a struggle for me dammit. :mafspoiler (click to show/hide):fbm[close]
No. I've thought about it, but I can't bring myself to do it. Not yet at least. What sucks is that it might not even be male pattern baldness. It could be damage from when I was young & dumb and would get my hair cornrowed all the time smh. Maybe I should see a doc or something just to be sure. Dunno if they'd be able to confirm that.Right side of my hairline seems to be slowly getting worse, so I've been wondering how I would look with a shaved head.

sorry to hear that. Honestly though a bald cut looks better than a visibly receding hairline. Have you tried getting a real low fade cut, just to sort of get a sense of what a full bald cut would look like?

Also took a four hour nap on the sidewalk last night. My life is literally in the gutter. :rejoice
Someone knocked at my door at 3am looking for someone that lives 2 or 3 houses down. Motherfucker, if you don't know where someone lives, 3am isn't a good time to figure it out. He didn't even seem high.I'm legitimately interested in how you actually addressed this person at 3AM, and how long it took you to get back to sleep.
I gotta try absinthe to continue on my path towards true Kara-ization :preachI want to try it too...
You're an inspiration man :usacry
The custom of drinking absinthe gradually became so popular in bars, bistros, cafés, and cabarets that, by the 1860s, the hour of 5 p.m. was called l'heure verte ("the green hour"). Absinthe was favoured by all social classes, from the wealthy bourgeoisie, to poor artists and ordinary working-class people. By the 1880s, mass production had caused the price of absinthe to drop sharply. By 1910, the French were drinking 36 million litres of absinthe per year, as compared to their annual consumption of almost 5 billion litres of wine.
One critic claimed:
Absinthe makes you crazy and criminal, provokes epilepsy and tuberculosis, and has killed thousands of French people. It makes a ferocious beast of man, a martyr of woman, and a degenerate of the infant, it disorganizes and ruins the family and menaces the future of the country.

Also, just today I gave that same excuse of "Oh, I didn't get enough sleep last night. That's why I'm jittery." To the grocery store cashier today while I was writing a check. Which was a lie. I had plenty of sleep. :stahp
She even said to me, "Hey, are you okay? You can take your time with that check you know."
And I'm all: "Hahaha! Yeah, I'm fine! Hahaha!" *b-lines out the door*
I don't know for certain. I just assume I have some sort of social anxiety even though I haven't been properly diagnosed.Also, just today I gave that same excuse of "Oh, I didn't get enough sleep last night.

In any case, could be worse: You could be in a shitty situation, and feel like nothing you do will change the shitty situation.
I don't know for certain. I just assume I have some sort of social anxiety even though I haven't been properly diagnosed.
Now that I have a good chunk of money to spend, after saving it for two years while I was living with my parents, I'll probably try to get some sort of professional help.
And yes, I could be worse off. Sorry about your shitty situation whatever it may be. :(
That does look like something that normal people would do. Reasonably sure. I hope you get a positive response.
The opening up to friends thing, not the anxiety.
Colleague asked if I have any sales coming in today, I said I would if our main office would have been open cause I need to open a customer account to process a sale, colleague replied that's a weak excuse and I should have opened the account sooner.

Did you call Comcast and have them add your new modem's MAC address to your account?
Yea. Today the tech came out. He said the signal strength was pretty low/weak, and ended up replacing the splitter outside. I think he did some other shit too but I'm not sure. Everything seemed to be working and then I DC'd again about 5 hours after he left. Granted it was a short DC, and replugging the modem fixed it, but still. I'll monitor the situation and see how it works this week.

Been waking up with bloody noses. :-\
Shaved my beard of ten months. Not sure if this is a struggle or a triumph, but I don't remember my face looking this weird.
Fuck my nose bleeds in the morning from the slightest touch too. My nose is shit though, I had a vein or whatever burned when I was like 6 and it stopped things for a while, but it came back hard later when I was like in my teens. I wake up every so often and scratch my nose and suddenly blood.
All that shit comes from just having a dry nose, you can actually stop it easily by putting a little petroleum jelly at the opening of your nose before you go to bed. Thing is then you have fucking jelly in your nose and no one's about that business. Also humidifiers, but again who wants to sleep in damp shit.
:what
I suppose I should have asked why you thought they were trash.
These days I just smoke weed all day every day to deal with my undiagnosed mental issues. 8):mynicca
I had my nose cauterized too, as a teen. Nothing like smelling your own burning flesh for days. I didn't even want to eat. But yeah I need to do some sort of jelly under the nose or saline spray up there.

I had nightmares about that shit when I was a little ass kid, I vividly remember it hurting like fuck and walking out of the office crying like a bitch with my nose running non stop like it was a faucet. I don't know how they normally do it, but we were broke as fuck and it had to have been done with no local anesthesia or anything.

Girlfriend works as a physical therapy place.

Kara, do we have the same birthday? :lol
Was my birthday a couple days ago. (Too late for you to wish me it now. :jawalrus)
Hate my birthday and prefer not to celebrate it, but if you want to recognize it I'm not going to be ungrateful. But only if you recognize it on my birthday. (I'd rather get a text the day of than a party days later when it's convenient.)
This year I thought I'd had my best birthday since my seventeenth. The only two people on the planet who could possibly lay claim to knowing me in a meaningful way were the only ones to wish me a happy birthday. My brother from another mother even surprised me with a viewing of 22 Jump Street.
Then one of my gal pals leaves a birthday card days later (strike 1) in my public inbox (strike 2) saying that we need to do something when she's free in the future (foul ball strike 2) which forces a bunch of people in the office that desk is at to fall over themselves trying to not look like they forgot about Dre culminating in an awkward birthday lunch next week (strike 3).
Now I have to be a jerkwad and tell my gal pal explicitly that it's either day of or not at all in the future and that she alone shat up a perfectly good birthday. I also have to pick my own fucking restaurant for my shamefully late "birthday" lunch. Good fucking grief, fuck everything.

This year I thought I'd had my best birthday since my seventeenth. The only two people on the planet who could possibly lay claim to knowing me in a meaningful way were the only ones to wish me a happy birthday. My brother from another mother even surprised me with a viewing of 22 Jump Street.
Then one of my gal pals leaves a birthday card days later (strike 1) in my public inbox (strike 2) saying that we need to do something when she's free in the future (foul ball strike 2) which forces a bunch of people in the office that desk is at to fall over themselves trying to not look like they forgot about Dre culminating in an awkward birthday lunch next week (strike 3).
Now I have to be a jerkwad and tell my gal pal explicitly that it's either day of or not at all in the future and that she alone shat up a perfectly good birthday. I also have to pick my own fucking restaurant for my shamefully late "birthday" lunch. Good fucking grief, fuck everything.
Kara, do we have the same birthday? :lol
If you posted that message from Funimation on your actual birthday then no.

Had to go to the ER today because of some serious pain in my lower abdomen. Results came back that it's an inflamed colon, likely caused by diverticulitis [which is super-rare for people under 30]. I gotta take some antibiotics and then go get a colonoscopy in a couple of weeks.

Got a new job but their health insurance is terrible ($1050/month with a $500 deductible and 80% coinsurance.) Went on healthcare.gov and the average bronze and silver plans have $12,000 and $11,000 deductibles. Average gold plan at $600/month has a $5,000 deductible.
I haven't made it yet, brahs. My company insurance plan would be approaching 20% of our income and I've got the debts to pay off. The Obamacare plans are such bad deals they just don't make any sense.
My wife technically has coverage as a member of the Cherokee Nation and I technically have coverage under the VA but both of those are extremely cumbersome to use and their coverage isn't great to begin with.
Watdo?

Also- Wrath, I've been in a similar situation. Take it from me- help your family out, but set some guidelines and deadlines. "I'm going to be here for 2 years (or whatever it is) to help you out, but after that you need to fix your own fucking shit."
Obviously I don't know all the particulars of your situation but if you keep staying indefinitely your feelings of frustration with your father are just going to get worse. That I do know.

Not really much of a story to it.
One time last summer we were both hanging out in a group of co-workers, drinking. After I made a funny comment he said something along the lines of "he's such a funny guy, I just wanna make out with him sometimes!" to the whole group and I just assumed it was just a sorta creepy joke for my own sake but I did kinda get that vibe from him a few times. Another night soon after I go to his apartment with him after the bar to smoke some weed, and he starts begging me to come to bed and make out / cuddle with him and I peace the fuck out and just never mention it again since I have to continue working with the dude. :kobeyuck
Anyways, last night it happened again, but at least this time it was outside and not where I was trapped in a tiny apartment. Now I gotta see the guy again today and pretend it never happened. :snoop I don't even know if he's gay, he's just a super lonely dude looking for affection in any form. Honestly though, even if I was into dudes I don't think I'd go for it. Not that cute, sorry. :larry
I doubt he's black, PD.
I feel like I've become too apathetic and it probably led to all my issues lately.Uh-oh. :doge

Had a problem with anxiety/panic the past week, it's pretty much straight up hell-garbage, brehs. Couldn't relax, couldn't rest, my blood pressure was through the roof. I lost two whole nights to just feeling like I was gonna die. But I am feeling somewhat better today and I'm supposed to see a doctor soon. A lot of it just convincing myself that it's all in my head, though, and learning to calm down instead of getting so worked up.
I think I caught something overnight. Feel legit dizzy and already dry heaved at work once. Not sure if I'm gonna stay all today.
I had some pretty bad gum problems a while back that required me to get surgery. Things were looking up afterwards, but since last week, they started bleeding again. Before, they only bled in the mornings when I got up, but now they're bleeding randomly throughout the day again. I spent a fuckton of money on that surgery so this does not put me in good spirits. :/I had a gum graft once and I think I remember random bleeding for a few weeks or months maybe after (this was like 10 years ago). Everything ended up fine though.

Pretty sure drug abuse and crime was a lot worse when you were a kid.
"Now it’s at an all-time high across the nation, not just here but everywhere,” Weatherford said. "There are so many people out there dealing with this stuff. They are pretty open about it.”
In fact, the CDC says heroin use is at epidemic levels and young people 18 to 25 are falling prey. Between 2002 and 2013 nationally, the rate of heroin-related overdose deaths nearly quadrupled, and more than 8,200 people died in 2013.
Heroin has evolved to the point where dealers label their batch in pride with names such as Call of Duty.
"That’s indicative to the perception of harm or disapproval being very low right now,” said Erin Day, director of the Wilson County Substance Abuse Coalition. "We need to increase the perception of risk, harm, because it’s real. That’s an opportunity for our community.”
My wife had a friend who lived in Florida that died from a heroin OD. He and his gf shot up one day and they both passed out. She woke up and shot up some more and injected what was left into him as he was still passed out. He never woke up. His family tried to get her on a murder charge and she just couldn't understand where these accusations were coming from because she didn't do anything wrong. :lol
Sorry, it's hard not to laugh at completely oblivious people.
It took white people dying of heroin for anyone to start a national discussion on it. :doge

My only advice is make sure your shit is locked up tight and put in a security system. It seems like it's not a matter of if you'll get robbed anymore, but when...sad times.
Drugs are like clothes. They go in and out of style and can vary wildly based on where you live. Heroin was very much "in" in the early 90's, you just had to live in the right spots in the country where it was distributed cheaply.
As for my struggle. Monday was my birthday and I got my Facebook birthday wishes than actual phone calls or invites to do anything. Most of them came from people I haven't even fucking talked to in 6 months or more.

Jesus christ get a fucking grip. Heroin wasn't 5 bucks a bag in the 90's nor was it prevalent in the suburbs and rural areas. Every goddamn law enforcement agency is adopting narcan as standard equipment now
Hell don't take my word for it, http://www.cdc.gov/vitalsigns/heroin/

Just because something becomes more widespread (or reported), doesn't mean it was non-existent before. There's plenty of bios and first-hand accounts of people who partied in the early 90's and heroin was one of the drugs that was floating around.
I apologize that having a different opinion and speaking with more nuance is uncomfortable for you.
Nuance? Your evidence is "uh I read stories" and you provided no proof. Awesome.
While we're here, why do you feel the need to shit on people for any little thing?

That's how it is now a days. It's kinda funny to see those sorts of people doing that and you're like "Uh... thanks?"
Opiates are a dirty secret in the midwest. Once states started limiting how much pseudoephedrine you could buy at once, the era of bathtub meth was over. Then it was opiates like oxycodone and the like because chances are that people knew other people who were prescribed opiates due to pain (whether it be related to an injury or chronic pain). Except once people couldn't afford oxycontin, they started shooting up heroin and fentanyl because it was a cheaper high.
It's been going on for almost a decade now but nobody is really talking about it much because it's the rural areas and lol flyover country amirite?
Fuck I feel terrible for letting it get that bad. Feel like a bad parent.

Got a bill today from my recent trip to the ER [CT scan, some injections, blood and urine samples, and a bed for a couple hours] and after my insurance paid a huge chunk of it I still owed $3,400. :goty
If you do end up with a money crisis in the near future then you could ask the hospital to forgive whatever is left and they often do that sort of thing as part of their charity spending. Does it look like they're able to fix your pooper?
I tried to get two differents ones a few weeks ago but apparently having credit is a prerequisite to getting a credit card. :maf

Given recent events I'd suggest you start with a secured card, Andy. (You put down a security deposit up front.)

Walked Nami 5 hours today; no poop. Also realized my back tooth has a huge chunk missing. Pretty sure I cracked it on a popcorn curnal 3 weeks ago. Haven't been to the dentist in 2 years. Also need new contacts. And I'm totally out of money. Fuck.
Also, not to sound like a parental unit, but if your household economics are as such that you find yourself unable to afford food or absorb emergency costs, it's probably a good opportunity to step back and evaluate your lifestyle and your ability to support that lifestyle. Pets aren't children where you can get some of that sweet government assistance and having access to short-term credit is super important (if only to cushion you from emergencies).

Deleting threads gives me mad fomo. Can't they just go somewhere for the regs only? Senior member private board? The struggle :fbm

My eye keeps going out of focus. Shit is really annoying.
I'm watching the 90's TV Charmed. WTF am I doing with my life.
This is the show that got me into sister-sister incest fetish. Also the CGI is very bad.
I mentioned this awhile back, but an article by a former coworker on the Heroin epidemic:

Good luck, also is the camera black?

Never even got to see the camera. They gave me an anesthetic injection and I was out like a light in about ten seconds. Woke up later in a totally different room with the procedure already over.
Yeah, I'm just gonna continue to refuse to be involved and not make waves. Corporate is based on the east coast and is not ever really involved locally
That's okay, when that guy inevitably gets caught (and he will, unless he quits before he gets caught), you're all going to get fired anyway for turning a blind eye.If the "superior" is someone CatsCatsCats reports to in any way, he can just claim he was unwilling to martyr himself as a whistleblower. Because the USA loves whistleblowers lately.
It was the "I just got up" smoke for me.
It'll suck pretty bad but afterwards you'll be able to enjoy it / use it as a PED again. :)

Went and bought a full tabacco filter cig at the unit for now. Having to go at the tobacconist for every round of drugs may help me limiting myself.

Just got out of the Hospital to fix the deviated septum I apparently had since a child. They took out my nasal splints after I thought they were going to wait a week and I was still hurting from post-op. It hurt like a motherfucker because they were fucking huge ones.
Now my nose is swollen and blacked up. Black crumbs of dried blood for the next three days and bland food. And worst of all. No Hot Coffee

Does it change the appearance or just help with breathing? I'm supposed to get a septuloplasty in the next few months.
Right by the expressway in Joliet, Missouri there's a big factory with "F.A.G. Ball Bearings" in huge letters on the side of it for the American branch of the German company F.A.G.
This was brought on by the church's new policy of excluding children of gay parents to be baptized (and thereby interact in any meaningful way) into the church.LDS priorities every bit as screwed up as they've ever been. Sorry, Puppy. It's nice that your brethren get to be judgmental and all, so they can just ignore that part of the "only God can judge" thing. I'm godless and free to judge though, so congratulations to all of LDS on following a religion created by a known con artist who convinced followers that he had magic glasses. Mormons at least beat Scientologists to the punch by more than a century; the early bird gets dibs on the magic underwear, I guess.
And also putting being married to someone of the same sex on the hard list of apostasy which in essence makes worse than rape, sexual abuse, and in cases, murder.
Puppy, are y'all practicing Mormons or just have a lot of family? I forget.We haven't practiced since prop 8. But my wife's family is MORMON way way mormon. Mine less so but they're still mormon too.
Puppy, I've been reading the Mormon thread over on GAF. Sounds like the older of my two younger brothers is having his "go away from the church" crisis. I'm betting as soon as he is able to move out of my parents house he will go full on ditch the church mode.I'd say something about "LOLZ < 1 year" but honestly I've met too many indians that have great marriages that met their spouse a week before they got married (of course they were arranged) to each their own I guess.
Meanwhile my youngest brother got engaged to some girl he met through church activities and has known less than a year. And she currently lives in a completely different state (while finishing her degree). She tagged my bro in a post on FB saying how excited she was to get to marry her best friend. It seems weird to me that she considers someone she's known less than a year to be her best friend. I guess I'm just feel weird because my last long term relationship I lived with the girl for like 2 years, survived being temporarily homeless, survived a 17 hour car trip and yet still ended up having it not work out and he's marry a girl he doesn't even see daily.
I also had to tell him that if I do manage to make it up for the wedding I can't go to the actual wedding because I'm totally not temple eligible at this time (nor will I likely ever be again).
But it does suck about not being able to attend the wedding. Remember, the church is doing it because they love you and want you to be close to your family.
If your brother's marriage ever went south his soon to be waifu wouldn't talk to him again (barring kid crap) while you and your ex have had a post-relationship relationship because you had something more substantial. God hates us all.

That sucks man. When you are young, the credit card companies look for any reason to put you in the high risk category. It took me much of my twenties to improve my credit after I had an unpaid electric bill when I was 21 (I moved out, but still got charged for the next month).
If it's one delinquency type of thing, you can bounce back from that pretty quickly. That happened to me once when I dropped nearly a hundred points from the mid-700s to like 630 or so because I got doublecharged on a dental bill. And it took about a year to get back to where I was. This is maybe different since it's multiple bills from the same company but don't worry too much about it and just set everything on autopay. Ultimately a high credit score is only important for loans and you're probably years away from buying property.
Aren't the credit agencies supposed to drop erroneous black marks if you challenge them?
Kids been sick what seems like forever, back to back one thing after another. At least 3/4 weeks in last two months.Sorry to hear your kid's having trouble.
Feel so bad for my little trooper and am pretty exhausted to boot.
People say its normal at the start of daycare but oh lordy it would be nice to have some family closeby to help out.
Credit karma is also a scam. I was using it to keep on my score when I was getting ready to buy a house, my score when pulled by the bank was about 150 points higher. Credit karma is designed to sell you credit services by freaking you out.
Also, Andrex, you'll be fine. Most 18 year olds don't have good credit. I got my first credit card in my freshman year of college and used it really stupidly. My score was in the 500s for awhile, but I got it up to 700+ by my mid-20s.
time to lose 10 pounds in order to catch Bryan Singer's eye.
Of course, I do entertain the idea of producing my own movies, and bad credit will make that harder at least.
Golly you guys sure have a lot of life experience!

You try having a face wound as deep as mine (2.5mm) get poison ivy in it, and then we'll see. It keeps me from scratching it too. Pretty hard to scratch when yer passed out.
Nope. I never shot it or anything else. Not addicted to it either. I had a brief love affair with it after college, then took acid for the first time. Decided it was bad for me.You realize this is bad right. I know you like impressing us with the quality of your shit but heroin is heroin dude. Chill.
I had a friend who started smoking heroin. I don't talk to him anymore, neither does his now ex-wife or kids
Fell back into depression this month. Things were going good then suddenly they weren't and I feel like I have absolutely no control over it. I'm pretty tired of everyday being a struggle just to get up, do work, and eat right.

Counting yesterday, I have smoked it a grand total of 5 days in the past 7 years. Yesterday was the first time in 2 years. It'll be years before I smoke it again, if ever. I need no intervention for that.
And for those of you who say it should be zero days in 7 years; Have you ever been hit by a car? Have you ever been stabbed in the back (literally)? Have you ever taken a beating with a metal baseball bat?
Because I have.
These things hurt alot, and pills do nothing for that level of pain.
Don't worry about me Boreans, only thing thing I'm smoking today (and for the foreseeable future) is weed. :)

Had an ovarian cyst.
Had to get morphine or some kind of derivative of it, I can't stand opiates though so I needed an anti-nausea to go with it. Had to tell them to give me more anti-nausea, felt the exact moment it wore off.

Dunno why I go inside gas stations instead of paying outside; a struggle occurs each time I go in. This morning I was in line and overhead an older white gentlemen explaining that Anne Frank was fabricated by the "Jewish government" to create sympathy for Jews, which they quickly exchanged for money/land/etc. One of the points he made, which I could tell he was quite proud of himself for figuring out, was "what happens when you put the stein back into her last name? You get Frankenstein. Another fake story with similar themes with the Holocaust."

I think to be fair to Andy, that they should explain the importance of clothes. a lot of kids hate getting clothes for Christmas. I think it was a good time for a lesson of being appreciative and wouldn't fault Andy or even the niece in this case. She's 7 and doesn't know better. I think it was a good time for the family to instill the importance of clothes and the idea of Xmas gift sharing rather than fighting about it. Honestly, no offense to you Andy, but Andrex's mom is kind of the person who escalated things here. Not Andrés, not the grandparents, and not the niece. Andrex's sister has the right of it that their mom has no right to decide what to do with the clothes, and rather than correct her granddaughter and promote more appreciative behavior, she decided to ignore the problem in general by threatening to donate the clothes.
I can only imagine how Andy's grandparents feel about their daughter (?) deciding to donate the clothes they bought (made?) rather than teach their great grandchild the value of their gift.
I'd suggest to Andrex to tell your mother your sister is right and to support your sister and to use this time to instill a lesson for your niece tbh but it looks like she already knows she was wrong and is a good kid anyways.
Kid's mom should be calling out her daughter for being bratty, explain the importance of clothes/useful gifts that aren't just toys.
Kid's mom's mom should stay out of it, ain't her kid.
You should check in with your sis/kid's mom about your niece's behavior as of late before showering her with tons of gifts.
Chill out more with your grandparents before they're gone.
At least you have grandparents Andrex. Mine are all dead, and every holiday event is lifeless now.
Oh wait I forgot to mention my mom told me tonight she's getting a biopsy in a month and might have cancer.

My ex got me an Amazon gift card for Christmas and I used it to buy a book by the same niche (in an anglophone reading public sense) East German fiction author that she bought a book authored by with an Amazon gift card she got for Christmas. It was the same book, actually. We've never talked about the book or the author before ever, yet arrived at this same point. Make bad life decisions y'all.

iPhone is fucked. Battery drain problems up the wazoo. Did everything I could on my end, ending with setting up it as a new device. Same problem. It goes from 100%, to 80% in a matter of minutes. Then goes to around 70% and finally just drops all the way to 40% after just a few minutes...then dies and says no battery. I get maybe an hour max of usage out of the phone daily. This has been going on for about two weeks.
So I went to the Apple Store. Waited for over and hour, only for the result I expected: battery is fine, software is fine. Except, y'know, something is not fine. :doge Apple guy says he basically can't do shit about it and proceeds to tell me to try the same things I explained that I did when I started talking to him.
Go to AT&T. Not eligible for an upgrade for two more months. Can't wait that long. Can't get off this old family plan with unlimited data and setup my wife and I on a new data plan, despite them wanting their customers to do this.
So I bought a new phone. Went Android this time. I need an Apple break. $899 after tax. :-\ The good news? The iPhone may be out of warranty from Apple, but it was bought with an AMEX and they're gonna reimburse the full amount we paid- over $400. We don't have to send the phone to them either, so I can also sell it for another $300 or so.
:aah

(Please say Nexus or Moto.)
Note 5.
The Note 5 is a great phone, I got a Moto X which is the same size/basically the same specs but it starts at $400. Samsungs are basically Android iPhones though so they'd rather overdo specs/camera/whatever than make people think there's any compromises.
Still don't look as pretty as current Motorolas. :-[ :-*

I'll look on the bright side and say that it will help us in the long run, as it will bring us all closer together and make us all eat healthier/smarter. But right now, it's pretty hard getting a routine down.
About 2 months ago the California State Board of Equalization called to let me know they had audited a special Beer/Wine Importer tax return I filed last year because something in their software messed up a few forms like mine (people who import both beer, wine and sparkling wine under a certain limit, their must be under 20 of us in the state) and I got like a 12 dollar refund. They sent me the paltry check, whatever, but then on Monday I get a call that they because I had gotten audited (for their error) they were extending the audit to the last three years of my sales and use tax. It's the most expensive 12 dollars I've ever seen.
Very sorry to hear that Toxic. We don't always see eye to eye but I've got kids so I feel it man. I can help you navigate with UH if you need a good doctor.
This is what I've heard. My accountant is good and I have a pretty complete record of every transaction but man :(About 2 months ago the California State Board of Equalization called to let me know they had audited a special Beer/Wine Importer tax return I filed last year because something in their software messed up a few forms like mine (people who import both beer, wine and sparkling wine under a certain limit, their must be under 20 of us in the state) and I got like a 12 dollar refund.

SBOE is one of the few legitimately scary tax agencies (for reasonably compliant taxpayers), I'll pray for you. 🙏

I bought sex toys online and Canada post has fucked up the delivery now I got to go around asking where my sex toys are at.
I will not
I wouldn't disrespect PD by getting something calling its self a black dong but only being 10.5" long.
Accidentally just emailed of my friends a picture of my wife performing fellatio on me with our faces clearly visible.
Ironically, the email said "I am going to kill myself tomorrow" and I meant to attach a picture of Luke Wilson shaving from Royal Tennenbaums as part of a string of jokes. Now I might actually have to kill myself.
:lol how is that angle possible?
I heard you're going to need new friends soon. Well, here we are.
Yes. Yeees.
I fucking hate overly or stupidly simplyfied tools, tech, UI, etc. It all too regularly just makes things less intuitive or complicates them or removes basic fucking functionality that didn't need removing.
Ya I should just figure out how to put music on my android phone
but first I should figure out how to get data on it, its been like 10 months and I still havent done that. It keeps on saying I can't log on to the providers network :dead
I'm honestly thinking os switching providers just so I can hand the phone to the service girl and say 'make it do things'.
Be computer literate and use Apple products brehs.
"I want to use UNIX at home." :expert

It updated my whole fucking ipod OS no wonder it took so fucking long
I didn't want that.
'Welcome to your iPod'
I've been welcomed to my ipod for the last 3 fucking years I owned it. Fuck you
Also I still don't know how to transer an album with the new itunes. Jesus.
Barfing within an hour of waking up, I'm sick like ever 3 fucking weeks. And I hardly left the house this week too. Fuck.You eat like shit. Not too surprising.

My grandma is in the hospital and having surgery on Thursday. They're not sure she'll make it. Don't know why I'm posting this here but I can't on Twitter/FB. Gonna talk to her on the phone tomorrow night and I'm expecting it to be 1+ hour. I'm thankful I even have that chance but I hope she pulls through.
She kicked cancer's ass 15 years ago (unrelated to current condition), so we know she's a tough old broad. But still. :-\
After a few employees at my office were caught planning a terrorist attack on our own building I thought I wouldn't be seeing much more ISIS action today. But lo and behold some crazy sneaked in through the parking tower and lost security. People were kinda losing their shit but it turned out to be your run of the mill nut. We caught him and he's out of the building.
Quite the day today.

brb, applying for work in Saudi.
Good luck dude. Hope it goes well.
My 94 yearold grandpa went into the hospital monday with a bladder infection (again). Shit sucks.
Best of luck, Andrex.
I'm trying to get an expat assignment to Saudi!brb, applying for work in Saudi.
Me too!
Interesting tidbit: Found out today that the attack was supposed to target my floor for having westerners and "western sympathizers", so if they weren't caught I would have been killed. So that's great.

I never feel less macho than when I order a macho size Coke Zero at Del Taco.
Stomic sounds like stomache to you? I thought you are Canadian, not Australian.
My dog is being an asshole. First he sexed up my neighbors dog then he decided to tear into their garbage. So my ass was out at 430 this morning in the cold picking up fucking garbage with my hands.
Doesn't usually act like this, wonder what got into him.
Foisted by my own mnemonic. :gotyStomic sounds like stomache to you? I thought you are Canadian, not Australian.
stomic sounds like stomic, stomach ache sounds like stomic ake.
also google tells me stomach has no e so na na nana na.
My gf says I kiss her in my sleep :snoop
Got in an argument in Facebook:goty
This is why I haven't dated anyone in 9 years
Wish I could be a robot
You haven't dated anyone since you were 14?
So you've basically never dated
I'm honestly shocked you haven't been on a date with a guy yet despite getting laid so much.
So you've basically never dated
Yeah I suppose. It's better that way. :)I'm honestly shocked you haven't been on a date with a guy yet despite getting laid so much.
Don't want to get anyone involved in my bullshit. Not fair to them to ask them to keep a secret. :yeshrug
That's...bullshit. Your family doesn't even live in Boston. You've said multiple times they live hours and hours away. Keep your romantic and personal life separate from your family. For now. Your family not knowing you're gay shouldn't stop you from pursuing mi amor. Having nothing but sex will leave you a bit longing.
I'll keep your secret :)

With how connected everything is and how people get excited about announcing relationship shit on FB and telling all their friends it's just too big a risk. And going on a date with someone and then being like "Yeah so don't mention me in any of your FB posts ever, and no pics either" is pretty shitty. It's just not the right time.
I know I'll get there someday. :)I'll keep your secret :)

I was going to retroactively justify my purchase of Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam by telling myself that I played all the other Paper Mario games so I had to play this one too, but then I remembered that I didn't play Sticker Star.
Some dude tried to sexually harass another dude at work today and I was there to stop it.
Now I have to stay in for a bit, wait for the manager to come back and get footage from security because I was instructed to do so. I only had an hour left at work and then this shit has to happen. At least it will get this dude fired, who has been trying and failing to gain access to the ladies section(it's Saudi, sue me) at work.
Hospital again in two days.
Nose seems to have healed fine (No more pain at least) but there's been blood in my mucus and when I cough the last two weeks and they think the stitches never fell out. :brazilcry
My favorite sushi place shut down :(
It was cheap, and close to work but better than the cheaper and closer suchi place.
Not sushi girl place.
That's like my 3rd favorite place.
Total of 4 hours of sleep last two nights, currently trying not to pass out at my desk, pretty worried about the 45 minute drive up the mountain tbh
And I'm playing Neko Atsume, did someone make an L thread?
And I'm at work so I can't sing outloud. The struggle is real today.
Added ya, but I'm not seeing Game Center functionality for that game? Could be my old ass phone I'm using or something.Thanks. Added ya back, and I haven't yet fired it up, but: JAPAN. Probably because: Japan.
Had the accounts ive been working on after my boss told me to focus on them reassigned to someone else :lol
What a collosal waste of time
Gonna send out a job application this week fuck this shit
I assume there's no paper (or email) trail of this? No sense trying to win that argument otherwise.

wanted to put music on ipod:
0) need to move album to itunes
1) Itunes is out of date so I need to update it
2) then I need to update itunes on the ipod
3) but first I need to transfer my purches from my ipod to my mac
4) which needs to be done because iCloud was trying to make me change my password a few months ago and I didn't want to so I turned it off
All in all it has taken an hour to get to the point where the ipod is finally updating itunes. All I wanted was to transfer one fucking album to my ipod. And its always like this because I hardly ever do it.
Mobile devices and not being able just to have a file system I can manage :piss2 :piss2 :piss2
Never buying an apple product again.
I'm still upset about last night

Got a sprayed by a skunk on Monday, still smell skunky. I'm sure everyone at work hates me. Probably should have just taken the week off, but I had too much stuff to do.
Can't do cool like like snap chat the beer I'm drinking at lunch since my boss now follows me

It turns out I have probably given/gotten it from my lady friend a few days ago. :doge
So work has shifted my work role from more of delivery and management to more sales. My company needs me to do this role, I get that. But I hate it. I. hate. it.
I know how to manage people, I know how to manage projects, I know how to build, I know how to negotiate what's needed, I know how to lead. But this sales stuff? I hate all of it. I don't like things that are beyond my control, and nearly everything in sales is beyond your control. A client decides to do something internally? Nothing you can do. They decide to start next quarter instead of this quarter? Nothing you can do. They don't get back to you for weeks? Nothing you can do. They, for some silly reason don't like you? You're fucked, and there's also practically nothing you can do. When I was managing a team, something goes wrong I know the levers to pull to fix it. Someone doesn't return my call? They're fired. Etc, etc. I've been around the block long enough to know that there's growing pains in every new position as you flex muscels you haven't used before. But, this seems to me to be beyond growing pains to just being something I really don't like. I didn't mind it when it was a deal or two here and there, but 100% all this? No thanks. I'm somewhat torn, my company needs this to be done, and really I'm the only one that makes sense to do it, so I can't really say, "Hey, I hate this, let someone else do this." and I'd rather not leave my company to leave the role. But I don't know if this is going to work.

If sales isn't for you, then inevitably your work overall is going to suffer. If your overall work begins suffering, then your reputation takes a hit if you're well known in your industry (I assume you are some kind of project manager or consultant).
Oh he knows. But he's like "You'll learn to like it." And also he's also said that if I don't do it he'd have to shut down that line of business because he doesn't have anyone else that can do that, and the role is not really one you can hire. Granted I've only been at it for about 4 months, so everyone's like "It's just growing pains. Don't worry."Yeah, that's a load of bullshit for your boss to be that way. If you don't like it, if it doesn't interest you, you're going to leave. You'll either check out formally by quitting, or you'll be less effective because you're not engaged or allowed to self-actualize. It may be a good idea to start looking around for other options. Sorry you're having a bad time of it.

What hit you?
For clarity I wasn't saying he should have done something different since he didn't really provide enough specifics. Just stating an observation that I've made that came to mind from his situation. People like to drive really close together and I don't understand why.
My girl had two of her teeth crack due to an accident a while back, had to have a bridge installed. They just finished it and she's freaking out about it since it was two of the teeth you see facing forward when you smile and she thinks it looks awful. I think it looks fine but damn, you'd think someone just died with how she reacted to it. She's not having it, guess she's going back to see if they can have anything done. :-\

I'm super sick and have a paper deadline at the end of the month. Like I have shat out like 4L of water today. I have gotten sick like once ever 2 months for 3 years.
Basically, she's got the signs of a poor manager who doesn't know how to deal with people. Nothing you can do but smile, roll your eyes, and report when it gets really crazy.
Spent all night with a bubbling stomach only to start shitting every 20min from 3am to 7am. I'm so tired.Have you seen a doctor yet? It's been several days of this, hasn't it? I'm worried. I bet Sushi Girl is worried, too.
My research data came out with really unequal groups. Basically impossible (and unethical) do to any comparisons or statistics between the groups. Has turned into a descriptive trial and lost a chance at being published in a bigger journalI just had that happened with some Market research my boss had me do. He was like "Make something out of this" I'm like, "......I can't...."
Saw the woman I was dating/having sex with for 3 weeks at the end of Jan/beginning of Feb out tonight with the boyfriend she didn't tell me about until I busted her on it, thus ending our thing. That wasn't awkward or anything.

I initially read this as "she didn't tell me about until I busted in her" and was picturing her shouting "I have a boyfriend!" right as you shot your load. That would be awkward.

I was way behind on a project for work, so I stayed up until 2am working on it, then got up at 5:30 to finish up. Now I'm done, but I'm feeling fucking dead.
It wasn't so long ago that I'd be fine on 3.5 hours of sleep for at least one day. I think it was my late 20's when I noticed I was having a harder time with it, and now at 32 it feels almost impossible.

Did the update last night which of course rebooted my machine (i rarely turn it off).
Started working on stuff this morning. Forgot that it had turned off my dropbox as a result. :-\

A DUI is basically a mark saying 'I've put myself in a situation where I could have murdered someone'. Calling it one mistake is a belittlement of the situation. I think I'll stick with our system of tattoos and armbands and using the money from the gold fillings to fund anti-drunk driving television ads like this

I'm definitely really scared about it. I'm hoping we can figure something out to get rid of it and do a bunch of community service instead.
The worst part is that I won't be able to ever get this expunged from my record, ever.
I miss being a college kid when any type of weather delay: entire day cancelled.They just sent out an alert saying all facilities are closed for the entire day because of flooding. Nice for the people already here. I live 53 miles away and every major highway is closed and I'll be god-fucking-damned if I try to go back road routes in flooding weather. So I'm stuck at work.
:tocry
We had a terrible wind storm last year that forced us to cancel work due to lost electricity, but we had already worked half the day before it happened.

Not sure about the regulation but Texas isn't really a state that tends to cover the workers. And yeah, I moved my bike up to the highest area. Thanks bro. I hope she actually starts. I found a route home via Google Maps but it requires taking service roads and a small highway but I'm not sure I have confidence in that.
That looks like the area around my MIL. My family has been sending pictures.

Well then go back there and ask them that. Or at least after the new place gives you an offer (hopefully) then walk in there all high and mighty. But you have to pressure them.
I'm on a 4 day, 10 hour schedule. It's pretty chill. Today's my first day of 3 days off. It's 8:40 PM and I haven't even changed out of the clothes I slept in yet.
I hit a dog with my bike tonight (technically I guess I just kicked it at ~25 km per hour since I managed to swerve at the last second and just connect with my foot while clipped in instead of chewing it to bits in my bladed spokes or my crankset).
This is the kind of fucking bullshit Arvie does, not me. :stahp
Fucking kill me.
ah I'd never hurt an animal - not even by accident. You're on your own with this one puppy murder.
Our 9 years old cat just died a couple hours ago. Cardiac arrest. Not totally unexpected, the condition was suspected and not curable (maybe slowed down) but not confirmed yet. It was sudden and thankfully short.
We're gonna miss the sweet fat fucker :fbm
You can't even kill a dog kara.
Thank you, I'm glad someone here at least cares enough about me to give it to me straight.
Fixed it :lawdA wire hanger is my go to for a clogged drain. Put a slight hook at the end and I've never needed anything else.
The Drano did half the job. I finished it by creating my own snake by combining electrical wire and a wire hanger. Stuck that shit into the pipe, snaked around for 10-15 minutes, then put everything back together. Drain is working now
:rejoice
better learn how to do basic DIY house shit brehs

Just go and act like she doesn't exist. Problem solved.
Good time to quit tobacco.
Good time to suck my dick.
Thats just the addiction talking Chrono.
Look AiA, I don't know if you are being serious with this beef of yours but let it go.
:-\ Best of luck. Nothing more grueling than your superiors at work being oblivious to what the work is.
Jeez max, sounds brutal. No interns. Not even once.
Ah, yes. The Captain Kirk school of business.:-\ Best of luck. Nothing more grueling than your superiors at work being oblivious to what the work is.
The problem is they DO know what this project needs, but they keep attempting to solve the problem with other measures.

Try naproxin and caffeine, Andy-kun.
Dude they weren't going to fuck you. :dogespoiler (click to show/hide)You did the right things that night and maybe they'll remember you as the guy who was pretty good next time.spoiler (click to show/hide)But seriously, they just didn't want to be stuck with the Uber driver who refused to let the one male passenger in.[close][close]
Should not have sent the wife the D pic.
Already done fucked twice and she wants it again after warriors/thunder.

It has some good stuff but it's overall a mess. Fans only.
I just blew out both of my contact lenses while puking. They were my last pair :(
After coming back from vacation, I was dismayed to find that my computer automatically installed Windows 10.Jeez, man. She really had it out for you.
So got home from work at 11pm and my floor was smelling gas. Had to call the gas emergency service and there was indeed a leak in the communal stairs at my level. The joint on the casket is dead as shit, and the technician had to cut our whole building until proper intervention tomorrow. Some of my neighbours are in for a rough surprise tomorrow morning (If it's like my flat, gas is used for cooking, heating, hot water) :doge but you can't really mess around with this.
Had drunk sex with a good friend's most recent ex-GF who he lived with and dated for at least a few years. Gonna be awkward trying to act like it never happened when I'm around him. But it was fun, so fuck it. :)

Did you ask her first if she wanted to have sex with you, bro? Don't make me call the police.
It's Arvie... for you.
Business trip next week, which seems okay. But I'll be there 10 days so I'll be spending the weekend in glorious Brunswick, OH. :'(Do an Ohio Bore meetup.
Also my parents are gonna want to see me that weekend too since they are nearby :gloomy

Brunswick is hillbilly central. It's like 15 miles from my pompous town.I figured it must be something like that, since I've lived in Ohio and never heard of it. Though there's plenty of little towns in Ohio like that. And no, I'm there to redo some little mortgage bank branch.

Also, you do business with MTD?

I know PD must be struggling with this whole Michael Jace thing. His character on The Shield was basically his role model.
Shooting at the UCLA campus. My office is on lockdown. Helicopters circling. Seems two people are down, no word on if they survived, shooter not in custody yet as per most recent update.

No offense, but this is what causes you to drop it? Why?
I've always found your talk of forced sterilization, death camps and firing squads really disturbing.

Its good that technology/programming allows for warnings like that to pop on phones, sorry you were put in that situation Walrus.
On the subject of The Shield, I read about how there was a cut storyline with Ronnie that revolved around his backstory and Julien. Ronnie as a kid went to a pray the gay away camp because he was gay as a teen, think he got sexually abused or raped at the camp. He despised Julien for Julien making the decision to pray the gay away as a fully grown adult. Would've added a good amount of depth to Ronnie and Julien.
Also, there was an episode where Julien's wife's son calls the police because of how Julien and his wife were arguing. Sorta eerie how his character was part of domestic abuse on the show, and then later executes his wife in front of his children.
Pretty sure my producer got canned today. He had a one on one with the boss at 5pm, came back and got his stuff (including things he never takes home) and left without saying anything (he usually says something). Then half an hour later the boss came in and announced we were all going to the bar at 6pm.
The upside is I got pretty drunk on my boss' dime tonight. The downside is tomorrow is probably gonna suck.

Grandpa had a stroke. We're lucky its pretty minor with hopefully no loss of function.
Kinda a gut check. I've been extremely lucky to have such a close family for so long, but their ages are getting up there..

Really I should just hack it and leave 30 seconds before the end of my shift but heh what can you do ? When you're freelance you have to be more dependable and take some pride in your craft.

Ah darn... Just got news that my Grandpa passed away today in his sleep. 88 years in this world.RIP
And apparently his last words were, "I'm going to go on a long journey" before he went to sleep.
Also, an interesting tidbit: I was named after him and my birthday is tomorrow. I'm not one to get all woo-woo but synchronicities like that fascinate me.
Anyways, RIP. :(

If I had to venture a guess, it sounds like they're using the extra amount paid to pay you ahead, which means that instead of applying the excess payment to your principal it's applied to your next amount due instead.I think that is what they're doing, but all things consistent shouldn't the interest amount still be consistently decreasing with each payment posted?
I can understand not wanting to recalculate an amortization schedule every time a borrower overpays, but it's a scuzzy way of maximizing interest when it's chronically done.
I just did 40 days and 40 nights without drinking. Before that I was downing a fifth or more of high-end liquor a day, for months.
I did take up smoking Swisher Sweet Special Editions and White Owl Very Berry cigars with tobacco still in them during that time. Tobacco is worse than heroin, kids.

Had family visit. They asked me about church street. i.e. the gay part of town. And they asked in a way that was basically, 'we would be understanding if you knew a lot about church street'.

We spent the next 20 minutes laughing.

Alright, I think I've got calls or e-mails out to most of my contacts making them aware of the spam and apologizing. Also changed all my passwords that coincided with my e-mail password. Also went and strengthened like all my passwords, got two-step activated on every account I own that offers it. Been working from a new e-mail since I still can't send anything until my ban runs up on my main e-mail because of the mass e-mail I tried to send giving people notice not to open the spam e-mail. Hopefully after the 24 hours runs up tomorrow morning I'll get my main account back :| Since I changed the password and got 2-step up on it, I think it's probably safe to go back to using it rather than burn it all down and start a whole new e-mail account.

I was in my room chilling as he did his thing on the computer, then I glanced at him and realized he was staring at me. He then pointed at the screen. I was thinking oh shit how did I not clean my computer of porn/memes/etc, this is bad, I'm fucked, etc etc...
then I realized it was a google search for "how to communicate with your cat"

When my cat starts meowing annoyingly I tend to meow back. I've wondered whether they're like babies, who react if you mimic their cries/laughs/etc. My cat never really responds or gives the impression she knows I'm trying to communicate.
:uguu
Kitties love slow blinks. A wink is for play times. Kitty language is all eyes and tail, meowing is pretty much solely for humans :lol
And what of Benghazi?Honestly she should have been charged, Wal.
Nope. There is no criminal statute that applies. She probably broke the Federal Records Act, but that has no criminal penalties attached.

I'm so ashamed.
Nami caught on to the fact that if she gets me up earlier I'll feed her earlier. Damn it dog.
I'm not going to share too much on this, but I need to say it somewhere to at least feel a little bit better.
My dad has officially done the worst thing he could possibly do to me, the exact thing I feared the most. And here's where I realize that I'm going to completely cut ties and not look back, no phone number, no internet interaction, not anything. I'm wiping the slate clean and essentially disowning myself of them. I've already been put in a position where it'll take years for me to reach anything resembling an OK life, so going to start fresh now without their baggage.
I have put in so much into these past few years for them, and they thank me by leaving me to the wolves. Fuck them.

Goddamn anxiety again. So if I uses the stove, iron, or leave the houses I have to tell myself explicit that I shut of the oven or locked the door ect. Today I forget to do that explicit mention after using the oven. I'm like 99% sure I shut if off but now I've been panicking for 3 hours at work that I didn't shut it down and my place is on fire.

My favorite band is splitting up and it made me legit sad. :fbm
What band split up?
Zero percent chance they're staying broken up for more than 5-10 years
For real though, unless you're missing a zero or two, that does not sound like a serious number.
Right. I didn't think that far. :dogeFor real though, unless you're missing a zero or two, that does not sound like a serious number.
if our client pulls out because of this, we lose a significant source of revenue

Always baffling to see how uninterested management can be with experience and craftsmanship nowadays.
I'm also working in an industry that is getting killed by clients being leeches. They are looking after their money, I get that, but when exceptional deep rebates and price favors become the norm regardless of how much money you have, how do you expect the whole thing to be sustainable ? Also a widespread tendency to defraud public subsidies by trying to avoid paying their own legally mandated stake in bids. Then cry like children when the subsidies get cut.
Turns out after getting more frantic calls from other managers, we invested hundreds of millions of dollars in a boondoggle that isn't going to give us much revenue and wound up costing more than planned. So now we have to find about $50 million in savings from now to the year's end. So everyone now is scrambling to find savings. So everyone is in a panic because $50m in savings when 2/3 of the year is gone is a tall order, some people are probably going to have to stop working and discontinue any projects in order to meet this new goal. I should also point out that we're making more money than ever so this isn't an issue of whether we continue to work or not, it's one of those things to ensure executive compensation gets a 10-20% yoy increase. The CEO of the company makes over $50 million a year. For reference, ExxonMobil's CEO gets about $25 million per year. So yeah.
There is only about 10 companies where the ceo makes more then 50 btw

I have a cpap machine and man it's a pain in the ass.
I'll admit that without it I was falling asleep at the drop of a dime and dizzy all day, but with it I can actually wake up without feeling like I'm going to fall over right away. That being said, it's like I have a choice: sleep with the mask and be uncomfortable all night and feel like I don't get any sleep (though I obviously do) and have energy for the day, or sleep comfortably without the mask but wake up exhausted. It sucks.
It beats suffocating to death, even if it is in your sleep.
Got to work this morning only to find that I left my keycard and key at home.Well, it's not just the mask though a large part of it is, some masks only cover the nose which I think would be easier. I require one that covers the mouth and nose which is much more uncomfortable. But another part of it is the fact that there's something blowing a lot of air into your lungs. Sometimes you can wake up with sore ribs because of that. Also because you have this big amount of air blowing in your face you have to really strap on that mask tight, which makes it not just about the mask, but about the mask and straps at that point.
:neogaf
Hightailed it back home and got it. Normally it takes me about 20 minutes to get to work. The total trip back and forth was about 70 minutes. :dizzy But hey, I managed to only be about 45 minutes late. That's way less time that it would be if I started later in the morning.I have a cpap machine and man it's a pain in the ass.
I'll admit that without it I was falling asleep at the drop of a dime and dizzy all day, but with it I can actually wake up without feeling like I'm going to fall over right away. That being said, it's like I have a choice: sleep with the mask and be uncomfortable all night and feel like I don't get any sleep (though I obviously do) and have energy for the day, or sleep comfortably without the mask but wake up exhausted. It sucks.
Ugh. Doesn't sound that great. Is it the mask? I was looking at this stuff and see some people say that some types of masks are ridiculously uncomfortable and others are much better. One highly recommended one is called the swift mask.
I tried something different last night and attempted to sleep on my side for as much as I could, and also angled the fan away from my face. Have read that this can help some people. I do actually feel a bit more rested this morning, although still definitely feeling the effects.
Don't most doctors also start with "LOSE WEIGHT" as a treatment for sleep apnea?Yeah, but I'm only 5lbs overweight when I got the machine and even now I'm not much bigger. My doc was genuinely amazed when my sleep study results came back with severe sleep apnea he told me I was one of maybe five patients he had that weren't overweight and didn't smoke and had severe sleep apnea.

Apparently it's a mud dauber wasp nest and not really a big deal.I've never seen one get to that point :lol They try to build them in the corners of my garage every few weeks. I spray them with raid and then scrape it off and smash with my foot.
Until you wake up in the middle of the night, smothering to death under an impenetrable layer of mud.

Fucking United Airlines left me stranded in Houston. I've worked on their data systems so I know they knew I was on the ground and on the way to the last flight out and all they had to do was wait 5 minutes. I know they knew. They just didn't care. But that's not the struggle. I got put up in a hole in the wall motel. But that's also not the struggle. The struggle is that Lucy is on HBO and I've decided to watch it. :brazilcryFuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu. I would have gone to visit you. IAH? I'm literally right across the highway
Decided to cook a 5kg turkey at 9PM. It's now 12:30 and I want to go to bed but its still half frozen :(:confused
As I told somewhere, my employer has failed to comply with some regulation in time (and were unaware of it until we realized that). Long story short, that might jeopardize my status & benefits for all of 2017 and the answer to our queries to fix this situation have been abysmally incompetent, to the point we're wondering if they're not just acting in bad faith (it also happens that there's a drought of work and rumors of some of it being sent overseas). Me and a few dozens of other chaps will probably have to lawyer up.Ugh. Good luck with that.
My GFs father passed away on Wednesday night. He was 73 and was diagnosed with lung cancer (non smoker) 2 months ago where they said he would have about 3-6 months. So the past few days have been really tough. I've never felt so useless in my life.Sorry to hear that, brawndo. Cancer is horrible, but lung cancer for a non-smoker -- just, man, what can you say? I'm sorry for your GF's family, and your feelings of uselessness. I'm sure just being available is helpful to her.
Working 12 hour days is not fun. fuck the money
How do you guys take your mind off one shitty piece of work to focus on other work? I'm dealing with a guy whose a 1%er Wall Street and he literally calls the people under him peons and says he doesn't give a shit about anyone besides himself. Dude is a huge pain the ass to deal with and even insults me. Very frustrating, hard to focus on other stuff cause so annoyed by this guy.

If he asks why it's so much when compared to the competition you can be honest and say, "It's a pain to deal with you, so I'm charging you more. If you were willing to be more amenable while working together, we could discuss the price." You'd be surprised how many times this actually works.
The vet just called. They think Nami has mild kidney disease :( As long as she stays at the level she is at it is manageable though.sorry to hear that. hope all is well.

My iPhone 5S was getting long in the tooth, and had mysterious liquid damage under the screen.
Ordered a same-carrier "white-ROM" used iPhone 6; it arrived in pristine condition.
I've had it less than a week. About 30 minutes ago, I got up for a midnight piss, dropped the thing onto tile, and shattered its screen.
Then, after stewing over it for half an hour, I thought "I've seen people carrying around phones like this all the time, maybe it still will work." So I tried scrolling and ended up putting a glass sliver into my thumb and bleeding a bunch.
So mine was an iPhone 6 because it lasted 6 days.
Mother.
Fucker.
My iPhone 5S was getting long in the tooth, and had mysterious liquid damage under the screen.I dunno if this is still possible but when I worked for Apple I'd tell folks with shattered screens to get Applecare+ (physical damage warranty w/ 2 phone replacements a year) over the phone/webchat, because that just requires you to run an app that checks the internals. Once your phone passes that test you can then immediately take it to an Apple Store and get it replaced. Also the person you buy it from over the phone will get a commission. :lol

Working with those university folks and seeing how they had lives and enjoyed what they did made me realize that while I could be considered "successful" I'm really not any happier for it. I'm working all the time, taking fire from all side, the stress doesn't stop, and I really don't have much time for hobbies anymore. I'm pretty sure I need to get out of this job. I put in a few applications elsewhere but who knows.Do what my game dev friends have done: get university jobs teaching others how to do what you're doing. It's like a former prostitute becoming a madame (but with a bigger pay cut).
Update: When I was in high school, I wasn't a strong swimmer and ended up doing a breast-stroke style without really watching where I was, and I came down face first on the concrete lip of the pool, breaking my front top two teeth in half. Two hours later, after a dentist visit, my teeth were fixed. In a way, other than the traumatic memory of shattering my front teeth, it was like it was never broken.
My phone was kind of like that today. I messed up (twice) last night, but took it in to a local karaoke/arcade which also does iPhone repairs, and found they'd fix it for about $100 (¥12,000). So now my 6 is fixed and I'm ordering a fucking cover for this fucking fucker before I do something else embarrassing and horrible.
Learned that the head of my department thinks I don't care about my job, despite vocal opinions to the contrary from the rest of upper management. Guess I'll put out some resumes.
Sorry to hear that, chrono. Hopefully they can figure out what needs to be done to get rid of it for good.
I also hope you suffer to just the right amount between now and surgery.:-*
I walked Nami with a bit of clam chowder in my beard. I live in a pretty gay neighborhood too. :(
Ordered a GTX 1070 that was "delivered" today by Fedex. Tracking said the dumb fucks left in front of the door. I called my parents who were home all day and asked if they heard the doorbell or if anything was delivered. Nope and nope. So I guess someone snatched my shit. I filed a claim with newegg as soon as I got home about 3 hrs ago, but I'm still fucking frustrated at the Fedex delivery guy.

Do you have insurance for this? I think dental is the only insurance I don't have and I know it will bite me in the ass.Same. I've got pretty healthy dentition though, so finger's crossed. :doge

That's nice, I do have two dentists in the family so hopefully they can fix me up cheap or something when needed.
Also flying to Turkey is popular I think for dental work here.
There have to be decent dentists there if there's a well-known market for it. Middle class northern Euros could probably afford the more competent/upscale ones, should there be a concerning variance in quality.
I have to have a liver biopsy on Friday- I have fatty liver and my liver has swelled in size because of it. But it's not for a serious issue...I hope- they're checking for scarring. Basically was flat-out told my fat ass had to drop the weight or there's gonna be some real problems. Losing the weight should cure me of all my woes. I've had to cut out carbs and sugar. Has been surprisingly easy.
Also was confirmed that I have sleep apnea and I'm gonna have to get a mask. Makes no sense to me since if this is from fatty liver...reducing my weight should be all that's needed. But sure, whatever, will try it.
I've already dropped some pounds, so off to a good start. I lost 35+ pounds last year and gained back like 40 pounds this year...then started having all these problems. Had a lot of stress from last shitty job, but not gonna blame anything but myself. So it's back on the horse and will get my ass back in shape. :punch

Have you considered murder
Meeting today with my displeased committee member.
1) Threatens that if I go a head with the exam as planned, even if all my other committee members like it, he says I will probably fail
2) Says my position paper lacks synthesis. However all the specific points that he says I have missed, I can point out exactly in the paper where I address those issues. He can also not express what is missing, however whatever it is, I need to rewrite a new paper to include it.
3) He agrees that I have followed that specific criteria for this paper as give by the department however he doesn't like those criteria so I should just follow what he wants
4) He admits that this is not his area of expertise - which I think is the main issue in all this.
Have you considered murder
No but I have started discussing the option of removing him from my committee with my supervisors. However now I kind of just want to do it with him on it just to know that I can meet the challenge. However I very much regret putting him on it in the first place.

Long sad post from earlier.
Hey guys.
Just wanted to say that while things are still shitty I really appreciate the support my bore brethren have shown me. Not just now but over the years. Y'all are great. I'll keep on keeping on and see if shit pivots while I try to make the most of what I have.
Thank you.
Steve, from your posts in this thread it sounds like you had a tough year. Sorry for all of that. Just know you got some dumb dude who plays too many videogames over here always ready to listen if you need an ear to bend.Thanks breh. It's been a nightmare year. There's a bunch of stuff I didn't post about here, but things have been slightly better for me and more importantly a few very close people who have had it worse.
Take it easy, man.
So, I have type 2 diabetes and my cholesterol is through the roof. Not sure if I should drink myself to death or eat enough pork to finish the job. Maybe some combo of both? Just drink really sugary drinks with bacon chasers?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4OZkCXbbEJw

I'm just ready to give up on people. I've never been a very social person, but I've made strides to try and make friends and I've been ok at it. And they constantly disappoint me. They throw you away and in general make it seem like your friendship just is'nt worth it. I recently got into an argument(and really I did'nt even start it or play into it) and another friend called me out of the blue today to tell me he did'nt want to have anything to do with the both of us. Just shat on me for no reason, threw me away like I'm worthless. Again, what is the point of even associating with people? People are trash and only serve to eventually hurt you.It'll be ok. We all been there, bruh. :yeshrug

People are trash and only serve to eventually hurt you.rahx, people are a numbers game sadly. I know literally hundreds of people that I could be considered "friendly" with. Of those, I probably have 3-6 that I actually consider close friends (and one of those is the wife). That status just comes from years of knowing each other and being their for each other. And my life is far richer with them than without. The thing is though, it takes a good long time to get those people and in so doing you sorta learn what kinds of people to avoid and what kinds of people are secretly hidden jewels of people. Life is better with others, but you gotta be selective and you can only be selective after you've known so many that you know what people to not spend too much time on.
Housing bubble is officially back. Prices in my neighborhood are now the same prices they were when the bubble burst. Surely, this will be a healthy turn of events.

Well, my company was acquired by the largest education software company in the country, and they decided to eliminate our special ed product while keeping theirs. Several people from my office got laid off, including myself. I will be there for the next 2 months and then get a 3 month severance package so I'm not on my ass just yet, but this comes as a pretty big shock. Not the first time but it still sucks. I was making what I feel were good inroads at the company, being put in charge of a development team and all, alas... :fbm
Thanks. It's weird. I feel like this kinda stuff should hasten my "live life!" perspective I should be out dating or doing something crazy instead of drinking beer & playing videogames. But, I wanna log into FFXIV and do some mining/crafting -_- Can't tell if it's because I've got that MMO addiction going on, or if I'm still processing/depressed. Don't mean to get on the soapbox too much, but having a not-minuscule chance of maybe dying in the next few years is sorta upsetting right now.
The Democrat party did not adopt privilege, which is a word I always misspell despite my privilege ambiguity constantly making me question it.
Can someone explain to me why it's verboten to use the experience of my friends, friends who are minorities, as an example when discussing something? Yeah, I know. "Some of my best friends are black." Or some other group. But they are my friends, my coworkers, and even my family. I'm a cac.
But I'm living this shit along side them, I got first hand experience, I'm not just linking some article from Wikipedia. I know them, anything that happens to the happens to me. You guys like Taco Bell? I live 3 blocks from a Domino's that's encased in bullet-proof glass because of robberies.
It's not you guys, it's trying to argue this shit in general. I'm just so sick of people of who have never walked the walk, but they talk the talk. They have no life experience whatsoever, but they think they get to talk shit because they read some article from some website.

The wife and I have not been able to conceive in almost 8 years of marriage. We had mostly given up, made our peace with it and always figured we would adopt when the time was right. Last week she had some irregular bleeding, took a pregnancy test (3 actually) and yay she was pregnant. She goes to the doctor and they don't find anything, assume she miscarried and took some blood. She had to go back in today because her hcg levels were still higher so it indicated she was still pregnant. The embryo had implanted in a fallopian tube instead of her uterus. They had to give her a shot to terminate the pregnancy.Man, that sucks Mups. For what it's worth, I have a friend who tried for like 12 years to have kids to no avail then suddenly within 4 years she popped out 3 kids. (of course they're all heavily autistic and her life seems like a living hell having 3 severely autistic kids all under 5, but that's beside the point).
On one hand we are happy that we know conception is possible, but man... Just a rollercoaster. We almost had our baby and just yeah. Just venting here since I didn't tell anyone IRL yet and don't think I will.

Well I'm currently back down and back to researching suicide methods. There are really no super cheap and painless ways.Don't go anywhere. You're a fun guy and we need ya here. :heartbeat
You called me creepy and desperate.But here's the thing. All these problems can be fixed. I know it's easy to be like "whatever, I've been like this my whole life." but you can address these with help.
Let's be honest I'm not very fun.
And it's become clear I'm just waste.
I'm on track to being forever alone and with good reason. I'm mysgonstic, absolutely self centered, and unable to connect with people.
A friend told me this and basicly every problem I've ever had with my group is because of me. How I unable to understand them and refuse to because everything has to be my way. How I'm unable to talk about anything beyond very lame and shallow topics.
I'm really a monster of a human. You've seen it in my posts here. I'm not a fun person. I'm not a good person.im actually a shitty person who really leads a pointless life.
I'm about to fail out of college for the 2nd time because I just throw away all my advantages and potential.
My only options are a dead end job which I can't humble myself to do because I still have a fucked up view point that I'm better than that.
Or joining the Air Force which no one thinks I can do.
In the end I'm just a real failed human being and everyone knows that. I haven't killed myself before because I have a family who cares but beyond that there's just really nothing keeping me here. I don't like myself and that really will not change.
This is a gay post but I need to say something to somebody before I do this because my family will just lie and say "oh you have stuff to live for" without saying what those things are. My friends have shunned me and the few left will just repeat pointless shit.

These 12 hour work days suck cock. :maf
Spent most most of my saturday, with huge lower back pains, eventually making me vomit (a lot). What a horrible time, especially as the pain meant I couldn't just sleep it away.

Had a super panicky 2 hours at work. Got sent an email saying I had to have done like half my PhD requirements by now and that I'm behind and that I needed to fill out a form stating why im behind and ask for an extension. Turns out this shit isn't due for an entire year and this was just a 'friendly reminder' that I got PhD milestones I need to complete.I hate that; I get it too, about work: that feeling when my stomach just drops out.
I thought that was just regular work life. I think I average that about 2 times a week.That would kill me with the way my brain operates. The shorter the deadline, the harder it becomes to think of (or sometimes do) anything else.
I always briefly consider leaving my job and never coming back.
Yikes Mupepe that sounds terrible.That's how I felt. $5 is nothing. It's not even worth getting worked up over on vacation. My relaxation is worth more than that. And then being wrong on top of that. Great. It was shameful.
One thing I can't tolerate is people being dicks to workers in the service industry, especially food/restaurant. Throwing a fit over $5 (not to mention having your math be wrong) is pathetic. That driver probably barely makes any money as is.
I've got a 9AM meeting to go over a mess of technical details on my current project, followed by a bunch of finnicky editing, and I just want to fucking sleep, is that so much to fucking ask?

You're complaining about a mild inconvenience in your ability to go to sleep in your comfortable bed in your home just cause a few homeless mosquito needed to get food to survive another day. I mean, I don't know what time it is over in Japan, but think its time to check your privilege.

One of my best friends died yesterday. It wasn't unexpected because he had all kinds of problems resulting from a genetic vein malformation that paralyzed him 10 years ago, but man it still hurts. At least he isn't in pain anymore.

Had an eye appointment earlier today. I was in the waiting room with two other people: a cute college aged girl and a disheveled neckbeard. I'm pretty sure he was a wizard. The young chick was reading something on her kindle...
Wizard: Hi, I'm Will. What are you reading?
Girl: Oh hi. Harry Potter & The Cursed Child
Wizard: Oh, I heard it was shite [not shit, he literally said "shite"]
Girl: *nervous giggle* I kinda like it. But not as much as the other books
Wizard: Yea. Have you read Game Of Thrones?
Girl: No but my brother watches the show. I haven't seen it
Wizard: Have you read The Hunger Games?
Girl: I saw the movies but haven't read the books
Wizard: Cool. Yea. Have you read Outlander?
Girl: I don't know what that is *laughs*
I shit you not, he asked her about 4-5 more books before she was called into the back for her appointment. At that point he looked at me and said "I tried." I was pulling a MAF at the time, ie pretending to do shit on my phone, but I looked up and

Anxiety is killing me right now. Just chickened out of going to a meeting I should be going to. Fuck.
Dude that's a struggle? Over half my meetings I show up and say, "OK, what's this meeting about?"
Little update for me since I'm drunk now.
Nothing much has changed in my life. Nothing has really improved.
I had a long and hard conversation with my mother. Basically my mother thinks I'm going to end up killing myself. I also at this point think it's inevitable. I kind of think suicide is a forgone conclusion, it's kind of just a matter of when. It's just next time I probably won't be so public about it.
I stopped going to my therapist, I just felt like I wasn't getting anything out of it and I was wasting my money. I would talk, I guess she would listen. Is that all they do? I guess, I don't know what I wanted. It's like I wanted Prof X to read my mind and give me a run down on what my psychological problems were and what to do. Instead, because of the way I handle people I'm not super comfortable with I feel like I put my best fake genuine mask up. Telling people what they want to hear, but never telling them the super truth. I'm really good at that, so good I don't know how to not do it. Point being I felt like I could never say excactly what would help and I felt like I got nothing out of it.
At this point I don't know I don't know when I'm going to do it, but I know at some point I'm going to do it. It was nice to feel the support of everyone, but in the end it just made me feel guilty. Did I do it for attention? No, but sometimes I feel like I did. I know some feel like I did. In the end I see how everyone has connections. Their own personal family, sexual and romantic partners, or whatever. People outside of thier mother who validate them. I don't and I don't see me ever achieving that because I myself dont like me. A real chicken and egg syndrome honestly.
In my arguments with my mother it comes down to, killing yourself will ruin people who love you. Yes, I know it will forever effect people especially my mother. But I feel thats a guilt trip. I'm not living for myself then, just so I don't hurt others. It sound bad when you type it out, but it's the truth. I love my nieces, but my life isn't about them.

What's worse are the meetings that have no real purpose or direction. So recently I've been rejecting those invitations, which causes some of them to get flustered.
I feel that these days most of the meetings I attend are "I'm too scared to make a decision so I need a dozen people on the call so that way if my decision is a bad one, the blame can be shared."
Fuck that, grow some balls and take a chance.
Oh I was once like that. But I've accepted it's just never gong to stop. So I just take my laptop and I'll work on the tedious stuff or surf during the meetings and all that. If someone asks me a question I tune back in, ask them to please repeat the question, give them an answer then check back out.Dude that's a struggle?

I completely borked an interview at a major game developer that I was trying to get into for literally over a decade. :-\
Shit, sorry to hear that.
What went wrong?
Was if just nervous jitters or did something happen that made you look incompetent? A good interviewer should be able to look past jitters.
Every failed interview is a good learning experience.
Shit, sorry to hear that.
What went wrong?Was if just nervous jitters or did something happen that made you look incompetent? A good interviewer should be able to look past jitters.
Part of it was definitely nervousness, part of it was giving out some (imo) bad sounding answers. It was frustrating because there were questions that were typical of an interview (i.e. "Why do you feel you're a good fit for this position?"), and it's stuff I should have been totally prepared for, but I just found myself struggling to come up with words, and then when I did, I was kicking myself cause my answers sounded awful. Granted, it wasn't all my answers, but the ones I answered badly were probably the ones that were the most important.
Ironically, I think this all happened because I was (bizarrely enough) overconfident prior to the interview. There's a small chance that this may still work out, but I'm not that hopeful. :'(
He's not :( Although he seems 100% okay the doctor said he only has a few more days. I really just can't process this at all right now.

As Valkyrie said, no interview is a waste. If you can, do some practice interviews before your next real one. They can really help with visualization, as well as get some good feedback if your interview partner is on-point.
Man, I'm sick of applying for jobs to get out of my situation. I just want to lay down and sleep. :'(
My mother has talked about sending time to Japan for a trip. Not moving there but still something.
My grandmother has connections in Taiwan and has talked about sending me there to live for a bit. It could be neat and would force me to well do something.
In the mean time on off days I've gotten back into doing plumbing with my high school friend's dad. Keeps me occupied and doing something.
I've been in a state of constantly being pissed too for 4 months. Shit sucks, especially cause I know its no ones fault.
That's awful, really sorry to hear that. Are you able to meet him asap?
Work stress is through the roof which is starting to lead to a mental breakdown for me. Even started having some suicidal thoughts, which is not normal for me. I went to the doc who prescribed me some prozac and told me to calm down. Boss saw me and said "You need to take a few days to recharge" so I'm taking Monday/Tuesday next week off, but honestly, I'm not so sure how well this will go for me. I'm constantly in a state of dread/anxiety. Thankfully my wife's been very supportive, I helped her through her post partum depression so in a sense its good in that she knows what I did that worked.Your wife is awesome and you will be fine, I'm sure of it. Going to the doctor is pretty tough for some people, and it helps when others mention they went, to show people it's not as scary as it might seem. Take care of yourself though, and call your doctor if you get worse. At least you've got some time off to relax, that should help you a lot.
Dunno what to tell ya, dementia sounds tough to deal with for everyone involved. But you should definitely mention the pill thing to those who take care of her/spend the most time with her.That's awful, really sorry to hear that. Are you able to meet him asap?
No he's half way across the country. He was 96 and had a low quality of life and I've been expecting for years and I'm OK with it. I'm upset for my mom and grandma though. This is going to be really hard for them.
It's almost impressive how little attractive someone becomes when you stop liking them. He keeps walking around naked... get that flaccid shit out of my face.

I had to put down my dog today. His kidneys were failing due to diabetes. The vet said he lasted any longer than he had any right to, so he was a fighter. He might have got on my nerves, but I still loved the little guy and will miss him dearly (http://i.imgur.com/a1E5ATj.jpg).:tocry

Oh fuck, you just reminded me that I'm gonna be treated again like the family's Geek Squad Hotline when I move back to my hometown.Did you actually dodge this bullet just by being in th' Nihonz? I still get long-ass Skype calls where I'm asked to troubleshoot a computer that I can't even see. It's remarkable. If it worked for you, please be teaching me some of that scandinavian standoffishness so I can implement those protocols.
And something that has been weighing on me for a long time. My grandpa had dementia - which is why he had low quality of life and my grandma was recently diagnosed with the same thing. And multiple times when I have talked to her she has said that she'd rather take a bottle of pills than get to where he was - and I think she's serious - not like it will be soon but I think she would do that rather than go to a care home if it comes to that - and I don't know how to talk to her or the rest of the family about it.There are a number of studies on ultrasound being used to treat Alzheimers. Apparently it can obliterate the plaque buildup on synapses, not only improving new memory retention, but restoring memories which had previously thought lost.

If it worked for you teaching me some of that scandinavian standoffishness so I can implement those protocols.Oh no, I had those Skype conversations a lot the first years after I moved, but the trick is to pretend you don't have time to Skype long. I guess having a baby helped, because they realized I wasn't able to do 1 hour long Skype conversations anymore. Sometimes I'd just say "That sounds like a problem I won't be able to fix from here.. you should get someone local to look at it." I know my dad knows I'm full of shit when I'm saying it though (he thinks I'm a computer wizard since I can always fix his problems (because they're so minor)). :lol

Now they mostly wait until I'm there in person to ask. It seems like they've finally started feeling bad for asking me. Sometimes they admit they've had the problem for months but "didn't wanna bother me" about it. For instance my sister upgraded their internet to fiber, and she lived 3-4 months bottlenecked because she was waiting for me to get there so I could install their new router/equipment. :lol
and my diet has also taken a nosedive, eating hamburgers and candy everyday, usually i got away with it without serious health consequences but recently i started getting blood in my stoolHemorrhoids aren't fatal, bratan.
im dying brehs :goty
:beli editedYou really shouldn't think of it that way. Just be glad you got it sorted out, and look forward instead of behind you!
anyways maybe one reason why things arent going so well is because ive decided to try taking anti-depressants
ive never tried them because ive felt they "didn't work" but now i feel miserable that ive never tried them before... what if they do work? i will have basically wasted my life
so i've been dealing with depression basically my entire life the last few weeks have been pretty bad
the depression is worse than usual but my memory also seems to be failing me which is the scary part because this hasn't happened in the past
my recent trips to the supermarket trying to do shopping without a list usually works out okay but lately i've felt like i had fucking alzheimer wandering around in the aisles feeling like i don't know anything
feels bad man

shitty blood is where i draw the line so i'll try to eat healthier but when you're really depressed it's hard as hell to care about your own wellbeing somehow
quitting candy is also hard because sugar highs are the only way for me to feel anything

Chrono, I asked my mom to tell me and my brother what her password is in order to avoid such situations. It's the only one she uses for everything and there's always at least one person available to help so it simplifies "remote tech support".Thanks, Brawndo! I actually know her password because I set it up for her, and left it for her in an obvious place, visible when she sits at the computer. I do not know why she thought she didn't know the password. She has it, right there. She's not just uninterested in knowing the details, she's mildly technophobic.
Sorry zomgee, were you close?
Multivitamins (or anything really) high in calcium can mess with iron absorption. So can lots of caffeine rich drinks like coffee and tea so keep that in mind.
Become a vampire and drink the blood from someone with a lot of iron in their blood. Voila. Chicks also seem to dig vampires.
Most people are low on iron, usually weight doesn't matter. But it doesn't sound like you're eating enough, your body probably needs more food than you're giving it. Maybe try some iron supplements if you don't have a big enough appetite.

I have been procrastinating for 3 solid hours for something that has a hard deadline for tomorrow first thing at work.
So now I have about 8 hours left to do 3 hours of work and sleep. Ugh, so dumb.
I've been tipping my standard 20-30% in Montreal but apparently the standard here is more like 10-15% since their wages aren't deliberately undercut like in America. :/
Well better than undertipping I guess lol.

I've come /)(\ close to reaching a breaking point at work. At this point I fantasize about getting fired. I would quit but I like seeing the insanity continue to expand at exponential levels on some level. I'm working on some escape parachutes. Life is no longer remotely enjoyable. Just needed to vent.I love this.

My triumph thread post jinxed my morning, because my daughter tripped in her own shoes outside and smashed her face on the ground so her teeth went through her lips. It hurt my heart so fucking bad, especially because stuff like that bleeds a lot (but it usually looks worse than it is) and also she freaked out when she saw the blood. She's fine now though.. it happened outside the medical clinic on our way to a checkup, so we got it looked at almost right away. Well, anyway her dad was there too walking in front of us and he immediately turned around and said "Omg what did you do?!" to me, putting the blame on me, and actually got mad at me. what the fuck. If I wasn't caught up grabbing her to rush inside I would have ripped his head off for being such a destructive pos.Aw, poor kid. Should heal pretty fast though.

Sorry to hear about your daughter's fall; sounds like she'll be fine, right? Young kids heal up super fast.Yeah, lips heal very fast too, she's completely fine now!
Also, jesus, your ex sounds absolutely horrible. Glad you're getting out.

Also I really don't want to sound like a broken record when complaining about him.. but the fact is I still live here and sometimes have to deal with some shit I'm better off venting about when it makes me feel bad. I know bottling stuff up is really bad so I try to just get it out of the way when I can. But anyway the future is looking bright, and I'm looking forward to whatever it brings. 8)

lmao. pls
Please stop trying to divide libido into gender. Women are horny monsters too and often struggle with the same issues males do, like excessive masturbation and sex deprivation. It's just that a lot of women take birth control which tends to lower their sex drive a lot (even then it doesn't always happen). Naturally, humans are all monsters. Also I think women might seem less horny to some because they're more okay with skipping sex a lot of the time.:rejoice female sex drive :rejoice"Female sex drive"

What
Well not to be a mega dick (haha) himu baby but that can be the difference between identifying as a woman and being a woman by birth.
You are artificially surpressing your one drive now with hormones but you dont't replace it with a females drive to be a mother because you simply dont have ovaries.

The human brain is complex and science doesn't fully understand it yet, which is why all these studies and articles are being made in the first place. Replacing Testosterone with Estrogen and replacing Estrogen with Testosterone are definitely helping discover new things about the human brain though, that's for sure. Just keep in mind each and every brain is different and hormones are going to affect people differently. Whether it's a lack of Testosterone that causes some men to have a low sex drive or some other mental deficiency is yet to be truly known. The same goes with women who have high sex drives. Do they have an increase in Testosterone or is it some other factor? I'm sure there's studies out there that are trying to figure these questions out.

I hate both of you. Himu for the 5 articles that were probably just Googled like "How Hormones Affect Transgender Sexual Libidos" and you, Lager, for the five-second Googling of two passages from the bible and then the blatantly obvious bait trolling that Himu can't stop responding to.
I admit, I did laugh at "breaking one of the ten commandments" and "talk about getting warmer" though. Bastard.
I was on the verge of going outside in my underwear and chucking a cinder block through the wind shield of a car some jack ass was revving around 2 am for about 10 or 15 minutes straight. :maf
And now I can't fall asleep. Thanks shit for brains. Your mother should've swallowed you.

Lol timeshares are the worst
Sure Im the bad guy after saying one thing then being called a cunt :lol
Never said anything bad about your transitioning either but whatevs.

Lager, I'm going to wade in here and be popular with NO-ONE, because I'm well on my way to being the embarrassingly out-of-touch grandpa who says politically insensitive shit at the restaurant when he's out with his family, because he hasn't managed to keep up with trending acceptable social behavior. My grandparents talked about how the latinos were all criminals. In a normal speaking voice. AT A MEXICAN RESTAURANT. Jesus. I'm seriously worried I'll be that same guy in 20 years, saying "There was a time when people couldn't marry their chatbot moe hug-pillows," and people will give me the side-eye.
Here's the deal: We're all free to say whatever we want here, and suffer the repercussions from it. Not banning, but being ostracized and called out are part of that. Your comments involved birth sex and gender, and as a cis white male, they come off as insensitive and socially inappropriate in this board's culture. You have an opinion, I suspect it's not the result of experience or even a good amount of research. QoI has been living it, and I can't imagine it has been easy.
However, Queen has a long history of impassioned, strongly held, sometimes ill-informed, and ultimately brief opinions. If you're doubting the longevity of her vehemence, generally I'd have your back. Initially I thought her transitioning was a phase. I thought she'd change her mind. She didn't, and she's clearly suffering when thwarted from sticking with her transition program.
Let me put it another way: When a friend of mine got his wife pregnant, he said, "Hey, now I'm a Dad, too!" I felt like a dick, but I told him, "Not yet, you're not. You've got a few months ahead of you of peace and quiet. When your kid is born, you'll be a dad, don't rush things."
The friend was seriously pissed off that I was diminishing his role or stature or whatever. Then his kid was born, and he came back and said, "You were right. I was really angry at the time, but you were really fucking right." As a dad, I'm sure you also understand this example.
Queen is going through shit most of us can't fully grasp. Assuming that we know what it's like is a mistake.
Let's take a step back, fuck breath.
I've had a really rough year emotionally and mentally. Been having constant suicidal thoughts, thinking sad or terrible shit constantly. Been crying every other day just about. Weed and other drugs help a lot less than they used too.
Been depending on my best friend, tell her how I'm feeling constantly. I love her so much, that dependency makes me feel guilty and selfish as fuck. Feel like if I don't have her in my life, I'd kill myself.

lot of these people seem to be losers irl, maybe something to think about

Fair enough. I don't know what Himu is going through. I don't doubt the transition is just another phase, it seems legit and long term of course and I never made fun of it. In fact i hope it all works out perfectly as I have said on numerous occasions.
I don't assume I know how Himu feels though, I just state my opinion, and I didn't know that I was so privileged I am not entitled to state it without being attacked, even if the opinion may seem provocative, but seen in a normal light outside of the microcosm of the bore saying that being woman by birth or by choice is a huge fucking difference is not controversial AT ALL.
TBF this is always the case on the Bore for me so I'm used to it after almost a decade now ( I guess its almost a self fulfilling prophecy now? since nothing I say ever changes it) . First I was considered a racist, then a pedo supporter and now apparently the new thing is cis privileged white male gamergater (sony fanboy ofc as well and prob gay basher).

I think I’m dying. Beenn having chest pains the past week. I don’t think it’s heartburn. Tonight a new wrinkle was added and I’m likenot getting enough air in each breath, forcing me to manually breathe and I can’t fall asleep like like. Going to the doctor if tomorrow night is as bad as this.
Tomorrow I need a liver biopsy... and well, that scared me like crazy as well. I never had anything done like that. :fbm
Twitter extended the character limit to 280 :snoopWhy the fuck
The work situation has been really weighing on me today. Had to say goodbye to two employees that have been with us for about a year. Had to mentally say good bye to two others who won't know they got laid off till tomorrow when the HR director calls them. Spent a lot of time talking to other guys who were in the trenches with me since the beginning that are feeling that our dream is about to come to an end.
Was listening to some songs on my commute back home and some emotional cord got pulled in me and I a few tears came out of my eyes. It's probably been years since I've cried, since emotional numbness is my usual state. Fuck.
Yeah it's a bit sad when a good workplace unravels like that. AFAIK it's fairly rare the mood ever get fixed once it's broken.

Thanks breh.
They let me out until sometime next week. When they are done looking at the liver biopsy they want to me to go to some further away hospital with liver specialists. Still kind of scared shitless, but at least the biopsy itself wasn't that bad. This itching really is though. Also got new meds for that, so hopefully it should temp fix that...
D deficiency.
Yeah they did. Although they also thought it was unlikely since I had no pains. Got ultra sound, CT scan, Biopsy and about 100 fucking blood tests (alright might be closer to 50, but they are draining me).
Being home feels good though. Fucking hate staying at hospitals.

My two cents: The fact that you swing from depressive to manic that suddenly due to hormones makes me think that you shouldn't have a lethal weapon in your possession.
But that's just me.spoiler (click to show/hide)this is coming from someone that owns a gun locked in a case with a combination lock btw[close]

You underestimate the role hormones play in mental health.
https://www.holtorfmed.com/hormones-mental-health/
He has a point even if it down plays what hormones can do. If you don't have the finances to have a stable supply to hormones, then you won't have a stable mental state and you shouldn't have a gun.
With all due respect, hormones don't act within hours. Food for thought.

Bro, jury duty is easy. You have to be a moron or someone with an agenda to becomes juror. They're going to sit you in a room. You're going to be asked questions. It's gonna be shit like,"have you ever been in a motor accident" to see if there's a pertinent bias to the case. Smart people will wise up and know ASAP that they're trying to find a relevant bias to the case so you're not a biased juror. Dumb people won't know what's going on and not raise their hand even though they just told you they REALLY need to leave and go to work and end up on a jury questioning panel because they were too stupid. Basically, it's easy to get out and leave and you'll know it when you see it.

Yeah, we have these new consultants, and no offense Vom, but they are a couple of French assholes! It's pretty much a hostile takeover, as the inventors who hired me and my boss pulled out and my boss put in his resignation and I'm stuck with these guys. They're making all sorts of cuts and changes, and the business is probably not going to make it more than a few months, they'll probably dissolve it and eat the losses. Even though they're assuring everyone that they want it to thrive ::)

Monday, end of the month.I tried sales for a brief stint and hated it. I hated that there was very little I could do to affect my own outcome. A client moves their budget to start next quarter? Nothing I can do about that. Client has an emergency and moves budget from one department to another? Nothing you can do there. So many things that are beyond your control. Nope. That is not my space. I feel ya man.
All my prospected deals moved to another month, nothing is working currently, very depressing day. How long will I keep this up? How long till I am let go?
Seriously: Sales, never again.

It's like there's some internal switch that makes you worry more about dying as you age. It's very frustrating.
And yeah, even though some things got better with age, there is a lot of new stuff that worries me, now that I'm in my 30s, like responsibilities and particularly the fear of becoming feeble and lonely and not being able to care of myself when I'll grow old. But I guess that's what it means to be an adult...This is my nightmare. We better have robot nurses by then, because I'm offing myself otherwise.

It's a combination of getting older AND having a lifestyle worth protecting. Trust me, there's plenty of poor people in their 30's and 40's who don't give a fuck about safety (or health).
Lot of personal insecurities diminish with time when you get bigger worries as to what others think, you start to worry about how to take care of your family, raising kids.
Been told friday that I basically have till xmas to save my ass at work, now this wa never directly said, but it i what it comes down to
Leader drafted a plan for me and he is sure I will rock it
tomorrow though ill kick off the plan by calling in sick with the flu which will no doubt be interpretted as a lack of faith in said plan from my side, but what can you do when you are sick
anyhoo if I get sacked by xmas i will still get 3 months severance pay

Getting audited next week. Supposed to last three days. I spent the last few days combing through records and the previous manager (who retired and does not respond to her e-mails) made some inexplicable decisions on nothing that I can change now since they were for requirements in previous years. So if an auditor asks me about those things, my answer is really nothing more than "i dunno lol"

I hate how as I get older and older I get more afraid of change of safety. It's like the exact reason why studies show people become more conservative as they age (I'm still liberal as fuck tho). Like when I was in my 20s I'd travel all around on my own, jump on planes, find scrappy motels and have adventures and not give a fuck.
But now like, booking a solo trip to somewhere I've never been, takes like a huge jump of courage and even after I have everything booked and I should be happy that I'm going to be going on a vacation and going to somewhere new, instead I just feel a shitton of anxiety about leaving my comfort zone and I hate that. When I'm in a relationship I feel fine and excited booking stuff for two, but it's like I get anxiety about solo traveling because oh no it's leaving my safe zone and there's a minor chance something bad could happen outside of my regular routine where I have 99% control of what is going on. ::)

Hospitals around here notoriously don't pay shit for their IT. At one point my boss responded to an ad from a big hospital for an Exchange admin with cert. required. After the interview, he asked about salary and they said starting pay was $30K a year. He said thank you for wasting his time and left.

I think the company is going under. I guess I'm a big part in potentially saving it, but I'm too tired.I've been there, almost in exactly the same place. And honestly, you gotta realize that people have their limits. Like I tried to explain to one of the people I mentor, if you march your army double time for 40 miles to reach the battlefield then expect them to face the enemy, you need to face the fact you're very likely going to lose. Do what you can, but no one saves a company on their own.
I'm so tired and worried and powerless. Ugh I hate myself.
Cons of going to an interview? Cons of taking another job, sure... but looking at options?

@bebpo: start persuing your dreams before you have a family, it will be a lot harder to change then bro. You are still single, this is the time imho.

I've only been paid 1.5 paychecks at my fancy new job that puts me at about market rate (and allows me to stay in Boston, as I had considered a move to the much cheaper Providence), and because of this I've been scrambling to put together the money for my apartment's initial payment. This is made up of first month's, the same amount for the realtor, and half that for a security deposit. The apartment was under some kind of "show and pay" promo or some shit (which I'm not 100% sure wasn't totally made up on the spot by the landlord/realtor) which "waved" the last month and half the security deposit.God, man, that's the realest stress. I feel for you. Been there, done that. Best of luck to you, really. You should consider going to a bank, since you have provable income (and a great job).
Essentially, this initial payment is only 2.5x the monthly rent, instead of 4x. So that's nice. And I paid 1/3 last Friday.
But yeah, what's not nice is not having enough to pay the other 2/3. I've drafted a plan to basically beg my closest friends (and ex-BF) for short-term loans. I can easily pay it all back before the month ends, but I basically have just three days to raise all this money.
:-\

If you want even more ass destruction try the Bacon King at BK. I tend to stay away from (non Taco Bell) fast food, but whenever I see an ad for a brand new burger I automatically want to try it. It's...not bad. The Baconator is too meaty for me, too much beef which makes it dry. Whereas the Bacon King has a sauce that makes it juicer.
Ask about their short term loan options. The term should then be less than 12 months. Make sure there is no early payment penalty and just pay it off sooner. They will likely ask what the purpose of the loan is and you can tell them you're moving to a new place and you need money to cover some of the moving expenses.I've only been paid 1.5 paychecks at my fancy new job that puts me at about market rate (and allows me to stay in Boston, as I had considered a move to the much cheaper Providence), and because of this I've been scrambling to put together the money for my apartment's initial payment.

Every once in a while I still wake up in the middle of the night and smell the burning plastic in my car.PTSD? :(
You shouldn't compare your own experiences with others in a way where you think yours "weren't as bad as theirs". Just because you experienced something you think is "less bad", doesn't mean it can't be traumatizing for you. Not saying you have it, but if you do or don't, it is in no way disrespectful to anyone. This is kinda weird, but I used to sleep sitting up when old things got to my head. For some reason it really worked. Hopefully yours isn't frequent though.PTSD? :(I don't think it's quite as bad as that. That would be disrespectful to the people who actually have it. I just get upsetting memories on random, infrequent nights.

My bad, been meaning to update this. Met with a neurosurgeon who wasn't too concerned by it.
It's really small and located in my pons, so not worth operating on in his opinion. Surgery would likely do more harm.
Happy to hear that it turned out (mostly?) fine. Must've been stressful for you, but also relieving when you were told it wasn't such a big deal. Do you have to follow up on it? Also, if you don't mind answering, how did you end up taking that MRI in the first place?

As someone who has had both grandpa's die last year within 3 days of each other I recommend you go see her one last time.
Last time I saw both of them was weeks before they passed and they were both in hospital and one was really far gone but we looked each other in the eye and I hope recognized me, just sat there with him for a while and gave him a few kisses and squeezed his hand. The other one was a bit better and got to see his granddaughter one last time and I know his last days he was very happy about this.

My grandmother isn't doing very well and we were told she'll probably pass away in the next few days. Knew this was coming because she has been getting progressively worse over the past six months or so. The last time I saw her was at her 94th birthday party last summer. She was pretty coherent and since then has gotten pretty bad dementia and other problems. Haven't seen her since because I don't want to remember her that way. Just hope she goes peacefully. :(

Aren;t japanese men basically forced to work until age 80? On like 4 jobs?
Oh boy... I thought I was doing better in December but it's not going well at all right now. I barely have energy left for cooking and cleaning and shit. :fbm I better change shit up fast or else things will get worse I feel. Hopefully that will happen sooner rather than later.
In addition to being turned down at résumé review for being too old, I just pulled an errant chest hair which seemed to be getting out of control, and it was as long as a Star Wars action figure. Many of its former neighbors are white hairs. I am definitely older than I feel, which I guess is a good thing. We hope to see so much proof though.

Simultaneously relieved I got a jerb and infuriated I took a 50% pay cut to a miserable $7.30 an hour. Lowest point in my life but you have to do what you have to do.
My Aunt died two weeks ago. My wife's uncle died last night. :goty
While not amazingly awful or something I wont get over, today I had a pretty bad experience with someone I considered a brother. And I just want to type it out so it's out there. And I find sharing my problems makes me feel better about them.
Today amongst a group of friends and acquaintances someone I consider pretty much my best friend called me a loser in a very malicious way. I'm not even quite sure what it was over. It was actually quite dumb. I'm embarrassed to even reval what began this argument honestly. It was about Player Unknown sucked because of it's performance on his computer to which I then replied that my computer ran it great. Then began his tantrum over how I bought it with my tax return and not money I earned which then transition how I'm a loser because I haven't finished school, haven't done this, don't have the responsibilities like he does, is able to live fancy free.
It really hurt because well I really respect this person. But this is how they seem to view me.
A little backstory about my friend. He had to join the Air Force because his parents forced him to. He dosen't like it. And honestly I feel I understand why he had this outburst. I think he dislikes his life honestly. He makes comments about how he dosen't have a social life. On the phone you hear nothing but his announces with his girl friend while he tries to play video games. This is'nt the first outrage and they usually happen when other people are around. He'd never admit it, but I think he's really insecure.
But if you know my history, a route cause of my depression was because of how behind in life I feel I am. This is something I've talked to with my friend many times about and usually the response from him was that everything is ok.
But then to have this rant thrown at me and then followed up with a an apology, but still saying "I still think everything I said is true". well....that really hurt and I kind of don't want to talk with this person for a long time.
I don't know I've been feeling better about life and trying to be more social and outgoing, but still sucks to have these things come up every so often.
Well no....because it actually had nothing to do with the game. That was just the starting point. It wasn't even an argument. The person just snapped at me and then decided to dig into me.While not amazingly awful or something I wont get over, today I had a pretty bad experience with someone I considered a brother.

It's a dumb argument over a dumb vidya. No reason to "don't want to talk with this person for a long time" you muppet.
I guess, but I usually don't tell people I consider friends they are peices of shit and that they are losers in life randomly when there is no provocation. Even when I'm a little ticked off.

don't die on me, bb. go to doctor, pls :-\
I believe TVC is between jobs and I'd guess that puts his insurance situation up in the air. Might be worth hitting up a free clinic if there are any available before you end up in the ER though, or god forbid an Ambulance ride to the tune of four figures
If anything, CBD made things worse. Going on day 3of no sleep.That's odd. What ratio are you using?
Got a call from the doctor's office today that they found nodules on my thyroid and that they would potentially have to monitor these nodules every couple of months. :-\
This would explain why I feel tired/feel like shit most days.
I have another appointment with my doctor this April so I'll find out more then.
If anything, this is a wake up call for me to focus on stuff that actually matters to me and not waste time on nonsense/distractions.

I had two phone appointments with doctors and they seem to think it’s all mental. I’m not sure I buy that. I’m seeing my doctor tomorrow and I guess he’ll run some tests.

That Xanax really worked. I conked the fuck out last night and had a wonderful dream. Cindi and I were selling children out of an elementary school nurses’s office, just like in the old days.
Seems like most of my other symptoms are lessened or gone, too. I feel fucking Xanax zombie tired though.

They survived but I'm not sure I will.

there were so many moments during my youth where I could have and should have gotten a DUI but somehow I skated by.I mean I can't tell you how many times I should have gotten one, too, barreling down Sacramento streets after 3 tall beers. I used to drive to the grocery store drunk. They only caught me after I finally totalled my car!

Slow down there, John Wayne.
My grandma fell in her living room and broke her hand and her hip, so she was taken to the hospital for surgery. I haven’t been there since she’s not allowed visitors yet, but really hoping to go tomorrow or whenever they will let us.She surprised us all by walking the week after her surgery. She seemed well awake, and to recover really fast. But ever since she got home she’s been showing clear signs of developing dementia.. her short term memory is sometimes worrying. She’ll forget things she shouldn’t, like how she called my mom twice within a couple of hours of each time to ask her for the same favor. She forgot she had called me on my birthday (3 times) the day after when I was visiting her. We haven’t said anything directly to her because I once saw how confused she was when I corrected her with something she had forgotten the same day it happened. It was heartbreaking. She forgot who did what, and that it was done. She often calls me by my mom’s name now (I know mixing names happens, but she doesn’t even correct herself anymore), and she’ll forget which one of us did certain things. She often asks us both the same favor. I try to just go along with most so she won’t feel bad about it, but it’s so heartbreaking to watch.. I’ve still got all 4 of my grandparents alive. I feel so incredibly grateful for it, but at the same time now I don’t know what it’s like to lose someone close. And this was not what I was expecting at all, I never thought my own grandma would become dement. I hope it’s a slow process... because even though she walks (often with a walker now) after surgery, she’s really frail and deteriorating. At least they live right up the street from me so I go there several times a week to check on them and to hang out.
I feel so bad for her because she was still recovering from a shoulder surgery, which was already making her unable to do a lot of things. She’s a skinny old lady, but I’m still surprised by how little it takes for old people to break their bones. :(
Dementia is so rough. I'm sorry Val.Yeah I watched my great grandmother go through this. My grandfather (her son in law) used to take care of her and when he died she deteriorated rapidly. She used to ask when he was coming home and in the beginning my mom would explain that he had died but it became too painful for her she just started to tell her he was running late and would be home soon. The first time we knew something was wrong, my brother, my sister and I were home alone with her. We went into the kitchen and she started screaming and throwing things at us. We locked ourselves in a room and called my uncle. She didn't know who we were and thought we were there to rob her.
My wife used to work in a group home for dementia patients.
There was one woman who kept on forgetting that her husband had died, so she'd wake up in a panic that they were gone and she'd have to be explained that her husband had died years ago. It was heartbreaking every time that happened. :'(
We went into the kitchen and she started screaming and throwing things at us. We locked ourselves in a room and called my uncle. She didn't know who we were and thought we were there to rob her.Oh my god, that sounds horrible. I read that people with dementia will often get aggressive because they think people are lying to them, because they don't believe them.
Sorry things are tough, Bz. Hope things pick up soon :(
Sounds like they are walking all over you.
Thinking of renting a car and just driving away and trying to disappear.What's the job?
I really don’t want the job I start tomorrow. I hate what I do and it’s a waste of my life.
Don’t know where I’d go, but I can’t live like that anymore. I can’t spend that much time doing something I really don’t want to do
Come to Houston. I’ll give you food and shelter to be one of my fuck holes. You’ll be free for about 21/22 hours a day to do as you please.

21 out of 22 hours a day? Why are the days so short in Texas? Is it because you're closer to the equator and moving faster?you're taking the slash too literally. It was 21 or 22 hours of the day.
I don't want sloppy seconds. I don't step on someone else's slippery deck.Come to Houston. I’ll give you food and shelter to be one of my fuck holes. You’ll be free for about 21/22 hours a day to do as you please.
Eh, maybe. My first location is kinda already picked, but you could maybe be two. Need to look at a map.
I've been especially down lately and I keep feeling myself reach for my old coping mechanism. I'm not about to fuck up my probation, but it's really, really hard. 329 days sober.
Refusal to try. 3 hours is more than enough time but I have a shy bladder.

I'm crying right now. I had to walk out and say "please mark me down as refusal to try". I'm sitting here waiting for my Uber so I can get to work, which I'm late for, and I get a call that says my measely 8ml was enough. So I'm good. Maybe she's diluting it out of pity, I don't know. But I was just filled with so much anguish after that and that's why I'm crying. I didn't want to have to go back to the courts and pay for more expensive plane tickets. I don't want to go to jail. And my insane fucking dad is back home and thinks he can just resume his relationship with me after up and leaving and getting a girlfriend six months ago. And I was up till 1 last night pushing carts at federal minimum wage because I fucked up my last good job grifting from my boss and going to work drunk. Fuck my life. Fuck my shitty fucking life. I just want things to be different and I'm trying but life is so god-damned hard.Everything is going to be okay, breh. :)
Its really sweet of her, why did you put this in the struggle thread?

This thing is apparently really popular and becoming somewhat of a problem at my old high school. Kids e-huffing in bathroom stalls, empty cartridges littering the campus. It's so discreet, I'd be using one too if it existed back then.
I don't even smoke, this thing is just fun to use and a less fabulous way for oral fixations to manifest. How long until nicotine dependency takes hold and further erodes my sense of free will?

I no longer have health insurance because the job offered that so I had to drop Obamacare for it. I don’t know what to do.
Rahx you have massive self-esteem issues. Putting yourself out there might seem like the solution to you but to me it seems like running away from your problems. You need to take that shit head on. Either talk to a shrink or get a book about how to deal with low self-esteem. Working on your self-esteem takes effort so if you're also depressed you're fucked. If you're not depressed, good, get on that shit.I agree with you somewhat. I have some really strange self esteem issues that I don't quite understand. It's not a simple sure lacking confidence. I disagree with your assessment that I was running away. I thought putting myself out there and trying to live my life was attacking it head on.
And stop thinking getting action will solve all your problems. If you ever do find someone, you might be better off but you'll also just keep on struggling, albeit in a different way.
Adderall.
Thanks, yeah I hope they figure out what's going on with you as well.
I saw a different doc for a 2nd opinion and they seemed to get what was going on much better. Said I had a viral bronchitis with reactive airway disease, basically saying the bronchitis is giving me temporary asthma. So they basically prescribed an inhaler, told me to stick with otc and set my humidifiers to high and keep resting in warm and wet rooms until the virus works its way out of my system. Will see if this works. They put me on a vape-style breathing machine for about 10 mins that seemed to help.

get a rec to see a pulmonologist from your gp if you don't improve but sounds like you found someone to help. some docs are just better and more familiar with different diseases than others.
the machine was a nebulizer fyi
My father drained his retirement account last year and blew all the money on debt, so my brother didn't qualify for any government loans. It has to be all private this year.
Did you file your return? If so it'll have to be amended. (Which is no big deal, happens all the time.)I’m in Norway. Called them and they told me to login and just edit it, then wait for a new updated letter. And if it doesn’t come before the first bill is due I gotta call them again. I should be all good. Surprised they allowed such a huge number without checking it first, but I guess they wouldn’t bother. Just hope they won’t make it a problem for me.
e: Unless this isn't a U.S. tax return? Unclear to me, so my bad if it's not.
Anyway, sorry to hear--taxes are stressful.

Goddamned owners raised my rent AGAIN this year. They've been doing this shit every year for the past 3 years at least. :-\Huh, don't you have a set rent written down on your lease? That should protect you from that shit, unless it's specifically says they're allowed to raise it at any time they'd like.

Ask for a copy of your lease. But you're probably on month to month if you haven't had to sign a new one each year or something. So that means that yes, they can basically raise it whenever they want barring any local/state laws that limit it outside of the terms of the contract. Sign a long term lease and lock yourself in for a while.

Work out a payment plan. Isn’t the interest on owed taxes ridiculously cheap? Let’s run a PV calculation on lump sum vs payments to see what’s better for you.Yeah, I did that one year when I joined. It wasn't bad at all.
it's like atra won a bunch of money off scratchers and then spent all the winnings on more scratchers. breh, i think you have a gambling problem :dogeSpeaking of which, I bought two lottery tickets just now.
You can do a lot better than 30k a year, Atra.

You have to be part developer, part animator, part illustrator, etc. Also, you’re competing against savant Asian 16 y/o’s from 3rd world countries that have been designing since they were 4 and will work harder and for much less than most westerners.
I might as well just suck start my glock and be done with everything at this point.

This has to do with advanced,premium tax credit towards health insurance. I am out today I will have this notice,logged and pull the file to see where the issue may be. It appears you received an advanced tax credit to pay for health insurance? If so please forward documents received from the marketplace regarding this credit.
Wife had a miscarriage after 11 weeks.
Shit is unfair.
had half a diet mtn dew and half a monster in my fridge from earlier in the week and I mixed them together and drank them this morning cuz it's friday and idgaf
First I had strep throat, then I caught a nasty chest cold and I’ve been coughing for 3 weeks.
Going to the doctor again on Friday, but he probably won’t be able to help anyway.
Press F to pay respects.
Update: it wasn’t cerebral fluid, so that’s goodGreat news!
So I rented a Napoleon costume
I quit my job to start a startup and now I'm starting to get cold feet

That's just their way of kicking you out nicely. They won't be living there.
I have a cat but I grew up with them and never once reacted. Plus I’ve had her since June, didn’t react then. Is it possible to randomly develop an allergy to cats? Lately my eyes have been super red and dry, especially in the morning.
Generally, its so that they can raise rent as most places have limits on yearly increases.

This is a cross-over from depression/relationship/inconveniences, but I feel it fits more here.
I've been thinking lately during my depression about how a lot of my life has been stagnant, waiting for my next relationship to make certain changes. While I've changed and grown in terms of socializing, friends, better mental & physical health, travels, at the same time,
I still live in the same place I lived 8 years ok when I first got my job, I still drive the same car from 8 years ago, I still have the same 1080p tv from 8 years ago, my condo's interior decorations haven't really changed from 8 years ago outside some stuff I built with exes that I never bothered to get rid of. The only thing I've really added in the last 8 years was getting a Vinyl player & speaker setup last year and a Projector setup for hosting last year and an Espresso machine like 2 years ago. Otherwise my place is pretty much the same as when I moved in 8 years ago. I travel a lot less than I should because everytime I want to travel I think I'd rather do this with a gf and I should wait until I'm in a relationship to do this trip (also because I fucking hate flying and find it way more relaxing with someone else). My computer's about 3-4 years old now, same with most of my tech outside my phone that I've had to update because they die after 2-3 years each time (damn you apple).
The jist of it is that sometimes I feel like I'm still living the life I was when I first started working 8 years ago, and I'm kinda stuck in the past.
Like most of that is really tied to this idea that I'm waiting to get married before changing those things. Like I could sell my place and buy a house but it just feels like it'd be lonely to live alone in a house (even more so than a condo) and plus if I'm going to get married in the next few years I'd like my SO's input on choosing the right house for us. Plus that whole 2nd income from a partner would be nice too for buying a house. And I don't feel like upgrading my TV until I get a new house because the hassle of moving out old stuff. Same reason I still have all this old junk from past exs. It's like when I buy a new place I'll get rid of all the junk I don't need, keep what I do and buy a bunch of new shit like tv/furniture/decorations. Car is more just that my car still runs and I can't justify buying a new car and everything looks ugly to me. And yeah if I was in a relationship/married I'd be on the flight like every month or two seeing a lot more places I want to see.
So meanwhile since I'm not getting in relationships and therefore not getting married, nothing is happening on those fronts and meanwhile I'm just getting older and closer to death (I feel so old at 37 now, like most of my life is over :\).
I'm thinking this year, even if I don't get in a relationship (because goddamn I am bad at this), I should sell my place and move and decorate the place out and get a new tv and just bring some change in my life so at least it feels new and not that I'm just sitting stagnant waiting to die. I should travel more as well. I'm thinking maybe Savannah in March, Scotland again in Summer, Japan in fall, Montreal/Quebec in fall ideally with maybe some drives to Arizona/Colorado because I've never been.
I'm also starting to think about changing jobs because I don't love my job and it's stressful and I'm sure it's shortening my lifespan. Since I live pretty frugally outside trips I've got a good savings and if I wanted to I could change to a lower paying career that's actually fun and positive and makes me happy and could coast at my current style of living. Also if I did married to someone with a decent job as well that'd make it even easier to do that. Or I could stick with my job and keep saving up to do something at some point idk. I'd like to bankroll an indie game studio (very small size, like 3-4 people) and try to make a successful indie game and transition to that full time, but it's pretty risky (I'm estimating probably $300-400k for a 1-2 year project with ~4 employees) and it's tough to breakout among the hundreds of indie games released and make $$$. I wonder if you can find investors for things like that to take some of the risk off. But first I gotta figure out some good game ideas and write out a game design book for them. Right now it's all kinda pie in the sky. I don't hate my current job but I'm not adding anything positive to the world and it's extremely stressful. idk
Car is more just that my car still runs and I can't justify buying a new car and everything looks ugly to me.
It seems like you need a new relationship more than anything.
Change is good, but am not sure how changing up tech is going to make you feel any better when it's just stuff at the end of the day. If your TV is working fine...wait for it to die before replacing it unless you want 4K for better gaming or whatever. Ditto with the car, although if your S2000 is still in good shape, you can probably get a good amount for it. My dad finally got rid of his last year and said that the guys at the dealership were salivating over it when he traded it in. Still, if a 'facelift' is what your place needs...go for it.
Dunno about the job thing, or rather it sounds like you'd be leaving a stressful, albeit well-paying job for something that is going to be just as stressful or worse and could end up costing you a lot of money.
Have you also thought about moving to another city, state, or country for a while or even permanently?
Also, this-
Car is more just that my car still runs and I can't justify buying a new car and everything looks ugly to me.
:lol Is pretty much what I kept thinking when I had to get another car after mine was totaled recently. Either ugly...or everything looks like same. Like every car out there is either a Honda Fit clone, samey-looking crossover, or samey-looking SUV or pick-up. Nobody wants anything different anymore- it's so boring. Reminds me of smartphones.
Got to agree here with Bork, Beps.
Shaking things up with moving somewhere new would be more meaningful then replacing things.
I think it has been backed up by studies even that when we move to a new enviroment far away we are in someways reset and we have to reassert ourselves and who we are.
You say there are a lot of problems with this but... Where there is a will there is a way (maybe?). What kknd of meds cost 15k a month??
1080p tv or 4k has almost no impact on your happiness day to day beyond the initial rush of endorphins when you buy it.

In the end, my in-laws tell me that it was my willingness to move back that extended my father-in-law‘s wife an extra six years.
Chrono, it's time to enter Japanese politics.
Chrono, first off, I'm sorry for your loss. And I know the sacrifice that you made will always sting. But that being said, this is a major accomplishmentIn the end, my in-laws tell me that it was my willingness to move back that extended my father-in-law‘s wife an extra six years.
Most people will live their whole life and never be able to give this to someone else. You should be immensely proud.
Cold Comfort, I know. But it's comfort nonetheless
Just put down my dog of 8 years. I have never felt worse.

My mom passed away this past Tuesday. Funeral was yesterday. My grand-aunt is turning 95 today, she's been very sick the last few years and my mom was very worried about how much time she had. No cause of death yet. She wasn't sick, she was an energetic, optimistic person. Family is in a complete shock and overcome with grief. The past week has been super hectic, just running around and making arrangements, cooking for my family, cleaning, etc. Now I am just tired and empty. :-\

Now that they know what they're dealing with, can they work to treat you better?

The first degree burn on my penis still hasn’t healed.
My current place of work had a pretty good record of not hiring the type of nerd that can't perform basic hygiene and grooming (such an environment is rare in my field) and I came back from hiatus and there's a new guy. He has that cut cheddar cheese basement dweller body odor and sits next to me.
Time to update LinkedIn.

Update : they ended up moving this guy today, but I ended up interviewing for a couple jobs and now I have to awkwardly say no to continuing.
Exit plans have been cancelled for now :doge

Update 2: Today everyone in the area where they moved this guy started lighting candles. A project manager came in and asked us if we "lit rubber on fire and dipped it in mustard".
Nobody is going to say anything. There are plans to install fans near his desk, but others are poo pooing this plan as it may cause the smell to spread everywhere.
I am safe though :rejoice
which bore poster is it :neogafYour office needs to stop being a collective pussy and get a HR rep to have the hygiene talk with him
He was hired as part of an a u t I s m outreach program so this entire thing is a landmine nobody wants to touch 😭
Probably ruined a five-year friendship cause we were drinking and they upset me I guess and I told them off.
And it was pretty nasty (apparently; I don't remember.) Figures this would happen the third time I've drank in as many months.
I apologized but I wouldn't accept it if I were them. And I'm frustrated because right now really isn't a good time to deal with this, but it's self inflicted so I can't even complain about it really...
Outside of this thread of course. Doubly frustrating because I legitimately thought I was past this, since a similar thing happened last year....
Might be time to kick alcohol to the curb entirely. It's clear after the last few months that 1. I don't need it, and 2. I don't have the self-control required to consume it responsibly when I do drink.
Lot to think about in the coming days.
So I am the caretaker for both grandparents, and the old man has been in the hospital the past 2 weeks. He's coming home Monday and now I'm going to have to get up at 3 every night to give him meds. Honestly this might be my breaking point, there's no way I can continue to do what I do (which is literally everything: all the cooking, all the cleaning, all the laundry, all the yardwork, all the transportation and doctor appointments, all the groceries, all the meds, I have to measure all the food because they're diabetics and one of them is on a pump that I do, I have to deal with the bedside commode, from time to time help with old lady showers, she doesn't walk so I have to wheel her to and from the bathroom every time she has to go, I can't go to bed early because I have to take her to bed, I can't sleep in because I have to be up to make breakfast plus I now I haven't even slept past 6:15 since late March, I can't take naps because they always need me for something and it fucks with my sleep schedule which I've struggled with my entire life, on top of my chronic depression that is highly exacerbated by this living situation, now he's not going to be able to take her to the bathroom, he also now freaks the fuck out every 2-3 days while sleeping thinking he's dying because he wakes up and forgets he wears a bipap mask and freaks thinking he's smothering so he takes the mask off which is giving him his oxygen and then can't breathe more, it also happens that everytime they wake him up in the hospital at 3 am he does this as well) with waking up at 3 every morning and not being able to get back to sleep.
On top of that it's basically like living with Livia Soprano and Uncle Junior, just utterly manipulative narcissistic toxicity 24/7
:stahp this shit will never end
Nearly broke down in tears during a meeting when asked what I had been working on. Didn't but it was obvious I was struggling to hold it together. Really embarrassing. My mental state is just completely gone.
Thanks everyone. Huff, they couldn't get the stent in yesterday, so he's scheduled for open heart on Monday. As for genetics, I've got many, many heart attacks straight down the paternal line, so I've been committed to an active lifestyle to try to cheat death.

I need to leave here because I resent you all for having interests and thoughts and the drive to do things. I wish I had these things, but I'm hollow.

he referred me to a really good throat/voice guy and I got an appointment set up for the start of next week. Downside is the guy doesn't take any insurance and this being AMERICA it's gonna cost me a little under $1k to get diagnosed

:cornette
I’m struggling through a horrible ankle injury. MRI after a week of RICE still couldn’t be easily read by an Ortho surgeon. I got tripped while jogging (@4am) by a twine used for landscaping and immediately heard the “snap crackle pop.” I knew it was bad but this is devastating as I’m days away from a big trip to Japan. The one thing that I was going for me was Formula 1. I’ve been trying to get assistance with getting to the track which has defeated me. I can’t walk 2km, let alone my own damn bathroom.. :'(
I’m sorry for adding to the recent struggles you guys have been facing. I hope we all can pull through the struggle to be just inconvenienced.
So for like decades I've had a weird thing in my throat where sometimes if I talk too much I suddenly feel a sharp pain like a cut in my throat and my throat closes out and I can't talk until I drink some water and sometimes it bleeds a bit. Once it happens it's sore and more likely to keep happening so I have to rest an be careful with my voice.
I was told it was a non-cancerous polyp/nodule on my vocal chords and it's no big deal.
But it's been getting worse and happening more often over the years until a week ago when I woke up spitting up a good deal of blood spits and feeling the blood dripping down into my lungs and feeling slightly congested with blood :'( And my throat has been sore/raw since I keep losing my voice if I talk much at all. I went to see a local throat doctor that I'd seen a year ago and they saw the nodule and told me to basically live with it unless it gets worse. Well this time I saw them they looked and the polyp/nodule was gone and they're like "you like fine to me so I have no idea where you are bleeding from or what is going on, get out of my office". He basically was like uhhhh maybe it's from your lungs or something and you should get some tests there.
Anyhow dude was an idiot, but I learned that this issue I'd had for years had been misdiagnosed as being just a side effect of the polyp on my vocal chords. Because this guy was right and showed me in the images, that the polyp was gone, but I was having worse symptoms than ever.
So I've been pretty depressed, feeling like shit this whole week, not caring about responsibilities so much and just figuring I'm kinda fucked and gonna die lol and being in bed a lot. I learned really fast how hard life is socially if you can't talk much -_- not to mention work. Oh and I wake up like every 1-2 hours because the thing tickles/discomforts in my throat and makes me want to dry cough so I spend 5-10 mins on a throat lozenger and then sleep another 1-2 hours.
But today I talked with one of my real good doctors, my GI and he agreed with me that the local doc was dumb and it's likely not anything in my lungs or something dumb but something in my mid/upper throat that's being missed so he referred me to a really good throat/voice guy and I got an appointment set up for the start of next week. Downside is the guy doesn't take any insurance and this being AMERICA it's gonna cost me a little under $1k to get diagnosed, which luckily I'm lucky enough that I can afford it, but the upside is I'm finally feeling hopeful that maybe I'll finally get this thing figured out and get some treatment for it and not die soon. So I'm less depressed now.
I've also had food poisoning since this happened a week ago and haven't been able to eat much besides juice, crackers, bananas and the lack of food has been sorta working into being more down and low energy about this. Pretty sure it was from the stress of it, so hopefully stomach will get back together.
My best guess is that I've got an ulcer/sore on the epiglottis flap that opens/closes when you breathe & talk and the ulcer when dry and moving sometimes stretches and tears which the shock of the pain causes it to slam shut cutting off my voice and stuff until I get some water. Talking and breathing through my mouth when I sleep produces hot air which dries it out and talking moves it a lot and makes it more like to tear. If that's it, then I think the ulcer's just been slowing getting bigger everytime it tears and is pretty bad now. Hopefully the guy on monday can confirm!
I tried crutches and failed at using them. My splint and boot have helped out a bit but I’m still far from able to walk long distances. We’ve been so busy calling up Chase about our travel insurance options that we’re ready to just say fuck everything and go. We might not get to everything we wanted to do, but at least we’ll have a story. Taxis cost be damned we gonna have a great time. Oh and did I mention there is a cat 4 typhoon coming directly to the area we’re staying? Yeah this is gonna be a wild trip.
Bebpo I hope things get better with your issues that sounds nasty. Ulcers aren’t fun I had a pancreatic ulcer caused by a left over stone from my wild Texas trip in 15’ that was 18 months late to the party. I thought I was in the clear till it decided to pull a Alien on me and burst through my soft tissue of my rib cage. Now I have to watch out for an ulcer and a potential hernia.
So yeah, I've got my buddy from 13 years in jail :/

Elaborate.
I got gas and got back in the car, only to see my wife getting out- we had taken the dog out earlier and brought her in the car with us, and the whole thing scared her so much she peed all over the front seat and was shaking.
Slipping back into being crazy on edge half of the time; like flipping between zen and losing it at the smallest provocation.
Then if I entertain the "edge" I spiral pretty quickly and then have trouble shaking what bothered me. Will completely distract me, and I'll do weird shit like randomly make a face or scoff out loud at something that happened earlier that my brain decided to go over again.
Does not feel like a healthy mind inside of my head, but at least I'm aware of it. Of course I keep losing it, despite this awareness.. but trying to more quickly reign it in.
I don't know if it's the time of year or what.. I'm of course also dreading the holidays and being endlessly PTSD triggered.
Stop watching Raw
We always have a loud fan going; can't hear much of anything going on outside of our room.

My sleep has been getting really bad as my health gets worse. I’m unintentionally missing 2-3 nights a week of sleep. Always Monday though, that’s the only consistent day. I’ve been going into a coma for most of the weekends. It’s been getting really rough, and it sucks because work is going really well right now, and I enjoy it, but I can’t be my best and get the most out of the situation. I’m worried I’m blowing it. People notice I have to work from home all the time or I’m walking around like a zombie or I’m all nervous energy from adrenaline. It feels like I can’t win.How's your sleep hygenie? Like if you can't fall asleep within 20 minutes do you get out of bed and sit down somewhere else? I used to make the mistake of staying in bed and force myself to fall asleep. Setting up a chair nearby where I could just sit in the quiet if I couldn't fall asleep made a huge difference. Not saying that'll work for you, but it did help me.
I don’t stay up or watch shit or play games. I just stay in bed with my eyes closed the whole time and try to rest, moving as little as possible. It’s so frustrating.
I also take one of my medications as a shot at night specifically because it’s more sedating that way.

I also take one of my medications as a shot at night specifically because it’s more sedating that way.
Slipping back into being crazy on edge half of the time; like flipping between zen and losing it at the smallest provocation.go vacation in somewhere sunny and warm. you deserve it, breh :)
Then if I entertain the "edge" I spiral pretty quickly and then have trouble shaking what bothered me. Will completely distract me, and I'll do weird shit like randomly make a face or scoff out loud at something that happened earlier that my brain decided to go over again.
Does not feel like a healthy mind inside of my head, but at least I'm aware of it. Of course I keep losing it, despite this awareness.. but trying to more quickly reign it in.
I don't know if it's the time of year or what.. I'm of course also dreading the holidays and being endlessly PTSD triggered.

Can we all come over to your place and do a bunch of crank with strippers? That dude in your avatar would look kinda like ET if I had my dick in him...

Probably gonna have to sell the house this summer as part of getting a divorce. I don’t think I can get myself on board with what the soon to be ex wants to do: build a separate dwelling on the same property and continue to partner financially/ as parents. Just seems too pathetic, even for me. Of course she’s pissed that I’m back tracking on being up for that but honestly she’s not a great financial partner and if we’re splitting up we should split it up so we can move on. Idk. Fighting suicidal thoughts everyday but still have a few anchors in this world keeping me held down, fortunately.

What's wrong Tasty?
That's fucked up. Didn't you just start the job?
If they do screw you over/go out of business, the bank might be able to work with you. They don't usually like to do foreclosures.
Man that is scary dude; they really do pretty amazing things with heart surgeries these days but it’s still a frightening thing to face. Hang in there man.
Corporate shut down a location today that a lot of my good coworker friends work at. Feels bad. Just straight up “this is happening, get your stuff, it’s your last day”
Most of you know that I had open heart surgery a couple years ago to fix a congenital issue with my heart's mitral valve. I've never felt 100% right following surgery back in 2017. I used to be an avid runner, but running became impossible and walking on an incline like a hill or stairs were often strangely taxing. I have consistently brought all of this up to my cardiology team but they've always been like "sorry that sucks" until this October at my yearly echocardiogram where they're like "oh no that's not right." Over the last two months I've had a transesophageal echocardiogram and lung function/exercise test and now I'm setting up a consultation with the surgery team. My mitral valve is still leaking (in the severe stage) and I will likely need to have another open heart surgery and a valve replacement this time instead of fixing my more than likely shredded mitral valve. My heart function is still normal with no current signs of decline, but that won't last forever, so it's looking like 2020 will begin for me with surgery after the holidays and six weeks of sternal precautions.
I'm glad they're finally listening to me, I'm glad they're doing something about it and I'm really glad that I'll be able to run and not want to die walking up stairs, but dammit why do I and my wife and daughter and family have to go through this again.
Good thing I've got therapy next week.

Shit that sucks, let's hope the surgery goes well and fixes everything! Fucked up that the doctors didn't listen to you, way too often that sort of thing ends really badly. Glad they finally realized you weren't imagining things.
Coincidentally, my dad seems to be having pretty much the same problem, he had heart surgery 15+ years ago when it was discovered he had a congenital heart condition where the mitral valve was leaking. Now it's come back, the leaking is apparently medium to severe but there is no surgery planned yet, they'll keep watching it for a year. He's in his 70s so it's pretty unnerving, both the fact that he has a heart condition again and nothing's going to be done about it for now, but also the chance of him having to go through open heart surgery at his age, it was hard enough on him the last time.
What's with all these faulty mitral valves these days :-\

I have been hitting the gym but unable to really do anything due to my energy and stamina being completely wrecked. I figure it will take another 2-3 weeks to ramp back up to what I was doing. I also never get dopamine rushes from the gym or anything else :stahp
Why the fuck is the colour key repeating.
I don't have any sympathy for people living in Cold Lake. You signed up for this.

They have to get the Internet delievered on small cargo planes into the frozen north. It's very expensive though, one benji shitpost might cost you $3.50.
Went in to get a stent removed. They fucked me up real bad this time, and now I probably need to get surgery to implement a drain, after fucking up some guts, and me throwing up blood and barely being able to move after I got home.
I'm pissed.

Speaking of struggle, this post reminds me of one of the biggest professional Ls I've witnessed in my life. During my phone jockey days we were having an issue with poor connectivity on the main site. We're all sitting around discussing what the issue could be while the network guys were on it and my team lead says something to the effect of "ah, must be because it's cold outside" in passing. We all turn to him and ask us to explain what the fuck he's talking about. He tells us that because it's cold (about 35 degrees) that the internet must "need some time to warm up". We all bust out laughing at him, like howling and hollering. He begins to cry and leaves the room. To this day whenever my service is out I think to myself that ISP staff really need to get out there and warm up that infrastructure with some gloves.
Other struggles from that place:
- Finding out that stormfront was allowed in the mailspam filter with an explicit rule
- Getting told by an angry customer that they hope my first born child should die
- A forensics adventure involving bestiality and a sextape
- Getting told by an employee that they could watch grandma porn on their work host and there was nothing I could do about it
- Having a coworker show another co-worker pictures of him in bondage gear with the hopes of attracting him
- Coworker faking a work injury then testing positive for heroin and getting fired
I stopped posting on the bore during this period because I spent all my free time studying trying to get out. We made it :mjcry
White trash wanna be loved, too. And so many of them are willing to get together with us brown bois :lawdthis wasn't so surprising. what surprised me were the white girls who told me I was the only guy they fuck with that isn't black :doge I remember one particularly "you're the only white guy I've dated and you're not even white" ::) we both knew we weren't dating :lol they were all :lawd in bed and now I have a thing for black only white girls :stahp
Just good old BDSM. If anything I lost fetishes. I had a terrible experience at one point where I fucked a girl I knew from college and in the middle of it she started doing daddy daughter incest play on me. My boner died instantly because I remembered that she told me she saw her dad die in a tragic accident right next to her. Ruined hentai for me for years :beli

I’m talking about the chick! You kept her around, right? She had to be really interesting. I already want to listen to This Mortal Coil with her.
This thread has demonic bad vibes now.

Nope. We don't talk anymore and that's for the best. We just can't get along or trust each other. I thought she was interesting, we had chemistry etc but I think I was just idealizing her. I realized I found a lot of things about her really intolerable. She awkwardly likes every picture I post with my gf. :trumps
i've been literally told by a girl who was trying to fuck me that "you're so hot but you're a terrorist" when i was sporting an awesome beard if i must say so myself. she was legit confused and unfortunately, crazy hot

What a bitch. I would’ve been like “you’re so hot and you’re a terrorist”
I grew up awkward, parents who were very sheltering, and so I tragically can't offer much about the whites.
Some ethnic enclave corners around here and not a white to be spotted :pimp
Every brown bois parents are sheltering. You're supposed to be like my big brother and pass out on the couch in a puddle of your own piss when your fearless white friends drop you home after 13 beers.
One small step for man..... :lawd
I really related to Esch's travails and I feel like this is a bonafide archetype because I know so many people like this: brown/Asian guy gets stuck in a lily white conservative place and wants to get out. Gets involved with mostly white trash girls (turns out the haute bourgeois are generally more racist than their lower class counterparts). One hot and heavy romance because you're filling some other void in your life. In the end you figure out that white girls are wrong for you because they have a different lived experience and you end up dating your own race like your parents always told you to.
For real though, it is tempting to complain about things but there are some real upsides.
Not just family, but extended family are quite fond of me so I have a literal grapevines of relatives. I can crash for free at the houses of relatives across the globe in at least 6 countries and they'd love to have me there.
I can't imagine being a white and not even knowing all your dads siblings and their families for example.

so tru. despite all the drama and bullshit, the love is very real
well at least the love on my dad's side of the family...
https://twitter.com/AshBCoffin/status/1219846534998765568my parents were weird as fuck the second i turned 18. my dad threw a boxs of condoms at me and then found a stash of drugs in my room and told me to just be responsible and do this shit at home and not with my degenerate friends. before that, it was absolute hell. i couldn't leave the house and if i managed to hang out with my friends, they'd call my phone every 30 minutes to check in and make sure i wasn't doing any drugs and yea, white people would just say turn off your phone but had i done that, i'm not sure i'd be able to cycle today, let alone walk.
at least they had no idea what r-rated meant so i was able to watch all the good shit at a young age
To provide a contrast to the surveillance parental state stories, when I was a teenager I got into a car crash that 100% was not my fault. I called my mom because I was obv. a bit shook up (it was a car crash) and she sighed very loudly and said, "I don't need this right now."Your fam sounds afwul man im sorry
Wow, all this self-doxxing. Delicious :vr
I’d share some of my own brown family stories, but I’d rather still be able to run for office. You understand :pimp

Can I ask you to please expand on this one here? Feel free to use Wikipedia for anatomical references so the important details are clear in your story.
I used to go to a professional meetup once a month and sometimes a senior analyst from my job i worked with closely would attend. He starts telling this story about how he had to pull a computer off the network and I realized over the course of his story that I had worked on this issue. A couple months before I had seen in a console that a computer had made contact with a server known to deploy hacker tools and that the PC belonged to an admin. Back then i usually just remediated most of this stuff myself but I escalated it because the box had admin credentials on it and I didn't want to take any chances. I remember seeing the senior analyst and one of my managers* chatting after i told him that the box was compromised, but whatever.
So at this meetup this guy starts talking about how the CISO made him take the box home to do basic digital forensics; take an image, look for attacker activity on the host. He's going through some of the folders on the PC looking for malware and he stumbles upon an innocuous looking folder in the music section and there it is. Amidst a bunch of stolen Semisonic and Staind records he finds gigabytes and gigabytes of what appears to be animal porn. He calls up the CISO and he's instructed to take hashes and watch the beginnings of the videos to make sure there's nothing strictly illegal there. While he's watching he finds every animal you can think of fucking a human or another animal. Horse porn, dog porn, cat porn, you fucking name it. It's all there. He looks in the deleted space and strangely enough my dude deleted gigabytes and gigabytes of donkey porn. That always killed me like, yeah you can beat your dick to a horse fucking a man or a man fucking a dog but not a man fucking a donkey specifically. Like he just tried out donkey fucking like it's a new sweater from Amazon and returned that. Anyway I digress. He gets to the end and it's him, the manager. He's sitting naked on his own bed in front of a video camera and he starts yelling for his wife** to come here. She says.... "No I can't, I've got poop on my butt". He closes the video.
I had to hold this story in for months and months as I studied to get out of there. Every day was an exercise to not laugh at him***. I know his little secret. He never knew that I did. He knew that the senior analyst did, but he never had an inkling.
:trumps
==============================
* - This is the same manager who thought the internet had to warm up from the previous story
** - This manager's wife left him, and stayed in his house while he fucked other dudes. She was also disabled, like physically crippled. So this is also a giant dadold story.
*** - He was a rabid Trump supporter and would call us giant dadolds for holding mild liberal viewpoints.
i thought i got rid of my rat problem, but it looks like they're back :-\
Bebpo, as a fellow lawyer: Have you ever thought about getting out of this rat race and changing career paths?
I quit after constantly working 60 hour weeks, barely sleeping and being close to a mental breakdown. I make less than half the money now, but I have never been happier teaching at a university.
I knew several people in the university from when I did my PhD, having a PhD (or Dr. iur. as it's called here) is a requirement here. The pay level is not great compared to most jobs, so if you have some good credentials(i.e. a specialization in fields that get taught at the university level) it's not that hard to get in, since most people are more interested in making money. I valued having a regular 9-5 job more :trumps
How'd you get started looking for teaching jobs? Yeah I'd definitely like to move fields someday and teaching always seemed like a good idea.

Sounds good and bad.
Yeah, that sucks it's hitting you so hard. What dosage? I had .25 and it did nothing, but they gave me like .10 or something of klonopin and was like you described. Felt so relaxed and good, probably some of the best high feelings of my life since I live with a lot of anxiety/stress, but the sleepyness and addiction worries kept me off it as a solution. Fwiw, I'm pretty sure you build up a tolerance pretty quick on Xanax so maybe after some time you'll be fine at work with it. Can you take a lower dose for now?
Fuck life. I feel so pathetic. I hate this.
To be fair I thought being a videogame reviewer also sucked and would never recommend it to people \o/
I'm going to take a break, brehs. Been feeling miserable lately.
Yeah, being a lawyer sucks and I'd never recommend it to people. People ask me what I do and I'm like oh I'm a lawyer and then move on to another subject because I don't enjoy talking about work. At best it's an ok 9-5 that pays the bills and lets me do fun stuff when I'm not at work.

I did like teaching English to kids in Japan. Probably most satisfying job I've had. Translating/fansubbing anime/manga was pretty cool too as long as you only do specific things you love and want to share with the world. As for what Bismarkie said, I don't have the drive to go get a PhD. Best I think I can do is teach at a law school but I don't know people because I used to be extremely shy and anti-social and didn't really talk with anyone when I was at law school. So don't really have any ins. I'd basically just have to get by on my background of some teaching in Japan and years being a lawyer and not fucking up and general current charm :-*
I also have the weird issue of my office being family, so it definitely makes it weird in terms of leaving.
So interviews are going ok, done about 10+ but no one's been great so far. Had one really good candidate until we discovered she lied on her resume in a really easy to tell lie :( (said she was an attorney years prior to actually passing the bar exam, which combined with her talking about trial experience yet not mentioning anything about trials on her resume and combined with her wanting to start at the highest amount of our hiring range all added up to seem like she was a grifter), some ok people.
And my brother has been frequenting the inside of LAX recently and came down sick today (probably coronavirus and we're all gonna die RIP) so we're down from 4 to 2 attorneys and I'm doing 3 interviews a day lol
But today I got done transitioning all the cases from the leaving attorney and it's not bad. I can definitely handle it without going crazy, especially with some help. Which is a little lightening of stress. Monday was reallllly bad because we had to do billing review at the start of a new month which takes about 3-4 hours of going through all the bills before they went out. Doing that + interviews + work I didn't sleep much Monday night. Left at a more reasonable time Tuesday and like immediately crashed to sleep and slept 10 hours and felt pretty refreshed and ok today which probably helps too.
Basically just been getting up -> work -> exercise -> eat something -> RDR2 for 1-2 hours -> bed routine everyone night and will stick to that until we got this under control. It's not terrible and I'm certainly making slow progress in RDR2 this way, but been declining all social/friend stuff during the weekdays and keeping my weekends open for the next month or two so I have some recovery time. Last weekend I had stuff packed Sat/Sun so I went from one intense work week right into the next without any rest days and that made Monday extra challenging.
Lol, I got sick
Had a miserable night last night, couldn’t sleep much with dry coughing and tearing up my throat, lungs and fever chills. Luckily my general doc down the street is fitting me in now. I think if he gives me some of that perscription cough syrup like the Wild West days with cocaine equivalent I’ll stop coughing and be able to sleep and heal up my lungs & throat.
But yeah timing for this is terrible of course.
Got the codeine coughing syrup prescription, also doc gave me a z-pack just in case but I don't have any bacteria/viral infection that doc could see, just cough and high fever. Was pretty dizzy and almost fainted dropping the prescription off. Not looking forward to going back out to get it but after that should be able to just rest in bed drinking water and drugs all day.
Short update so buying a house, getting rid of renting got a cool as fuck shibe and I’m cooking some sweet ass Korean BBQ style salmon for my fiancé, like why the fuck am I so depressed, I mean end of the day I’m doing super well in life but at the same time I have this duality or wanting to destroy it all. Fucking lame. Also fuck Xanax as that shit is just legal heroin and noping out of that after a week is probably what is making me feel like shit.:mynicca
Life is weird just glad I have some fellow people I can shoot the shit with globally and be like cool it’s not just you
Thanks filler likes MVP!
Oxy is literally legal heroin, Xanax is an incredibly different and much lamer high.
I understand it’s medical use but can’t fathom why it’s so popular recreationally for anyone not suffering from anxiety.
How do you know you aren't dead tho

Yeah, I'm pretty dead too. Like I get sick a lot, but this has to be the hardest I've ever been hit in the head. Can barely type this post. Can't even watch tv because it hurts my headache.
Was up to 101.6 fever last night, but did seem to fever break at some point and been in the 99.0-100.0 range since. Still getting massive fever chills and cold af.
The worst part is this massive headache I have. Just 24/7 and reaching down or turning my head or doing anything makes me it worse. Coughing (which is mostly under control thankfully) gives me 12/10 kill myself sharp stabbing headaches in the front half.
Pretty much just on 500mg tylenol every 4 hours (3000/day) but even that barely helps the headache and fever. Plus even though it's every 4 hours, the effects wear off at 3.5 hours and I start getting bad chills and headaches. Drinking tons of water.
Oh and can't sleep more than 30-60 mins at a time, so slept all night but woke up every hour :|
I'm guessing it's just the flu, my doctor said since the fever is going down to just give it a few days unless it spikes.
Only other thing I can think of is viral meningitis because of the constant severe headache, but at least so far don't have neck stiffness and no weird stuff like bright lights being painful. So hopefully not that.
Just so much pain >< I'm not supposed to take aspirin or ibuprofen due to the meds I'm on, so pretty much all I've got is 500mg tylenol.
So I almost died.this would happen to me during sleep anytime I got sick as a kid :stahp waking up in the middle of the night all through childhood struggling to breathe :tocry
Had a little bit of phlegm in my lungs, had the first cough to bring it out of my lungs and into my throat, but couldn't get it out from my throat with my 2nd or next few coughs. So what happened is a bunch of phlegm blocked my airways and I started choking to death and couldn't breathe and eventually I was able to get some air through the phlegm and breathe. But I never got the phlegm out so yeah.
Definitely concerned about this happening again. I've been taking an expectorant every 4 hours and drinking lots of water, so that this still happened is bad.

Thank you all, got back from the hospital and after they got her on IV fluids (which she really needed) and some stuff her vitals got a lot better and fever down to something reasonable in the 101F range. She was a lot more coherent by the time I got to the hospital and they did a spinal tap and ran tests and the doctor seemed think there wasn't a separate infection going on and the confusion and brain lining inflammation was a side effect of the flu. They're keeping her overnight but expect her to be ok to treat at home tomorrow. All good news so far. Hoping for the best.
Flu is really bad this year. A lot of the 2009 H1N1 going around. Take care glad y’all are doing better. Don’t be afraid of going back to be seen in the ER if you get sick/worse as secondary bacterial pneumonia’s are common
you know what you have to do. fuck him in the assYES SHOW HIM THE REAL HINDUTVA :phil
Well I saw the dentist and it was what I thought, a side of my tooth had collapsed into the hollow inside. He poked it for like 2 seconds and a chunk of tooth just fell out of my mouth and there was a giant gaping hole on one side of the tooth. My root must be dead because I have zero pain from any of this. He wasn't comfortable doing extractions, so he filled it with some cement stuff to close it up temporarily since it didn't seem infected or anything and referred me to an oral surgeon to extract it on Monday morning and then figure out whether to start on the implant or bridge process.
Just gotta eat soft foods on the other side and watch out and make sure there's no infection over the weekend until then.
At least there's no pain yet and this is just annoying. I'm guessing when they pull it it'll be painful, especially since I heal really slow, but I guess they'll give me some painkillers so I'll be in happy mode next week. It's my upper tooth 3 from the back if you include wisdom tooth (I don't have my wisdom tooth, so it's 2nd from back). So it's still a pretty big ass tooth and will be a big ass gap/hole in the back until I do something about it.
Maybe I should get a gold tooth and be pirate arghhh
Do any of you Borians have tips for dealing with panic attacks? I've experienced more panic attacks the past two months then the rest of my life combined and it sucks. At first they were just waking me up prematurely from sleep, but now I've had them full on in the middle of days. I was just starting to climb out of my massively emotionally fragile depressive funk and it seems like I replaced it with panic attacks.
I bought some lavender spray and a fancy lavender candle. I've called people to talk a few times when it got super bad. I've been doing breathing stuff, writing stuff and also going to the gym more.
I also doubled up my generally low dosage anti anxiety meds (which I'm supposed to take twice a day and had been only doing once a day). It seems like the panic is getting less, but I figured I'd ask if anyone has other advice.
So my soon to be ex quit her fucking job without a backup while we’re still sharing finances without telling me :rage
Just can’t
No. She hasn’t even gotten approved for a place to move out yet. This is most out of control my life has ever felt. Fighting the dark thoughts again.

There's a bunch of decent breathing apps that I really like.

This site is usually pretty good, and these apps do really help!
As for me still going through the which med is for me game and also the so what is fucking wrong game. Generally been okay, I have had a couple nights when I got VERY drunk but generally just trying to stick to social drinking and staying clear of fun drugs which aren't fun atm. Just wish I'd be put onto something or nothing, these come down periods on meds before starting the next actually make me feel worse than anything because of the weird ass side effects. Well it's more oh look you're becoming a feeling person again instead of muted to fuck. Other than that have started going to the gym and running with the dog so that is helping me a lot. I'm not as low or high as I have been but just keeping a fairly rounded pace on things.

Got back into the gym and I feel like I've never worked out in my life. Simultaneously feeling heavy and bloated but also small and weak. All the aches and pains that should have healed up or improved after basically 2 weeks of rest are worse than ever.
This is horrible. I feel bad. Is this what actual athletes go through when they come back from injuries or breaks? :stahp
so good news and bad news
some of you might remember that i mentioned that my left hand has been in pain for about a year and a half. i've seen multiple doctors and they had no idea what may have been wrong with me. but today, after seeing a highly reviewed orthopedis, i finally got my answer.
the bad news? it's much worse than i feared. i was hoping it was just a tricky case of tendonitis, but it turns out i actually have severe arthritis, and the cartilage in my joints have all been destroyed. and cartilage does not grow back, which leaves a very, very tiny, very expensive and very uncertain list of options for me (surgery, basically).
but as shitty as all this is, arguably the most twistedly fucked up thing is that i got my x-rays around the time this started, and so the problem was right there, it's just that EVERYONE who read the x-ray up until now, missed everything. meaning that, in these past 18 months, any remaining cartilage i would have had probably got destroyed due to a combination of continual deterioration, and multiple cortisone shots that i got cause the idiot doctors gave me the wrong diagosis.
i'm only 35 years old. this shouldn't be happening to me :fbm
I’m sorry that must suck so bad. I use my left hand all the time and it isn’t even my dominant hand. Could it be worth consulting with a lawyer? That sounds like malpractice to me since they were making it worse. But I’m not a lawyer or anything
That's awful Madrun :(
Spend time with them while you can if you're close.so good news and bad news

You know, the bright side is that they know what it is and from my experience, hand surgeries are pretty successful even some of the complex ones can take a couple surgeries, so there might be light at the end of the tunnel.
To be honest though, you should have expected this after all those years of grabbing huge titties.

So I learned today that my friend that went briefly to jail passed away in February, after I digged a bit after seeing he wasn't replying in over a month. I'm devastated. I keep watching a clip of us playing CSGO and crying as soon as his voice pops in.
Doggo deaths are literally the worst deaths :mjcry
Pretty upset. My cousin's kid, only three years old and he has stage 4 cancer - it's metastasized to other parts of his body and he might need marrow and stem cell transplants. They just found out this month. His parents are having to take leave from work for a year to support him, they set up a GoFundMe page to get help from the rest of the family but it's just? How can you deal with something like this during a pandemic? His wife is pregnant with a second too. It's fucked up too since that cousin was one of the few people in my family to actually escape poverty in the third world and get a good job and he still gets crushed by life.Yeah, this kind of thing is why I feel like Stephen Fry has a sadly accurate grasp on life:
Well I was involved in a car accident a few months ago which in no way did I think was my fault. And now Enterprise says it was my fault and wants 4,000 something for an accident that wasn't my fault. Great.Lawyer up if you haven’t already.

My mom, sister and me put down the family dog today. He was about 14-15, so more than half of my life. He started out as my older sister's dog, before staying with my mom, and then since I moved back with my parent's a year and a half ago he's spent pretty much all his time with me (and my other dog, Sasha.)

I held his paw and felt his heartbeat fade. I'm a wreck. I've had a constant headache from crying the past three days after we made the decision. But now it's over at least.

Will be burying him on the family farm near our other deceased pets, and no disrespect to them and their marker-less graves, but he's getting a bigass cross and visits every day.

There's something odd about the weed vapes. Didn't a few people get lung damage and die one or two years ago?
Probably best to just stick with edibles or smoke it like a caveman.

Aren't you furloughed/getting reduced hours? Even for contractors you should still be eligible.
Your employer is purposefully trying to abuse you until you quit. Do not break. Hang in there.
when i went to the doc's last week, he gave me this somewhat newish experimental treatment called 'shockwave therapy'. i'm supposed to do 3 treatments, each one week apart. i was a little skeptical at first, since i didn't feel much different for the first 2-3 days (and arguably even worse at points :brazilcry ) but these past few days....the pain seems to have gone down quite a bit.http://www.thebore.com/forum/index.php?topic=47554.0
i'm a little conflicted cause i'm willing to continue if it's working, but i also don't know if this is just like some kind of placebo effect. it's mainly cause the treatments are pretty pricey ($300 per treatment).
what do you guys think?

Just getting worn down day by day. They canned my mentor, made my team lead my boss. My boss quit three months after that. I just keep getting more and more responsibility. Teaching, demos, presentations. Leading the ad hoc work. Fixing other people's work. On top of that I'm doing almost all the technical design while my coworker with a decade plus of age and experience on me just chills and does nothing. Meanwhile the standard for my day to day work is to basically one up cutting edge silicon valley vendors every day. I manage the project, I do all the technical work, I do the scoping and qa. If what I submit isn't good enough after all that isn't good enough then I get told I'm not making adequate progress or my ideas aren't cutting edge enough. I don't know anything about project management. I can barely do the technical work to the standard they like. They tell me I'm doing a good job but every day feels like sisyphean failure and my brains melting. The worst thing is when I produce work and I present it to my now current boss, and he and another team lead crush the stuff I serve up unless it's absolutely at the limit of what I'm "good enough" to make. I can't let my standard of quality for work drop at all or I get torn down in front of witnesses.
Esch... get that coworker to take some work off your plate.
Esch... get that coworker to take some work off your plate.
It's a great setup right now where he does the technical work he's assigned but now nobody is assigning the work and nobody has been for months. So I just end up doing all the research and testing myself. The good thing is that I've done the research, early next week I'm calling him up and demanding he execute on some of my dozens of ideas. I already did the gap analysis too so he just needs to do the work, test and deploy. If he says no or takes his time I'm just going to make it painfully obvious to my boss that me and one guy do everything next time I get owned.
(…)I don't know anything about project management. (…)

i went to get snacks and somehow bought the wrong ice cream flavorA couple months ago I accidentally bought low-fat ice cream. I was pretty upset with myself.
end me now, god
Went out to pick up some food and my wife calls, extremely upset- the baby rolled off the couch and hit the floor.
I had to take a minute to calm down. That was some scary shit to hear. Went to the ER as directed and we're hopefully almost done. The baby seems to be completely fine and the doctor said the chances of something bad happening are extremely low.
:whew
That's your panic-ER-visit-because-the-baby-can't-describe-any-injuries milestone. Thankfully, babies are chubby and soft so they don't get injured too easily but you always assume the worst until the doctor tells you gives you the verbal xanax.
mom told me about how when she was pregnant with me and my psychotic abusive father shot a gun through the ceiling, then pointed it at her stomach and squeezed the trigger again. somehow the gun didn't go off.Your life is a miracle filler :preach even as a infant you were able to hack the matrix to survive :neo :mynicca
I remember overhearing something about this as a small child, but it was something I was never sure was real or that it was me she was pregnant with at the time.
Yeah human babies/kids are very durable. Glad she's ok :)That's your panic-ER-visit-because-the-baby-can't-describe-any-injuries milestone.

Baby had a CT scan just good measure and it was very much this- she's completely fine and the doctor said they kind of just "bounce" off the floor, whereas adults will just hit the floor and get hurt.
I was 99% sure everything was going to be fine until the woman running the scan said "so has your daughter ever had surgery before?" This made me nervous as hell until the doctor popped in to tell us everything was normal.

My uncle has had throat cancer for the last 6 months, for most of the fall he was unable to eat. He went through chemo and the tumor shrunk enough that he was supposed to have surgery in Dec, which got postponed to tomorrow and now they have found cancer metastasized to his hip, arm, pelvic and lung and called off the surgery. My aunt is the only person allowed to see him and only once a week due to covid. The chemo and malnourishment have made it so he no longer had sort-term memory, which makes things like phoning and zoom very hard. She found this out today over a call and she isn't allowed to go see him for another five days. I feel really awful for them.

My little fur baby MAX was doing good for a few days, then this evening everything went to shit. He started urinating and bleeding everywhere in the apartment. I got him in the car and drove to the nearest Animal hospital since our vet couldn’t take him in. I’m so stressed out right now and I’m breaking down. :'(
I just want my little dude to not suffer and it was so hard watching him suffer till the hospital knocked him out so they could help him... :-\ :'(
I'm sad for your loss.
Please make sure you're getting screened for cancer, esp. with a family history of it.
Just need to vent a bit. My cousin, who is the daughter of the uncle who just passed, has down syndrome and she sent me an email today and I replied mentioning her dad, because it just felt very strange not to. I also didn't realize she is at home with my aunt and not at her community home, so my aunt would have read the email beforehand. However, I just had a zoom call with them and, they are doing well and I think they are just trying hard to be happy today. So I think I misjudged the situation, and I shouldn't have mentioned him. Now I'm worried that I will ruin her good mood and I should have known better. It just felt really strange not telling her I'm sorry about her dad. And now it's like do I email my aunt to let her judge but then this puts stress on her.
And you’ve got a fence... damn I’m sorry Tasty :-\
Those are some beautiful birds!
Is your enclosure fenced on the top too?
