Struggle Thread mk II - No one likes us, we don't care

"doggone Asian people sounding like they're singing all the time when they speak to you"

- my mother, after a phone conversation with an Asian friend of hers.

Manager fucked up on client quantity for shipment.
Gave an entire season's worth of shit they use as an estimate for a truckload.

So basically this dude about to get almost 4 times the amount he needs in a day.
And it's all my fault despite me not doing a thing.
 

[Kara]

Having to tiptoe around shit because of 5150 potential 

Nah, it wasn't that, but (no benji) fuck the state for passing that stupid law. A practitioner shouldn't be able to ruin your life when you're a risk to no one but yourself.

[Purrp Skirrp]

If I'm understanding that law right, NY is similar. Sharing your suicide plans with your practitioner = concerned freakout and admittance to the nearest hospital

Suicidal ideation is A-OK though

[king of the internet]

Haven't been able to sleep past few nights. At least not until 7-8AM.  Time to just embrace it, not even gonna try to nod off. Who needs sleep anyways.

be black and yet still racist as hell brehs

[Purrp Skirrp]

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

Too bad she's married, but what if it's an unhappy marriage?

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.

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.

(Image removed from quote.)

Nah I'm not that spergy, I can tell the difference. I'm good at charming older women and I say that without irony in a genuine douche kind of way.

We get off topic a lot and just shoot the shit about life and we were cracking up about this dumb billboard with a flabby shirtless dude targeting men to join Yoga.

It's not self-deprecating laughter either or like it's happening at inappropriate topic times (though that would be funny af having her laugh at my troubles).

She thinks I'm intelligent and we enjoy talking to one another. With therapists you always got to be assessing chemistry to see if they're a right fit and I'm more comfortable with her than the last 4 I tried.

It is fucked up though in a sense and will never be acted upon...I think

A man(child) can dream.

[Kara]

Basically on your biweekly income report there's a question, "Did you refuse work?" that you self-report. That's it.

Where you can get fucked is if you answer "Did you look for work?" in the affirmative and the box is checked that compels you to list who you applied to. In all my time volunteering to help people with their unemployment insurance claims I never saw that happen, but if you're looking for things to worry about it's that and not what you were worried about.

(I'm assuming you're OK with lying on government forms.)

Today I got a ticket for not having up to date tags.

Yesterday (2+ months late) I paid the registration on my car.

[Madrun Badrun]

Holy shit! in 'Night Time Is The Right Time' it's 'night and day' not 'mighty gay'.    After all these years.  SMH.

[Madrun Badrun]

I was up till 3am too.  Then I had a dream that I was in elementary school and for show and tell I brought in my PC and dozens of external hard drives to show off my collection of censored Japanese porn. 

[I'm a Puppy!]

The one day this week where I can sleep in until 8am and I get up at 6am

She's fine now. Real struggle of the day is that I don't like Green Thunder Mio

Have 4 of these bottles too. Maybe it got too warm during shipping, but it taste like some east euro knockoff green jolly rancher.

[Madrun Badrun]

I got a cell phone a few months ago and every time I get a text its from my service provider.  If someone ever say my incoming text list I'd never live down the shame.  Is there like a bot lonely people can subscribe to?

[brawndolicious]

Relatives are an organic substitute but nearly as embarrassing if that's where all your recent texts are from.

[Kara]

I hate being queried for business advice by people who ended up in that dank petit bourgeois game by birth instead of aptitude because not only do I have to work extra hard at dressing up basic facts in a way that doesn't insult the advice seekers, but I have to confront the fact that whatever (if one were being generous) success I have has as much to do with my masochistic capacity to endure privation as any particular skill on my part and that that success cost me pretty much everything I do care about and is currently used to subsidize nothing of particular import

Got struggles 2 real even 4 this thread atm. It's crazy how fucking complicated life can get. Just gonna ride it out 4 now.

[VomKriege]

So the final propositions of buying back the company that gives me work has been given to the court. Two out of three potential buyers made an effort to lay less people.

It's pretty ridiculous how rigged this all feels. Restructure your company right on the eve of judicial break and during the summer vacation months.
Us "temp" workers are completely in the dark as to what will change in the upcoming months.

[Kara]

That sucks, VK.

[milchs evil twin]

Killed my laptop hinge in a way that it won't even open without ripping out the screen.
I'm totally broke and in the midst of trying to write a thesis.

Time to sell my ass

[Madrun Badrun]

How much?

[Tasty]

Had Skype sex with my best friend's boyfriend for the second time tonight, and now I'm stuck between telling him and potentially ruining their relationship (when I feel like they're great together), or keeping quiet and stewing in my angst (like I did after the first time.)

Both times I was (pretty) drunk but that's not excuse. I really am a corrupt, broken, petty, empty shell of a person.

I'm not good enough to have "best friends."

[Tasty]

oh look an unopened bottle of wine better make sure it doesn't go bad

[Kara]

Despite bellyaching about trust all the time there was a time in my life when I was not a particularly fidelitous individual. You'll grow out of it. Or be alone. Or think bonobos are a template for human behavior. Anyway, what's done is done. All you can do now is decide if you'll be the same tomorrow and if your friendship is worth more than someone knowing the truth.

spoiler (click to show/hide)

Skype sex.

[close]

[Tasty]

It'll be option B. I've never not been alone.

[Tasty]

Also I didn't put much stock into sexting or other forms of e-sex but honestly... Not bad.

[Tasty]

oh hey a second bottle where did that come from nmmmmmmm

[Tasty]

Rain falls softly outside my window, pattering the sidewalk with the emptiness of a gesture that will evaporate before I awake. The malbec in my glass coats my lips.

I am alone.

The fire in my stomach keeps me warm.

I am alone.

[VomKriege]

I don't know about your cheating problem but you should seek support for your alcohol problem. It won't do you any favor when trying to fix the rest.

[Tasty]

I don't have a problem.

[Rufus]

Spontaneous bad poetry says otherwise.

[Tasty]

That's been a problem since middle school tho

[king of the internet]

Got tossed around by some bears tonight.  The key 2 surviving a bear attack is to play dead until they get bored and walk away .I survived.

[milchs evil twin]

Wat

For real?

Also, Andy, your best friend sure seems to know how to pick good company. Damn, that's gotta suck.

That was decent poetry at worst

Yeah I honestly thought it was appropriated content.

He's not a bad guy, in fact he's a ton of fun and I love hanging out with them. I guess I just made myself too available.

I'm basically Kramer with the kavorka.

Senpais noticed me

Looking at it sober though...

[milchs evil twin]

I guess by now we can safely assume that KOTI died from his wounds.

RIP King

The king is dead. Long live the king.

I was in Provincetown last week. No bears mauled me.


My secret was to fully shave and wear a shirt.

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 ) 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.

Realistically, is there anything left you can do that won't kill people in the long term

[Madrun Badrun]

How old do I have to be before I can call myself a Daddy Bear? 

Also sorry you got molested king of the internet.  Royalty should be treated better.

I always thought Robespierre was a cool young dude.

Got my second ticket in less than a week for expired tabs.

They both came after I renewed my registration
