I try to fit in at work by participating in collective commiseration but in my heart I am feeling like "GOD I feel fucking incredible do these fucking idiots not know about performance enhancing drugs or what"

#also I was. by choice. the one doing all the most physically demanding work these past 4 days. because I'm the only one physically capable.#because whenever i let anyone else even attempt to do so they would take so much time that it scared me.#If I wasn't there #they wouldn't have finished. Plain and simple. What was a 4 day project would've taken 7.#or more #This is a consistent issue btw they schedule teams that dont make sense for the project.#i was working with a really slow 60 year old woman who was stoned all day #and a 75lb indian boy who smokes a pack of cigs a day #and a tiny new girl who was trying her best to keep up #and my sedentary lifestyle team lead #we had pin girl the first 2 days #yestersay the district manager popped by to help briefly at the end of the day #and then today we had some dude helping but by that point i mean all the hard shit had been done #ok but obviously i was doing better at the easy stuff too and by the end of the day when everyone was shutting down i was just starting #to really pick up speed #like i was actively perfecting my techniques. it was incredible. it felt incredible.

i'm going insane because of these tiny tiny screws

#i want to install a ssd card on laptop alright? i want some extra memory i want to play games i want to play baldies gate #i want to keep my art on my laptop ready for access at all times right #but #i cant open my fucking laptop #the screws wont come off #i bought a precision tool kit to open this shit but they still wont come off #and i know they can come off because i managed to unscrew 4 out of 11 screws so i know it is possible it is the right tool ok #so i got obsessed with loosening all of these stupid screws and maybe spent ~3 hours total today on this shit #and i have blisters on both my thumbs and i'm pretty sure i only made things worse by repeatedly forcing these motherfuckers #but i felt possessed i had to take these off i feel crazy my thumbs hurt #BUT IT JUST WONT COME OFF I HATE THIS FUCK MY STUPID BAKA LIFE #and i don't know why this minor inconvenience is consuming my every thought but it is it really is #it's just a simple task why cant it just open i just wanted extra memory on my puter #anyways gonna take this laptop to a professional who hopefully can unscrew stuff better than me tomorrow MORNING #because im obsessed with this situation and it is eating my brain and soul rapidly #i really don't know why i'm focusing so much on this minor thing it's upsetting me #talking to the wall

SO fucked up that when u study languages they also make u study architecture history and ant biology and economy and european politics hierarchy so by the end of the semester i still cant tie a proper sentence in any language but sure i can differentiate the neo gothic style from rococo or tell you what a bull market is

#shut up dave #im tired im tired im tired i dont care abt any of this #i mean i do enjoy architecture and art periods. i dont want to be required to know all of them #i have an exam tomorrow and one on sunday and one on wednesday and one on next saturday #then on monday and tuesday and the following saturday and monday too #and frankly. im only confident i can pass 3 maybe 4 of them #for the rest??? idk ill need to study and im very bad at that #but hey we got the grades back from the first exam!! the one i took last week and i got a 9 yippeee #that is out of 10 #it was in german interpreting n like. genuinely. im good enough at consecutive interpreting that i dont think theres a way 4 me to fail #like even if i mess it up i cant do THAT bad #i had to do it 4 english today and i think i fucked up sooo big it was so embarrassing. but then we got to the critique of my performance #and. it was all the usual nitpicks? like few word choices #the occasional discordance with adjectival conjugation. few points that 'havent clearly come across'#in my mind i had missed like a whole half of the speech but apparently it was p good still #now the problem is. same prof who teaches that subject also teaches specialized languages #and im. very bad at that one for simple reason that i have not processed any information all year #um maybe next time dont make your class about the stock market? idk just a suggestion. i dont care for wallstreet or whatever.#tho to b fair i didnt care for the european parliament last year either so ig u just cant win me on those terms #but if we get to specializing on the judiciary field i think i wouldnt be able to keep ignoring it. because of the circumstances #i have two more shirt designs to finish before the month ends but as u can see school wants me dead at the same time #one of said designs is a full 7 character thing :/#and the other. well ive already made 3 thumbnails for it and nothing rly clicks the way i want it to

Putting this under a cut because I talk about today’s mass shooting.

What a day.

I currently work as a bartender on Chicago’s north side, as close in the city as you can get to the suburbs, one of which is Highland Park, where the shootings took place.

I’m fine; I don’t live there, and with my current schedule, I’m still in bed at 10 am, and I also don’t go to parades. So I am safe.

However, I had to work today. My bar is owned by a lesbian couple who also own 2 of the businesses next door, one of which has a kitchen where we get, oh, all our fresh things like limes. They were closed. So I was half-stocked, working a holiday when a mass shooting happened less than 5 miles away.

One of my regulars came in, and she’s generally pretty quiet. Her husband had been in earlier, so I was surprised to see her by herself. But I asked how she was doing, and oof--she was the emergency dispatcher for Highland Park. And she’s the social worker people talked to when that same ER (that cared for 25 people in 4 hours) had one of their nurses shot and killed on the premises a couple years ago.

Highland Park is a wealthy area where the average individual income is $90k/year.

Look, if some of the wealthiest people in the state aren’t safe, who is? I’m just so fucking tired.

I got to go home eventually, but the trains were running slow. People started setting off fireworks nearby (still light out) and it was NOT fun, given that at that point the shooter hadn’t been apprehended. Each stop we made the train would stay there for two minutes and leave the doors open and it was so...ugh. Eventually I transferred to my bus and then got home, but my neighborhood is setting off nonstop fireworks, and neither I nor my cats are having it.

Ugh.

#this has been a rant #pls don't rb #I am tired but what is sleep #also left my booze at the bar because I was tired #today was my first time having to tell someone to leave the bar too #and we had a Cocktail Lady #(please keep in mind that your bartenders--unless you are at a cocktail lounge--will not be happy if they have to make you three cocktails #especially if they're alone #like...let us pour you a beer or have a simple vodka soda or G&T)

It's happening

Im self sabotaging again, as I've done all my life

This is a vent, you have been warned

#all happiness i had from the date has completely died out #I don't know what happened nor what to feel #up to yesterday she was messaging me for simple things with a couple pet names and just being lovely #yet today when we finally see each other again? colder than the fucking stone she's never been this cruel before #im totally willing to be with her in the good and the bad...but it's hard to do when anything you do gets completely rejected or ignored #i knew that this was a possibility of course but with how perfect everything was i don't understand i truly don't #im confused and on the verge of crying but I've been holding it back the whole day...the better the thing the worse the consecuence i guess #thank fucking god im no longer suicidal (i mean depression is always there but i can fight it now) because this would've surely left a scar #I just don't understand anything... why is this even happening where did i go wrong and how can i even fix it #thing is: although I'll definitely end up blaming myself i do know it's also something on her end #atleast in these moments of sanity i don't feel that guilty yet but I'll be dying in these following times #...guess this does confirm that it's not a simple crush but actual love right? because I've never felt this hurt before #like i don't give up and I don't plan to because with her i have experienced some of the happiest moments of my entire life #i know it's worth it... but i don't know how much more i can keep taking before crumbling apart #ah. this is why refused to let myself fall for someone again until a long time but that attempt was poorly executed #again though. what I've lived with her will stay on my mind and... if it comes to the worst I'll atleast treasure the memories i could keep #anyways ill end this here. i needed some venting because everything is aching right now but this does help even if just a little #vent

The other day I told a friend of mine that I never forget to take my ADHD meds because I fucking love my ADHD meds. I'm in my late 30s, I didn't finally get a diagnosis and meds until less than two years ago, and they have changed my entire life.

And he raised his eyebrow at me. We'd been discussing addictive medications a few minutes before, like the Tramadol I finally got from the pain specialist to take once a week or so to give me a break from my chronic pain, so I reassured him that methylpenidate (Ritalin/Concerta) is not addictive (at least not in people with ADHD).

His response? To raise his eyebrow even harder and say "Well it sure SOUNDS like it's addictive!"

And I had to explain to this man - who works in a healthcare related job by the way - that just because medication makes you feel good and helps you, just because you look forward to taking it, that doesn't make it addictive or dangerous. And he wasn't convinced.

The simple fact that I was excited to take a daily pill that has literally changed my life, after decades of fighting to get that medication, made him think I shouldn't be taking it so often. That it must inherently be dangerous.

I'm not even in America, but I'm pretty sure this attitude began there and then spread over here to Europe. This Puritan idea of "if something feels good, you must beware of it. Pleasure is dangerous, it is sinful, it is addiction, it is evil."

I know too many people who subconsciously believe that pleasure = addictive = dangerous = bad. Joy is a slippery slope to hell.

So here is your reminder for today that you don't need to be afraid of feeling good. If something improves your life, use it. Even if it is addictive - learn what that addiction means, whether the addiction is inherently dangerous or not, and whether the benefits outweigh the drawbacks and risks.

My ADHD meds are, in fact, not addictive. But I will take them every day because they make my life orders of magnitude easier. I will enjoy them every time I take them.

My tramadol is addictive. I will still take it. I will keep it on a schedule to avoid becoming addicted, primarily because addiction in this case would mean reduced effectiveness. But I am not afraid of my painkillers. They are life changing.

Take your meds, everyone. Don't let anyone scare you away from doing something that improves your life.

It’s gotten to the point that I’m getting homework assigned to improve my serve…

#I cannot for the life of me get an overhand serve to work #and it’s so frustrating!!#I wanna practice but at the same time usually it means someone won’t get a serve to receive cause it’ll be shitty #and I don’t wanna do that #but today we had some time where we weren’t that many #so I was like okay today I’ll stick to it #and keep practicing #and fucking none of them came over the net ughh #my coach ended telling me to just do a few underhanded serves for a while to still get to receive smt #which was fine but also ugh #so after training he was like if you do this with a tennis ball you can practice the movement #which is very nice and I wanna do that but it’s wild that it has come to that #last time I practiced it I got two over the net out of like 15 #but still that was something! I can do it sometimes #so like I will do it some day not all is lost #but it’s wild that such a simple movement doesn’t work for me #idk if it’s coordinating with the ball as well but it’s shitty #oh well I’ll try and find a tennis ball at home bc my coach wanted to bring me one #but I won’t be there next Monday and next Wednesday is cancelled #so I’ll try and find my own bc otherwise it’ll be a while #fingers crossed #I will get it one day! I’m making fucking sure of that #me #volley serve progress #I might come back to this post some day
