sitting crankily in my car in the parking lot bc i am so tired of the porch light getting turned off while I am working in pitch fucking blackness despite my multiple requests to try and remember to leave it on for me
like it is not a bad reflex to turn a light off when you're done with it but. i have lived here and worked the graveyard shift since we moved in a year and a half ago at this point. i have my work schedule on a shared gcalendar. i have asked multiple times for this to be considered
in the summer when the sun actually comes up it's whatever but when it's freezing rain and i can't tell how icy our walkway is in the pitch fucking black of morning I GET VERY CRANKY LMFAO
it would.......... if i didn't need 2 hands to unlock our door in winter bc the temperature changes warp it so much that i have to pull it back into the frame with one hand while unlocking the deadbolt with the other
ooh that's a good idea, I think! a coworker of mine used to leave a note next to her light switch in her office to remind her to swap her glasses since she would absolutely just walk out with her computer glasses LMAO
honestly. I would paste a bunch of sticky notes around the light switch. and if that didn't work, just increase the surface area of sticky notes. but I am a bitch. but also being a bitch is warranted in this situation I think
if I didn't need the money so badly I would just strike Fridays from my availability so this stops happening to me but... alas... I do need the cursed paper
the main problem is that this usually happens to me over the weekend... because the schedules are written from Sunday to Saturday, so no one looks at the previous week's schedule when writing the new one
the problem today was not actually the road or sidewalk, which had mostly melted clear by the time i got out there. the problem was the 4 inches of snow i had to shove off my car and then accordingly shovel out of my parking space
i felt so ill last night and my whole body feels like it's been flattened by a steamroller. almost as if i busted my ass 6 nights in a row or something
which is going to be a little busy regardless bc valentine's weekend plans with my partner but. holy shit i need these days off I'm so sick of being at work that my performance is suffering LMFAO
friendship blowup with massive ripple effects across the social circle. finally confiding in some other folks about some very difficult personal stuff i have been dealing with. finally making an appointment with a psychiatrist
this one was pretty inevitable tbh. it is the Problem Person i have spoken of that is in a lot of our tabletop games who has been real on their DWRP (derogatory) shit in them
"done",,, we are still in a bit of limbo discussing what to do about the tabletop spaces they're still in, since they were only formally removed from the spaces that the person who cut them off owns
I also have contact with this person and am quietly screaming because I know The Tea, but technically shouldn't since I'm not in those particular circles
I've heard about generally the whole saga and how long it's been going on for. so, it's not surprising it finally came to a head, but oml it's been a long time coming and still so much.
a few folks have been like "i've been worried about rosa since i know [problem person] has been spending a lot of time with them" and i was just like. don't worry. crystal is also a journal RP veteran, amongst other things. they will not get sucked into the bullshit. MFLKSDMHKLH
like, i told my source as long as they're not acting a fool in my streaming community, they're free to be there as far as i'm concerned. for one, i cannot act upon information i shouldn't technically have, but for another, i know if i catch any wind of that kind of behavior, they're having a very stern talking to from me.
and, like, real talk, they have been showing up in my server/hanging around whenever there have been problems with y'all's circle. so it's kinda one of those things where i've been Prepared in that sense.
i did finally do a thing that i've been thinking about doing for a while that my therapist recommended on wednesday and it has been a huge relief though
tried to knock out finding and scheduling a dermatologist appt for this eczema flare-up that has been driving me nuts for over a month now and . holy christ. how are there so many dermatologists in my area and NONE of them take my insurance
i was on the phone with a very helpful rep from the insurance company for an hour while she called around (and we realized that oh, right, i would also probably need a referral but i currently HAVE NO PCP... SO THEN SHE HAD TO CALL AROUND FOR THAT........) and i have. leads but no results yet bc it's end of day
there is a place around here that is highly reviewed and only does direct pay so i have.......that option if my parents are willing to help me. i can also rush my ass through finding an in-network PCP that is taking appointments soon that can get me a referral and then drag my ass about 40min away to this middling-reviewed dermatologist
i may also be able to get a referral or potentially even the prescription itself from an urgent care place around here if i can find one that accepts my MCO, since i don't really need a diagnosis, just the medicine... so i will delve into those options further tomorrow
i simply think the way healthcare works in this country is the worst and i would like to bite whoever came up with it until they die or die again actually
i also have my psychiatrist appointment tmw so i need to write down my most frequent/obtrusive symptoms of Mental Illness™ to refer to tmw before i fall asleep, since i have work tonight im so TIRED
(i am there almost every Friday bc the full-timer in that aisle doesn't work Fridays and then basically every night that i need to go help someone because ? i guess they figure we work well together but I HATE BAKE... SO FUCKING MUCH)
testing out the new gentle hand-wash detergent i got on my dirty work clothes... pray it will save me having to schedule laundry days every week and a half on my sparing days off
i am gonna wait until nighttime to take them tho bc the doc said this one often functions as like. a bit of an energy booster for a lot of people, and being a graveyard shift bitch, it would be better for me to have that boost in the evening LOL
god next week is going to be awful tho. my manager is gonna be out and she has me as one of the only 3 people she trusts to take over some of her duties while she's gone
uh oh sisters
