I hate writing cover letters. I hate writing resumes as well but cover letters are even worse - at least with resumes I'm mostly just listing the responsibilities my previous jobs have had and it's a smaller section about ~my qualifications~ whereas the cover letter is basically just about me. I hate it. I hate writing about why I think I'd be good for a job and needing to highlight my skills and whatnot. It makes me feel like a liar, lmao. I don't think I'm good at anything and I hate needing to do what feels like lying!! I don't feel like I have any workplace skills but I need a job
I'm so frustrated and stressed. I hate covid. I hate not working with kids. I hate feeling like my entire career path has been turned upside down. Working with kids is really the only thing I know how to do and it's the only thing I know I really enjoy. But I'm not exactly thrilled at the idea of working with like 20 small kids who are still learning how to cover their coughs in the middle of a pandemic, especially when many places still don't have good circulation or proper, openable windows in many classrooms to make things even worse. The whole thing is a big joke - there's never been a way to socially distance toddlers but childcare teachers have been expected to just. Be fine with that I guess. I know it's bad for elementary and above school teachers too right now. Our province is a ****ing joke with our like. 30 kid classroom sizes. You can't socially distance a room with 30 kids in it. You just can't. It's even more dangerous since guess who's allowed to teach the vulnerable children? ****ing unvaccinated people. ~They need to get a bi-weekly covid test~ so??? You think they only have covid on Tuesday and Thursday??? What About Monday??? Wednesday???? Friday??? They've got time to spread it before they're tested and sure teachers still have to wear masks but not when they're eating. Or drinking. And don't get me started on the people who purposefully wear their masks wrong or wear mask "alternatives" that don't stop the spread.
And since I'm here venting anyways I am so sick and tired of people who refuse to get vaccinated, refuse to wear masks, but still insist that they deserve to go out and party or get on ****ing planes to go on vacations, or work with kids or other vulnerable people, or do whatever else with the general population. This should've been under control by now. But it's not. Schools are re-opening and everybody is basically just waiting for it to all go wrong and for them to close by Christmas break like last year. It's a god damn cycle but unvaccinated people are sitting there with their fingers in their damn ears going, "lalalalalala not my faultttttt!!! Nothing to do with me!!!! my body my choice (lmaoooo the irony when that's a ****ing phrase for the right to have an abortion and so many of these anti-vaxxers are also anti-choice) I want to see a movie in theatres so I will!!!!!" instead of being a ****ing adult about things. We had a ****ing protest in my town and people are comparing vaccines to... segregation. Like. Racial segregation. Because we are maybe implementing a vaccine passport that states on September 22nd the unvaccinated people can't dine in at restaurants, go to bars, the movies, the gym, or other things like that. They can still go retail shopping though, go to the mall, get their hair and nails done, etc.
I'm just so grumpy and exhausted. If this was too mean then the mods are free to delete it. Idk. I'm just tired. I wish I was able to just ~act like nothing is happening~ because ~I'm vaccinated so what's the big deal?~ but I have this wonderful thing called anxiety. As in an actual anxiety disorder not cute little nerves. So this pandemic? Yeah. Been absolutely lovely. Super thrilled with crying all the time, having panic attacks, somehow managing to put on weight while also having an upset stomach at
least once a week but usually more. I've been a ****ing wreck this whole time and I am just. done.
While I agree with you about humans being selfish, throughout the years I've met some nice people in these forums. They've been enocuraging lately in a moment when I need emotional support. So, I know that some people in the world at least try. I feel sad for you if you believe not having anyone like that in your surroundings.
