Spoiler: Unexpected situation at work

Gosh, I wish I was more comfortable with dealing with conflict and/or confrontation head-on.

A part of me regrets bringing up the situation (casual sexist comment that a male coworker made in small talk conversation; it wasn't even directed at me) with my skip-level manager, but I felt like I owed it to my current and potential future female coworkers to inform him about it.

I work with that teammate quite frequently, too, so I know he's a nice dude. Ahhhhh...

ETA: at the time my coworker made the comment, I did immediately call him out on it.

thank you so much, i really appreciate you taking the time to respond.

and good on you for bringing up that comment to your manager. conflict definitely sucks, but even if he is a nice guy, sexist comments aren’t cool, so i’m proud of you for calling him out on it. i’m sure that felt pretty uncomfortable to do. ^^

Oh no, xara. That must hit you really hard to hear the news on top of some things that you already have to deal with. I want to give you a comforting hug if I could to make you feel better. I honestly don't know what else to say but feel free to talk to any one of us if you're feeling down. If you need to take some time away from the forums, that's fine too. Stay strong, xara.

I had a scare with my phone right now. it was stuck on this screen and wouldn’t let me do anything or shut it off

My phone kept going off charge and on charge and this message keeps coming on each time, but it never got stuck on it like this. my phone finally restarted somehow on its own. it still is doing that; i got a new base to the charge and phone cord to charge and it still is doing it so it is definitely my phone. Tomorrow I’ll be going to get a new one. I really don’t want to since they cost so much and I don’t like leaving the house (but i want it right away).

Feeling self conscious about my art. I want to draw people/characters better - and just draw better in general. I can’t help but doubt that I’ll get there. I am having a lot of fun still and actually am not they unhappy right now about my art; just having a moment of doubt.

My mood is a bit crappy though. Still worried about the cats and bothered by other things.

This freakin BlackHawk company AAAAAAA

I've had to call them 3 times just to send an email to fix my issue with my card that has clearly been scammed. This whole situation feels more and more scammy cause I have to keep sending info they already got! I don't have a credit card so its not like I can use that online but after this I'm applying for one.

Edit: checked the Twitter and the only comments they have (which is like 1 comment for every 5 posts) talks about the crappy customer service and how they never resolve the issue. Shoulda checked sooner ig.

Also my parents are being a pain in the *** with not helping me with this whole credit card situation. Idfk what I'm doing and it looks like there's only one card I can apply for, but they won't help me with it cause 'now isn't the time'. Wtf not? You're at home not doing anythin, why do I have to wait for who knows when one of them can yell at me while I do the application process?

Some days I just really strongly dislike my parents.

Sick of all the naysayers saying that apartments under 1K don’t exist or laughing when I say that I’m looking for a small studio apartment under $700. I’m not making millions a year and I would never get approved for something over $700. I’ll only be making about $13 to $15 an hour and yes I’ll be working full time, but that’s not going to get me approved for an apartment that’s $1K.
I’ve found cheaper apartments on a website but of course someone had to jump in and say “those prices or wrong” and “they fluctuate and you have to call to get the exact price.” I know for a damn fact that there are people making less than that $13-$15 an hour and they got apartments. Like I’m sorry, but I’m not having this strict criteria that make it impossible to find something affordable. I don’t need “a mansion 3 bedrooms in a really nice area with everything in walking distance even though I have a car” like maybe some people aren’t as picky as you. My dad lives in a real nice neighborhood paying $770 for a one bedroom so I know that’s not true that “apartments under 1K don’t exist.”
Sorry for my rant but I hate my current city.

My client is getting their house bombed for cockroaches tomorrow and they insist that they can leave all of their food out on their table. Even the bug guy told them to put it in their car, but they won’t because it interferes with them going to karaoke later. I can not understand it because the last time I couldn’t even step into their house without feeling sick let alone eat food that was present while it’s being done. Bombing is very toxic and unhealthy. I’m a little concerned that they’re going to hurt themselves. I’m just glad that they no longer have pets.

I’m in a really really bad mood right now for many reasons. Just need to vent. (Sorry)

• Was not productive at all today at work and I have a looming deadline that’s going to be near impossible to make (aka really stressed right now)
• I really need to send off job applications but that didn’t happen today again as I was late so I didn’t have time in the morning and at lunch break I left since I was also in a bad mood
• FedEx still has my package for my boyfriend’s birthday gift that was last weekend and I don’t want to deal with my anxiety to call them right now
• My head, neck and back all ache
• I don’t want to make the 45min drive home on the major accident prone highway right now (emphasis on needing a new job again)

Just ugh

Now I have to fill out an incident report stating that I warned them that they could get sick if they leave their food in the house because if they get sick then it’s on file that I told them.

steam cleaners came back a second time and the pee smell is greatly improved. unfortunately, there is still one pee spot remaining and we will have to schedule again for a spot treatment :c at least the whole living room doesnt smell anymore. also we found out that hoa wont turn on the heating until winter, but its already been very cold at night so looks like we will be getting a space heater. i cant figure out if not having access to heat is legal or not in colorado, but im so tired of dealing with the landlord who minimizes our complaints and practically calls us liars d: its pretty much not worth it to reach out to her

also the neighbors now have a giant untrained dog that barks so loudly and bares its teeth at you and lunges when you just walk out to the back porch. hopefully the dog calms down after theyve lived here some, but its pretty terrifying. its a very powerful breed so its even more important for the owners to make sure they take time to train it and walk/run it to get rid of excess energy. thankfully the dog was leashed when i went onto the back porch bc our porches are only about 6 feet apart with no fencing or other barrier. tbh though will the way it was lunging and barking and growling and showing me the scary face i am fearful of what will happen if it ever gets off leash. hopefully it wont happen again bc i get so tense walking out onto the back porch now

I read some pretty scathing reviews of a place I'm interviewing with, so that's not exactly something that's giving me much hope for the future. I'd like to think I won't have those problems, but it'll be quite the journey to see how it really is. I think it could be worth the experience, though. I was never really planning on staying there for more than a few years to be honest.

Turns out the reviews are 100% correct which makes this decision way easier. Definitely not worth it.

Also, a client gave me a(n admittedly deserved) negative review, but their writing is definitely misleading. Luckily I think this was just a one-off. Still bummed, though. I wish there was a way to make comments on it. I provided the student with the answer after the session, so hopefully they understand and feel differently. Just give me time to think through!

I know earlier I mentioned something about people getting mad at me for making a decision that made me happy. They didn’t know any of the context of the situation.

They still don’t, but now there’s even more rumors about things not even relating to my decision. People I thought were my good friends turned out to just be fake and tell others lies about me. This is ridiculous. I just don’t know what to do, but I’m tired of it.

One of the people ended up telling my best friend that I was only friends with her because I felt bad for her. I’m so, so, mad right now. Why all this because of a decision that didn’t concern you? Something that made me happy for once? To think that I stayed with you for so long during all your hardships, for you to just do this to me?
