What's Bothering You?

[-Blue-]

Ordered a birthday gift online on 3rd May. The birthday was the 15th May and I still haven't received it.
All I receive from their customer services is AI responses.
Told to wait until the 24th May until they investigate where it is and if not received get back in touch. Got back in touch yesterday and told to wait until 25th they're sure it'll come and they'll start up an investigation.

So frustrating the fact you can't speak to someone. Any displeasure posted by me is met with repeated automated responses.
Apart from this the gift is of no longer use to me as I had to buy something else last minute.
I should have read latest reviews as they are abysmal. It was reputable company when on the high Street.

Hopefully you can get this resolved! Dealing with online issues like this is such a pain. It's one thing when it's an awful carrier experience like FedEx it's another thing when it hasn't even been shipped. Is this a place like Etsy or Ebay? Because you can escalate the situation so you can get your money back. If they're past due with their window 'item not received'. I know when I used Etsy I always had nothing but problems. Sellers would keep purchases as pretransit forever, which is a dropshipper red flag.

Some people treat those places like a hobby, but when money is involved it stops being just a hobby and is also a business. Good luck!

All things considered, I had a nice day so far but I don't know..still just feeling a bit off.
It's my vacation and so I'm trying to splurge a bit. However, at the same time, I find it anxiety inducing having come from a very unstable childhood home (emotional and financial) even though we are stable.

On the other hand, I think my hormones are all over because I recently stopped breastfeeding and so I think things are trying to sort themselves out.

Lastly, I have some plans with a coworker that I'm close to and another coworker has tried to invite themselves to those plans and I'm not quite sure I want to really. I think I still feel some hurt by how I was treated during my pregnancy at work that had high risk/complications. So i kinda just want to keep it just a me and work bestie day. But now I'll have to think of an excuse to say no or something.

I decided to DIY a denim jacket I bought secondhand... I ruined it and it's likely to fall apart in the wash. I also ironed on some patches onto it so it'll be hard to remove them. I'm such a ****ing idiot. :\

I’m okay, just a little anxious about a message. When I get excited about something, I tend to ramble. I’m a bit worried it came out like I was acting like a know it all, when that is the last thing I wanted to happen. I also worry it was an inappropriate time to discuss it. I meant to only say yes I’d be happy to talk more. Instead I got carried away . I think I’m most likely fine but I’m still anxious.

I went out to get some drinks at a store and I hate how I always get angsty even though consciously I wasn’t anxious.

My phone randomly decided to die. Well, the phone is working, I think, and to be fair only the screen is black, buuut I'm not sure if the touchscreen is working. Still, it's so over for him.

I was very worried about my Pocket Camp save but I quickly found that there is software that lets you connect the phone to the PC and operate it from there. So I tried it and it worked. I could play ACPC on my phone from my PC. Buuut when I wanted to upload the save to the servers I kept getting one error over and over. Panic mode second round.

Next step was to find out how the save is stored on the phone and if it can simply be copied to another device. Luckily yes!!! That was the moment I realised that from this day forward I need to frequently back up my save. I have never thought about this before but it's quite obvious since the save is stored on the phone only. So yeah, I managed to test the files on my old phone and it's all working. Yay.

Copying all the photos and other files was so much easier.

And looking for a new device is a pain. I wish the broken one had given me some signs that his time was coming so I would have had more time to choose his successor.

tech support guy hasn't answered my email for hours. i hope he's actually doing something lmao because my pc has been down for a week now, and we're no closer to resolving the issue even though we know it seems to be the drive causing it. i realize he might be the only tech support guy and/or could have a lot of tickets but it's very frustrating to only get in like four emails throughout the Entire day, and idk how many more i'm meant to waste on troubleshooting. just send a replacement part?

I wish I could post my artwork on here but my computer is too old/slow lately and every time I try to upload from mobile it says the files are too large

What I do when posting on mobile is crop the images slightly, maybe this might work for you too?

I feel as if I'll never break out of this endless cycle of anxiety. It's keeping me from doing things that I wanna accomplish in my life and it keeps holding me back. I just need to learn how to come to terms with the fact that there's just some things in life that's out of my control.

Thanks I’ll give that a try update! I was able to go into an image resized site and resize my images so I can post them now

I have to get a physical for my new job. Fine, whatever. What's bothering me is they need to take my blood. I've never had blood drawn before and I'm terrified. I've been told you can feel it leaving your body. Plus my own blood makes me dizzy and on the verge of passing out (I can deal with other people's blood and animal blood fine). I'm just terrified.

Whenever I say anything and my dad is in the room, he treats me like I’m stupid. He always thinks he is right and no one else. I’m making spring rolls and i remember last each time I made them before the over never made a sound when it was done preheating, my dad kept saying yes it does when I remember clearly and my mom was there at the time and she didn’t hear it buzz either since this oven doesn’t; our oven at the other house did though. Whenever I say anything (not just this) he either looks at me like what is wrong with me or his tone of voice is that I’m stupid. This is why I avoid conversations with him or with my mom when he is in the room or home since he likes to butt in and be rude, also why I stay in my room.

I’m overall okay; I’m going to watch more One Piece for now and try not focus on the negative stuff.

HELP.

I can't get the Grazzy Breath of the Wild data downloaded on my phone to my Switch. I don't have realms, and people online said you need it in order to transfer data. The files were downloaded from the link off of YouTube and were saved to my iCloud storage. But they're all saved as a mess of files. I need help with this transfer. Any advice is appreciated.

It's bugging me that this transfer has to be so complicated. I just want to play Breath of the Wild in Minecraft.

(And no, I don't own Minecraft on a computer. I don't even have a laptop for personal use. I need to rely on my Switch for this.)

Hi Jelly! I hope it's okay to reply.

I've had my blood taken a few times. It's really important to stay hydrated before the test - it'll make it easier for the nurses to find your veins!

You absolutely do not have to look while they're drawing the blood. I've always looked away and continued chatting with the nurses and that's totally fine. They expect that patients won't want to watch their blood being taken!

I personally have never felt the blood being taken, so I'll keep my fingers crossed it's the same for you.

If you're really concerned about potentially seeing the blood and having a fainting spell mention that to the nurses! I've always sat while having my blood taken but there's typically beds in the room for people who may need to lay down.

Tonight, I was playing Breath of the Wild, riding my horse to Hateno Village. I was very tired at the time, and I just figured, "I'll close my eyes for a minute while I wait for my horse to take me to point B. (BTW, horses automatically follow roads if you have a high enough bond with them.)
So 'a minute' turned into 10. I accidentally fell asleep. Uh oh. I woke up, and I found myself going in the opposite direction, and my horse was way behind me. I saw a few Bokoblins and a Yiga Footsoldier in the area. I paused the game, and I muttered to myself, "Aw, shirt."
I managed to get myself back on track by defeating the enemies. Thankfully, I didn't sustain too much damage. Had I slept any longer, and I probably would've gotten a game over.

Take this as a lesson, people. Don't fall asleep while playing video games. This might happen to you.

You're not an idiot! You can't learn how to make a proper battle jacket without a test run. But also, based on your art thread, I'm thinking it's not nearly as bad as you think it is.

So... how many Megadeth patches was it? Lol

Completely fine to reply! Thank you for doing so I appreciate the insight and tips.

I read the about hydration! I'm going to drink a lot, especially since I'm chunky and worry my veins are hard to see. I'm going to definitely ask to lay down too and maybe ask if they can take the blood from my leg instead of my arm so I dont see or feel it as much. Here's hoping I come out relieved that everything was easy!

I’m so ****ing pathetic

I’m so stressed. Still need to take my medicine so hopefully that and watching anime will help. I haven’t been able to focus on anything else largely because I’ve been really anxious about some stuff.
