What's Bothering You?

I really don't think some of my co-workers understand how much I've been a thorn in everyone's sides. Today I had someone openly complain to one of the higher-ups about my driving habits and that I'm going to "cause an accident". This'll definitely lead to yet another bad chat with the boss next week I'd imagine, even though I don't agree that I'm a bad driver. A few others heard what this person was saying, but they really didn't seem to care about it at all. I even told them that I'm an arrogant co-worker and deserved to get called out like I did, but they gave me the positivity card of defending me and that I mattered to everyone. Pfft. It's all lies. Sooner or later everyone's going to want me gone. I also have strong opinions about the new buses we got (I hate them with a burning passion) and began to treat them poorly, even in front of others. Somehow, writing words in the dirt about how bad they are on their bumpers is a stress reliever. They're truly pieces of junk on wheels.

Oh, and they gave out free lunch to celebrate the retiring employees, but stupid me forgot it was today and I walked in with a sandwich I bought from Subway. I instantly yelled out "Gosh darnit!" (not in THAT way however) and mumbled to everyone angrily that I'm an idiot. They told me to simply put it in the fridge for later, but I refused and ate it anyway. I'm such a jerk to these co-workers and I'm slowly beginning to not feel any remorse about my actions.

Sighhhh there are so many shirts on etsy nowadays that are so sus, like why are there multiple shops selling the same design and where are they getting them from not to mention all the things that look like you know what, if I was selling merch with my designs I would put “HUMAN MADE” in the description and put art process pics, ofc people can lie about that but not putting it in the description adds to my suspicion. Not that artists should have to even do that though because this **** is so stupid and shouldn’t exist!!

sorry if you didn’t want any replies but this reminded me of shops that sell items that include copyrighted characters/content. not that it really bothers me personally but like.. aren’t these companies going to sue you?? i have my own etsy store that i’m trying to start up and i feel like it’s so hard to sell something original.

i’m trying to sell stickers + a few different things and i feel like a lot of the shops selling copyrighted material and fan art (which idk if that’s allowed) as stickers and get big sales but they’re selling them at a loss which i don’t really understand.

Next week I'll train a coworker to take over my role because I'm moving to a different (but not better) role. My feeling about this decision can be another rant post, but I digress. Right now I'm stressing out on what to teach because I'm awful at explaining stuff, and the amount of work that still needs to be completed. I tried my best this week to leave my work queue empty in preparation, but it feels like a losing battle.

I also hate that I can't enjoy playing Rune Factory: GOA because of this responsibility.
 
My dad had screamed at my mom earlier and my mom has had it with him. She is talking again about finding a new house for just me and her and the cats. I don’t blame her since he always takes things out on us, won’t treat his dementia and anxiety, doesn’t listen and gets mad at us when he misinterprets us when he doesn’t listen. Still, I don’t like this talk; it stresses me out. I can’t deal with this. It feels like everything is falling apart again: this and other things that I just want to be done with. I’m tired. I wish we never moved here and still lived at the other house. I hope she drops this talk and the though soon, even though neither of us deserve to be lashed out at by my dad. We can’t ask a simple question without him getting aggravated or treating us like we’re stupid. I’m hoping that my mom was just venting to me.

No replies or dms please.

Last night, I had a dream about getting the Switch 2 for my birthday. It, like all dreams, seemed real. It was a little odd that July 6 had approached so fast, but dream me didn’t care. I noticed a large box, and I tore open the wrapping paper. When I saw what it was, I was so happy. It was the Switch 2, bundled with Mario Kart World. After that, things got kinda hazy. But I do remember feeling extremely happy. When I woke up this morning, I realized that it was all a dream. I felt disappointed. It seemed so real. But there were some things about my dream that seemed very odd; things that wouldn’t happen IRL. For example, when I was playing Donkey Kong Bananza, the game wasn’t anything like it was advertised in the trailers. It was sort of like Mario vs Donkey Kong. When I was playing Mario Kart World, the gameplay seemed very off. It was weird. But when I’m dreaming, I don’t actually realize I’m in a dream. Waking up this morning to realize that my birthday hadn’t come to pass and realizing that I didn’t own a Switch 2 was disappointing. I guess this dream proves how badly I want the console. ☹️

So yeah, my dream was disappointing. Everything seemed so real. At one point, I was somehow in Breath of the Wild swimming in a muddy lake trying to catch fish. I remember seeing a Yiga Blademaster staring at me from a distance, shaking his head in confusion. Yep, even the weirdest and unnatural parts of a dream still fool me into thinking it’s reality. Even though it obviously isn’t.

Ok, that’s enough yapping.

Life Lesson: Don’t trust your dreams, no matter how real they may seem. When you wake up, you’ll either be relieved or disappointed. (I know the wording is kinda bad and that this life lesson is kinda useless.)
 
To those talking about Etsy, that place really fallen from where they once were. They aren't really a place to get handmade experiences anymore. The people in charge are more concerned about shareholders keeping an interest so let so much through the cracks. They lost all of their integrity and I don't trust shopping there. No one should have to go through so many hoops and do hours of extensive research to feel like they're getting a true handmade experience on a site that claims that's what it is.

Dropshippers, things you could buy on Temu/AliExpress marked up 200%, AI is all over the place, and people are selling spells, hexes, and curses??? People who take your money and vanish. It's such a pathetic place anymore and I'm surprised it hasn't faded into obscurity.

So quit. If you're not happy, leave. Find a job you like. No reason to be miserable.

I'm pretty sure I told my boss at one point that I'm not finding joy out of the job anymore, and the idea's been on my mind for a little bit. However, I am also concerned about what I should do next. I've been previously suggested to seek someone who could do some job searching for me to find out where I could apply my skills, as I haven't really found anything on Indeed that interests me. I'm probably not searching hard enough in the first place, or am always turned off by the tough qualifications these places seek. I don't have a college degree (and will likely never get one), but I'm not going to let that stop me.

I even thought about joining a different district, specifically one with a fleet of buses I won't complain a ton about. For whatever reason I always find stuff insanely wrong with these new vehicles because they bother my OCD so much and they're built very poorly. I think what got me all worked up about it in the first place is when one of the students I transported cut their leg on the bottom of the seat (the metal part just below the cushion) when they sat down on this new bus. The culprit was a screw that was oddly sharp, and I noticed afterward that all the seats had the same exact type of screws. After that, I encountered problem after problem, writing it up every week, and my complaining got so bad that they decided to put me in a different vehicle manufactured by a different company. I could tell right away that it was a dramatic difference in quality. At first they were going to simply put me in an older vehicle manufactured by the company I don't like, but successfully convinced them how bad of an idea that would be.

I'm just angry about the fact that barely anyone seems to be on the same page as me when it comes to me pointing out these things, or just mute them out completely and pretend nothing's wrong. The district decided to go cheap, and this is the result. I hate it.
 
i'm really worried about our cat Boo. Her mood is normal and she seems cheerful and happy, but she's pretty old now (17) and she's been losing her appetite over the weekend. My dad was able to feed her a small bit of plain cooked chicken today, but we couldn't entice her with anything else. not old favorites, not new food, wet, dry, nothing. We're gonna get in touch with the vet first thing tomorrow morning. I'm praying it'll be something we can get treated like a dental issue/etc., but at her age I'm really afraid it's a sign we might be about to lose her
 
I think I’m starting to feel overstimulated. Probably good time to go offline for now. I don’t want to get involved any further and just hope for an update soon.

Remind me to never download worlds from the internet into Minecraft ever again.

I meant to post this on Friday, but I forgot.

Friday afternoon shortly after I made the post about finding a hard drive: Excited, I went to plug it in to my phone. But NOOO. Everything has to be unnecessarily COMPLICATED. The plug didn't fit. It was TOO BIG. I searched the internet for answers. What I found was absolutely horrifying. Apple made their plugs smaller to MAKE SURE THAT HARD DRIVES WOULD NOT FIT. THEY DID THIS SO PEOPLE WOULD FEEL PRESSURED TO PURCHASE MORE STORAGE. WHERE DOES THE CORPORATE GREED END? FIRST NINTENDO, AND NOW APPLE???
So... I need to buy a lighting plug thingy to connect it to my phone and THEN the hard drive can get the data. I've spent the weekend looking for this thing, but I had no luck. I refuse to go to Target and Best Buy to avoid the Switch 2.
Friday afternoon- CVS. Result- Nope.
This afternoon- Staples. Result- Nope.

I don't understand why this process has to be so COMPLICATED.

Remind me to NEVER do this EVER AGAIN.
