How are you doing? - Kiwi Farms Wellness Check

Fuck's sake man, I just don't know what to do. I was invited to a wedding on the same period I have a surgery scheduled. The wedding is very important to one side of the family and everyone will be going, and I can set the surgery so it happens the week after it, and even the medic says it's more convenient for him and his team, the problem is: the other side of the family HATES the one that's having the wedding, and it's trying to keep me from going because she's a manipulative piece of shit, and is trying to make me have the surgery the week BEFORE, so I'll be in recovery the day of the wedding, and she won't stop yelling at me and insulting me until I do what SHE wants, but she swears it's for my sake, because "I care so much about you, and no one cared about me, I AM HELPING YOU BE GRATEFUL". I'm seriously considering calling the surgeon and tell him to make up an excuse to not have the surgery the week before, I'M NOT MISSING AN IMPORTANT EVENT BECAUSE OF A 53 YEAR OLD ADULT HAVING A TANTRUM AND REFUSING TO MOVE ON.
Two weeks from now, would you be happier to have gone to the wedding, or have avoided a rashy cunt's hissy fit?
 
I tried to unwatch the Israel Palestine thread and accidentally unwatched everything. Currently going through the stages of grief.

I'm almost home though. Yesterday I had lunch in Nashville and dinner in Memphis, which is a cool itinerary. The fact that Beale Street is still a good time on a Monday night in January in the post-holiday slump when you're newly sober is probably the best endorsement I could possibly give a place, will definitely be going back.

Good year so far.
 
Good luck and I hope he does understand where you are coming from. It might be enough to get him to change a bit if confronted like that. We can both hope anyway.
The long story short is (long post inc.), it's a business we're both passionate for. He said he had a name (he does...), a logo, branding thought out, and some designs. He's also, supposedly, known in the local scene. All cool. I have the skills to make the shit a reality and the knowledge for manufacturing. Or at least enough to get it going; it's my profession.

Turns out, he does have a name, he has a "logo" which is basically chicken scratch, the branding is "you know, like this", no concepts for the branding he has yet to show me any designs claiming he wants to redo them because he can't draw, when I asked him if he was drawing orthographic views, he didn't know what it was and when I showed him you can just get blueprints for the fucking thing and draw on that (a complaint was that he wasn't drawing to scale etc...); his excuse was "I don't have a printer". Nigger, to make one of these things will cost several grand and not having a printer stopped you? You could go to the library, UPS, your fucking job, you can find printers on the god damned street.

He's a good crowd man and salesman; or at the very least he can act like a fool and people seem to eat it up. Even if he were to do nothing he could still be useful. But considering I have the time, money, and know how to do this; I'd prefer a partner who actually will back up his "this is my dream" nonsense.
I'll probably talk to him soon about this; I'm currently going the passive aggressive route per se, in giving him the supplies he needs and seeing if he does anything. He's out of a job right now so he has nothing but time. Fucking deliver something. Frankly, if all he wanted to do was be "part of it", be the sales guy, the guy who goes to shows etc, fuck yeah go for it. You're 30% owner, it's now using my name and branding.

I have a couple of businesses I'd like to start focusing on, and one of them is basically me yelling at fucking chinks to make shit vs this where it requires a lot of work.
 
My boss gave me and my colleague more shit today, and I'm pretty much resolved to leave this team now. It's not us, it's definitely her. I hate that I have to do this but it's better I make a change now, before I'm in a much more difficult situation trying to look for a job in this depression we're entering.

She's doing you a favour. Suck it up, be a chameleon, but gtfo.

I've yet to see a female in a position of power who wasn't awful.
 
I need to start physical therapy but I don't know how I'm ever gonna do that- I'm working 80 fucking hours this week and my schedule in general is a nightmare. The entire building is so understaffed they sent out a big message essentially saying "Would you like to try out other working in other departments? It doesn't matter your credentials or experience, talk to us and we'll probably let you if we legally can"

They're hiring all this staff from a nursing home that was so shit it closed. They're rats off a sinking ship! The good ones left a long time ago- these are the ones that didn't get a job until their unemployment ran out- I'm serious, they all say that! They waited as long as possible to get as much money and sit-on-ass time as possible, and then all applied to the same places with their buddies so that they can work with them and continue the bullshit that brought down the other place.

Is it really worth it to fuck up your body for the rest of your life for a shitty job that probably won't even be there in a year?

Just tell her to shut up. She wants you to man up so do it.

She doesn't want me to man up, she wants me to be submissive and do what she wants, and me not bending the knee to her is what causes her tantrums where she won't shut up until she thinks she won. Dealing with her is much harder than you think and would require a massive powerlevely text wall to show why, but I've been insanely lucky this year so far and have gotten a lot of things exactly the way I want them, so I'm hoping the same thing happens with the wedding and surgery dates, because I also like making her seethe when things don't go her way.

maybe get some parenting guides and use the teachings on her? The ones with dealing with temper tantrums should be effective.

Then get some other relative on your side. Usually women have a relative that they don't feel they can step on: favorite sons and siblings, parents, cousins, uncles, etc. They can defuse them discreetly with enough favor. Or you can let herself hang on her rope. Get her so crazy that she loses favor in front of the whole crowd. Maybe even get the cops involved on your side, though it sounds like she has financial cards on you.
 
My boss discussed wanting to sell the business and move to Argentina because he's afraid of nuclear war / biblical prophecy. He was also really impressed with Javier Millei, whom he saw on Tucker. I can't escape weirdness in any part of my life. But it's probably a sign I should look for a new job, I need something a little more regular and maybe less isolated. I spent years trying to build up a social network of people to crush it when moving in an instant. This has been a great job from the beginning though.

I really do want to find a WFH job. I'm good with computers (I imagine anyone on the Farms is) and make some extra cash with my tech wiz genius, but I don't have any real "official" tech qualifications, relevant degrees, certificates, etc.

But the rub is I'm sick of being behind a computer all the time. I don't get a joy at using it anymore. I don't like gaming much anymore. I don't watch much TV or movies these days, mostly just informational youtube videos. I find our culture so *DISGUSTING* these days... and I don't mean on a moral level or anything with prudish implications, necessarily, I just get that feeling you get when you walk into an old house unchanged from the 70s and the walls are puke green and the carpet is poop brown and then there's dark mustard yellow doors...
