Had a bit of a scheduling fuck-up with my new job today. I'd been scheduled for a 3 - 11pm shift, but got it switched to a 7-3pm instead.
So I turn up at 7, only to be told it was a mistake and I was back on the late. So I go home and back to bed for a few hours, when my boss calls and tells me it's been a mistake, and can I come back in 'til 3.

I hope this won't be a regular thing.

Well, the schedule seems to have settled down, and the summer rush is over. I liking this job a lot more now.

Im in a mentally bad place right now.
So last week my dad had a heart attack on thursday
i told my fiance that on thursday as i was still trying to process it all.
i only found out yesterday that she hadnt called or message my parents at all.

despite we were going to marry on September 15th
im in a position where my family overall dislikes her
and i have to decide to continue or call off the wedding,

yeah... my gf of 2 years and an additional year and a half engaged didnt bother to check on my parents when my dad had a heart attack.

Someone, anyone... help me.

Okay so I wanted to respond to these but then we went down.
NO WORRIES!
One of my biggest fears is loosing my dad. The man did such an amazing job that I respect him.
One, I hope your dad recovers.
Two, pause. Seriously pause and just be with your thoughts for a bit. Look around you and really observe what you see. This is a technique used to distract yourself if you are feeling overwhelmed.

i have talked to her about it last night, (the night i found out after work hours)
then this morning
and i mean.. my parents did so much for her. even offered, paid and gifted her a huge renovation to my house for her
along with other things...

It seems like she might be having a hard time fitting into this situation.
I would sit her down and tell her what you need. Is it talking? Is it to visit your family? Is it just presence?
Then you two talk about how to get that done. If she is struggling with that you guys should get couples counceling.

See your doctor but melatonin helps me.
The other is to tense your muscles and then relax them.
Good luck guys.

Very hard day today with anemia-induced fatigue. We took the usual Tuesday morning short walk, less than a mile. Had a great breakfast with a good deal of food that had iron. Started getting hit by waves of fatigue as I finished the meal. Still finished the housecleaning, got the laundry done, just had to rest more than usual between tasks. Felt better in the afternoon after lunch. Got hit with more fatigue this evening. Going to wash the dishes in a bit. My wife works full-time plus; not letting her do housework or dishes.

Sure hope hematologist gets a handle on what's causing the anemia soon. The fatigue is the most apparent symptom of the anemia, blood looks the same.

Car's acting up again. I was driving the old girl yesterday and I see "check gauges" light up. Turns out my battery voltage gauge was all the way on the right (ie max). I pull over, turn it off and on and it's fine but it popped back up again a minute later. With my small knowledge and a multimeter it seems like my car's battery voltage is fine while on and off. But I can't really check it while driving 45 mph.

My first hope is maybe the cables or other connecting bits are dirty and it's just messing with the sensor. I also noticed my engine oil was way low because my dumb self was overdue for one. So I went to get a two-fer or oil change and battery terminal cleaning. I don't think they touched the cables though. So I'll see how she drives.

I've spent a bit on repairing my car because I can't afford a whole new (even used) one. But I hope this is just a simple fix and not, like, the alternator or something.

Could be the alternator belt. Cheaper and easier fix than a new alternator.

Big day for me. I've been in an abusive situation at work for many years about which I was forced to be silent lest I ruin my career, and today I hopefully get to talk to some important higher-ups about all that has happened. They won't take action and nothing will change, but it'll be the only vindication I will ever get. I hope I can find some peace with it all after, at least I can unburden myself.

I'm sorry friend, I know that feeling very well, unfortunately. I hope things get a little better for you soon. No one can ask you to be perfect, no one is. ❤️

if you're in the US, pretty much any drug store like walgreens. in the UK you have to get a prescription for it which sucks.
i've used it for years and i think i've finally gotta talk to my doctor about something long-term

Still having this issue with my gums. In retrospect, I'm pretty sure this started after I burnt the roof of my mouth a few weeks ago. I think the swelling ended up pushing shit into my gums and gave me some sort of infection or something. The symptoms seem pretty consistent with it. Still haven't been getting any bleeding though, which is weird. I didn't have any visible tartar build up prior to this, so I'm confused as to why this happened. I thought this shit only happened to meth head slobs that don't clean their mouth, but I guess that's not always the case. I'll be going to the dentist tomorrow to figure out wtf is going on. I just hope this shit is easily treatable.

On the plus side, it looks like the swelling I've been getting in my left ankle (that was causing my foot to swell) has finally gone away after months. My rashes seem to have subsided for the most part too. I can actually take hot showers again! I'm sure it'll come back eventually, but I'm going to enjoy this while it lasts. I still have another two months before I can see that rheumatologist.

Feeling terrible and hopeless, worse than I’ve felt for a long time. I can’t measure up, I can’t meet expectations, I’m trying my best. Afraid I will lose everything that matters.

Life's hard and the people in your life might bail but you're alive right now. There's a you that succeeds in this front somehow and you know it and as long as you have that, you'll make it. We were all made to get better at this stuff.

Scrambled eggs and cheese are fucking delicious and a pretty healthy meal, so that's always a win.

Good luck, I hope it's a nothingburger. Teeth and mouth problems abolutely suck and it's good that you're getting it checked out.

Pretty shit. I am quitting/getting fried from my job, had a falling out with a good friend, and my birthday is coming up soon with nothing to celebrate and no one to celebrate with. Probably going to just back pack around the country for a bit before leaving to greener pastures.
Click to expand...
I've been feeling like escaping since I broke up with my fiancee, if you have the means and the will to back pack, do it. I wish I wasn't pushing 40 and had the ability to just fuck off again like I did when I was 19.

i've been thinking about how i would feel if the farms went down. i only joined this year, but i've lurked for much longer, and i've been reading this thread every few days since it's inception. i'm a stranger on the internet, with whom most of you may not agree on most topics, and as silly as it may be for me to express, i want you to know that i love you all, fam.

social pariahs that some of us may be, i'm still grateful to know that there are, and always will be, kiwifarmers in the world. :heart-full:

Totalled my car last week - got my transmission ripped out and an axle almost snapped. Not a single scratch to me, though, and my insurance is actually giving me a decent amount as the car’s value, so it could have been a lot worse.

Not super excited to have another car payment less than a year after paying off my last one, and dealing with used car salesman sucks ass, but I’ll hopefully be back in a car by September.

Great day at work though. Got to take a bunch of pictures foe a projec.t
