How are you doing? - Kiwi Farms Wellness Check

There's some stuff going on at work that's driving me nuts.

My crew's workload has doubled this year. A few months ago, I requested to hire a couple more guys because I couldn't handle it all with my current crop. I got my guys finally but I didn't get to pick who we hired, which I've been able to do in the past. They also came about two months too late to be as useful as I'd have liked but we managed regardless. This week was their first week. So far, one of them managed to break a very expensive piece of equipment and the other is faking having the coof I'm pretty sure. They don't really mesh well with everyone else and I wouldn't have hired them. Based on how many contracts we're getting for next year, I'm gonna need to hire more and I can't deal with more fuckups.

A couple of the sales guys have been signing contracts without consulting my master schedule and promising work within timeframes that are currently 120% booked. I've spoken to all of them and none of these fuckers get it. Last week, a new client wanted work done asap when I've told the sales guy we're booked completely for the next three months and this peckerwood needs to sneed. The client had none of it and went on a massive email tirade until the vp of sales bent over and spread and fucked up my entire September schedule over an account that's worth less than a week's pay. Now we have a precedent that a client can bawl as loud as he can and upstairs will roll over like a cheap whore. I'm irate. The consequences of this fucky wucky are worth MUCH more than that account.

Everything is stacking up and if I didn't have a long weekend coming up I'd probably have said something I'd regret

edit: and I still haven't been able to sink time into AC6.

Honestly I'm not sure which would have been worse. I feel like if I watched PBS I would have become a redditor.

Excuse you? Did you not regularly rotate between Fox Box, Kids WB, PBS Kids, Jeopardy, Wheel of Fortune, and then the 10PM news like every other kid who grew up without cable or satellite?
 
Doing okay right now, nearing the end of my reading list, turning 24 in mid October. Have been bitten by this ambition bug lately, and I've been doing a lot of housework recently. I feel like if I keep this up, I'm going to become a more productive person, reading habits aside (read for 1-2 hours a day on average). I've got a relative visiting us in September, and I'm looking forward to it since I've always gotten along with him.
 
Well, without getting into much detail, for a long time my life has been affected by the things I have very little control over and now I am on the verge of giving up. People, who I expected to be supportive, either left me or actively make things worse. I see very little point in carrying on since even if all of this blows over, there is nothing left for me afterwards. My creativity is dead, my motivation is gone and I think about giving in to this shit since what do I get from fighting? Nothing, just more time wasted.

Take care, people.
 
My car got hit yesterday. Me and everyone else involved is ok, but my car is totaled. Which sucks, because the rest of the day was good, great even. I have full coverage and good insurance, so I'm covered there. I'm just going to agree with the citation and eat the fine, I don't want to fight this. Small plus side, new beater to find. Downside, I was gonna help a buddy move today.
 
My partner is really really sick but is starting to get better. I haven't completed many of the tasks I intended to do this week, and I'm running out of time until I'll be forced to beg for some things.

I saw a waterfall I had never seen before today. It really helped with everything going on. Highly suggest. Also, started using the Seek app while I was outside to learn about plants I didnt know. It worked really well and was a lot of fun.
 
I'm trying to be a more positive person because being negative is easy. I won't lie, I've been struggling a bit.
I'm not going to lie to you, getting over that sort of feeling varies for everyone. Honestly the only thing I can say is that it's going to suck for a while, until it doesn't.

Damn, sorry to hear that brother. I remember reading about how much work you have into it. Glad everyone is OK though.
