How are you doing? - Kiwi Farms Wellness Check

[The Feline Solution 2]

Pretty fucking great day all in all. Left the house early today to visit my cousin for lunch, haven't seen him in a month which is unusual for us, normally we see each other on a weekly basis. Met my nephew (technichally my cousin's kid but due to italian conventions he's my nephew, love that kid as if it was my own son either way) on the way by chance, love to hear my name shouted across the street and it's not just some cunt when i turn around to said shout. Had sardinian wild boar stew and polenta for lunch, plus two bottles of wine accompanying it. Spent the rest of the day there and absolutely DOMINATED my 7 year old niece in Uno, she fucked me up in Jenga afterwards (she cheats though).

Wading through the shitskin hordes on public transit right now, feeling pretty Ice Cube:

Not even making this up, homeless woman just sking me for change while i'm waiting for my subway and typing this up, i ask her why she has no shoes on and she just waves me off, what the fuck? Rude

I got stung by a bee for the first time in over 20 years, forgot how much it hurts, lol. Little bastard flew up my sleeve when I was running and at first I thought I got snagged by a bramble. Thankfully I'm not allergic and it healed very quickly.

Had a funny conversation with one of my oldest friends about the time in 2nd(?) grade she took me to the nurse for a bee sting, which I misremembered as me taking her for the sting. I think I had it confused with the time I took her in for a soccer ball to the nose. Though that happened to me a few times also. The nurse knew me VERY well.

I am making poor choices. Which are distracting me from all the good choices I'm avoiding.

Currently failing at the dating scene. I honestly wish it wouldn't come to me wasting the prime years of my life because I can't find someone to make a family with.
I still hate remembering the times my classmate during college desperately flirted with me and I was a idiot for not noticing the whole time. That classmate moved to greener pastures after we graduated.

I think there is hardly any man alive who hasn't these exact same regrets about one girl/woman, me included. Feels. I think of her sometimes to this day, after not having been in school for a million years. The proverbial one that got away, at least that's how my memory wants to paint it in hindsight.

It wasn't even the one who got away, it was the one I was so fucking retarded I never even figured out she had the hots for me.

[Lingering butter taste]

Call me sensitive but I hate how media normalizes and makes jokes about the shit I went through as a child. Beating the ever loving shit out of your kid is just a “funny thing black people do”. It took me till 18 to find out “spanking” is supposed to be on the ass and not at your face. It took me till 18 to find out being hit with the buckle isn’t normal. It took me till 18 to find out being hit with a charger isn’t normal. It took me till 18 to find out being hit with a fucking dictionary isn’t normal.

Maybe if the media stopped joking about it I would’ve found out sooner, now it’s too late to even confront my parents about it. What’s even funny about a kid getting his shit rocked? What the fuck is wrong with people?

 

[Juan But Not Forgotten]

A person I was extremely close with, but who eventually betrayed me during the worst time of my life has died. I don't know how to feel about it. I thought, I would feel relief and let it finally go, but now I am just very sad it ended this way. I can't even put my finger on why exactly, just sad, period.

Well, I have mostly moved on, but today found out how they died and... It wasn't something out of horror movie, but still terrible. What's worse considering my circumstances I've got all the chances to end up the same way. Maybe putting a bullet in my head in the nearest future is the best way out I can get, but I really don't want to think about it. I know that life works in the most mysterious ways, maybe better things are waiting ahead, but so is misery, I know it too well.

Oh, I got a certified letter from the legal department of my old job. They want me to sign a non compete, to be back dated, to 14 years ago, stating I can't work with low and medium voltage without prior approval.

What are they actually threatening? Why do they think they can require anything of you now?

Talk to a lawyer, bc noncompetes are regulated by state, but under general common law principles, unless they're offering you new and substantial consideration (money) for that, it's likely unenforceable on a couple different bases (consideration, reasonableness of scope, retroactivity, etc.). Again, ask a lawyer in your/their state, but based on what you've said I can't see what legal reason they have to demand it. And doesn't sound like there's much in the way of proprietary info (secret formulas or anything like that) for your kind of work. You might even want to pay for a firm letter demanding your personal property be shipped to you (at their cost, ofc). It's been months.

Separate question - why would you just let go/give up your home items/furnishings/ whatever? You can hire someone to hire movers and oversee the packing and shipping/transport or at least storage locally. I mean, if you don't care about any of it, sure, but seems like a big waste just bc you're busy working. Also it is reasonable to ask for time off to go do it yourself since you accommodated them with an immediate move then immediate field assignment, despite having a home to sell and stuff to move.

 

[JustStopDude]

Your old company has been displaying remarkable retardery ever since they let you go. Is the new company actually going to work out for you, or do you need to start putting out feelers, maybe keep your old house that you loved so much? Telling you to take PTO so you can hang around not getting paid to fix THEIR truck seems questionable.

I can expense the truck repairs. But apparently their policy for office folks is that if you leave for any reason, you are supposed to do PTO or clock out.

What are they actually threatening? Why do they think they can require anything of you now?

It's stupid. It's completely unenforceable. I don't need to talk to a lawyer. There is literally nothing they can do to me.

I'm keeping the house. I'm going to rent it out as furnished.

 

[Yellow Rose Of Texas]

A mix of fear and sadness. My computer monitor's screen is flickering and I think need to buy a new one.

Mine was doing some strange shit couple of weeks ago after some upgrades,I thought I was fucked.
Thankfully everything seems to be normal now.

It's way too fucking hot

Yep. You sounded bothered by it in the prior comment so was encouraging you to get info - glad you're good & hope you get your stuff back!

Also thought you were feeling jammed because of this:

I have done fuck all to pack. I'm gonna have to leave most of my shit.

Would love to hear how renting it out goes - you'd expressed some concern about that before, but it's also something I'm thinking about doing at some point so hope you update when you get that going!

Good for you. I know you weren't happy at the prospect of giving it up.



My "fortune" from the Chinese food I splurged on today. Trying not to take it as a suggestion to just break.

 

[Uncle_Teds_Cabin25]

I went back to my old job and am keeping my current job.
I don't know how long I can keep it up, but I need to make money fast.
The Biden years fucked me over so badly it's not funny.
I hate him, I hate Kamela, and I hate every single person that voted for them
Glad to see the UK and Europe are finally waking up to the damage being done by illegals and LEGAL immigration.
Edit. At least at my current job my boss has my back.

My best friends funeral was yesterday. It was a beautiful service and we gave him a green burial like he'd talked about countless times. The wicker casket was lovely. He would have loved it. And bitched and complained that it was too fucking hot and that we were taking too long.
I feel tremendously blessed to have been able have a lifelong friend like him, be welcomed into his family with open arms, and unbelievably honored that I was able to bear him to his final resting place.

 

[AnOminous]

Kind of shitty. Had to take someone to the ER and they got admitted. Probably not fatal but it's always possible.

I was kind of agitated and speeding on the way back. 61 in a 50. Cop pulls up behind me with flashers on. Oh shit, I think and start looking for a pulloff. He changes lanes over the double lines and blows right past me. Cool beans. A few minutes later I'm doing 66 in a 50 and ANOTHER cop does the same thing. At least the second time I knew this cop wasn't interested in me.

I decided not to try for three times and did the speed limit, like I normally do, the rest of the way home, even though I saw the second cop turn down a road where I'm pretty sure something bad happened and I know people who live on that road. Guess I'll see it on the news.
