Tell us, what's bothering you ?

This started after our oldest employee, also someone he knows since he was a kid, retired back in April.

Ah - okay. Combined with his being the owner, this makes sense. Once he figures out how to rebalance the workload it'll settle down.

 

[Manko-sensei]

Yes, it makes more sense if the future of the company is uncertain. In that case, if workload returns to normal or eventually you get a raise (or a bonus, or both) then it'll be justified. I'm too used to hear about exploitative bosses that here we have a saying "if for an enterprise/company exploiting becomes necessary for its own existance, it's better for it to disappear". So in this case let's hope things returns to normal, maybe he needs a hand on some things but he's reluctant to accept such help and only ends more stressed.

Rant about work:

Spoiler

Work has been hectic. Boss has been... seemingly having weird mood swings or something. Sometimes, he gets frustrated at us for little things. I have been coming in earlier because he didn't like me being late and staying late. Guilty as charged. But sometimes, I get so many documents and ended up falling behind. He can fucking see how many emails I get, but still think I shouldn't have taken as much time as I did. Well, I can't speedrun all the time, and I gotta double check things as well. And I know I get more work than the girls who work with me. I can fucking see how many documents they get, too. We all share the same email address. Just today, an hour before time to leave, people decided to bombard me with like 20 documents or so. I did as many as I could, then say screw it, I'm leaving. It's already time to bail. And then I realize he texted me earlier to vacuum the office (I went to get some water), which I haven't done in weeks because it's always been busy. Goddamn it... But I did it anyway. And then there's the time I printed out a document, went to the restroom before I can give it to the warehouse crew. He saw me coming out, and still asked why I haven't given the paper to them. Uhm, are you... blind? And then he said I printed out the old incorrect one. I swear that was the paper that was updated the second time, unless the customer revised it a 3rd time and only sent it to him.

He can be nice. But sometimes I wonder what the hell goes through his head.
Wants me to come in on time, leave on time, cool. But I can't control how much work I'd have. Someone will complain, somehow, no way around it. Last week, there was a document with issue, and the system for some reason failed to inform us. Customer went to pick up at the port, couldn't, didn't even bother telling us, either. We didn't know until the next day. Boss got mad at me for taking too long to look for the file. Well, my bad, I went to the restroom, while at it. He admitted he also made his own fuck up, which made things even worse. And then he revealed that the same customer has been complaining about me. Same dude who sends on average at least half a dozen files a day. It was a disaster fate intended, I gotta say. I'll try to speed things up, but never will I stay late again.

the one thing i don't miss about being in an office all the bullshit that comes with it its enough to drive a person mad

I have 60 cents to last me the next 12 days until payday. My last paycheck was 600 less than rent/utilities. Which means in total I have 400 a month for food, gas, and anything else I need.
I suck at job interviews and fail the 2nd/3rd interview constantly. Scheduling interviews is hard bc I work 9 to 5 and am in costco, no free time during hours besides breaks. I am an IT person and need to get back in my field....

Only really ever had 1 friend due to parent's refusal to give me any privacy starting in 5th grade and hardly remember how to talk to anyone since they would inturrupt me, talk for me, and then punish me for what they said in front of everyone. Couldn't get a job until I escaped since I was required to live by their schedule and attend all their events I was told about with 10 minutes notice. Escape only occured bc my friend finally contacted me and helped rebuild my energy and connect with cousins to plan my escape and get out without them knowing. I should also mention I didn't have my own car

Said friend is no longer here to give me energy, I am drained, its a bit much to deal with when you have your own life and aare the only support. Went to a therapy place and made a couple friends but one stopped talking after leaving and the other droped me since I called in a wellness check when she claimed to have done something to end her life a second time (I took the first one as just a manner of expression of her emotional state and just gave her all the attention I could until I learned she was hospitalized the next day). Sorry, I can't ignore you saying you are in the middle of an active suicide attempt when you have a history of that and I care about you. I'd show up myself if we were not half a day away from each other

Drained, Broke, Am barely making rent in spite of not living in any way and leaving ac between 76 and 80F, out of people to ask for help, don't have people my age in my department at my job, am working in a job I am less suited for (I have years of system administration experience, I just wasn't paid for it bc family business)... and out of support. Stuck.... Just so stuck. Better than being stuck with parent's but I really want to start living my life not be stuck like this....

Got banned from a CS Source server for spraying pornographic spray... which wasn't even mine. The spray was a black woman with exposed breast. No idea who the hell sprayed it, but somehow, I got the blame. Got a warning first, so I told the mod it was somebody else's. The moron simply replied back that I have been warned.

I responded asking him if he was stupid, whatever dude. The inevitable ban came a few seconds later. Oh well. Another good reason for me to uninstall that game again. Sucks when low IQ trash holds the power on anything.

You were still playing that game? Well, yes, it's absurd when they can check who did that with some minimal skills. I guess it was for the best? (Now you can play other games)

 

[DavidianMillerian]

(Now you can play other games)

now he can play recettear

 

[NotGary]

now he can play recettear

he should play Deus Ex.

 

[NotGary]

somehow I'm getting recommended mcu stuff. people are aparently arguing that instead of getting the giy who played iron man, they should have had an actual romanian in the role of evil mf doom.

all the romanians I know personally, have at best the charisma of your average mid level street goon. idk why people can't wrap their head around that.

Bro I gotta stop trying make my sketches perfect. I gotta loosen up my grip, and focus on making an "outline". Make mistake, Doel. Experiment and try stuff.
This habit is pretty hard to break.

you're sketching something?

I've been trying to get back to drawing by sketching, yes

 

[NotGary]

neat. persoanlly, I don't do the first draft/sketch stage. I just do the lines over and over till I consider the shape good enough for me to color it once it's done.

ah, hope your journey goes well, traveler

After about the 5th day it gets old. That's why I live in the upper midwest, where the weather changes constantly (but is shit about 90% of the time).

Yeah, once in a while. I don't play FPS games as much as before, but sometimes, I get the itch to play some shooters, so I reinstall some old games. Only to uninstall them shortly after. =.=

I hate the rain, too. And, the heat.

So the overseas farm job I mentioned like a month ago... Best case scenario, the interview will be on August, and we can start working around late September-October. Worst case scenario? Gotta wait for at least a year. At most, 5 years.

It's just... I took a leave from my college for this. Thinking about this turning out to be a scam frightens me to no end
