god damn rep. that is one shitty week. sorry :/

it's good you slowed down at your main workplace though. even though it sounded like you were doing a great job not letting it get to you too much, the job itself sounds emotionally exhausting.

[MyOneAndOnly]

sending you good thoughts, reprise. that's lots of shit all at once.

[MyOneAndOnly]

I moved into a bigger apartment last week in Foggy Bottom. Having trouble sleeping. Gotta get used to the space.

thanks. it's not only emotionally exhausting, it's physically exhausting. it's starting to wear out my feet and legs. i'm sure it will improve when i lose weight but right now it's starting to become a problem. my feet hurt terribly, the top of my feet. i think i might have arthritis. my legs are just sore i can live with it but it sucks.

it's nice to not be working so much but it also means i have to hustle every day to earn money, and i'm always working or looking for work online. i've done really well the past 10 days, like i had a $200 day which is pretty insane considering i'm used to making 12.50 an hour. and i made $130 the next day. today i made about $115. more than i'd make at my regular job and it didn't involve dealing with any customers or being on my feet, and i did other stuff thru the day too like go to therapy and pet my cat.

plus i have to self-start now. i have to work, or i get no money. i can't just show up somewhere and get paid. i cant slack off, i wont get shit.

but it's good. i feel more in control and i'm happy i have worth besides counting money and dealing with angry people.

also i've been telling social security to stop sending me disability money for 6 months but they kept sending it to me, so i've just been letting it sit there (since i'll need to pay it back). finally today they sent me all this paperwork about how they need to evaluate if i'm still disabled. DUMBSHITS IVE BEEN TELLING YOU I'M NOT JUST FUCKING STOP GIVING ME MONEY. but they are questioning back a couple months earlier then they should (i should have to pay back dec-march but they are questioning my earnings from oct-marcfh) so now i have to send everything to them so I don't have to give them extra money back and it's so annoying it really is. i have to send them 6 months of paystubs and medical expenses and look through records and whatever and i wanted to do this in fucking december but no they just waited until they saw my tax return i guess

i am very grateful that they subsidized my life when i needed it but i dont anymore and i just want it to be over with. except medicare i still need that. and i get to keep it for like 7 years or something.

im having bariatric surgery on april 3

[FoolofaTook]

hope everything goes well reprise. how much time off from work do you have to recover?

[reprise85]

thanks. two weeks.

[Catherine Wheel]

So everyone who is left here is all of a sudden being really nice to each other and supportive and hospitable. Wow it’s almost like you’re all trying to prove wrong about how Netphoria really is. Like how people act a different way when self consciousness or shame / guilt / insecurity enters the picture

[Catherine Wheel]

We don't even need to bring shame or guilt or insecurity into this. We can just leave it at self consciousness.

[FoolofaTook]

O Catering, you are as mischievous as a megalothon is mighty!

Any idea when it's going to stop?

[vixnix]

My cat was begging for potato chips and I was distracted and didn’t really think about it because I was doing some heinous reading for Uni and then before I knew it, the inevitable happened, and there I was, about to knock on my parents’ bedroom door and call out Mum, Dad, the cat threw up and then I realised fuck. I’m 39. Nobody is coming to help me, I have to clean up this fucking cat spew all by myself

u guyz are gonna love this. so i was part of a group project that was fucking awful because two girlies did not do shit. instead of telling you the story, i will show you the email i just sent. sorry, i could not NOT send it:

I did not want to send a group text because I don't want to call either of you out in a group text. But in the future, if you two ever have a group project, for sake of your group, do your work.

Guilia, for not having read the chapter and needing the book in front of you for the entire time, you wasted so much of our group's time by rambling and reading from the book (and saying "like" way too much). And I know you know that there was no effort behind your slides.

Alexis, you did not do a thing and then attempted to present my work. I noticed you also took notes from my slides and added them to your points in the shared GoogleDoc. This was the morning the presentation was due, yet you were in class trying to read the chapter in a hurry. So had you read or not?

When I was your age and lazy about school, I did myself everyone a favor and dropped out. There are better ways to spend your time than going to school to avoid doing work and getting lousy grades because of it.

This kind of stuff lessens the value education, which is silly to do because it costs so much--for most people. And not liking a class is not an excuse to be lazy, especially when other people are relying on you to do your work.

Good luck in school and life.
