#bitch rant

And how predictable of some adults voicing their main concerns over the children when a tragic event like that mass shooting happens. "At least the kids were safe." "We need to protect the children!" "I don't want my kids to witness that kind of senseless violence in person!!" They're all valid concerns, don't get me wrong, but innocent adults should also be safe! IIRC, the lone fatality from that shooting was an adult--where's the concern over them? That adult was someone's friend or sibling, and now they're gone, but all the Helen Lovejoys in the world will still keep parroting "think about the children!!" I'm gonna say it: Adult Lives Matter Too!

Of the Millennials who had the nerve to blindly follow the outdated LifeScript and pop out our current Zoomers/Alpha kids, some of y'all SUCK as parents point blank period.

It’s kind of funny, for the longest time we’ve all talked about getting back to ‘normal’. To get out and do things like they were before. My parents are going to travel out of the country for the first time in who knows how long.

And work is slowly trying to transition everyone back to on site. Even though I’ve been doing it once a week for several months, I will admit it is exhausting. The worst part is, I’m not even the one driving and I find this exhausting. To top it all off, I have to do this twice a week, or three times a week because next week is an all staff meeting.

I know that there is a sense that those who make these sorts of decisions feel that we’re all more effective for being together in person more often. Honestly, I don’t feel more effective.

I’m more tired because I have to get up earlier to take into account the travel time and I’m not even… really done with my day until I’m back home.

I’m more uncomfortable because no matter how many desk checks are done, the set up isn’t going to be meant for me. The chair is not designed for me, I have fucking short legs. And even with the accommodations made for the washroom, it doesn’t remove the fact I’m balancing medical supplies in a place that isn’t my own.

I’m more stressed because I have to plan to be on site. I have to plan my lunch, my medical supplies, my computer, and overall my day to do this. It’s hard to eat healthy when you have to take it with you, nevermind breakfast. If I don’t manage to get a ride, and have to take myself, I don’t know what I’m doing for breakfast. That’s a 6 a.m. wake up call to eat breakfast at home.

And that doesn’t even take into account the fact that I’m sharing an office again. I have to relearn how to talk more softly, while ignoring the other person who may be talking on the phone. 

The worst part about it is, I don’t even know why I’m on site that often. No one needs me in person. No one talks to me except the other admin assistant, which has nothing to do about work unless you’re complaining about it. The only reason why I agreed to be on site at first for once a week, is because I am the only admin assistant who still deals with hardcopy paperwork. So when I did just once a week, I was happy with it.

Because the thing is, the thing I enjoy most about my job is knowing why I do something. Why it is important. I don’t know why I have to be on site more than once a week, and so I take very little enjoyment from it.

So I bought a New 3DS from a seller who actually lives in the same state as I, and so I assumed it was a great idea to buy from them. Unfortunately, I got an email saying that they cancelled my order because “the price was not set correctly by the seller”. The fuck does that mean? I mean, it's clear what it means, but I really can't believe that they decide to do this to me right before it's been a week since I bought the item. I knew something was up, because usually, sellers will ship an item at least a business day or two after I buy it, but I did not get such notification all week. That, and I bought from an inexperienced seller, which I'll never do again.
