#slap rants

I just get aggravated since I have been working on an RD cert for years, plus I am a ACE-CPT now, so it is part of my duty to ensure other professionals do not go beyond their scope of practice. 

To the point of “falling into a depression” : I am not saying this lightly. I mean, I am noticing signs of depression, in particular tiredness, irritability, no longer finding past interests interesting and enjoyable, not enjoying much of anything, even changing appetite. I am about to start a set of cosplays, so I am hoping that will help and I am only a few weeks away from paying off these student loans. So hopefully all that plus the holidays will help keep me happy and busy.

Gah! Had to move the trash that’s been sitting for the last 4 weeks into the truck and there were tons of maggots and etc. in there. And it smelled so bad. I swear I can still feel everything touching me, things crawling on me, despite me washing my hands twice and changing into a complete new set of clothes.

and I still have not received any information on how to sign up for the DTR exam and I still have not found a job I can do because there is an employability gap between the degree and the certification, which requires a 10-month internship which I have to pay MORE money for. Basically, the degree itself doesn’t help anything with getting a job, it’s the certification that means something. I guess I am just going to have to go back to foodservice or make the jump to simple retail.

My graduation depends on it. And I have another test I have yet to study for and I need to finish my homework for my other class AND I need to prep for my presentation on Tuesday.

I wanted to be able to present a “Getting Fit for Cosplay” panel as someone who really was qualified to talk as those things. I need to finish my degree, internship and RD certification and move onto my PT cert.

I almost made it to the end of the semester without tragedy. Yesterday, I found out my van had the power steering belt out of alignment. As it was still mostly on the wheel and the problem had been for a week now, I was intending to wait until tomorrow to get it fix. When i called my mom about it, she said to get the belt fixed, but we will replace the power steering pump when I get home. Guess what just f---ing happened?! The steering pump screwed up. I only had 7 days left of the semester, but noO the issue couldn’t wait until I was home. So now I am stuck at my university without any transportation until I figure out this problem. What should I do?

I offered to buy some gifts for the Imgur Secret Santa and I got all the orders in... then I kept getting responses that the card info was incorrect (I was using prepaid gift cards) and so I charged each one. And I kept getting the errors. And now my Amazon account when whack, putting me in Kindle order mode and then locking me out. Of course, Amazon staff are in bed by now so they can’t help until tomorrow. T_T Plus I gotta figure this out with Amazon.com with most of these and Amazon.ca with another order. It’s just so frustrating. Why can’t I just buy the stupid things without problems?!
