The vent: all the shit from my day that I need to get out or I will explode
Hi guys. Today was… A lot. And I am exhausted. Honestly, the only good thing about today was that I learned about the HALT acronym for self-care. (hungry angry, lonely, and tired). But there were a lot of bad stuff from today and I need to tell you about it or I will explode…
First, I work with kids. And while I love my job, there are some things that do stress me out, which is good that I have you guys. For instance, today I was helping a child with their homework because they were doing Spanish and I was moving their folder a little bit so that it didn’t fall on the ground, you know general nice person stuff. And I was just trying to help and trying to be as courteous and calm as I possibly could because I had just taken care of my H in halt and gotten a good snack from their vending machine when my coworker told me to be quiet when I was just trying to help the kids and I had to sit there and take it because if I didn’t, then I don’t know I mean, I’m not a violent person, but I don’t wanna be a doormat. And I’m kind of sensitive actually really sensitive and I hate when people tell me to be quiet when I was just trying to help someone.
The next incident I will talk about happened in the gym before I left. My favorite ball to play with with the kids is a football because I love football and I love watching it(the Minnesota Vikings are my team), and my co-counselors know this, and even though they know this one of my counselors straight up, hid the football behind his back and said “what football?“ Even though I could literally see it. I mean, I’m not dumb. I can literally see the football. I could literally see the football and he has to go and hide it from me. And you know what? He’s always messing with me and always rage baiting me. In fact last week he told me that my favorite player on the Minnesota Vikings, Justin Jefferson was being moved to his team. The Philadelphia Eagles and I had to look it up and luckily it wasn’t true, but I was still upset and I was just trying to have a pleasant day.
I am exhausted. I am worn out. Thanks for hearing my vent. I think I’m gonna go to bed early.
