I hate my job. Like I really was done bein’ a waiter/bartender. But I didn’t think I’d dislike this new gig quite this much. Not gettin’ to do ‘Roo has not helped my dismal attitude at all. And I can’t complain to many people in my day-to-day life ‘cause it’s my father-in-law that got me the job. My wife knows I don’t really enjoy it, but I’m afraid to tell her how much I don’t like it.

Ugh.
Be honest and tell her. Then the two of you come up with a game plan to make some changes. Doesn’t have to be all of a sudden. Just something that you can set in motion that gives you some hope.

THIS!!! I am sorry that you are hating your job, but talk to your partner honestly. When I have shit weighing on me, talking to thejeremy always gives me peace of mind and clarity that I never really expected.

I appreciate you and Druid chimin’ in, but I do already have a game plan to get out. I’ll be done with my associates in cyber security in either the summer or the fall at the latest. But I either need to do some kinda special course/project (gotta do more research on that) or do a work study/internship program (what I really wanna do) to finish. I don’t think my current 8-5 sales job will really allow that as most opportunities I’ve seen in previous semesters have been the same hours I currently work. Now I’ve already told her that I’m fine takin’ a pay cut and pickin’ up shifts at my old restaurant to make some extra money, but she is really not okay with that. She might have to get the fuck over it though.
So hopefully I’ll be where I’m at no more than 8-15 more months, but that’s hard when you wake up everyday dreadin’ the next 10-11 hours with traffic and a lunch break. And that much time doin’ this is just gonna make me fairly miserable. And she thought I was bad beforehand! I just spend so much time doin’ school work afterwards that I don’t think she notices my mood as much.

Thanks fer listenin’ to me rant!
Before my opportunity in the film industry finally appeared, I was in a very similar job situation. I am sure a bunch of y'all remember how miserable I was. Point is, 8-15 months sounds long especially when you are miserable in a job. BUT, due to the way time and the brain actually work, you will be surprised at how quickly it will pass.
Best of luck, sorry you are stuck temporarily, but luckily it is just temporarily and you have a game plan already in place. You got this.

We moved to a bigger apartment in our same building this weekend. Can’t switch over the gas/electric because the guy that was living here hasn’t turned his off yet. 🙃
Verizon is insisting on sending a tech out to turn on our internet tomorrow. Don’t really understand why because we have all the equipment and the whole building is rigged for fios already. 🙃🙃

Moving is the worst.
Every time I move I swear it’s going to be the last.
Next thing I know….I’m loading heavy shit I don’t even want into a truck in august…..and there’s not a breeze or a cloud in the sky to beg for. But the humidity is 1500% and it’s 5000 degrees.
I don't know how to start with this, but I'm fed up and I'm tired. As some of you prolly know, at the start of 2021 I and someone else have taken over the editor-in-chief spot at indiestyle.be, a music blog that probably sits somwhere between Pitchfork and The Quietus (or atleast, that's what I'd like to believe) run by volunteers. I've got to say that timing probably didn't do me any favors since I pretty much got a bore-out of music between February and June-ish though I still wrote some bits and pieces here and there and had my internship for my bachelor's degree going in that same period. I tried my best to be a good leader, write whenever I could and messaged my other editor-in-chief if I couldn't stuff. Through out the year, we started noticing that writers were less and less engaging, less active and less writing / wanting to review music, which is kind of a key factor on our blog. We initially thought the dread of corona and working at home have made people numb for music (as was I for a large portion of this year), but since our country has pretty much lifted all it's regulations step by step and we pretty much had a normal summer we, no I started worrying it might be something else and the fact is.. I still don't know what the fuck is going on. It's October, which as you all know, high season for music to come out but also.. live music has come back aswell (we review concerts aswell, which for a lot of people is kind of a driving factor to go to concerts for free and then write some 4/500 words about it afterwards) but our concert agenda is pretty much.. empty? There's only a handful of people who've given up to write and it's always the same 3,4, 5 people and I'm so tired because our group used to consist of like almost 20.. On top of that, in June we got exciting news that we could partner with Sound Track, a competition of the Belgian live sector where we 2 other blogs got the opportunity to partner with and the reaction was a lot of excitement in the group itself but now that the group stage concerts or whatever have been announced NO ONE has given themselves up wanting to write for it and it just.. it makes me depressed man. I want this thing to work out, this blog to flourish and I'm tired. I write all the news bits pretty much, I write a review a week (sometimes two) and do a weekly feature and like I'm so done holy shit. About the other editor-in-chief, he's less engaging, less wanting to strive and make something well about this and like, I feel like I don't have much about him as a partner and that makes me sad. He started working for a news paper aswell so he has even less time or wants to make time to spend for the blog so.. Yeah. Grr, I guess.

youll get there, it sucks and it takes forever but you will, i had been looking since july and didnt get anything til this month
Yesterday marks the first time I’ve lost a child at a large event with thousands of other kids. I walked an hour through a maze of children but finally found him.
Pissed this event didn’t have any type of direction or anyone to go to if someone is lost. Kid literally wandered till he couldn’t go any further and just sat there crying. And fuck ANYONE that sees a kid crying by themselves and not helping. That was 100% of what happened there.

People left them there just crying?! That is horrible. I only lost Kyle once and it was the most terrifying 30 mins of my life.

Oh hell. So sorry that happened and glad you found him. WTH is wrong with people that they wouldn’t help? For some reason, the kids that got lost in our grocery store always wound up at the pharmacy. We would give them a lollipop, plop them in a waiting chair, and start paging the folks. Thankfully they always showed up, otherwise I was going to put the kid to work at the register.

He was scared and wanted to leave immediately. I’m assuming people had their own problems to even realize he was lost but still, it’s irritating to no end. He’s fine. We’re eating cake for days on end. It just sucked as he was looking forward to this for weeks now.
It was one of those Cub Scout retreat things which I’m automatically skeptical of, but this was the icing for me.

I wasn't a fan of the Cub Scouts, but Boy Scouts was magical and something that Kyle really needed. Again, I am sorry this happened. Yay for cakes for days at least.
