I just literally got a burn show up near my wrist despite not having being electric burned since my last post. The front of my arm hurts when I move it, especially the place around it. Whoever said burns can take 72 hours to show up was right. My forearm past the middle to the front hurts when I move it. Really weird. Left hand is more numb than the right when I like, compare them by moving them around, like just rotating them in a fun circle.

I haven't had any heart issues as far as I know so that's good.

Another update: talked to my electrician bf who explained there's an entry and exit wound, which appears to be true because of that blister burn on my finger and some red mark on my left arm that looks like a scratch but isn't. Apparently there's another one on my forearm, and I have a big scar there that was pink but now is bright loving red. He also said that from this all I'll probably get some nerve damage, if anything. The numbness in my arm is gone but below my wrist on my arm feels weird, not like a pulled muscle, it's like, internal.

Electricity sucks.

I got 2 fire extinguishers today so I'm happy now.

A coworker makes my skin crawl because he's so unaware of his behaviour that he doesn't understand social contracts at all. He's not on the spectrum, he's just lovely and inconsiderate.

I encourage children who are bullied to kill themselves. In fact, I get off to it. Pedophilia-snuff films are the best. More abused children need to kill themselves.
Had to leave friend on sofa and boyfriend in bed,Mathis morning, both cosy and sleeping deeply to go to work in miserable freezing rain to endure a day of a workplace without running water and instead of shutting the place they made us use bathrooms in a neighbouring building. Then the joy of a therapy session. Plus my Saturday night was so large that I think I have a cracked rib (or at least badly bruised) and a mysterious bruise under my chin. And those injuries happened before we even left the house on Saturday night.

i was gonna complain about something but then i realized it's not too late. sometimes i pm people here to attempt to cheer them up a little. whoops.

things could always get worse.

watching my nana (mom's mom) hand me an oz of silver she forgot i gave to her was internally upsetting though. i can't let go of this piece of metal now and if i lost it i would probably destroy things looking for it. feels.

In addition to feeling generally crappy the last few days, I was out shoveling tonight and suddenly heard my neighbor scream "JAAAAAKE!" and saw their two German Shephard puppies dash down their driveway and right into oncoming traffic. One of them got hit, luckily the car slowed down a lot, but then the driver took off. I tried to dash inside to grab my keys and give chase but they were long gone by then, so I went to try and get the dogs who thankfully hadn't seemingly been grievously injured and had continued down the road together. The owners had managed to catch up to them and get their attention with treats, and got them in leashes and eventually back home, but it still loving simultaneously bummed me right out to see a dog get hit by a car, and also loving INFURIATES ME that the driver bolted. gently caress hit and run drivers, they should all be kneecapped.

Edit: and now I heard an audible "CRACK" sound and a big ol chunk of tooth just broke off one of my molars, which is just awesome

it's funny, i watch 8 mile with a family member to try and bond, right after, im talking immediately right after, she starts talking about the loving pill i hate to take. you take the loving pill and see if you loving like it. loving... she knows i am very insecure and sensitive about that poo poo but what does she loving do? she keeps saying the same bullshit over and over. i'm fighting an urge i have never felt before in my life. at least she knows when i start punching doors closed i'm done talking to her. baby steps, i guess.

e: i don't like leaving things on a bad note, so i tried to get her to understand where im coming from but it didn't work out very well. still was able to get it to end on a good note at least. if she rehashes that poo poo one more time though... oh man... please loving don't again please.

e2: "you're being manic", no BITCH, i'm being UPSET and craving poo poo i don't need again. you're making it worse. YOU. NOT ME. IT'S YOU. YOU loving KNOW IT ALL. that's what i could've said. i'm starting to lose respect for her, frankly.

My 12 hour shift just turned into a 16 hour shift three hours before it was supposed to end. For some reason it's only ever the last shift of the week where something goes awry. They say they'll try to get someone in at the normal time, but this has happened a double digit amount of times and they've never managed it. Incidentally 16 hours is the maximum they can legally make me work, and somehow they always just so happen to find someone who can come in around that time. Also my bank account is empty because the company forgot to pay me my vacation pay two weeks ago. The only reason I didn't have to pay bills with my credit card at the beginning of the month was because this happens every goddamn time and I already had a backup plan for when they hosed me over.

I'm using a lot of connections I made in my current job to try to get a job with the provincial health authority, but the union's real strict and few if any of my applications have gotten past HR. Once I can sneak into a union position I'm going to have it made but god drat my current job might make me find a way to RKO my own head off before that happens

I'm in a new role and it's making me very anxious. I work in an office, the role is not remotely life or death, but here I am near 1am in the morning with a heavy dread in my chest. I don't know how nurses or firefighters do it, I'm a loving wreck over potential mistakes on paperwork, not people and their health!

I think you have me confused with someone else, I haven't had a hot dog in years.

The problem is the entire other end. One of the downsides to having a parent that had ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease: even if you're lucky enough to not get it, you're still likely to have bad mojo from time to time, regardless. :(

I think I have depression depression. I took prozac for a few years before joining the army, but stopped during and even during the transition to the national guard after a few years. Guard ends next month so I've been trying to distract myself by taking online classes and getting a new much higher tempo job a few months ago.

After the gf broke up with me last month (but still living together until March, lease) I've just kind of closed in. I woke up this morning wishing I hadn't.

I think it's official; I just can't drink alcohol anymore. No matter how much water I drink inbetween, no matter how big a meal I have beforehand, I get a crippling headache long before any sort of buzz hits me.

Like, drinking isn't a huge part of my life, but it's still kinda annoying.

I’m currently sitting in my car in a ditch on the side of the road because the plows hadn’t made it to this section of the freeway yet. :sigh:

...and now for the second time because some rear end in a top hat cut me off to get to a rest stop and I spun out avoiding a collision.

I miss my old 4WD Subaru. This front-wheel-drive Civic isn’t cutting it in the snow.

It’s Christmas and I think someone in my family passed on some kind of stomach virus or something because I’m spending the majority of the day in the bathroom. The worst part is I work retail in Canada so I can’t call in sick tomorrow or I’m going to be fired. Taking a bunch of stomach medicine so I’m hoping it will do the job within a day.

For Boxing Day? My management has outright said if you don’t even call it’s an outright firing and they expect you there unless it’s something EXTREME. It’s pretty much Canadian Black Friday.

Also I live in Alberta which is Texas-lite and I looked in labour laws when I got fired from a previous job I had for no reason given. I found out you can be fired here for any reason they want, they just either have to give you pay or notice based on an amount of time you’ve been working for.

So yeah, just as lovely.

I live in an at-will state.
Thankfully my job is exempt because it is a looming cloud of dread for thousands of people.

My Gf was once fired because she and her coworker went out for lunch, coworker got drunk and the boss fired them both because "the whole thing was unprofessional."

gently caress that place, gently caress those people.

A pretty good friend of mine passed away last night. I hadn't hung out with him for a year or so, but he was super close to a couple of my best friends. They're not taking it too well, and I'm not on Facebook so I really have no idea how or what even happened. I didn't even know he was sick or anything. This year has been a pretty lovely year. Can't wait for it to be over.
