It has been a rough day. I am dying to go home. Too much work, my eyes and fingers hurt. Been at the office since 7am coding powershell scripts, adding new functionality to alpha version of a new software release and testing it of course and fixing other people's atrocious stored procedures.
 
Things just seem to get worse at home... Getting a little tiring with my parents constantly threatening my brother and I about calling the police. Why? Because they think we're out of control by doing things such as...going out and buying our OWN groceries or...that I hang out with my friends too much...despite the FACT that I only hang out with them once a week to work on cars. They believe that the police could sort out this "issue" of theirs. Also having trouble trying to find some decent apartment or place seeking a roommate. Needing to get out of this 🤬 hole.

Sounds like a blast.

Let them call the police. Unless the officer is dumb or you are not telling the whole story then he will just laugh surely.
 
My mom used to threaten me with that as well when I was young....those were not good days....
 
Yesterday I had issues because my dad was hounding at me because I'm not doing enough. Which is mainly because I'm tired after a week of hard work and use my weekend to relax, which is fair enough I believe. I'm expected to get all my licenses (car and motorbike) within 2 days, keep in practice for music individually, and collaberate with my brother 3 times a week, relax, help around the house all within the 3 hours or so I get to myself each day and sleep decent hours. I get home from work at 6 PM almost every day now because work goes late for no reason, and I should really be sleeping at 9 PM but I can't because my parents aren't quiet people and don't go to bed until 11 PM.

And yesterday I was so irritated by my dad threatening to kick me out for not keeping up with the 7 million things he wants me to do daily in 3 hours, I spent two hours in bed ranting in my head in frustration (I can't stand up to people, so I can't just tell him when he's being stupid) so I only got 4-5 hours sleep because I have to get up at 6 AM for no reason. I get to work at 7 AM, but work never really starts until 8 AM, this is because my dad wants me to get used to getting up early, and calls it character building. Which it isn't, because it just makes me so tired that I'm characterless. I haven't even seen my best friend in about three months because I'm always tired after work and I need the rest in the weekends.

Today however, was alright. Had a Traffic management course related to work, so I didn't do any actual work. Almost all of the stuff they teach us is common sense anyway, so I sit there for an hour doing nothing in a room and then do a little test thing (which is open book, so it's easy for anyone). But it was better than working for sure. But nyeh, just look forward, with a stroke of positive thoughts maybe something good will come?
 
Spent 3 hours in the morning to register my mother's car and get the license plates, it's hilarious how hard and obselete the method to do it in a 2nd world country is.
 
Spent the entire day running around the city dropping off CV's. I have $75 left on my card and over $1200 of debt between my credit card and unpaid bills. Managed to obtain 2 "on the spot" interviews where the employer just told me he would call me if I'm needed, and another interview scheduled for tomorrow, but its at a place I already got turned down at earlier so I'm not expecting anything.

Basically things are very bad.
 
Well, it was good.

A few of us at school sat in the seminar room in the sixth form block and watched some Ayrton Senna videos.

2 year 12s (including me), 3 year 13s and my head of year all talking about Senna. It was the best lunch break I've had since starting at the place and really deeprooted my belief that Motorsport unites people of all ages.

Is that not the cutest thing you could find in your old toolbox?

Keep at it, you will make a breakthrough. I was out of the job for three months due to injury and when I came back I had no job except one night a week in the bar. Blew through savings to pay child support, pay debts, pay bills and rent. Somehow managed to survive although I could have retained a lot more of the savings, but I was not willing to part with my second car.
 
Walked out to check on the kittens, and the mom sprang out of the box, claws ablaze. Got me on the arm pretty bad.
 
Pretty decent day. I didn't go out though it was a nice day. I cleaned up, folded clothes and listened to music. I've been scared since I have to do this portrait photography assignment; my anxiety is getting to me and I don't feel like bothering people for these photos. I need to bring myself together, relax and just do it. Finals week next week and I just have random things on my mind as I prep for it.

Something that works good.



**** anxiety, and maybe just one more listen before bed.
 
Been paid for a full days work and have done hardly anything. I'm currently doing a supporting role but nobody needs support so just sat around and caught up on some of my own stuff. a very dull and long day. 9 till 8. Still here now :(

8 ball pool is very fun

I'm no good at pool. Plus managers would be wondering why I'm playing pool or on the PS3s when I'm supposed to be at my desk. I don't think it would go down well.
 
So I went on a field trip to watch a skills competition which has things from computer graphics to carpentry, which was pretty decent (got to sit in a ZL1 Camaro Convertible too). Then we got on the bus where we were supposed to leave and head to a place with Dairy Queen AND Tim Hortons. But apparently 5 🤬 people couldn't read the time and another couldn't even find the 🤬 bus so a teacher had to stay and look for him.

I'm starting to really, REALLY, hate people and I'm only a teenager :mad:

I remember that point in my life. I took the loathe everybody route as opposed to the accept everybody route. I don't really recommend either one. I guess I'm saying, find a way to not let it bother you too much. Don't let it destroy your day, but there's nothing wrong with getting pissed at people sometimes either. When you're a teen it's especially easy to hate people, don't do that, it just leads to an adulthood filled with bitterness and anger, trust me lol.



My day's gone well. It's been so long since I had a good day that I'm actually afraid of it. Got the job I wanted, but for less pay than I wanted, but it's still a good thing! The parts for my motorcycle DIDN'T need to be ordered and shipped from Japan, for once. Got the night off from FedEx (soon to be my ex-employer). So yeah, I'm pretty much waiting for a plane to crash into me.
 
First day of a new job today had me thrown in at the deep end but luckily Shem floats.
Made it home just before a torrential downpour but just did a sicky-burp that left a peanut taste in the back of my throat.

There are worse things to taste than peanuts.

What about the bike record?
 
Yesterday was pretty crappy. Went to the doctor with chest pains and it turns out I have a couple of suspected cracked ribs (as routine they don't x-ray unless there's a possibility of lung damage). I've had broken ribs before, so I knew the prognosis - plenty of painkillers... and that's it. So they put me on codeine which made me dizzy and nauseous all day. I've stopped taking it today and reverted to paracetamol and ibuprofen cocktails, which is working much better.

:indiff:
 
D:

You couldn't get the bike back together? :(

The bike came out only mildly damaged and was still ridable. I, however, hit the ground pretty hard and carved open my hip and smashed up both my knee and elbow. I rode on for another week after the crash but the pain was too much even with painkillers. I had to give up less than a week away from completion.

Which brings me nicely to @axletramp's post. Alcohol. Lots and lots of alcohol will numb the pain.
