What's Bugging You Today? Volume 3, Part 1

Avoid the noid.

Just been one of those days.

I tried to clean off my mother's deck today. I don't know what the fuck they have growing on there but I sprayed straight bleach on it and parts of it are still green and black.

Then I pulled out the new power sprayer and it won't pass fucking water.

Then I worked on taking my Sherman Tank front light appart. I now know why the man didn't want much for it. I guess half of it was in a lake? I've soaked the damn thing in WD40, GreenCreep and finally transmission fluid and the fucking end of still wouldn't come off. To make things better, the damn end just broke off and half the cloth wire is just fucking shit.

All of this out in the hot humid heat with shitass mosquitoes swarming on me. Ugh, I want to yell up my own ass.

Worst feeling: Walking by a meeting and thinking "Am I supposed to be there?"

I sent an email and heard nothing. After a couple days I made a phone call and got a different message that said they were on vacation until July 10th, so two more weeks of no response. I finally get back an email last night (another week after the two weeks of vacation) of them saying they just realized they never contacted me, so I should call them tomorrow.

It's good that I'm not out yet, but I should've had hiring discussions in May, June at the latest along with the rest of the people in that group. Not halfway through July and we're still playing email tag about when to have an interview.

So I called and left messages on both days they asked me to try and contact them. They never answered. This week they finally contact me, and they tell me the schedule I want is no longer available and the required training session will not be available until during a school day. Both of those things filled up because it took them three months to spend five minutes on a phone call with me, and almost two months from when I was explicitly told to contact them. I agreed to accept more hours a week than I wanted because I want the experience and hate my current job enough to risk it, and talked her into spreading the training out over two months just to make it work with my schedule.

So I do have an interview next week and it looks like everything's in place, but this is by far the worst hiring process I've ever dealt with. Not helped by a lack of sleep this weekend putting me really on edge and killing my patience.

You realize that if they fuck you around when you're actually hired, you're not allowed to bitch right?

I'm doing what I feel I need to in order to succeed on this path. Doesn't mean I have to enjoy every step of the way.

It's my party and I'll cry if I want to.

I know it hurts. But it's life, and it's real. And sometimes it fucking hurts, but it's life, and it's pretty much all we got.

Now I'm depressed that you reminded me that I saw that terrible piece of shit.

Such an awful movie.

Sometimes I think of this scene and cringe.
