#my coworker didn't MEAN to make me feel bad #but plEASE consider not saying this kind of stuff to someone <:) this applies to disabilities or physical differences too #cuz for all you know they feel the same and now have to coddle you about it when they are struggling themselves! #I had to turn my hurt feelings into a joke to move this conversation along >.< #web comic #comic #digital comic #furry comic #Furry Art #anthrofurry #furry #Neo #Poor Neo #trans artist #autistic artist #autistic creator

i need to bitch about my job for a minute in the tags

#ok so a senior role was made available in my team that i could’ve applied for #and there’s two of us in the team so. yknow pretty certain that one of us would get it #it was sort of replacing someone who left who handled a fucktonne of work across two other teams i work with #and ultimately i decided not to apply for the job because 1. the other guy on my team has been there two years longer than i have #and 2. my health is fucking precarious #mental and physical. i already work slightly reduced hours to try and manage my chronic fatigue but even then i have frequent crashes #and whenever my workload gets too much i just shut down. like the worst stress response ever #so my coworker got the job and a hefty pay rise and im like good for him :) #and then he went on leave for 6 weeks so i got handed 60% of his workload #and when you get handed people’s projects you get a good insight into how they work and how they coordinate shit/write documents etc #and not only are these projects a piece of piss compared to the aid programme stuff i’ve been doing #his actual work is like?? not great #i know i’m a perfectionist and i put way too much effort into my documents and reports but #there’s no way this guy is being paid $30k more for this!! #so now i’m like why didn’t i fucking interview for the senior role!! #i have this terrible impostor syndrome even though i’ve been there a year and get good feedback on my projects #part of it because i’m 22 and i am constantly like how the fuck am i here with an arts degree. i don’t know Anything #but shit man. if this guy’s mediocre work is worth a senior role #i have had a couple of job offers with a decent pay bump which is still wild to me. you want to pay me WHAT #<- well aware this is a great ‘problem’ to have #anyway i think i need a pay rise. we’ve just had a mass exodus from our team. i reckon if i threatened to leave they would lift my salary? #but i don’t know if i want to blackmail my manager lmao

its joever

#had a terrible day at work and cried in front of my dad for the first time maybe idk ever #like it turns out if you force your kid into college and a profession they dont want to have anything to do with...it ends badly #not that hes fully to blame im a dad apologist my extended family is just full of control freaks #but if we want to go Further i can also blame imperial japan for invading my hometown and making my great- and current grandparents #grow up in so much poverty and financial instability that'll 80ish years later i am now in this situation. whatever. i'll live #as soon as i get my resignation letter written #it's so embarrassing that i have to notify the FDA too like hhi hello...if u could detach my license from this pharmacy pls thamk u #shit i could have avoided if i just applied at a hospital where all my coworkers are also registered professionals so my workplace isnt #relying Solely on my license. damn #anyway its 8 PM i am tired out from cruing its bedtime #skl.txt

coworker made an admittedly really bad move to bring something up during a team meeting (about a person that wasn't even there) (& maybe didn't want it to be brought up) but oooohhh the reaction from management pissed me off so much

#Annoyed w/ my coworker too ngl she's got a lot of. Well it's mostly good she brings up stuff that bothers her & stands for it #But in this case. It's just so counterproductive & gonna make things harder for our employee representative AND the person being talked abt #Rosa rambles #Like the shit she said was RIGHT but honestly not her place & an actually good thing to criticise would've been lack of communication #which DOES apply to everyone and then the employee representative in particular #Ugh it just sucks that she's alone. Like legally we can only have the one. Man

I feel so, so old but also so, so young and it’s starting to freak me out

#Not to get too existential but. #32 is hitting me harder than 30 for some reason? #(the reason being work being awful and feeling like everything I fought for was. fruitless? So what now?) #and time keeps running out and I keep losing things and people #my brain keeps yelling TOO SLOW TOO LATE TOO NOTHING all the time #they took my drive away from me and broke my spirit a little bit and now I’m just. scared and sad and angry all the time #and I don’t even have the faith in myself to go apply somewhere else because I’m convinced I can’t. they really fucking broke me #and if I don’t have work. #what do I have #it was the (1) thing I thought was going well and now that isn’t so what the fuck else do I have #I can’t buy a house I’ve never had a relationship my whole body is fucked #I still didn’t write a book #I can’t keep up with my coworkers I can’t keep up with my same age/older friends I keep just. walking with blocks on my legs while everyone #else is running marathons and finishing them #not to be a stereotypical ambitious workaholic Capricorn bitch but #what the fuck else am I #you know?

im gonna be starting my journey into a dream job of mine within the next few weeks, im SO excited!!! things are finally coming up for me!!!!

#its gonna be so fucking difficult but ive been wanting to be a pet groomer for a DECADE #my very first job was as a bather at a grooming/boarding place and i loved it even though it was hard and unpredictable #and over the past decade doing a lot of job hopping... the thing thats always on my mind is getting my grooming license #i kept psyching myself out of it bc its hard to like. actually start doing something #but i work at a pet store now and i APPLIED to be in the groomer section but i work in the retail side #this week ive been talking with a bunch of my coworkers and my boss about switching to grooming and it worked!!!!! it fucking worked!!!!!! #theyre actually listening to me and what i want to do with my time!!!! the only thing that sucks is that i still have to work in pet care #but i dont really mind that much. its not too complicated its just a bunch of set tasks to do which i thrive in #but anyways IM EXCITED!!!!! IM DOING IT IM ACTUALLY DOING IT IM FOLLOWING THROUGH WITH THINGS I WANT TO SPEND MY TIME DOING !!!!!!!!!!!!! #its been so so so long since ive had a job ive ACTUALLY WANTED and not a job that im just at to pay the bills

turbo depression rn... i thought it was bc i missed a few days of my medicine but now that im back on it im realizing it's not bc of that it's because of my job for sure

#sam crying #sucks... #all my favorite coworkers are leaving #my department is kind of imploding rn we're all looking for jobs and our wonderful supervisor is resigning #understandably too she was treated awfully #and we're also treated very poorly #so none of us want to work let alone work here #being denied by every job i apply without even an interview :')

Literally all day yesterday I was brewing thoughts in my mind along the lines of "it's very odd, and long-term, harmful, for us (lgbt people) to insist that our love is deeper, more pure, or genuine than that of cisgender heterosexual people bc it's very presumptuous of how they feel about and navigate their own lives, ntm it completely glosses over toxic relationships that can happen between lgbt people. Not a fan of this" and then my coworker walked up to me and was like Kat, As A Woman - Never Underestimate How Much Your Man Will Appreciate You Making Him A Sandwich! Like girl I was batting for you and then you come and say this corny shit

#the guy i have a crush on likes cooking im p sure. to top it all off #this is ofc not to say that my coworker's relationship w her boyfriend is vapid or nothing i think she was just #trying to give me advice that was far too broad and general to apply to me. and also it is corny im sorry

[anurarana]

I hate that I have to start looking for another job already

#working is not the issue its the applying part that caused me issues last time #stupid mall shutting down 🔪 #sstfu.txt #my last day is like the first week of november i need to start searching now unfortunately #i really like my coworkers too this blows

#tag talk #as much as I hate to see the social cinema grow as I get new followers. we're at a good and satisfying number. and I like that #also also also. I've introduced a friend to Hannibal (tv show) and he's loving it and I'm so happy cause none of #of my other friends have been able to stomach the body horror. so it's super cool to find someone to hype over it with #another random story that I genuinely can't remember if I said already. got told by a kid in minecraft that he's smiled a lot more around me #which. huge compliment. genuine honor to make people happy and smile and laugh #people don't laugh enough. we don't smile enough. be happy or die. and I'm too powerful to die. been there. haven't done that #cry and then laugh and then punch as hard as you can. #got to visit some of my favorite residents from the nursing home I first worked at. lotta new staff but my three favorite nurses are still #which is nice. I cried when I left that job because even though it crushed my soul I loved my coworkers and most of my residents. #I get why some healthcare workers grind themselves to the bone for the job. you're making such a huge difference in people's lives. #I tried but didn't have the fortitude for it. but it's nice to be able to go back and say hi to the friends I made and see how things are. #anyway. sorry for being weird like.. one or two weeks ago. I think things are settling out again. moving is rough but we're making it work #It's been a lot of Lear again lately. especially while being at my parents house. he doesn't mind being deadnamed as much sooo.... #idk. at least one of us is capable of surviving the dmv and the state medicaid website. heaven knows I can't manage. #trying to stop using him as a crutch for getting things done has just resulted in us not being able to get things done. #but I don't want to be someone else I want to be me. I don't want to be the armor I want to be the human inside. #I don't want to live defensively. pushing everyone away. I can't do that. #anyway. we're back home! and work is on the horizon. hopefully this job works out cause I don't want to have to apply for new jobs. #the hr rep is a man at this store and I immediately got set on edge and our voice dropped as I stepped back. #then we introduced ourselves with the wrong name and he got confused and I just felt stupid about it #but how am I supposed to know which name he's been told. he didn't even use our paperwork name. Anyway that was a disaster #but we're on track and embarrassment is not a setback but a feeling about the way things progress. and it is progress we're making

[muirneach]

i hate getting references for jobs girl i know you’re not gonna call up these ppl just hire me alreadyyyy

#i always out down my guidance counsellor as a reference cause shes a real one also that’s like. her job #but i need two… do i call up my coworker or not… #shes a real one too but like we’re not friends shes just like. the nicest person at work with some amount of seniority #she would if i ask idk #if i dont do her i have to like. use my guitar teacher 😭 which ive done before #idk what else am i supposed to do #also this is so stupid i quite literally already work at the place im applying to its at the second job at the park #but this is for summer camps so i have to reapply. girl you ALREADY know me!!

[binch-i-might-be]

I just realised that my life is genuinely like. falling apart lmao

#shit job i'll probably lose in like teo months #never hangs out with anyone not my dad #haven't seen my friends in months or longer #flat always dirty and untidy #i have to sign up for uni soon which i don't want to do because i don't give a shit about anything you can study around here #still haven't applied for a new passport and mine is expiring next week #no therapist no psychiatrist even though i've been 'trying' since october 2021 #has massive breakdown every second day #all mental illnesses are worsening #meds stopped working #unable to do anything at all #i can't even work on the book because i feel too bad. there's a pit in my stomach/chest at all times #i feel terrible #also i'm itchy???? for the past few days i've been itching myself to the point of bleeding and idk why #it's not like i'm dirty or anything i just ITCH? #anyway this was a very sobering realisation. like girl this id pathetic #also i'm daydrinking now. whiskey at noon babeyyy #i need to email my old therapist but what if i annoy her and also what if she hates me like every other person associated with me #all my coworkers fucking hate me (no proof just Vibes) and my supervisors OBVIOUSLY despise me #i don't have any friends and everyone hates me........ i love this song #this is like school ages 6-14 all over again #rayrambles

#super excited because i got a job i applied for and it’s going to be much more interesting than my current one #and hopefully less coworker drama #but yeah this is why i haven’t been responding to any asks lately #too much real life stuff happening at once
