Not awful at all, all very relatable.
Two weeks! So why haven’t you started a GoFundMe yet? Or recorded a charity record? Sponsored walk? Shame on you!

Kind words, @realdoctor, and much appreciated.
One of the more frustrating things about my job is that I know I can provide real value to the company, but the things I do very well are things that are exclusively done oversees. In my company the US personnel is essentially management and client interfacing, planning and, well, paper-pushing. I’m more of a “tell me what you need and I’ll find a way to make it happen” personality, and not at all comfortable with the “This is what I need, find a way to make it happen” side of things.
It’ll be really funny if it turns out I’m reading all this wrong and they really are trying to find a way to help me be successful. I’d have to come back here and apologize for all my self-pity wallowing and stuff!
I really do appreciate everyone’s thoughts, but I do want to keep things in perspective. When I think of people getting deported and sent to prison with no due process, for example, my job situation seems awfully trivial by comparison. I mean, some of those prisons don’t even have TARDIS Guide access, so I have to remember to count my blessings, right?

Extremely frustrating lunch because something like this happened again but constantly and worse. Went out with these two people for lunch and kept trying to join in on the conversation or even talking during lulls and just kept getting talked over. At the end one of them (the one who apologised last time) apologised and did say to interrupt more and the thing is… I actively tried! Repeatedly! But my interruptions were getting interrupted too!
No malice is meant and I know this. We’re all neurodivergent and we’re all yappers. But it’s just very infuriating

I’m just constantly unwell lately Yet another different sickness plaguing me but hopefully I’ll feel better later. On a positive note, today was the premiere of Drag Race USA All Stars S10 and it was so good!! My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed it so at least there’s that !

After at least a solid week of first being sick and then struggling immensely with my mental health and with eating because of both of those, I finally feel like things are looking up again!
I made Bruschetta with my brother:
(Not the best picture but it was so tasty)
I hope that I can now use the weekend to catch up on classes a bit, and that I’ll manage some lectures again next week, because this week i couldn’t even make it through one if I’d gotten myself to uni.

Posted about this on my close friends IG story and my best pal from high school (who I’m still in touch with but we don’t talk super often) sent me the sweetest message about how he’s much more mindful of interrupting people because of our group being bad for cross talk at school, and he thinks of me and the stuff I have to say every time and he’s always valued my input. Really appreciate the kind words from him, and it’s honestly made up for all these frustrations because it was so out of nowhere

From the picture it looks like you chopped him up very fine. Those little brother bits almost look like tomatoes.

Made my day: I’m going to my high school teachers wedding , and I’m sure I’ll see the others too I missed them so much!
Not made my day: My grandma had a caretaker in 2023 and let me tell you she was just so disrespectful and believed my mom was treating her awfully (She never did anything besides giving normal warnings if she did something wrong) and today she came back to visit my grandma??? And I heard she accused me of being rude to her too , I never even had a single dialogue with her besides from saying “hello” “how was your day?”

By the way , she said my grandma’s mind was decaying in front of my grandma. It’s been a while since then but it still pisses me off whenever I remember it. My grandma has a dementia WHY WOULD YOU SAY SOMETHING LIKE THIS IN FRONT OF HER?? Fortunately hers is not severe she only mostly forgets more recent stuff (like how old I am for example) and she already doubts herself a lot and thinks she is not as “smart” as she used to be anymore (I wasn’t there but my cousin was and he told her off luckily) so why would someone say something as weird as this???

Not making my day:
Having to get up at 5.00 am tomorrow to send my daughter off on a school trip to Wales for a week and then send my eldest off for their second day of GCSEs (English Lit and Computer Science).
Nerves are frayed…

Doesn’t sound fun.
I’ve been shifting to more of a normal sleep schedule, but 5 am still sounds more like “I’m up too late and need to get to sleep” to me then “time to get up”…
