Ugh, office life, am I right? Got a boss that makes you wanna scream? A coworker who's... special? Spill the tea here! Let's rant, laugh, and maybe even find some sanity together.

hello everyone

i hope everyone’s doing well these days.

just letting everyone know that i will go on an indefinite hiatus from writing. my current job and workload is taking up too much of my time and energy that even weekend resets haven’t been enough. this is, at worst, slowly affecting my health, as writing also takes up a lot of my time to conjure.

i am chronically (as much as i am embarrassed to admit) online on twitter for shohei ohtani brainrot, #workrant and others! lol if u ever want to chat, don’t hesitate to hit me up!

i hear spring is coming to other parts of the world, i hope you keep warm and healthy! for tropical countries like mine, summer is nearing. let’s stay hydrated!

dreaming of rainy summer days,

annie 🐈

Ang unfair lang na nagtratrabaho ka, tapos yung iba over pa sa overbreak 🫠🥴 And hindi mo pwede e-escalate kasi kasama ang Manager. Ugh

Bye GM, Hello Panic Attack

Walked into my café the other day and the three managers were having a meeting, waited for a bit to chat with the Assistant GM about a few things and if she could talk it over with our GM since she would see him before I would?

No more GM.

I stared at her and asked what happened? Did he get promoted, moved, quit, fired?

No answer. He is no longer with us. Cool, cool, looks like it's on you now buddy, she wasn't exactly thrilled about it. Shame since he was doing so much better. Relayed the info to my boss.

Catering manager comes up a couple hours later says she gotta use my cooler and disappears into there while I go about my business with my work and music blaring into my ear. Go to the freezer come back and find her and an associate chilling in my area, like... I need this space. My space is limited and I need to keep moving, I don't have time for visits...

She's crying.

Ah.

Associate trying to comfort her. Cute kid, 19yo, going to school for personal fitness/trainer, very positive. Been chatting with the catering manager cause she's been trying to switch to baker. She's full blown having a mental breakdown now.

Me: uNcoMfoRtaBle...uncomfortable....

She's calming down and trying to breath as she has a panic attack, trying to work through it, breathing slows. Associate,"it's okay, nobody is gonna judge you, we all have problems it's not just you." Panic attack intensifies. She's not breathing now, stutters when she does.

I need my work space. *sigh* I step between them and put space between her and the boy, he means well I know he does. I demand her to slow her breathing, she's freaking out and lookin to the boy, I tell her to stare only at me and match my breathing, slow intake, slow exhale. She slowly comes out of panic mode. Stops crying (why do people come to my corner to cry?!) He's trying to help, still saying words, I ask him to help by fetching a glass of water. He runs off like the good child he is.

Her "I know he's trying to be nice"

I laugh, remind her to breathe, "boys always trip over their words. I sent him to get you water for that reason"

She smiles and is breathing normally when he comes back with a tall glass of ice and water. I send him to go get a chair, he comes back with one and she sits. We stick with her for a few more minutes, I just want my work space back, he's saying that nobody will be mean to her. I look at her and tell her if someone says anything to her she can come tell me and I will rip their ass in half. "Only I can laugh at you got it?!" She nods. "Okay, get back to work now and lets get done so we can cry at home where its safe" she laughs. To be fair, only I get to pick on anyone in the cafe, I will shove a bitch into the oven if they make my kids cry.

Anyhow took thirty minutes to calm her and get my work area back, but if not it would have taken longer. She went back to work and I reminded her to take it one task at a time. The kids listened and came to me if they had any questions when she was busy.

Which is fine I guess, most the kids and new hires are scared of me anyhow.

Welp.

Got the call this morning. I’ll be losing the job that provides health/dental/vision at the end of February. (It’s contract shenanigans, and my boss was surprised and not at all happy to receive or deliver that news.)

Save me, Obamacare.

We have 8 stations at work. The owner hired a new guy without the manager knowing. So I came in today with the new guy using my Thursday- Saturday station and apparently he used some of MY stuff (blow-dryer,etc). The thing is last Saturday, my stuff was moved so Sue can use the station. Keyword: moved! This guy kept my stuff there and used it and acted like I gave him permission. I have no clue who this guy is. I didn't know why he was there when I walked in to work today to see an incorrectly dressed older man standing at my station. I had to wait 30 minutes for someone to leave so I could have a station and move my stuff to it. #workrant https://www.instagram.com/p/BtEnHuIFeTv/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=hzjk9u67xq4z

Today at Walmart

Today I had a customer who ordered 9 boxes of crackers for his online grocery pick up order.

Yes, you read that correctly.. 9 boxes of crackers.

I said "hi there were a couple of substitutions for you today, it looks like you ordered 9 boxes of salt and pepper crackers, but we only had 5. So we substituted 4 boxes for you with the original flavor crackers"

And he said "Why did I even come here then?"

I asked if I could take off the substitutions, or just give him a refund for the order.

He said "Take off the substitutions. I don't even know why I am here." Mind you, you have to opt in to get your items substituted.

He asked me again.

"Why am I even here"

And I said

"I d o n ' t k n o w, s i r"

So THEN I asked him to sign for the order and he said no. He wanted to speak to a manager.

TL;DR

Fuck that cracker guy.

I hope he eats all of them with no water.

A little kid had a tantrum today at my job and we had to clean up after it. The teachers couldn't do anything to stop him but lock him in the classroom to make a bigger mess. Now we might have to replace the carpet and put locks on the cabinets. And the super intendant doesn't want to bill anyone (THE PARENTS!!!) because he doesn't want to make them pay for anything This is why we need to spank kids. Kids are assholes now a days and you can't do anything about it. I don't care if The PC Police think that its abuse, it needs to be done so this shit doesn't happen in schools because guess who has to clean it up. The janitors and maintenance people.

Work work work

Workrant incoming, if you don’t want to read that don’t read it ;)

I work in education as an English teacher (yes I still make mistakes and weird sentences sometimes, don’t judge me). I work at a college and I mostly teach to people studying to work in security. But the team I work for is a shitshow. We started a new course last year and there are tons of problems with it. One colleague is gone with burnout. 3 more have decided to quit their jobs over the last 5 months. When I said shitshow, I meant shitshow. It’s a sinking ship. Anyway. The new course has tons of problems, among which is that the examination isn’t recorded correctly in the document that has our teaching plans and planning for the course. So now they can’t graduate when they were supposed to. The students are incredibly disheartened. Our boss doesn’t really seem to care, either that or he just doesn’t know how to handle it. But we are sinking. I’m their mentor, which means a lot of study questions come to me. I have no answers for them as I am not a teacher towards their future job, so I have no clue about all the exams they do besides the English and maybe the Dutch ones. 

Anyway, I don’t know what I want others to do with this information, but I really needed to write about it, because it’s maddening.

Stop telling me to not sell myself short. Start elevating your fucking standards.

I hate that my most mediocre work is being held at such high regard when it is what it is: mediocre. It’s not humble bragging; it’s knowing I could’ve done a lot better if I actually put real work in it. YOU should know better, too. I’m so done with working with mediocre people who tolerate mediocre output. Step the fuck up.

[fraxtured-reality]

I hate our new fucking manager.

She’s a massive thunder cunt, and has been out of frontline work for so long she has no fucking clue.

I hope she has a fucking stroke and dies. Or better, I hope someone puts a fucking bullet between her eyes.

Useless fucking cunt.

I totally live when my set schedule changes to some totally random times and days so I can't make any plans or do anything on the shorter days because I'm scheduled in the middle of the fucking day. Like thanks, it's not like I need structure or anything and totally don't mind yoh screwing me over by scheduling me on days so slow I won't make any money. I had no warning for this. I literally woke up, looked at my schedule, realized I'm gonna be late because my shift got moved up, and that the next two weeks are chaotic and random. Like I actually had plans for this month that I made a month ago, but nope. Doesn't matter because I'm 19 with no kids or spouse so that means I can just be put wherever. I hate this salon so goddamn much.

Honestly if the public could stop collectively ramming their unlubed fists up my ass for even a second itd be great thanks
