Contradictions

You get called mature for your age.....

But people also criticize you for being too childish and immature.

People praise you for being a pleasant and sweet person....

But criticize that you don't act enthusiastic and friendly enough

They appreciate the work you can do and the effort you put into it.....

But if you fail a certain set of tasks they toss you aside and question your ability to learn

They tell you that you're doing too much.....

But what you do is never enough.

They admire how you can pull through, even if you're clearly unwell or sick....

But your health or rather lack there of is a liability for them.

All this is about my own experiences at my various jobs so far. Never was able to work for more than a few months before quitting or being fired.

I am truly at my wits end. I don't think i am good enough for any job long term but i need to do something. I need to build a foundation to live on my own. To do that i need a decent paying job. To get a decent paying job I need to have a proper education. But I can't even study or learn a profession as an apprentice, as I do not have the mental capabilities for that at the moment.

Overwork, health problems, and other struggles

In this post, I want to talk about being overworked with my health problems first. I have been having a rough time at work due to several health problems, and I need a chair to sit and work to make that easier on me, but it is taking forever and I am being told a lot of things about my accommodations that aren't very fair and I don't actually think they're legal either. Hopefully, though I will have the accommodations in a week and a half, but in the meantime, I went out of my way to work a long stretch of 2nd shifts after I'd already worked one 1st shift and it was waaaay too much work. I am so very tired and I could not do anything today I was utterly useless. I don't know how much more of this I can take.

I am so sick and tired of struggling with jobs and my health conditions. I basically have several disabilities due to my health issues and I can't ever seem to get the help I need. This word is just not designed for people with disabilities, the invisible ones in particular. A lot of times we're stuck explaining how we are disabled and what our conditions entail because nobody can see it. I am fed up with being expected to overwork myself and push myself past my limits because I need to make a living. It is entirely too much and too hard and it's unfair.

I am also sick and tired of dealing with people who only care about what they need, want, or have going on and can't see anybody else's struggles. It's the people that feel like their time is SO much more important than yours and you don't need to have a life just keep giving and giving because they need it. These are also the same people who don't care to do their job properly because you'll finish it for them, or they don't care about being late to let you go home because they had to do whatever it was they were doing that made them late for work. It's the people who feel like you owe it to them to bust your but and do whatever it is they need, even if you are telling them you can't.

I am still struggling with people around where I live who don't care about being loud and obnoxious right under the apartment windows, and Saturday there was a couple arguing in the front entryway of our apartment building and I could barely get by so I could go outside to my Uber for work. It was ridiculous. Like you gotta have your fight right there? There's nowhere else you can be having that fight besides in the middle of the way blocking the exit? It was so overwhelming to get past that fight just to go to work and get more overwhelmed, it truly sucked.

To end the post I just want to say that life has to get easier, it cannot continue on being as hard as it is right now. I really hope that I can come back with better things to talk about than the same old neighbors and the same old work complaints. I'd love to have finally moved and come to talk about that, but in the meantime, I will continue to talk about what's going on where I am now. Stick around guys and see what's up with Just Me, next time!

For anyone looking for a job...

Just remember that Elon Musk and Donald Trump have proven that the most bombastically underqualified white men can get the best paying or most powerful jobs out there.

Go into your next job interview with that attitude because you're undoubtedly more qualified than they are and you can muster the same level of bombastic self-belief in your own importance.

When you gotta hear your straight friends talk about men 🤢

[bloodybellycomb]

I genuinely mean it when I say that life becomes at least 30% more manageable whenever you allow yourself to become obsessed with something that is a little bit silly

Sae Niijima is such a good character it drives me insane a little. She's not a mother nor a maternal or doting older sister but instead a twenty four year old who was thrown into a position of responsibility that she never asked for. She loves Makoto just as much as she resents her and its so apparent every time they talk up until November. "Are you studying?" (I want you to do well) (I need you to get a job and stop making my life harder) "I'll use any method necessary to get this promotion" (Life will be easier for us) (So stop distracting me with your problems) "Focus on your future" (I know that you're capable) (I can't afford to waste my time on you, so stop wasting time on others)

Makoto is not only the sole reason she pushes as hard as she does for a promotion, for success, and the reason that she loses herself in her animosity over her fathers death, but also someone she can't stand for so long. Makoto was 14-15 when their father died. Sae was 21. As soon as she got the career she wanted and things started to look up, her stability was robbed from her and she was disillusioned with the system that her father had taught her to rely on and completely adhere to. How do you manage, the daughter of a cop, following his footsteps towards law enforcement, when you're suddenly reminded of how unfair it is? You can't quit, your little sister relies on you and she's so young and struggling just as badly with this grief. So you pick yourself up and you get moving again. You push harder, press further. You abandon your morals and your ethics because punishing criminals (guilty or not) is almost like punishing the man who killed your father.

And the whole time she's fighting for promotions, going for drinks with the SIU Director to make herself more favourable for promotions, trying to navigate being a woman in a competitive, suffocating, male-dominated field, falling behind despite doing so much where others are promoted for doing so little - all the while your little sister comes back from school and her biggest issues are so small compared to yours.

Persona 5 revolves so heavily around grief and loss and change and Sae embodies all of that so well, all of the sharp and unpleasant and jagged parts of grief.

Been fired today;

not a lot of people talk about this dynamic but im. obsessed with how Jorgen called Peri "Peri-Weri" in "Lost in Fairy World".

i mean. Jorgen and Cosmo are related. Cosmo was the last fairy born before Peri due to his powerful magic (most likely to do with the Jorgen Von Strangle lineage in him). Peri was just as powerful if not more powerful when he was a baby. Jorgen is all about buffness, strength, and power, throughout the original series!

Why wouldnt he be overly familiar with Peri? The next only fairy baby to be born in a thousand years? This is a whole new child with an entire undecided future ahead of him! Is it not a coincidence that one such career path was offered by the Tooth Fairy? Anyways

its kinda funny that the chaotix are like the only characters who mention having to pay rent or buy food or whatever and theyll take any job that pays because theyre desperate for money but none of the other characters are struggling in this department at all even though most of them dont seem to have jobs. its like the concept of needing money to live exists for no one in the sonic universe EXCEPT for vector espio and charmy

Better and worse right now

I am back and things are both better and worse right now. I have found some things that help, like accommodations at school and tutoring, breaking things down, rewarding myself for what I complete, and a really solid planner/schedule/journaling system that works pretty well for me. I have been getting a lot of work done around the house lately and I finally finished English Comp 1. I passed but just barely.

Work is not going at all well yet. I am still getting 3 days a week and not being able to really use my accommodations at work like I should be able to. It just gets worse and worse for me at my job and I feel like it's killing me in pieces. I end up in so much pain by the 3rd of my work days that I can hardly walk and am completely drained. The pain lingers around in various stages of severity until I have to go back and do it again. I can't stand the place and don't want to return but I have no options. I am getting my unemployment and I wouldn't even be able to make ends meet if I didn't.

I wish I could just get the help I need not to work myself into the ground all the time. I really wish I could just get a job where I don't have to stand up where it's actually just a seated job and works with my skills and limitations rather than working against my limitations and not utilizing all of my skills. It shouldn't have to be this doggone hard just to live, It truly shouldn't. I would get SSI I am eligible but I worry that I will just get a no because my income and unemployment combined are too much. It really sucks that they look at that before they look at your medical issues. I just wish I could stop working and still have money to live on, that's all I want. Winning the lottery would be SO great, but those odds are so bad I don't even want to go there.

The car wash guys are still being their usual obnoxious selves but it got hot enough for my AC unit to go in the window so I can drown them out much better now with my fan and AC on. They still get right under my apartment window and smoke though which is annoying when I do open my window because it's cooler out and I don't necessarily need AC to have to smell their weed on my nice breeze. I am so tired of these guys that's one of the many reasons my boyfriend and I are saving up to move out as much as we can each paycheck because we GOTTA be out of here before we need heat again. The heat here is ridiculous and we don't want to spend another winter dealing with it.

Another thing frustrating for me right now is I can't afford my new glasses and I can't see very well at all right now. My prescription changed a LONG time ago, and my year between annual eye exams and insurance-covered glasses passed in February. My insurance doesn't cover my vision needs well at all. My glasses are STILL over $400 even with the insurance because they only cover 30% and my eye exam was basically $200. The contact lens eye exam isn't even covered so I couldn't even get an updated contact prescription to do that instead. They also cost an arm and a leg but are less than my ridiculous ass glasses. This is ridiculous, it shouldn't be this hard to get the very thing I need to be able to actually see.

Finally, I just want to say that life shouldn't have to be this hard, and stupid, toxic, fake people shouldn't make it worse. People just want to take everything they can and give nothing in return. So many people only call when they want something. Other than that you don't even hear from them and especially when you need something they're nowhere to be found. A lot of people are only your friend for what they can get out of it, and it sucks. All the fake, toxic, stupid, hating people need to get a life, and stay out of mine, seriously. Until next time, when you see what's going on next with Just Jen.

sometimes stressful situations just kind of start to work themselves out and whenever that happens i kinda just have to take a minute to breathe and force myself to think “maybe i am okay”

Job search troubles :(

Been struggling to find a job lately , I’ve been active looking but no dice yet . I do have hope though 💕 recently to move to a new place so I’m basically starting from scratch and it been both exciting but also scary . Sorry about vent about this but it does feel better to write some thought out

It was Maid Day today yesterday a week ago so I got struck by inspiration to draw the worsties, and it ran away from me into a whole AU where they’re coworkers at a maid cafe. She’s a med student & this is just a part time job, and this is his depression job while he gets his life back together. He needs something he can be workaholic about to forget what it’s like having a personal life and personal issues. He’s actually the accountant, but the new hire janitor (Izutsumi) doesn’t show up for half her shifts and is a sloppy worker, so he gets the extra work of doing her job on top of his because he’s undervalued and overworked. Of course, janitors also have an uniform to keep the aesthetic cohesion as they go about cleaning the place, of course.

Senshi’s the part time cook you only see slivers off, he’s kind and warm when you do see him and have a chat but most shifts he’s in and out the kitchen without a trace. Laios and Falin are regulars because Falin and Marcille are besties & in the same med school, Laios accompanies Falin as she visits her friend at work and gets hooked on the food. Chilchuck has to remind Marcille to work instead of chatting with Falin for an hour, and next thing he knows she’s distracting him from work too. That’s it that’s the AU. Inspired by this idol AU fanart a bit <3

This was not meant to be birthday gift but well…… Happy bday Chil!!!
