Why does nothing ever go normally for me. Why is nothing ever straightforward. Just once, when someone tells me they’re going to email me something important, can they actually ✨do it✨

#this woman really said (yesterday) that the enrollment forms i need to sign would be with me by the end of the day. Yesterday #i’m going to give it until friday before i chase them up because shit happens. but i am once again asking why it always seems to happen #to me specifically #like at my current job; i was the only person who didn’t get any info about orientation #because my phone just randomly decided it didn’t want to receive texts from my manager’s phone. i would’ve missed my first day at work #if she hadn’t called me to be like ‘hey are you good? are you getting these messages?’ i was like ‘i am NOT getting these messages thank you #so much for checking’ and she was able to explain to me where to be and at what time and what would happen to me #or like when i started my teacher training course and i was told i’d receive an email telling me when class was starting and what room #and which CAMPUS (because the college i went to is part of a chain and they run the same courses at all the campuses #so you can sometimes transfer back and forth if you move or it’s more convenient to get to [x town] or whatever)#and i ended up missing the first day and getting a ‘where are you’ message. UHHH NO ONE TOLD ME CLASS HAD STARTED YET #i was in my house unaware that i was taking part in an unauthorised absence #showed up the next day and i literally hadn’t missed anything though lol. day 1 had been ALL icebreakers. yes all #that course was basically clown school but anyway #i also had to chase up the time of a job interview once. they told me the date weeks in advance but never the time. i had to email them #4 days before like ‘hello??? i kind of study full time and teach part time right now… i can’t just clear a whole day #may i please have an eta please.’ and then after the interview i never heard back lol #for all i know i’m the new deputy librarian at the university of [redacted] and i’ve been no-call no-showing for a year lol #like sometimes i just feel like mercury is perpetually in retrograde for me. that’s what it is #like i don’t understand why people say they’re going to send a communication and then they just don’t and you have to chase it up. like hi.#i know you get funding if i join your institution.. is this any way to behave #say what you want about me as a person but if i say i’m going to send an email i fucking do it #i cry the whole time but i do it.#personal
