Ohhhhhh.
So you want me to stay late today?
No. Fuck you.
Out of solidarity,
I just deleted all of my voicemails. I don’t care.
I DON’T CARE.
What would I do if I quit my job today?
Well, for starters, I could actually, you know, write for a living again. I could wake up when I wanted. I could volunteer. I could do some stupid parttime job that I couldn’t care fuck-all about. I could learn to cook. I could spend time with my husband. I could get back into reading more.
God, this list could go on forever.

I’m pissed and frustrated at the same time. This is overwhelming.
I can’t go running because my foot is still screwed up.
I’ve decided to be passive aggressive and clean dishes.
Take that, world.
I love this.

@ kennedy
That’s kind of how I feel already. I have to force myself to come in here. I absolutely HATE it when I walk through the doors. And they do not give two fucks about it.
I am 100% done with this shit. Done. But I was actually really proud of myself for being bitchy in front of my boss’ boss. That’s how much I don’t care.
@ mamafratelli
Honestly, I’m not surprised. I’m halfway wanting to quit this county and just get hired on in the other county as a new entry. I mean, this shit is ridiculous. I have mental and emotional needs here and I might actually go crazy.
They even used the “Well, we helped you out back when so you should help us out now” and all I can do is try not to cry. But I didn’t, thank God. I did whip back with, well, I was also helping you out by coming in as a new caseworker when you were having a mass exodus, so technically, I’ve already paid you back in spades.”
I am so mad/sad/upset/panicky/etc right now.
Fuck it.
I just found out today that I will not be getting my requested transfer because they can’t afford to lose any more people.
I may just be quitting, guys. I may just in fact be quitting.
I left a message earlier for a client who I thought was a woman. However, he was very upset when I called him back because he states he is all man. Well, okay then.

I’m not shocked because OMG sex, I’m offended because that’s kind of chauvinistic. I can just hear the Helvetica laden powerpoint about how “men are visual and can’t help it” and how women just aren’t turned on that way...

Oh, for the sake of fucks everywhere.
Seriously, if you have been receiving food stamps for one year, you should KNOW exactly what verifications we require. If you are working, give us the last 8 weeks of income; if you are paying rent and utilities, provide us with new bills to verify that you are, in fact, still paying them. If you are adding another person to your case, have IDs and Social Security cards for them, because, you...
Half of the time, I wish you guys knew all the acronyms I use at work and so you would understand how absolutely ludicrous my job is.
Example:
All of my 03 slots are filled and then the remaining recerts are placed in 27 slots, but the computer is stupid, so it ALSO puts the remaining recerts in 03 slots the following month, so that means that the client receives two letters, is ridiculously...

Today, all the things can suck a fuck.
Apparently, today is rife with stupidity.
I have clients who have received letters, saying their appointments are today but they are actually tomorrow; there are people driving like total assholes everywhere; it’s cold; my supervisor thought it would be a good use of his time to come and talk to me about Shrek: The Musical when I was on the phone with a client; this list could go on forever, but I am already done with today.

And now… he’s back to playing these zombie invasion levels.
I can’t take it. Too much anxiety for me. And - there’s my completely rational fear of the zombie apocalypse. That’s an issue, too.
This is why I can’t play Resident Evil. Or any zombie-themed video games. I’m like, THIS COULD TOTALLY HAPPEN.
I really need to stop reading comments about New Orleans on the internet. It just pisses me off.
Anybody on my dash a whippet owner?
hermionedanger:
I’ve been quietly doing research and keep seeing them pop up as good apartment dogs. Anybody have experience with them? I’ve never owned an inside dog, for the record; we always had herding dogs and hounds on the ranch. My brother has an indoors chocolate Lab, but they have a house and a fenced yard.
Whippets are amazingly sweet dogs. The only problem I’ve ever had with...

Aaaaaaaaaand unfollowed.
I really don’t like it when people mock suicide. I mean, really? Really???
wisearoundtheclock replied to your post:Well, it looks like I’ll be doing an unfollowing…
Come on, you love antiquated philosophical views!
Don’t we all????
Yeah.
That was a reference to a Twitter person who won’t stop bolding “suicide” and “fuck you” and God knows what else. And it’s getting ridiculous.
Well, it looks like I’ll be doing an unfollowing soon. My God, dude, shut the fuck up.
