Weird couple days

 Work's been basically nuts last couple of days. And honestly, I'm doing my best not to lose my cool more than I already did today, because I have been lied to my face, bullied, and generally treated like crap for over a year now, and today I totally lost my ever loving s**t. I had a meltdown ON THE LINE, y'all. Just too much stress, too much pain in my foot, and I couldn't take it any longer. Our sole lead is a good kid, and he did his best to let me blubber it out while rubbing my back. His wife is one lucky woman for him to be that careful when a gal is falling apart in front of him. And I'm old enough that it is long past being hormones. It's just the total stress load and I can't take much more. The shop has got to take off because otherwise, I have a feeling I'll end up off work for a while for mental health issues. Can't afford that, so just yuck.

Yesterday wasn't too horrible other than halfway to lunch, the chiller motor blew up on us and we were down for two hours while it got fixed. Today though...equipment malfunctions that weren't too bad in general, but overall just made for a lot more work, to where I had to prioritize what I did over trying to do everything I should be doing. The guy who was training for over a week for my spot ended up being put on "helping" with condemned haul today instead of doing my job, which is supposed to now be his job so I can do other things. One of the gals down my line decided at first potty break to try to tell me I needed to do better at my job and she's not even management, and I went off on her. Actually told her to shut up, it's not my fault things are crap, and not to try me because today was NOT her day. To my surprise, she shut up and left me alone the rest of the day. Then I was just so stressed by everything of late that I fell apart about an hour later. Not my most shining moment. 

At least the day is over and this week, no Friday. Plus Monday off for a four-day weekend to work on the biz and see what I can do with it, because that or a different job are my future. I'm done with that stupid hellhole as soon as I can manage it. I'm miserable and there's no point in trying to deal with it any longer. Screw 'em. They want to treat me like garbage, I'm done and they can bully someone else and lie to them.

Happier moment - pictures!










I also tend to call them crotch fruit and crotch goblins....just putting that out there.








I know, it's silly, but it's funny.


Well, that is what it says, isn't it?


Today would have been one of those days for me.


YES! THIS!

Just a thought here...

 But work-wise, COVID changed so much for the world as far as how we work. For two years, work was done remotely as much as possible. Now there are several ways to work - full time in office, mixed (part time in the office and part time remote), and fully remote. Employers have learned that remote work still gets done and often much better and faster than in-house. With less distractions, work can be done more easily. Which made me think just now, with so many companies going full remote on everything they can, which saved boatloads of money on expensive leases for office space, a lot of this office space is going to go to waste. What need for skyscrapers and fancy, expensive offices other than to prove that the men in charge of leading these companies have a need to compensate for a lack of something elsewhere? Which also made me think, I've had a few good sites for remote work bookmarked for ages and done nothing with them. As I'm still employed but seriously looking for empl...

Today wasn't really any better

 As I'm no longer a "top dasher," making any money today was almost a bust. $24...woohoo. I need to try up in Green Forest, where the plant is, tomorrow and see how that does me. No midrange restaurants there, just a diner that closes early, a gas station with a bunch of food type things (chicken, tacos, etc.), and a small handful of low-midrange restaurants. I can give it a whirl for a few hours and see what happens. Worst that happens is the nothing I'm doing now and I come back to home base to make SOMETHING. On the other hand, come Saturday,  I start a new 3/4 time job at a local gas station. It's pretty regular and will at least keep the rent paid and the credit cards paid that all the bills are going on right now. Going to be a bit tight for a while till I can get back to top dasher status, which will be hard with only two days a week off anymore, and working till close every night. By the time the gas station closes, all the restaurants are done too, except...

Whoopsie!

 I didn't realize it had been so long since I'd posted. No wonder the pictures have been piling up on my computer. Things have been a bit crazy lately. Work has been insane with breakdowns and people missing or general what have you. I worked a point off end of last week, and then this week, used it on Thursday because my body was screaming bloody murder at me. I woke up and everything was still aching from the night before, from head to toe, quite literally. I could barely walk to get the dog outside for a potty run and get me some breakfast. (The zoo gets dinner right now because of the heat, instead of breakfast, so it doesn't spoil before they get it all eaten.) I've been in a bit of a glum spell lately as well. I'm kind of bummed out by the job, working on the shop and seeing how fast I can grow the product offerings so I can draw more traffic and of course, get more sales. Work's been giving us a lot of hours, to where I've been getting overtime every ...
