August 30th, 2009

Mental Walls are Cracking...

And I'm slapping cement in between the crumbling pieces. My walls are coming down and I feel like I'm a failure at life.

I wake up in the morning or afternoon, an hour before I have to go to work, drag my ass to the mirror in the bathroom and ask myself every day, "What the fuck are you doing with your life?" I've really become the equivalent to House at work. I have a lot of physical pain that comes and goes while I work at Best Buy, and I've been in the role for so long that I regularly take manager issues as well as get interrupted at least 3 times per sale for questions from other associates,and even Geek Squad agents come out to the floor to consult me on issues or policy. Not to mention I hate people with an undying passion...the general populous are untrained, ignoramic lemmings sucking on the tit of delusion that the world revolves around their little infintesimal cluster of useless cells that they call a brain...it makes me sick the idiocy and astonishment that I hear daily that businesses are actually trying to make money and rape the ever loving shit out of the consumer's wallets...

Every day I walk in that place I want to put a bullet into my brain.

I've thought of leaving...but job prospects here in the good old Cincishitty are horrifyingly bad. And I apologize about all the work journals but all I've been doing is eating, sleeping, working, surfing online...because that's all I have time for...I've also thought about going back to school for an associates or getting my bachelor's degree at an accelerated college...because I don't have time for school.

Only things keeping me sane right now, is that Im cleaning my room. So far I've thrown away 27 bags of trash, donated 12 boxes of books, and given 2 boxes/bags of clothes to my best friend cause he wanted/needed them. Ale8 is as always keeping me from insanity...as well as this community and of course, music...

What was funny, is that people that call me a friend have gone out of their way to ridicule me in ways that I was probably too touchy about but in all honesty, they should have known that stupid shit like that would piss me off because they've known me for years. I refuse to name names in the incident, even though it would be righteously liberating, but I really don't feel like having stupid drama continue its vicious cycle rape its way around the internet once again...

tl;dr: All work and no play make Spam go crazy...

Is there any way you could cut your hours back at work so you could attend school?

P.S. I wish we had Ale8 in the NW so we could lure you our direction.

I totally hear you on that one.

By the way, would a Monday morning plant tour work (Jan. 11th)? That would be a much better fit in the grand scheme of the trip.

I have it the other way... school is frustrating me and I can't find a job that will work. And yes, I've felt like a failure a lot these days, too. I'm just hoping to figure it all out and it just hasn't happened yet.

I want you to keep your head up, find something you can really enjoy (even in your spare time) and stay in touch on here so we can tell you how great you are.

We've all got something that drives us nuts, and right now I'm at my wit's end about what to do with my car's ignition problems. All I know for sure is that I'm switching mechanics ASAP........

Hey man, don't let it get to you too much. Just keep plugging forward with your life and it will eventually get better. Maybe see a doctor for some mood medicine or something. Otherwise, just remember we're always here for you. Keep on going man!

I understand (as probably most people here) your pain. Me personally, I have to work 4 days a week, 10 hour shifts. I get the dumbest of the dumb calling me. I loose minutes of my life that I can never have back, and I burn brain cells in the process. I have stress headaches from hell. One of them just yesterday. I have fought the urge to pick up the phone & scream at whoever is on the other line & hang up. I don't answer the phone at my house now because I have to do it at work all the time.

I thought about leaving my job about 3 times since starting 6 years ago. Everytime I do, I look across the room to where my husband is talking on the phone to some idiot that didn't know that "check engine" means to "check your engine", and I smile. I know it's at those times I won't be going anywhere as long as he is here.

I think my incredibly long winded point is that you should look around & see what's keeping you there.

I wish I had something insightful I could put here about the merits of sticking with it all and how it will all come out okay in the end, but having not gone through a period like this it would be disingenuous at best for me to do so.

What I can say is that you're a great person and a fantastic friend, and my life is enriched for knowing you. So if work is a part of your life that makes you feel bad, try to focus on the parts that make you feel good: RvB, friends, Ale8 addictions, good music.

No kidding. I've had a very similar statement to this one rattling around in my brain for literally YEARS now.

I think that would make anyone go crazy. With this in mind, we'll see how I hold up this semester...

A few months ago when I was let go and then absorbed into another department, I was like “forks in, I’m done”

The truth is, a job is a job. It’s work.

If you hate your job and it makes you miserable… more importantly, if you get home and obsess on how much it sucks… look for another job.

Just know for the most part, work is going to suck. Just try to find work that doesn’t suck so utterly for you.

On an unrelated note:

Dude…almost totally bought you a little stuffed piggy with a spam shirt on from the Minnesota State fair!

I thought about it, and despite the label… I don’t think Spam contains any actual pork… or animal.

Well that and getting a dude a stuffed animal is a bit odd unless it’s on a manly pike or something that screams “man”.

:D

Mostly because I don’t have your address

I blame Best Buy in general, I work there as a sales rep, I don't even work for fucking best buy! And it feels as if the place is sucking every waking second out of my life....

As for advice.....maybe taking after House isn't such a bad idea. Though this is coming from someone who has hated people as much as that most of his life.

It seems that I've been leaning heavily on music lately to help me cope with stress and other shit. Mostly downtempo, ambient... stuff like that to calm the nerves.
