B!TC# IT OUT!

...Your brother is wrong :\ you *can* move parts from one PC to another. It does depend somewhat on compatibility, but there's no reason at all he should have looked at you like you were stupid.

[Merman Dan]

I finally, get a no and an awful look, like I'm the most dumbest person and the ugliest thing he stepped on.

I have a 14-year-old son who is like that; simultaneously annoyed by everything and annoying to everyone. Seriously, it must be his mutant power.

It's the mutant power of all middle schoolers/early high schoolers. I teach 13 year old special needs kids and they still manage to pull that off. As I always say to them: "Please stop before I stab myself in the eyes and jab out my eardrums."

Ugh. I've been double cast as a male lead in the college musical and double cast with a first year.

I've been here for years and I had to wait until my final year to get here. Now I'm sharing the role, which was fine at first, even considering he's a first year. But now I just feel like the teachers put him first and praise his performance so much more. I literally feel like an understudy even though I'm cast A.

I just cba with the whole thing and want to leave. Gah.

I've done 3 shows total with my current company and I understand how you feel. in total I have done 20(21?) shows and I'm still always ensemble. So we're doing Into the Woods. I audition with a song from the show. I get a callback for Little Red. two girls that have never done a show with the company before are both cast and guess what? I'm part of the ensemble that is put in numbers that shouldn't have ensemble in them. I did damn well on the callback and the audition. Theatre is frustrating.

I am not technically inclined. I only know how to use software not fix computers. I ask my brother who is an IT person, "If something in there (my current pc) needs fixing, can I get the part from my old pc to fix it?" I get this... He tells Mum, "She's either deaf or stupid. See she's not listening to anything I say." Then blabbers on about why I shouldn't need more ram. They way he always talks to me, its like scolding a little kid!! After 5 mins of scolding, I say, "I understand what you mean. I just want to know if my computer can have parts from the other ones. Yes or no, that's all I want to know." I finally, get a no and an awful look, like I'm the most dumbest person and the ugliest thing he stepped on.

Much annoyance! Even his kids have picked up that tone of voice when they talk to me. I'm going to try an experiment. I won't ignore them but I won't talk to them unless they talk to me nicely first.

I wonder if he talks to his clients the same way he talks to me...

That's an IT thing. Seriously. They all think everyone non-IT is a scourge of the planet and should not be tolerated.

As for his kids, tell them that! "I'm not talking to you until you talk to me with respect."

[Mermaid Jaffa]

His wife talks to me in the same condescending tone too. Seems as we get older, I don't get along with any of my family.

Its like my Grandma always says, one talks apples and the other talks about ducks. Nothing in common!

[PearlieMae]

Sounds like it's their problem, to me!

[Mermaid Jaffa]

They say I'm unsocial and rude. That I say things without thinking. I say it how it is but they find it too...what's the word... abrasive?

I don't lie and make shit up. Its just the way I've always been. I don't talk much but when I do they find problems with it. Like recently for example, I know my sis in law's Mum has terminal cancer.
Me: Why can't she hang out here?
Sis in law: Don't you know anything?
Me: I know your Mum has cancer and chemo. Seems a bit lonely and boring if she can't hang out with the rest of us.
Sis in law with a look: She can't come here because her immunity is low.
Me: Nobody here is sick. And if someone had explained to me the whole thing, but since nobody did. I just assumed she'd be fine. Be nice if sometimes people tell the whole truth and not just ignore me just because you don't value my opinions.

And get this, she wants all of us to go out for dinner with her Mum, but we're not allowed to hang out with her, or her Mum come over to our place. They only way is to say, I got the sniffle and can't go. But if I don't go, I'm not showing my support... WTH...

Got written up today for taking a phone call in the hall while regular students were taking a state standardized test--even though my students don't test. HATE THE SCHOOL SYSTEM SO MUCH. I am soooooo happy to be resigning! Goodbye life of hell, greetings new journey!

And yes, TEACHERS get written up.

[SeaGlass Siren]

I was at work super early in the morning. Blegh .

And it was just me last night till 10pm and 9:30am this morning till now. It was just an onslaught of impatient parents and he worst part wan it was only me and my two managers and one was indisposed of to process out new shipment so it was me stuck at the register putting product out, cleaning, and ringing the guests out and answering phones. Bah. Some people just aren't understanding. And even though I'm in the middle of ringing guests out some people keep trying to get t attention for help even though there's a long line up. Very trying day today. -.-

I believe I have Imposter Syndrome.

I learned about this recently, and it's pretty much me to a tea. It nails down how I felt at my last workplace because I always felt like an outsider; that any moment now they would realise how bad I was at my job and fire me. As a result, I kept a bare desk, ready to leave at a moments notice.
Same with mermaiding, I am convinced that people are just joking around when they like my page or compliment me on my videos. As such, I'm reluctant to make more mermaiding videos and it just spirals from there.

[Mer-Crazy]

But I love your mermaiding videos Annwyn! And I mean that 100% I've been wating for you to upload more since you re-started your page

I want to swim again, but at the moment I just don't have the testicular fortitude. I need to get over this stupid hurdle. I'm guilt riddled from not working that I stay at home all the time and have stopped looking after myself. (On the plus side, writing this out helps immensely.)

And you know what else?! This morning, my SO has to go to work, so he's flown into this snotty-ass attitude and to deal with it, he goes to hide all but two of my mugs. Not that I have a lot of mugs, about 6. Apparently it's too much to constantly wash, even though I've just done the dishes. Then he storms out the house without even saying goodbye. He'll probably come back tonight with his tail between his legs but fuck me, if that isn't the most annoying shit ever. It's like I have to deal with my own shit AND his. GAH!!!!!!! XC

Woah teachers get written up?! That is crazy!!! Good luck on your new journey!

Jaffa I am sorry that your family doesn't understand you and that some of them talk down to you. I wish I knew most of my family better. Many of them are really close and then there is my parents, my grandparents, and me and we are all like outcasts from the rest of the family. We didn't do anything wrong they just don't include us in things but we have just come to accept that maybe it is better that way. I wish I was closer to my cousins, but they are all much older than me so it would have been hard for us to hang out growing up anyways because of the age difference.

Annwyn I am sorry that you feel that way. Somehow you need to see that you are good enough and I am sure you are amazing at what you do. Life is too short to psyche yourself out - I am guilty of sometimes thinking, "Oh I can't do that" or "I'm not smart enough", "I'm not strong enough", etc. Those thoughts always seem to pop into my head when I have an idea of something I want to make or do. I just have to ignore those things and tell myself that I can do it! I think staying positive about something and telling yourself you can do it helps a lot. I think you should make more videos and so what if you get just a few likes or over nine thousand? Make the videos for yourself without the fear of if others will like it and if they do awesome if they don't that is their problem.

Today I was supposed to perform in a really nice deep pool.
I've been excited and happy for it for weeks.
And what happens?
Another bleed. Not as bad as the one that sent me to the ER last year, but still bad enough to have me stressed out for the entire night, also driving and swimming in chlorine for the next days is a no-go.

I hate my life sometimes

[SeaGlass Siren]

^you BLEED enough that you end up in the ER? i didnt know it was that horrible...

[Mermaid Jaffa]

^you BLEED enough that you end up in the ER? i didnt know it was that horrible...

Maybe she's got no blood clotting cells.

[Echidna]

The severity depends on whether the bleed is from a perforated artery (which must be stitched) or a vein, which can stop on its own, but it is total carp either way.

And knowing my retard of a body, it will probably go on period next week anyway, nevermind prior blood loss, completely superfluous reproduction cycle is more important
