The spite, hate, rage, apathy and mild irritation thread...

[odontophobia]

Last two weeks have been shit. Fired four people in one week, had to present the $3M deficit to the president, reveal terrible survey results to department chairs...and I still have to identify which programs to cut in the next two years, slash the winter schedule, and target 15% of staff to lay off in the spring by Wednesday. FUCK

could you hire less qualified people for teaching the ways of fuzz?

[Invisible Man]

Yes. That's the dream. I legit brought my board into a public speaking class a taught a couple years ago...'demonstrative speech' with oscillating fuzz, a MuRF, and a pitchfactor. The class hated it. (They liked the instructional one where I brought drums in, though).

sorry dude

Thanks, Avvy.

Just got a note from the IRS saying I owe them a bunch of taxes over some discrepancy in some income reported. Odd that they waited the whole year to tell me, say that I have less than a month to pay them, and charge me interest for the past year.

Managed to hit my broken toe on the side of my bed and howled like a dog, was feeling much better the past few days. Ouch.

Ah man, I did that last year.
Re-broke the toe the same way I broke the fucking thing.

I've had a good run at life lately, but all of a sudden I just feel shitty about everything.
I just got this wave of disinterest and "why bother" and this sense that everyone thinks I'm an idiot when all I'm trying to do is be as good as I can be to them.
It's always after I go through periods where I start to feel good about myself.
Not like I think I'm great but just to the stage where I feel I know where I'm at with everything and I'm quietly confident.
Maybe I'm just programmed to hate myself.

I don't even have any real problems.

Man your problems are as real to you as mine are to me as anybody else has problems relative to them. They all just manifest differently.

I hate this. I understand it takes them time to find those discrepancies but seriously you're going to charge interest on it because I made a mistake? Horse shit.

Happened to me on city taxes a few years back. Garbage.

The VA, one day, told my dad they'd been paying him way more than they were supposed to because, for three years, they hadn't updated their records concerning his most recent divorce (which added three dependents for a period of only six months but they didn't change for those three years).
It wasn't until this year (about eight years after his divorce) that they decided to completely cut him off from his disability payments as just a solid "go fuck yourself."

Government seems to be designed to fuck your life up at a time that you're not prepared for it.

Actually really looking forward to this year's rampant holiday consumer nonsense as a distraction from reality.

I wish I shared that sentiment.

I dread November through January.

Ah it's really nice to feel completely fucked since every single plan for next semester has fallen through. Double bachelors degree but most likely going back to working in bars and living at home.

Might as well move somewhere else, whatcha reckon a Swedish political science/economics undergrad can get in terms of jobs in Phoenix az?

Not a bad idea. At all. I'll work out and look really good to cater to rich people in snotsdale

Thanks man.

Yeah I got a wave of the "lets go hang ourself" last night.
So I just went to bed at 9.
Took today off.
Spent my morning christmas shopping with my boy for my wife and then took her to the movies to see Rogue One.
I feel totally fucking drained, but at least I feel reasonable again.
I don't know what brings this shit on, I'm pretty sure it's not 100% cognitive now.
They're starting to feel more and more like physical events or clear episodes as I get older.
I'm getting better at identifying them as well, which is helpful.
When I was younger it was all, "holyshiteverythingisamessanditsallmefuckitgonnadieeeeeeeeeeeeee."
But now I'm learning to ride it out and know it'll be over if I can wait it out.

So, young people here dealing with depression/anxiety: Fill your life with good shit.
Recognise it is full of good shit.
Wait for shit to stop feeling bad and go back to enjoying your good shit.
Eliminate bad shit wherever possible in your life ASAP.
Especially people.
Bad people are the worst shit of all.

Offered to attend a meeting for a work buddy who had something else come up. Then all hell broke loose on some shit yesterday afternoon and now I have the pleasure of getting in trouble as a representative for my firm. SWEET.
