Rant Thread II

Ow, I see ._. Well, one does need money at some point, so... for now you'll have to find entertainment and personal enrichment somewhere else. My job is manual and boring as hell, and requires nothing, except a little attention to what you're doing... which I didn't need to spend 4 years in university for

Depending on what your plans are, and until you can look for something else (if you want), I'd suggest creative activities

Works for me. I've started writing, drawing, practicing a liiiiittle bit of piano (in GH words, it would be playing on Medium gtr with a bad calibration : lots of plinks), and heck : it's stopped me from jumping off the window (thus sparing me the pain of a broken leg or something). I'm even planning to go back running (when it gets warmer, that is) with this coworker of mine at some point, after work.

Guess my point is : if your job isn't interesting, try to make everything else interesing. Good luck with that

I’ve always been so scared of failure. I always am scared to let people down. But that’s what I did today by missing school. Wasn’t at BDTV, wasn’t on the elementary school field trip to play set, didn’t get to work on the car in tech enterprise… I let so many people down.
But here’s the thing: I am so over worked. I have school with 2 college classes, an AP class, and then 3 clubs I’m leader of (band, Giant Miles, radio). Winter percussion is 3 days a week with semi-state this weekend. It’s so physically exhausting. Then I have work which takes up the other 4 days. I usually work 6.5 hours a night and now not getting off until 10:30-11 PM. Then homework after work.
I’m getting 4-6 hours of sleep each night. It all finally caught up to me. I’m home sick, but feel better. I just am so emotionally and mentally sick.
I’m so scared something will set me off. I’ve been really depressed lately. Like, suicidal thoughts ‘n all. I can’t do this much longer. I need to get out. I’m so scared for my well being.
So, here I am, sore throat and stuffy nose. Scared of going outside of my house. Scared of letting more people down. Scared of practice. Scared to keep putting myself down this mentally self destructive path I am stuck on until the end of the year. I feel like I should talk to my band director, but I’m scared to since I feel like he doesn’t like me. I’ve been putting in effort that isn’t enough. I just don’t want to upset him

Burnout happens. Sometimes you try to get too much stuff going on at once, and it catches up real bad. Cut out one or two things as necessary. Talk to your band director or whoever else, explain that you're sick and overworked and need to cut back. I understand not wanting to let people down, but the best way to do that is to make sure everyone's expectations of you are realistic. If you're involved in ten different things, and all those people think that you have plenty of free time for their stuff, then there's a problem. Again, you probably want to cut out one or two activities. Figure out what's most important to you and what you're only doing because you feel obligated, then end the obligations.

Currently stressing out over a ticket I received via red light camera- and being in Southern California, this fine is almost 500 bucks. As someone who is currently unemployed, I definitely want to get this reduced or dismissed entirely, but the system is definitely stacked against me. I don't want to fight it alone, so I'll probably find a lawyer to do it for me, but even then it is a crapshoot, I feel like. But they make the whole process so intimidating, I doubt I could ever pull it off by myself. Either way I do not have the funds to take care of this issue, and it's taking a toll on both myself and my girlfriend (who feels responsible for the ticket since I was driving her to her internship at the time). It just sucks.

Oh yeah, not to mention how bad my unemployment has gotten. Ever since losing my main source of income in february, I have just been unmotivated and depressed to the point of not even looking for work. I desperately need the money, but for some reason I put off applying for jobs of any kind, and make excuses to continue avoiding it. (Driving my girlfriend around should not prevent me from finding work, or at least looking for a job...) A combination of a poor financial situation and my lack of responsibility is really bringing me down. Hoping to break out of this cycle in the coming weeks, but it's easier said than done for sure. Oh, and all of this is made worse when I look at how hard my girlfriend is working to get through school, work, and her internship. I feel like she's contributing so much and I'm doing nothing at all. Makes me feel worse about myself, which in turn demotivates me from trying even more. Somewhat of a self-fulfilling prophecy...

I know what's gonna happen on April Fool's Day.

That's right, a Monday.

I'm sure this has been bitched about a numerous amount of times; but I'm getting sick and fucking tired of being nice to people and it not get fucking reciprocated; then when I'm an asshole it surprises people even when I tell them I am one way beforehand. I mean, really? What's the point? This shit has baffled me for quite some time now and no matter how much soul searching I do; it always seems like I didn't deserve it. Now I could be completely off with that last statement; I am a bit of a narcissist after all; but Jesus' holey left hand surely I'm not that infatuated with myself to where I can't see if I'm doing something wrong.

But of course, from a "selecting songs that jibe with the spirit of the occasion" standpoint. But that'd be too easy, and does not scratch my abritrary "supremely idiotic query that perhaps only ScoreHero may know the answer to" itch.

While I do agree that being nice for the sake of expecting something nice in return kind of defeats the entire purpose of being a good person, there's still something to be said for not being a dick for no reason to strangers who are kind to you.
