Why are you mad right now?

[TedEH]

mad at myself

At the risk of this becoming another Veji- situation, I'm gonna keep reminding you to seek assistance with these things. Post and vent about em' all you want, but go talk to someone equipped for it at the same time.

Noticed our national dealer has 2021 stock (shown as new) at the 2024 sticker price. Iirc thats a $1500+ hike in that timeframe.

If i was more interested in the guitar i’d call and try to figure something out but already have something lined up.

i was trying to listen to the masterpiece that is Weezer's Only In Dreams on youtube and it's exactly 8 minutes long so, they could put in midroll ads. thats what they did and in the middle of the song's like 3 minute buildup near the end, there was an ad. i hate when artists do that with longer songs. or when an ad separates a perfect transition from one song to another. thats a reason why physical media is better you guys.

*listens to Weezer*
"why am I depressed?"

I kid, but seriously.

Mid-video ads are the worst, but putting them in the middle of a song is a new special kind of hell.

Trust me, this is a safe space. But as ted said, you have to be willing to talk to someone with the experience and knowledge to help you.

my school is forcing me to see a therapist but they don't help me with shit. i've been seeing them for over a year now and nothing has gotten better. it's honestly gotten worse.

I seriously think framing it as "forcing" you is already putting you behind. If you frame it as they're giving you an opportunity, come at the situation with a question instead of anger, you might find yourself in a better position.

I hope you wake up in a better place and a better time.

thanks. but it really is forcing because i really hate it don't wanna do it. i can't get out of it. i had multiple suicide attempts last year and one of my friends at the time reported me to the school. it was a nice move as a friend but at the same time it lead to all this shit i hate.

> multiple suicide attempts
> given required access to proper mental health professional to help try and fix the problem (presumably at no cost)
> considers it to be a net negative for themselves

"why would the public school system do this to me?!" There are others who HAVE killed themselves because they couldn't get this kind of help, fucking Christ.

File under: Some things aren't meant to be, but does the realization always have to be so aggravating?

At the end of last year, a former colleague reached-out to recruit me for his current company. I get the pitch- sounds like an awesome place. I apply, I interview, and ultimately they went with another applicant, though indicating another position would be posted early '25.

Last month, they contact me about the new position. I apply, I interview, and I get a crappy offer. I counter but they can't meet me on my demands so I cordially decline.

Just now, they contact me advising that they never filled that position. They liked me and wanted to know what it would take to win me over. I outline my demands. They counter with a worse offer than before. I honestly believe that HR reps think that they 'win' the negotiation if someone doesn't take their offer.

That’s unfortunate. In my experience, it’s usually not HR that decides the salary you actually get (but they will set ranges that vary wildly). Probably an extremely incompetent or cheap hiring manager. Then again, I’ve had to deal with a dumb recruiter that didn’t seem to understand how billable rates work in engineering and how higher rates are used to pay a higher salary and that you don’t need to keep the salary for the position under a certain amount - you can higher a more experienced engineer for more money and then bill them out at a higher rate.

Are you telling the therapist this? If they don't know that you're dreading every session then they don't know to change the approach and treatment. Clear and honest communication is key.

they've caught on because they've just asked me straight up if i just wanted to see another therapist because i'm "not opening up".

Take the help.

I (as many people) have allergies, with severe allergies especially against birch. Even drugged up I can barely function.

But for some reason city planning always says « hey you know what? Let’s plant some birch trees here » as default where ever there is free space. Instead of I don’t know like any other plant.

So here I am, nose running, eyes burning, cotton-head on my couch struggling to read my emails on a Friday.

 

[Spaced Out Ace]

Woke up in a bad mood and my mood is not improving. I don't ask for much and can't even get that without issues, so fuck it.

Do you have to pay for this? If not, absolutely take it! If so, probably take it anyway - it's a good opportunity.

New phone is horrible. Everything takes forever, it's the size of a dinner plate, and every action that was easy on the last phone has been made slower, more difficult, and less reliable. I genuinely cannot believe people have been living this way and not complaining about it. Over a grand flushed down the drain to make my life worse. Fantastic. Maybe I'll quit using my phone so much from now on.
