What Made You Angry Today?

[Ronin]

My landlady & neighbors. Wish all of them would shut up, to different reasons. Found my calm space to focus elsewhere. Just tired of petty bullshit drama.

 

[Friday]

Seriously f*cking pissed off.

I hate this shit. I hate knowing about it. I greatly f*cking preferred it when I was just crazy, and life was just life, and <snarl>.

Every single goddamned thing.

People not taking what happened to my daughter and the other kids SERIOUSLY!!!!

Still allowing their children to play with a kid that has admitted to inappropriate touching.

WTF!!!!!?????

I'm in a store today, standing in a long queue, "feeling a bit anxious, as I'm hemmed in?" The lady in front of me has been waiting around ten minutes, same as me.

But it's only when her shopping has been put through the check out, that she decides to START LOOKING for her credit card to pay!

I find that so annoying, especially when it's only for a few pounds! I always have my money ready, along with my bag to out my goods into!

 

[Heather]

My daughter being nasty to the other little girl that was abused. Going along with her so-called friends....

Being abused in my book DOES NOT EXCUSE BAD BEHAVIOR..
She's crying now because she wants to call her grandmother and "bitch" about me. I told her she couldn't use the phone.

 

[Ronin]

My hood. & Local cops.

f*ck all of them. First for their bullshit, second for I'm not doing your job with having nothing from it.

 

[Heather]

Certain people. But that's what the ignore button is for.

My awful, awful job. That I moved 3,000 miles to take, and worked 80+ hour weeks to try to keep. That harassed me every single day of the last two years of my life. That denied every one of the disability accommodation requests i submitted, without cause. That denied my right to FMLA, without cause. That docked me 15 minutes of pay for being 1 minute late to my desk despite never taking a lunch or a scheduled break and staying 3. 4, 5 hours late every night.

I've normalized that. But today, during an evacuation, after signing in at my designated area of the parking lot I stood around for a half hour with no one to talk to. Almost everyone I started with has been promoted, so they were elsewhere in the parking lot to sign in. I walked maybe 100 feet away to stand next to someone I actually knew. Everyone wanders, it's an enclosed parking lot. My psychotic manager watched me walk, and ran to his manager to "tell" on me. Two women executives show up to tell me "you're not allowed to stand here. You need to stay by that sign." I thought it was a joke.

So many special rules that only apply to me. But what made me angry was the fact that no one stood up for me. Not a single god damn person would even lend me the validation of my sanity. The person I love like a brother, that's seen the shit this agency has put me through from day one, looked at me like I was crazy. I am quitting. I lose, I give up and I'm angry that the enemy won.

 

[Ronin]

The opening & closing time of everything in this country.
When I was able to fit that in with work schedule, fine.
When I was able to fit that in with biorhythms working, doable.

But I'm not f*cking able to do /either/ of that right now.

The past two years have been hell on me. We lost our lead drafter to cancer. My boss never let him go through the entire ordeal he was literally still working with us until the day he died(stressful trying to do the work of 1 1/2 persons). We hired a new accountant because the old one retired. We hired a new drafter because we need help. I have dealt with a back stabbing dick of a boss(the second guy in command). Literally he is verbally abusive. Now the accountant is micro managing me saying that I don't work and I look at my phone every 10 seconds or search the internet. The only person I can put up with is the owner of the company and he knows what I actually do for the company. I'm tired of all this backstabbing drama and I have more seniority than the new drafter and the new accountant. I am not sure why they hate me so much. It was never like this before those two came in. I'm tired I can't concentrate at work and I just want a new job. The only problem is no one wants to hire an old drafter that doesn't know the new technology so I would literally need to find an entry level job with just a high school education.

One of the conditions of split-custody was that TheEx promised TheKiddo would be allowed to continue in his sports. Long story short; that didn't happen. I was stupid enough the first year to take it to mediation, whereupon TheKiddo got to do most of 1 season of not-any-of-HIS-sports, but hey, at least effing something. He also paid dearly for my embarrassing TheEx. (Serious physical abuse.) Lesson learned. No taking TheEx to court over good things being gone, because worse things will replace them, instead of just the vacuum of their absence.

So amidst all the other chaos in his life? 1 year round and 4 seasonal sports were cut.

4 years later? 18 seasons, with only 1.5 of them played... TheEx has finally let him do sport again.

Not one of the Kiddo's sports... But hey. At least it's effing something.

Super short 5 week season... And I had custody for 3 of those weeks.

1 week? Things were fine.
1 week? We had the flu (influenza flu)
1 week? He was suspended from school.

So now... After 4 years of fighting to get TheKiddo into anything, TheEx is taking ME to court about how I'm not "allowing" TheKiddo to play sports as per the custody agreement.

:banghead:

... It's gonna take a helluva lot of effort to plaster on a HUGE smile, be 100% completely on board THRILLED with TheKiddo's participation (aka the truth) and not throw a holy f*cking fit over the past 4 years and how hard I've fought, and how much f*cking money this nonsense is costing me -that I don't have- to go to court (aka also the truth).

Breathing.

What do you need for defense and showing the courts TheEx' accusations are just twisting facts, @FridayJones ?

Assuming you even need to provide some sort of evidence on your defense?

No idea how this works so just thinking of little & doable steps, right after breathing, that would be composite goals instead of tangled everything avalanching you under it.
