No sleep last night. This damn job…constant stress. Job fair on the 4th. Couple jobs have possibility. We will see.
I hate feeling useless. Pisses me off when I can’t help the people in my life who need it.
Headed home early from work. Boss sent us all home. It’s just…too damn hot. Spent most of the day weed eating. …I am one with the grass. …seriously, I have clippings up my nose, behind my eyeballs, in my ears…
Stopping for lunch and heading home.
Called out sick from work. Had to go in two hours after that anyway cuz one of my coworkers got stepped on and may have broken her foot, poor thing. …and then the boss sent me home early anyway “everything is done for the day already”.
So…uhh…I wasted three hours thereabouts?
…-squints at the rest of VR- Also, I…actually no, nevermind. -shakes head and reaches for the Scotch-
Hot enough the boss sent us home early. …walked into a stack of two by fours in the back of the truck this morning. Hat brim low over my eyes to block out the sun…bout knocked myself TF out. -sigh-
-squints in confusion at my job and shakes my head-
Gotta go back to work tomorrow and the supervisor is gonna be sullen and silent like an angry child.
Be nice to have the peace and quiet. For as long as it lasts.
My cat went missing. Fortunately only for about a day and a half. She’s fine, not a scratch on her, hiding under the house to escape this damnable heat.
Neck still hurts, and I haven’t managed to keep down solid food since 4th of July. …lot of soup. Ulcer, maybe?
Boss decided to give the supervisor a little “prayer meeting”. …her words for a scolding. Apparently that’s gonna come tomorrow night. Which means my Tuesday return to work will involve the supervisor being a sullen, nearly mute worker. Normally I’d be overjoyed, since she’d shut the fuck up for a change, but the last time this happened I wound up unloading fifty feed bags by myself because of how utterly petty this shrew can be. The boss and her husband both told me that if she wasn’t so indispensable to the ranch operation, they’d get rid of her. She has now threatened reprisal against every worker and volunteer on site, including our new hire who isn’t planning on returning.
But then, the minute something better comes along, I’ll be leaving as well.
Still…next week will suck moreso than usual because the boss thinks she’s helping.
…I’m just so tired of it all.
Been hot the past several days. Hotter tomorrow from the sound of things. Bridge of my nose is bright red from blisters. Mild allergy to the sunscreen I’ve been using, so that’s fun.
Could use a vacation. Maybe things will work out in the fall. Got plans I don’t wanna miss in October.
Today sucked.
Dropped a log on my foot, scraped the hell out of my arm on a branch. Family got rear ended after dinner. Bad crock in my neck from it, but my mother told the cops I was fine without asking me. -eye roll- then my stepfather tried to make friends with the idiot that hit us from behind. Then I got sick on the way home and almost threw up on my suit.
I’m just…-throws hands up and storms out-
Lost my soul today. …no, not that one. My sole. The guy I took my boots to to fix them screwed up and the damn thing literally fell off.
-sigh-
Other job I had feelers out for would require a two hour drive.
Every time I try to escape a bad job situation I seem to either wind up in a worse one or have my escape plan pulled out from under me.
Fuck it, I’m gonna put in for the sheriff’s department job. The location means I’d be bored to tears inside of a week, but at least I wouldn’t end every shift feeling like a hollow worthless shell of a human being.
At least I hope not.
Might have to add myself to my friends list on here. Logging in to see the site telling me I have no friends online is always kinda…
Hmph. I’m being silly.
Damn supervisor has me all twisted in more ways than one I guess.
I need to move. Having no friends closer than 40 minutes away just bugs me sometimes.
COMMENTS
It is very rude..."You have no friends". Why not "You have friends, but none online "
Going in tomorrow to put in for another job. I just…
I can’t keep working at the ranch with that harpy. Plus we just hired two new people…
I just don’t feel like there’s any room for me anymore.
-sigh-
Went and saw Dial of Destiny with Mom today. Hell of a send off for Indiana Jones…just depresses the hell out of me he’s retiring the character. Granted, Harrison Ford was 78 by the time they wrapped filming, but…feels like the end of an era, and with all the other crazy shit that’s happened in the past three years…
It just got me thinking about my future. What I have to offer the people in my life. …the ones who aren’t dead or gone, at any rate.
…I need to get away from things for a while, but can’t afford to go anywhere.
-grumbles-

Hopefully you can find something else.
Here’s hoping. I appreciate the concern. :)
Hm. Negative honor. …okay.
I mean, I’ve gone out of my way to try to be nice to folk on this site. Whatever, I’m not looking for a fight. I suppose I have upset someone. Mea culpa.
COMMENTS
Some people just do it to be assholes... and some people do it just because they think everything is about them.... oh and then there is the, some people do it because they think they know who a profile belongs to even if it isn't....
Hm? …oh wait…I get it now.
-sighs and picks up megaphone- THIS IS NOT CAT CONTROLLING THIS PROFILE. THIS HAS BEEN A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT. THANK YOU. …-puts down megaphone-
Lol
Some people are just idiots.
LMAO! You catch on well! LMAO!
Lordy. Now they are attacking you too. Don't you just wish the mosquitos would quit buzzing around and mind their own business? Guess that is not the way this site works. Anyway, enjoy some positive honor. :-)
Much obliged to all of you for the positive honor and kind words. Thank you. :)
Caught somebody fishing off my dock. Like…the one next to my house. Guy straight up lied to my face about having permission and when I called him out on it, he threatened to call the police on ME for slander! Snapped his photo when he wasn’t looking.
Was finally able to get the guy to leave, but seriously, is there something in the water out here!? Damn. Filed a police report and showed them the photo, but not much they can do since I was the only witness apparently. -.-‘
He shows back up and I’m meeting him at the door with my sidearm.
…I need a vacation.
Had a horse go down today. She’s fine, I was able to get her back up. …and I did all this while sick from heat exhaustion. Supervisor got onto me for coming to work sick to “try to prove something”, and then bitched when the boss sent me home early.
No pleading that harpy, I swear…
At the end of the day I just want to do something that makes me proud of myself. …it’d be a nice change of pace.
…huh. Well, I won’t mention anyone by name, as it is unprofessional and goes directly against my own wishes to be left alone. But what the fuck?
Also on another note, gettin pretty hot out there. You folks stay hydrated.
Ugh, okay. I’m gonna drag myself into work long enough to feed and water the horses, and then we’ll see where things stand. Could be home in two hours, might be home later if my guts will settle.
Ugh. Taking the day off. F els like my insides are trying to become my outsides. Tried sipping broth last night…did not go well. I haven’t eaten anything since dinner on the fourth. …maybe saltines and ginger ale today if I can stomach them. Just be good to have something resembling food in me.
Hot tea maybe, I don’t know. Might drag the laptop into the bathroom with me, try to be productive. New one is way lighter and smaller than the old, way higher memory too. But then the old one IS more than a decade out of date. -shrug-
Okay, I’m gonna go. You all have a wonderful day.
Might have to call out sick tomorrow. Double Visio , nausea, head kinda hurts. One of my fiends joked I’m allergic to my supervisor. …he might be right.
Wanted to try and get some writing don, but staring at the laptop screen made me wanna puke.
Okay done for the day I’m gonna go now.

I hope you feel better.
It’s going around I felt the same way yesterday and the evening before. I hope you feel better.
Got a friend hired on at the ranch. Today was his second day on the job. …next week may be his last because he got a better offer.
Maybe I WILL take that sheriff’s deputy job. Getting shot at would be more relaxing than dealing with this…creature that calls herself my supervisor. -.-‘
…good conversation, however brief. Gives me hope for the first time in a long while. Gonna try not to screw thighs up again.
Okay, gonna get of VR. Vision going double, head hurts, work I. The AM.
Gotta remember to buy cat food for my furry ones tomorrow. Not anything anyone really needs to know, I’m just puttin that there as a reminder.
Kbye.

Yeah, it was a good conversation. I'm holding you to your words, don't let me down.
I hope you feel better.
I’m glad progress was made. *hugs you both*
