The Complaining and Bitching Thread

FWIW, "condescending" is fairly broad IMO. And, even if true, the root behind it can be pretty varied. Often, when someone perceives another as condescending they are just a little insecure themselves. IME, when people who are detailed communicators (typically a GOOD trait) interact with people who are insecure, sometimes it comes across as condescension. I wouldn't sweat it too much, my guess is that it is you trying to be conscientious in your job, and them feeling they already know it all and shouldn't have someone telling them what to do (and feeling insecure because a newer employee has authority).

Hang in there. *hug*

Love you guys.
That is exactly what this is. I need to stay calm and either figure out how to stop this absurd battle or walk away. For my girls if not for me.

 

I may have a UTI.

Coming back to this: @genuinemommy, honestly, early childhood education is full of drama. For some reason, it seems to be a field that attracts people who want to start shit. I think in a way the setting is an incubator for this kind of thing. Having been through similar circumstances, I would say the best thing you can do is to keep your chin up and tune it out.

 

Thank you for the tips.
I hope you do not have a uti. That must be uncomfortable.

 

I need to vacuum and move some stuff around. Apartment inspections start at 9am. I have a lot to get done before babysitting at 1:30, and I don't want to do it!

 

Hope you find an ear to bend soon.

 

I walked out of a crappy work situation today. Pretty content with my decision.

 

ACK! I still don't have a number that I need to start work on Sunday in an above-board, paid-for fashion. I'm sure there is some wiggle room elsewhere, but it's DRIVING ME CRAZY because it's totally out of my control and in the hands of some nameless, faceless bureaucracy. My employers said they would take care of it, but holy shit, my inner control freak is beside herself with anxiety.

 

If you're gonna put your business hours on your door....
PLEASE make the signage large enough that I can see it without having to park and walk up to within three feet of the door only to find that your are closed.

 

Oooo...am I a mess today.
And for no good reason...logical, rational or otherwise.

Everything is going good and getting better...and I'm tearing like a baby, laughing like a maniac at the same time...then being anxious, nauseous and completely out of sorts...all day long.
Hormonal??
I don't know anymore...nothing makes sense.
Doesn't help that I got an atypical migraine along with it, seem exhausted...
...slept thrice, ate something to calm my nerves (3x), went biking to get out, went to the gym to get the edge off, relaxing at the pool lasted 5 minutes...nothing worked.
Then just finally got my head in order about an hour ago.

The brain is a VERY weird thing.
must be something in the air...my cousin is going thru the same lately. He thinks he's going bonkers.
Maybe I'm overly stressed & exhausted...just a final over the line accumulation. PTSD??

Ya'know...after being beaten up for so long, rebuilding everything after the collapse of life...even it's good news & good life lately, I don't trust it.
Like a soldier in the middle of a war zone...doesn't trust the quiet...waiting for a grenade to go off or get sniped at. Wary of an offered hand of truce or a smile.
How do you let it go??
When do you stop feeling raw?
When do you allow yourself to have faith again in others?

I hope I'm over the hump for today.
I want my smile back.
