#sorry let me rant real quick in the tags #cw personal #once again hitting an insurance pothole bc the psych says she accepts my OHP plan HOWEVER the therapy group she is contacted with says #THEY don't #they only accept the insurance if it's through my employer but NOT through the government?????????????? #so there's still some kind of payment??? #anyway I want to scream why is this so complicated #like will she take my insurance or not who's right here #anyway called her back directly and went to voicemail so now I've done all I can for now #why the hell is this so hard man #the person on the phone didn't know really how to explain #once again no one knows what they're talking about #like can y'all not communicate and figure this out? #AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH #i need to get an ADHD eval before my next PCP appointment in june so that they will continue giving me my meds #and the psychiatry through the hospital has a limited number of visits that insurance will cover #*contracted #not retyping all of that #and once again the only reason this is so stressful is because the psychiatry group at the hospital fumbled the communication ball last tim #and the psychiatrist I was with never put the ADHD on the chart #and now somehow it's MY responsibility to fix that> #UGH #like I am grateful to have some kind of coverage but holy shit is the US healthcare system in shambles #the bureaucracy is INSANE #i had to just sit down and put my head in my hands for a second #and then go 'right okay nothing i can do about that rn moving on' #uGH #literally said 'what the FUCK' out loud a couple times #like not on the phone after I hung up obvs

[fereldanwench]

i've been considering resuming job hunting again but i think I'm still, like, traumatized from what i went through in 2021 lmao

#i keep getting in this cycle of 'well my current job lets me do pretty much whatever i want bc they trust me to get shit done' #(which honestly is really nice bc i am neither a team player nor a leader and i like being left alone lmao) #and 'my current job is otherwise unfulfilling in every way possible also it's for an awful company I'm ethically opposed to and i want out' #and my salary is garbage #esp as someone with 12 years of experience #and they dont even do cost of living adjustments #in theory they will give you a raise if you go above and beyond but i did that for a year and just got a thank you #which i dont need your fucking gratitude i need more money #but god i just cant do interviews anymore #i used to be such a good BSer in interviews #and now i just... cant lmao #so many places are all into the 'be your authentic self' shit these days #my authentic self is not employable lmao #and then i think about pursuing my creative passions for income and I'm like nooo i dont wanna do that either #bc that will make me hate what i love #i am so protective of my hobbies just being hobbies #idk whatever!!!! #t: wench.txt

the difference between the cultures of heaven and hell in my ocverse are so funny to me because it leads to such profoundly different kinds of emotional mess

like, for angels, it's always been a kind of public service work- they're trying to make the world a better place, and that just so happens to involve promising humans eternal preservation in exchange for doing some manner of good and kindness in the world. but also humans are messy and complex and so are SYSTEMS and so are ANGELS so you end up with vastly different outlooks, like amaranth's "the system is flawed but if i work to change it from within i can one day achieve something truly and genuinely good even if i get there through morally grey means" vs asphodel's "the system is flawed and i no longer have faith in it, so i'm going to dedicate myself to learning as much as i can about the entirety of everything in hopes of one day finding the path to true good" vs zinnia's "the system is flawed and has been corrupt from the start, so why should i be punished by operating by the same metric? might as well embrace the truth that power means more than morality"

and then for the demons it's like.... they have absolutely no presumption what they're doing in the world is good, they're just part of an essentially capitalist machine that is only interested in Acquiring, they're all small cogs in a great big machine that only cares to get more mana, get more mana, get more mana by any means necessary

so they don't really HAVE complex feelings about the work they're doing, it's just a JOB. but you also have that kind of feeling of displacement and purposelessness that comes from working to survive, not for passion, so they're all just trying to make it by day to day without being swallowed by the system and chewed up and spat out. and they have kind of a nihilism that comes from viewing the system as unchangeable and omnipotent- well, it sucks, but literally nobody can do anything about it, it's too big for them to tackle

and this is all a lot of thought for a silly comic that's mostly about demons being horny and dumb slice of life but IDK I REALLY LIKE THINKING ABOUT IT

#my ocs #oc lore #worldbuilding #my writing #headcanons #its like..... #angels are idealist nonprofit or local government workers who are facing the stresses that come from really wanting to do good but its Hard #demons are like tech workers for a multibillion dollar corporation who really don't give a shit about their employer and work #so they face different kinds of burnout

I will not be that asshole when I obtain my therapy license. By that I mean not being condescending toward clients and assuming they don't know shit about their physical and mental health. I don't understand how mental health care providers (and medical, let's be real) get so far up their own ass that they forget the crucial bits about their job: LISTENING AND EMPATHY. Even if you know or feel on a gut level that your patient be blowing smoke up your ass, you need to do right by them the best you can. Humans got issues. Even the "good" and "best" ones. You should know that when you sign up with a career that involves interacting with every facet of humanity you can think of. It's some deep dark ice cream with sprinkles and a cherry on top. Sprinkle and cherry people/experiences are rare. Most people are the base. Just the ice cream, and there's nothing wrong with that, but the flavor can get old real fast, and you gotta accept that if you're gonna be a doc or mental health provider. Appreciate the the components, appreciate the damn people who seek YOU for help.

#I get it. Compassion fatigue is huge and the pandemic made it worse. Hell #I get it monthly #I guess this is my law of equivalent exchange for yeeting my uterus and no longer having a period. I don't menstruate I just lose my empathy #for a few days then go back to normal haha bad joke but wtf ever #but it's no excuse to be an asshole just because you can wave a degree over someone's head #if it wasn't obvious doctors and many therapists give me the ick like no tomorrow cause of personal experience #and having to work alongside many of them #and being mad at the fuckitry they pull on my clients #and I'm currently mad af right now at how im being treated at an appointment today #they changed their tune when i brought up I'm a QMHA #it shouldn't take someone going YO I AM IN AN ADJACENT CAREER TO YOU AND BTW I WORKED WITH YOUR EMPLOYER BEFORE #to get people to just be fucking nice to others #i know i vent a lot regarding mental health but i am passionate cause ive been fucked over one too many times #and if i can be that one person that makes this shit easier for people imma do it

PSA, don't talk about anything in your town hall that you don't want every employee and their families to know. Maybe avoid your town hall in general and move to a town where none of your relatives or anyone else you know works unless you want them to know your business.

#source: my mother works in the town hall in the social housing department and immediately when arriving home #starts telling everyone everything that happened today and who applied for housing and who got it and who was kicked out etc etc. #which I Do Not want to know; and also it's another reason for me to move away for a while at least after graduating #because otherwise i'd have applied for social housing in my town which. requires filling out the forms that my mother reviews now. #she doesn't decide who gets housing but i don't need her to look at all my documents and insurance times and former employers etc etc #SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP I don't want to know any of this!! how do you arrive home and immediately start talking a mile a second!! #@people who are in relationships: how the FUCK do you deal with coming home and not getting some peace and quiet? #i would lose it if I came home and was immediately talked at for the entire evening about things i don't give a shit about #and that should also not leave the town hall or even the office it belongs to #'are you not hungry or do you just not want to eat with us'. what. the fuck kind of answer do you expect to that. #yes i'm hungry but i'd rather sit in my room hungry and go to my swimming club hungry later than eat with you #and be talked at and questioned about what i did today and what my plans are for the tenth time this week #and having to repeat everything twice for some reason. sunday aka me leaving cannot come soon enough #mine #vent and rant #i also don't need to hear about her GODDAMN DIET PLANS *AGAIN*. i don't care i don't care i don't care!! #leave me alone with dieting!! i'm perfectly capable of falling back into disordered eating habits all by myself! I don't need someone else #to talk about diets and weights and weight loss and calories and weight watchers all the time for that! #i'm perfectly capable of hurting myself like that all on my own; i don't need outside encouragement! god. i cannot wait to live alone #and have my own damn kitchen and enough money to buy proper food that's good for me and that i like regularly. #maybe even see a dietician once to help me find some foods with iron and other things i often have too little of. #and no one to tell me when to eat and then be passive-aggressive about it when i say i don't want to eat now

Cannot fucking do this

#new job is awful #they dont give a shit what your schedule is #or what your availability is #they expect fulltime plus overtime #literally my first day and they had me work overtime #did not give me an option #didn't ask if i was able to stay late #just 'you need to stay late' #its not that bad #i need the money #and its not like i have school or a social life here #but my whole body hurts #ive been doing this same job for 4 years and not had this problem #i want to go home #why? #like from an employers perspective why would you not want to keep your employees happy? #op

i fully applied this today 😌 was interviewed about a job and it seemed nice enough but smh i knew that's not what i wanted. the whole time i wanted to leave bc i knew i was wasting my time. so when the person interviewing me asked me to do some simulation exercise i just... hit da bricks lmao. i'm already not a fan of simulations during interviews but i also found this one dumb and i felt my anxiety RISING and idk, i just couldn't do it. so i stopped the interview, explained why, apologized and left.

i left.

#ngl i'm still anxious bc my brain is screaming WHY DID YOU LEAVE YOU STUPID FOOL THAT'S NOT SOMETHING YOU'RE ALLOWED TO DO #with a side of guilt bc turning down an employer is not something i can really afford rn #+ poor girl who interviewed me was barely above my age and dumbfounded when i stopped the interview and left and i feel bad for her #BUT #it was either walk out #either humiliate myself (or feel like it) and risking a panic attack #so yeah. i decided to give myself a break #and thank you tumblr bc while i was wondering whether to leave‚ this meme was on a loop in my brain #anyway i hope the two interviews i had with other structures go somewhere bc i really need a job 🙃 #even if these and this one weren't for actual jobs but for services civiques aka glorified internships with the same shit pay as interns #but better this than nothing eh #lise raconte sa vie #lise au travail

Pro tip: if you ever suffer any kind of personal/medical/family/whatever emergency and your place of employment’s response is anything other than “please take all the time you need, let us know if you need anything, we’re thinking of you,” start applying to other jobs asap because you deserve better.

#file this under 'lessons I learned way too late' #my last job I was in a major car accident a few months after starting #genuinely I still don't know how I survived it #and I got a card and then 'oh well you haven't been here long enough for full benefits sorry hands are tied' #then 'are you SURE you can't do your fair share of travel? everyone else is already so busy w/o picking up your share #meanwhile I literally couldn't move my neck and was still deeply traumatized #and in hindsight went back to work way too early and caused myself more psychological damage #this week the two leads for one of our biggest projects that was set to launch this week were suddenly called out #only response was 'oh no - I'm so sorry to hear that - take care of yourself/your family - let us know what you need' #work can wait. projects can wait. annoying clients can wait. #I accepted being treated like shit for so long because I thought that's just what work was #and it doesn't have to be #you are giving so much of yourselves every day to your employer the LEAST they can do is treat you with respect #personal

getting mad in the assignment resubmission document because the prof missed the 13/17 pages of bullshit that would have taken my grade on the assignment from a meager 20% to a whole 30%

#rubia speaks #i'll pass the course either way but i don't know if future employers in my field give a lot of shits abt grades or not #was reconsidering not resubmitting with more stuff but when i saw that the spirit of pettiness re-entered my body #give me at least that 30% i fucking earned that #and don't assign assignments that you don't know how to grade because how did you miss those 13/17 pages for fucks sake #kinda mad at her anyway though bc she kept asking only people who dont answer in class for feedback in the last weeks #sorry im fucking annoying for answering your questions smh. way to alienate the students who DO participate #jesus christ i hated going to her classes at the end for it #except the lit circles those were good but she wasn't there for that it was me and my friends in the hallway #there is only one prof in this entire program so far that doesnt infuriate me

@nonhoration right?! every time I think about how much a meatspace nonprofit could accomplish with the money AO3 is doing nothing with, steam comes out of my ears. flames! on the side of my face!

#AO3 discourse for ts #remember when that anon accused me of just being jealous because I wanted AO3’s money for myself #bro I’m not out here asking for donations and the only reason I was able to run a nonprofit without pay is that I was financially stable #bro I once got up at 6:30 in the morning to try to claim a Gates Foundation grant because they were giving away a total of $250mil #only to find they’d all been claimed in the first ten minutes #bro I accepted a grant for $300 one year because the grantmaking organization didn’t want to say no to anyone who applied #so every organization got less than what they were applying for. we couldn’t complete the project we pitched! the grant didn’t cover it. #bro I competed for my organization to be the beneficiary of an annual philanthropic event up against a foster agency #and an organization that arranged housing and employment opportunities for people with disabilities #among several others! ​we were all in it for the same fourteen grand because none of us could afford to pass up any funding opportunity! #that’s the kind of work you do when you are passionate about your cause! #so sorry not sorry but when I see AO3 firmly invested in their inertia? and every answer they give is a defense of inertia? #it really does make me sick!! #one person who gives a shit *can* pull off the sort of work I am talking about! I wouldn’t say so if I hadn’t done it myself!

#i literally cannot with my job anymore #they've been laying people off in the thousands with 1 hour notices #and as someone who already struggles with PTSD and anxiety I'm already primed to be bracing myself for The Worst Case Scenario all the time #and now it's not an Irrational Fear TM because it's literally happening to people seemingly at random #new hire? gone. manager who's been with the company for 20+ years? gone. 7 years? gonw #like Jesus Christ just hit me already and get it over with i cannot handle the 'when's the blow going to land' tension and anxiety anymore #we don't even get paid well for the work we do #and this is like a Good Corporate Professional Job for a multi billion dollar bank????? #and most of us are still paycheck to paycheck despite making double the state minimum wage #i can't i just can't i feel another Total Meltdown coming on i stg #what is the POINT of doing my job well when I'm just as likely as anyone else to get fired same-day with no warning #why do well? why give a shit? #why improve? i could pour hours and hours and mental and emotional energy into it and still not have a job tomorrow #like it's always been a possibility because america is almost exclusively made up of at will employment #but now it's not a possibility. it's LIKELY. if not inevitable #and that really doesn't play well with my traumatized and miswired brain

[karrova]

the premise of going on this job interview tomorrow is really truly making me want to die

#I dont know why im even bothering to go because there's no way I'll be able to reliably get to this job #I know I can view this as a practice interview but how good of a job am I going to do when I dont give a shit about it #I need a remote job but apparently employers dont like those anymore

[killbaned]

>>password for work reset with no warning

>>can’t change it from home

>>can’t log into app to check my schedule

>>no one at the fucking store is picking up so i can ask

#reese v employment #how is it these fucking companies keep doing this pw reset every 90 days shit for security #but don't fucking give you notice lmao #like at wags that shit would literally reset mid transaction and just lock you out of the registers

[parapsychologicalvulpes]

filing taxes is dumb and stupid and ofc the us would do it in the most idiotic ways, AND force the citizens to do it instead of them

#ik they know how much money i fuckin got #just give me the return from that!!!! stop making me file taxes!!! #the THIRD. YEAR. IN A ROW. i have now had Tax Problems #this time APPARENTLY somehow the IRS already accepted a return with my ssn #so unless my mom decided to file for some reason (we dont live together) or my employer did #i might be identity theived #like dude im just trying to be an adult and get shit sorted why does everything have to blow up in my face #silver lining is that i didnt need to file anyways (so i wont get in trouble for not doing it) bc im poor but i need that 100$ #i need to replace some pc parts really bad
