Random Fail: First World Problems

**Astylla** · 2016-05-01 23:34

On top of everything I think I got food poisoning from lunch. I've had horrible vomiting the last 20 minutes, nausea before that and look so pale too.

Edit : Spent about 4 hours in ER and had to be taken by ambulance . Apparently talking to my sister she has similar problems that may run in our family.

8 hours later I'm still in pain pretty much half to three quarters of the time ranging from nausea to waves of cramping pain to diarrhea . I can barely keep fluids down and all the paperwork from discharge says it might be some gastrointestinal issue/bacteria/disease.

Since I'm out of town going to see my primary for followup ASAP isn't possible. I'm supposed to fly out home tomorrow night but right now I can't go more than 15-30 minutes without being sick

And we are now in the ER after astylla has been puking for the last 45 minutes

**BaneTheBrawler** · 2016-05-02 12:02

ast im so sorry, my condolences.

also feel better.

also i agree with byrth, your wife knows the deal, she needs to be on your side. also sounds like your in-laws enjoy a good straw-man, maybe you can get them a scarecrow as a gift.

Fucking Amazon customers. The day before we left I sold a sealed copy of D2 for the dreamcast. Guy messages me today complaining of a liquid stain under the shrink wrap and that its faded. Luckily I snapped a pic before I shipped it and it looks identical to what it shows on google images

Someone brought in donuts heck yeah win. But not my eating window so whatevs I'll have it later. It's now later and I'm wondering where the donuts went. Turns out the boss had one then thru away the rest cause no one was eating the rest yet... the new donuts just gotten this morning apparently couldn't make it to the afternoon before needing to be thrown out.

**BaneTheBrawler** · 2016-05-02 16:49

fuck that guy

**Zetanio** · 2016-05-02 16:56

Yeah, that's terrible office decorum.

**Aksannyi** · 2016-05-02 17:00

I've worked in places where food was left out overnight and no one seemed to give a shit. A couple of hours? Yeah that guy's a complete knob.

I got invited to a party this Friday night. I never get invited to parties. Thing is, I have a friend from PA, my dad, and his wife who are all coming down for graduation, so I can't go.

My boss decided our company needed corporate social media presence without informing the staff, and hired on someone to create a FB/Twitter/Instagram for us. Now, my boss is crotchety old New Jersey Jew who knows nothing almost nothing about technology/the Internet/social media. When myself and other staff members found out about this new person, we were horrified to see this person is clearly awful at social media as well, going so far as to GET OUR COMPANY AND STATION NAMES WRONG. Seriously. When we confronted our boss about this he did not help the situation by trying to defend it saying "I'm paying someone a lot of money to do this, she is a professional!" One of my coworkers exclaimed that the job was so bad that he should fire the person who did it and demand his money back. Later we found out the woman he hired was our boss' new sidepiece. Because of course she is. We took the matter to the other majority owner and office fireworks have been going off since. Like walking on eggshells for the last few days. Good times.

I'm at work majority of the time they fucking eat anyways.

They're only talking shit because the little asshole brother-in-law kept eating leftovers reserved for me for when I got home from work. So most of the time I was left with nothing. They're holding a grudge about it. Wife is understandably caught in the middle, but keeps making stupid fucking comments as if I'm fucking evil for wanting to eat my own god damn food in my own god damn house. I couldn't give a damn what's cooked at her sisters.

Eat the brother in law.

Half win/half fail, but worn out from it all so posting them here:

Wins:

I was in charge of the yearbook and it finished on Friday. They didn't ask me to do it until February, which is super late to get started. On top of not having an actual yearbook class. Despite that the book looks much better than the previous years. Next year I get to start at the beginning of the school year, so it should be even better.

Our school bought a new building for the next year. This is huge. For those that have been keeping tabs, our current campus is shit. Kids have to go to the local park for PE, cracks in the walkways everywhere, place we rent it from doesn't want us to use the fridge or replace the non-working stove (food is delivered from the state since students are on gov't assistance). This new place has a huge field, has nice classrooms, kitchen, has a stage, and has a LIBRARY weeeeeeee. It's also located two blocks away from the local community college, who the students will get to take classes from while at the high school.

Fail: Like two days before yearbook was done, I was asked to make the flyers, brochures, etc. for the school. They hired a marketing person to help with organizing everything, but she doesn't actually know how to make decent flyer shit, and since "I know computers" well they asked me. So I didn't get a break after yearbook. It's fine in the sense I like doing it, and they are going to give me some money for my work, BUT I am really behind on grading for my students. It's hard enough to keep up in English without all the extra stuff. I am sitting here thinking I should grade, but I am so burned out from all the other extra work I can't get my brain into grading-mode. Ugh.

**Aksannyi** · 2016-05-02 20:00

I wish I could help you with that Ksandra. I miss seeing students and reading their work, and I've only been out of the classroom since Thursday. I cannot wait to get my own classroom.

**Byrthnoth** · 2016-05-02 20:10

Kas, just grade the kids based on some intersection of how smart they seem and their grammar/spelling. After a certain point, english grades are pretty bullshit anyway.

Some of the stuff is direct right/wrong answers (vocabulary packets) so I can't do that. They just wrote a compare/contrast paper that I may have to do that for which sucks balls. I am usually good about putting up comments for their papers, but this may end up being a rushed job. >.<;

Oh - the irony. Considering I was just asking a person whose job it is to literally respond to tweets for a major company how they got their job about 5 days ago. XD

**BaneTheBrawler** · 2016-05-02 22:39

at this point, ksan, the response "who DOESN'T know computers?" is perfectly valid. the fuck have people been doing for the last 20 years? computers aren't new. i can understand geriatric old fucks not knowing computers, but at this point anyone under 70 whose field at all involves computers (aka all fields) should have a working knowledge of computers.
