[Neonivek]

Well my Aunt died today...

>_< this isn't boding well.

[NullForceOmega]

I'm sorry to hear that Neo, my condolences on your loss.

[Rolan7]

That's awful, Neonivek ):

[Neonivek]

This is a terrible time for it to speak frankly

Because I don't have time to grieve between Antidepressant switching, trying to make some friends, and hopefully getting a job.

[Tack]

Sounds like you've got the best remedy for grief. Distraction!

But yeah my condolences.

[SalmonGod]

Sigh....

My life has felt like it's been about nothing but work for way too long... haven't felt like I've had a restful period since October of last year.  And it's not getting better anytime soon.  I've worked all but two days out of the past month.  Fucking burned out.  Motivation and enthusiasm from the promotion is wearing off.  At least it feels that way tonight.  I knew this was going to suck, but expectation isn't comfort.

Doesn't help that as soon as I got promoted, the one coworker that I desperately needed to be able to depend on drastically shifted her attitude towards me, and now seems intent on dragging me down.  Turns out she has really fucked up attitudes towards authority.  She's really dodgy whenever I try to talk to her about it, but the best I can interpret is that she doesn't think I'm taking control and directing the team enough... but when I do, it's a sign that I've changed and the position has "gone to my head".  She complains whenever work isn't falling into her lap for a few minutes, but also complains if anything involves more work on her part than she thinks it should.  Seriously, wtf.  And she wasn't doing this shit back when there was no supervisor.

Feeling more alone than ever before in my life... and that's pretty bad.

[Spehss _]

Spent ~2 hours or more on modding DF raws for a single creature. The results are less than I expected.

Feels like I just wasted time. Greeeeeeeeeat.

It is extraordinarily difficult to fully remove the smell of the oil, smoke, and industrial lubricant that work puts me into contact with. I've only been back on the job for two days, and even after a persistent wash with more than one round of soap and body wash I can still clearly, if relatively faintly, make out the smell.

This is the fourth time I've tried to attend college. This is the fourth time I've failed to attend college. At least, it's going to be. All I can think about is that I'm worthless and how I'm a failure and that my dad was right, that I can't finish anything, that I can never actually be a responsible adult because I've never been able to handle any sort of responsibility.
I hate myself for saying this stuff but I can't help it. It's probably true anyway. I should just hospitalize myself before I make any more huge mistakes.

As someone who's been in a very similar scenario (to what you posted here, probably not anything else about your life), it's not really true. The negative downtalk they pile on you over the years colors your perceptions of yourself - or at least it sure as hell did/still does me. You're worth more than that, though, what with what everyone else has said and the fact that you've kept on going back to college so many times. That takes dedication.

Sigh....

Argh. I feel for you, man. Unfortunately I can't offer any advice for your scenario apart from 'hope that human dickishness stops existing', but I do sympathize with the ordeal you're going through. Haven't gone through something of that intensity myself, and I hope never to, but I hope it gets better for you.

Some fucker poisoned my dog just this winter. I still get little anger-seizures just thinking about it. Maybe being angry is just naturally easier on the mind than being sad.
I will never get another dog while I'm living in the city, though. I don't think he was happy just sitting in our apartment all day and walking around our block, given how much he liked walking in the woods back at my grandma's dacha. Plus here, there are infinite chances to be a shitbag and poison somebody's dog and get away with it.

Somebody poisoned your dog !?

[Yoink]

Yeah, processor'd potato is kinda excessive. Thought it might appeal to Yoink, though.

Nah, I just mash it with a fork and that works for me. I'm not that lazy. >.>
The reason this batch wound up lumpy was because I had these huge-ass potatoes and forgot to cut them small enough.

[Rolan7]

I just use potato flakes.  Keep forever, and thicken soup into stew real good.
Or, frankly, serve as a convenient DGAF meal.

Edit: With water, I mean.  Tap water.  Makes a neat, easy gruel.  When I can be assed I do chop potatoes into the stews.  But sometimes I just need some carbs.

[Yoink]

Gross, dude.  
That reminds me, you can buy bagged "mashed potato" at the supermarket. Just add water. Ew.

[MaximumZero]

Get into a cage fight with them to make Dear Leader cry. Always works for me.

[Rolan7]

Well yeah, that's what potato flakes are.  Add water, it becomes a room-temperature mess of mashed potato.  Consume, live, resolve to make a better meal next time.
