Update, although no sads, although there is a minor anger/disappointment
Moved in today. I need more shelves but otherwise, I'm unpacked and living away from home. Wide awake with 5 hours left until I gotta get ready to leave for class, but I took a 5 hour nap after unpacking and dropping my roommate off at work. I need some duct tape too, because the room I'm in has broken window from a while back when the neighbour ran over a rock and it shot straight through the window. Nearly killed my roommate if he wasn't exiting the room. It's to keep the bugs out of anything
I need to pick up a desk and an actual computer setup now and I'm golden to fully work on stuff for class/my job. Never mentioned this, but my mother is so against video games that I never had the heart to tell her my dream job is programming video games. Speaking of her, she may be experiencing empty nest syndrome already. While I was sleeping, she thought I was ignoring her and thought I was acting juvinille. I was legitamately tired, explained it to her and told her I'm gonna come pick up some stuff I forgot (I forgot my work shoes, somehow lost a sheet for my bed, and I forgot my toothbrush/acne stuff)
As for the disappointment, I'll go over what happened since the last post. I got a call Friday from my Boss saying that the other store would take me, but he needs someone to cover for closing the weekend and he couldn't get anyone. I agreed, and then 10 minutes later, my HR rep tells me I can't go to the other store for two weeks after because I "can't transfer to another store during a pay period" and because I agreed, they won't let me redact the statement. Regardless, I begrudgingly said I'll work when I can but expect me to be late (the shifts were given before he had my schedule for classes and he never changed it because he was expecting me to leave, so he said show up when I can and leave at the times I'm scheduled till). I looked at my schedule for next week and I have EXACTLY ZERO HOURS. So they want me to stay and cover but won't give me hours despit needing me.
Ended today with a victory ice cream with my roommate and a few rounds of Overwatch with good internet.
Wow... I sense your ex is still much into you.
About your job, is anyone you can mail about the situation? Your manager and his boss? The general manager of the store? Anyone? If you are on your way out (relax the other store will call) then have a shot at giving suggestions and reporting the fucked up situation, it might earn you a promotion, who knows?
I actually overheard my store manager talking about the state of my department. He's aware of how awful it is, and he's on the other managers about it, and to quote him "You know what the problem is, you know what to do to fix it, so fix it". I'm glad other managers spoke up saying how good of a worker I am, so I know I'm off the target
As for my ex, I'm unsure. I think I mentioned we had a deep heart to heart about how we both have insecurities in regards to going more intimate. She made mention saying how she's afraid when it gets to the point it goes beyond just kissing/cuddling, she's afraid that he'll will leave her because that's all he aimed to do, and my response was "I hope you didn't think I'd have left you if we got to that point." And I told her I don't date people unless I can see myself spending my life with that person. It's why I take things very slow in relationships for similar reasons (my first girlfriend actually only wanted a physical relationship and when I didn't do much outside of kissing her, she dumped me). She then dropped the entire conversation saying "let's stop here before we say something we will regret". Funnily enough, we had a deep heart to heart minutes before then, and I told her how that's the first time she's actually opened up to me.
Gonna be 100% honest, I do still have some feelings there but I'm at a point where she needs some counselling or something for her mental health. She's severely depressed, she's got a near psychopathic disposition on everything because of that along with a very nihilistic view on life/people/etc, and she's got awful self-image. She actually starves herself because she refuses to believe she's beautiful unless she's 90lbs. It breaks my heart knowing she's exactly like me and there isn't a damn thing I can do until she says "I need help". I've reccomended several places to her for her mental health that are free/cheap, but she won't take it. I've done all I can, I can only hope she takes it eventually...
Edit: thank you everyone who's been just listening/chiming in over the last few months.
Edit 2:
Change in plans, I have a sad. Crystal Clear's site got taken down. I'm 99% sure the guy who made it wants to blame the youtuber who gave his hack more publicity, but I'm sure he's beating himself up over it too because of how he went about it
If shockslayer is a bay12er, and he's seeing this, he should consider reuploading it as a patch file instead of a full patched rom. That's what got Nintendo to go after him. Plenty of sites are still up because they use patch files instead of full ROMs.
There's a discussion going on about it on a fan discord about what's exactly going on, but it's all speculation
