Well...Update. TL;DR We're probably losing our job but there's still a reason to celebrate.

Hello everyone.
I hope you're all doing well and that you have had a great morning/day/evening. Whichever is applicable.

I just got in from work. I'm off crutches and now in an air cast boot thing. Walking boot. After bending over backwards and jumping through hoops to try to get this backdated doctor note, I have failed. Not only have I failed to get it, but Kinlee said she was gonna have to point me for the days missed. She held off incase I was able to get the backdated doctor note. But because I'm not, she has to point me. This pretty much means I've lost my job. A few friends said I should take it to HR. Our HR lady was the one who told me last time I brought a doctor's note in that doctor's notes don't cover you. #Whatagreatplacetowork. 🙄

So hopefully, your day is at least going better than mine. Although. I woke up today, I have an apartment to come home to, and I'm not a starving homeless person. So that plus my meds should be enough reason for me to smile. Just bummed about losing my job... But I guess at least I had a job to lose... I know a lot of people will probably tell me to stop bitching and that I brought this on myself. Wouldn't be the first to tell me that. Won't be the last.

On the bright side... I'm off crutches. Thank God. The boot is easier and less painful. Everyone is betting I'll be back on my feet (lol punny) in a few weeks :3

Also on the bright side... Today is day 3 without self harm or taking prescription opioids to get that high, warm, fuzzy and relaxed feeling... and almost month 4 without swallowing a razor blade or any other type of suicidal shit.

I know, I know... I shouldn't be celebrating shit like this because I should have 'outgrown' such 'Emo teenage bullshit' 🙄 Shut up and let me have this. Yes. I've actually been told this...

Anyways. Hope you all find a reason to smile. I'm taking my stupid ass for a post work snooze.

soooo if you get fired, will your disability go up to keep you afloat at least? What are the stakes here?
@BlueVeins I'm actually thankful that she's keeping the rent the same for one more year before they raise it on me. They usually keep it the same the first two years you live here, but this would be the third for me lol.

I don't know, I got a good deal here. A one bedroom deluxe apartment for 615. I saw what the standard one bedroom looks like and it's like comparing a Volkswagen beetle to a bus. Lol.

Best of luck on apartment hunting, darling.

@JadedJekyll Wait, you're telling me that the owner just raises the rent the longer people live there? That's really slimy.
@BlueVeins Yeah overtime there's a rent increase...

"doctor's notes don't cover you"

What kind of ball-sweat hellscape shop do you work in??? That's bad even for America.
@DunningKruger You're not wrong. I mean. My boss Kinlee HAS done a lot in the way of trying to help me out, but her boss and the higher ups don't care. At all.

@JadedJekyll I hope things work out well for you. This is a terrible spot to be in.
@DunningKruger Thank you very much 💙

Some people are idiots. You can celebrate every fucking day for any fucking reason you want. 🥳
Take care, and I hope you'll find another job soon!
@LookingForTheSummer Aww! Thank you! You take care too 💙
I love you, my friend. My morning has been pretty rough but it is what it is. 🖤🤗
@JadedJekyll Back in the ward as we speak. All doped up and sad.
@JadedJekyll at least at this one we get to keep our phones. long term ward I was in before was super strict and no phones or anything. It was real restrictive.
@DarkHeaven Aww. I'm sorry. Yeah. The psych hospitals here are like that too they take your phone and basically everything away. Here's to hoping you get in a better mental place soon.

@JadedJekyll did you end up breaking your ankle? What’s wrong with this doctor? Why wouldn’t they give you a note? Why do you even need a note. You are in a walking boot. I am upset for you.

Are you doing okay?

@JadedJekyll I think it could help you. I hope it does 💖.
@iamonfire696 Thank you so much. I'm glad it helps you💖💖

@JadedJekyll I'd been pretty much in the tank for the idea that things in the eurozone had to get much, much worse before they got better.

my View of the European situation is that the Euro itself is responsible for quite a bit of the problem now faced by European society.

Also, Austerity as a principle to discipline a society to bring about a lean and competitive state works but only if your country is the among one of the few ones doing it, part of the reason the United States was spared youth unemployment levels north of 50 percent was we DIDN'T engage in Draconian budget cuts which is HERESY from the mouth of an American to the Republicans, but the bottom line about Austerity is that it -can- work but it depends on the whole world not taking the same approach at the same time.

The USA is doing better but primarily because it did the opposite of what everyone else was doing and stimulated its economy during the recession.

So quite naturally I was vocally in support of the Greek Exit from the Euro zone-Also because I view the IMF Loans as predatory behavior I'm like why should the banks get rewarded for acting badly?

Which is why I had my eye on the situation so tightly. Of course Greece opted to pay its way out, which has been painful.

The Euro itself is a straight jacket around the European nations that use only it in that it means there's one economic policy for its currency for all the countries under its jurisdiction which just doesn't make sense, the whole area is too big, too diverse and has too many situations from country to country in order to have one Currency to actually succeed and I'm not against the European integration project but I think political unity makes a lot more sense than financial unity.
@BetweenKittensandRiots I'm not even going to pretend to understand what you're talking about. You sound super smart, though. Lol. I'm an uncultured swine that lives under a rock reading books and playing video games. Herpderpderpderp
@JadedJekyll I took to using uncultured swine as part of my personal insults towards people but I prefer to just call them inbreds.

Anime pervs are always like ah I see you're a man of culture half sarcastically every time I get into a show primarily for the anime girls with nice bodies to say the least.

But the truth of the matter is that despite their insincerity and half sarcastic remarks I actually made it a goal to become more cultured quite awhile back.

I kind of forgot that Musically I already have one.

although I have -truly- eclectic taste that are all over the place this is home:

If you're wondering what the song is about to brace yourself because your curiosity will lead to a broken heart.

it certainly broke mine.

my curiosity gets me in trouble sometimes, but the kind of trouble is suffering and heartbreak.

there's a huge reason it's home court too.

but I mean it I really do have a culture.

it's a bit of a counter culture, but I have one.
