Tried to return to work a day early (This coming Saturday) since I'd have to blow another PTO day for it and was told I could not do that. I know it sounds weird to be angry for having an extra day off work but I'd like to save some days off for the holidays.

My laptop decided to freeze up on me today. I had to do a workshop on ajob interviews & techniques, so as a last-ditch attempt, was able to get Zoom up and running on my tablet to do it.
Afterwards, I gave up and did a full factory reset on it. Thankfully aI don't keep anything on it (I tend to use SD cards and USB sticks), but a consequence is the WiFi doesn't work. I can work around that using one of those USB dongles for now.
My laptop is usually plugged into my TV for watching movies and shows downloaded using my main desktop PC anyway, but this really annoyed me, as it's only like 2 years old.

Got a call from my mom this morning. Told her we were celebrating my boys’ birthdays this weekend. Mom asks, “Really? When is their birthday?” GAH! Asked her if she wanted to talk to them. “No. Just wish them a happy birthday from me,” she says. GRRRR! There are good reasons why I talk to that woman as little as possible.

Let's see...
Neighbor that refused to get vaxxed is now in the hospital and more than likely will be dead before the week is out.
Took my dog to the vet ,cause she has been scratching her ears a bunch this past weekend,so there is another unexpected bill.
Oh and I only managed to get maybe 2 hours sleep since Saturday..

Got into a minor car accident earlier. Nobody was hurt, but my car has some damage that I'll have to have looked at. Angry at myself more than anything.

The new manager I have at work that's only been there for three months has systematically undone over 4 1/2 years of design and configuration that I've poured my heart and soul into, and is doing everything in his power to radically change my job description to nothing more than a slightly above-average Help Desk tech, which is lower on the totem pole than where I was when I first joined the company. He's got a clear plan to eliminate as many of the people in the department as possible so he can outsource everything and bring in his own personal guys to take the higher-level jobs by introducing software only they may know. The worst part about this is that it comes weeks after abusive behaviors from him where he's micro-managed every task I've done, "unofficially" reprimanded every minor mistake, and has pushed buttons that are clearly orchestrated to get me to quit or do something in retaliation so I can be terminated.
I had a complete and total nervous breakdown just getting ready for work this morning and called in sick as a result. I'm arranging for meetings with my Director and the Director of HR to discuss the situation, and will plead my case. The worst part about this is the person who brought him in quit not even two weeks later due to other disputes, but she had clear ulterior motives for our department that got pushback from our shareholders and left him high and dry. I've personally been responsible for building the entire infrastructure they are using with my own configurations, standards, and policies all thoroughly documented, and up until the hiring of this new manager have had zero complaints on my professionalism, work ethic, or anything else of merit. I even asked point blank to my Director if what my manager was trying to tell me was true two weeks ago when I originally voiced my concerns about his management methods and was told he's heard nothing but good things from our staff on the progress of the projects I've been responsible for.
Long story short: I'm going to give the benefit of the doubt to the Director I had been up until this point working directly under over the word of someone who has been two-faced in every single conversation I've ever had with the new manager, someone whom has completely flipped the department structure upside down for the sake of change, and quite frankly has no business being the leader of any person with both his lack of candor and flat-out lies to the superiors above him. NOBODY I've spoken to has any nice things to say about him (aside from a single Level 1 tech who quite frankly has no business being in support to begin with), and there are other managers in other departments I have good relationships with whom have also shared their frustrations with his demeanor and abrasive communication.
I cannot work for someone who finds it perfectly acceptable to be completely disrespective of my knowledge, experience, and even my personal accomplishments (this asshole literally stalked my LinkedIn profile and called into my question my education and job history, who the hell does that?!). I can't outright quit due to my family obligations during this pandemic, but I sure as hell am demoralized to a point where I'm going to seek either being transferred to another department, or shifted out from underneath his management altogether. I know it's very unlikely I'll get what I want, but I cannot in good conscience accept rolling over and regressing in my personal professional growth because some shithead wants to "make his mark" before he inevitably gets canned due to pissing off the wrong shareholders.

Blimey, I'm never going to be rid of this plaster on my leg at this rate. Went to London, new cast put on, see you in six weeks. Its not healing, so I need surgery. Been on a waiting list since June, foot has to stay in the plaster to keep it stable or the bones in the arch will collapse. Getting a bit frustrated over the whole thing to be honest.

I’ve been waiting over an hour for a train to work. I was told I could claim compensation, which will amount to £4.40, so considerably less than the hour plus of pay that I’ve now lost. This evening I will wait another 45 minutes for a train because the timetable was changed during COVID. I am not happy.

January 2020, Demon Slayer funko pops were teased online. After a very long wait, they were finally put up for pre-order in May 2021. I still have the original email from Hot Topic telling me they'd be shipped out mid-August.
Last month, I checked and they'd been delayed to October. Ok, fine. Sucks, but I'd already waited this long, why not. Then I check today just randomly to see now they're being delayed until December. I'll be lucky to get them before 2022 at this rate.

here's something that made me angry. my sister has spent the past three years going through a divorce from hell...mainly because she and the idiot she's technically still married to are too lazy to get up off their asses and file the paperwork (which they've filled out 3+ times) with the courts. he's now a meth addict and we're 98% sure he's homeless. since they don't have any children, when they first separated their biggest point of contention was their two dogs. first he said she can't have them, then a week later changed his mind and said she can, then another week screw you they're staying with him, and then he doesn't have the money to take care of them and they're better off with her, and then she's never going to see them again, and finally if she doesn't come over and get them now he's taking them to the vet to be put down. that was three years ago. just real f***ing fun times.
1 AM Sunday morning i get a phone call from my sister, asking if i could come pick her up at a friend's house and driver her back to her place, which she moved into after leaving him. he'd been calling her from a bunch of different numbers all night acting weird and saying he wanted to come over to her house and see his dogs. apparently he'd gone over there a few times before, but since her car wasn't there he "supposedly" (quotes for hindsight) just left. so i pick her up and drive her there, and the screen door has a hole punched through it and is wide open. we know he was there, because she always closes the hole-less screen door. she then unlocked the door and tried to push it open, but nothing happened because the deadbolt was locked. she never locks the deadbolt when she leave's the house (its a separate key and she's lazy), so now we know the asshole broke into her house. we go inside and he's not there (neither is the hundred bucks she left on her table), but his phone is. he'd left it to charge. so we knew he was coming back. i grabbed her dog and the phone and told her to grab some clothes, and brought her back to my house to crash. we let our mom know the situation, and she said she's going to buy her an alarm system. we check the stores but no luck, so mom decides to order one from Amazon and it was supposed to be delivered to her house today.
so my sister stayed with me until today, when around noon she packed up her dog and the phone and headed home to await the arrival of her new security system. twenty minutes after she left, got a call from her. when she opened her door, the f***er was sitting on her couch waiting for her. he actually had the nerve to swear up and down he wasn't the one who broke in over the weekend, that he'd heard what happened and came over and broke in let himself in to check on her to make sure she was okay. then, while she's outside calling me, he goes through her purse and takes the phone (which can't be his since he "wasn't the one who broke in"), all her cash, and her Discover card, and took off.

ARGGGHHHHH
Ok so my lady was at work and bored. Started looking at the people on the MS Sex Offenders List. Then I get this message. "Hey isn't this guy one that goes to all the wrestling shows you are at?" and a link to his profile on the state ran SOR.
LOok and yep I see that guy at every indie wrestling event. Front row every show. So I contacted the owner of my local indie. Let him know. Then a group of us contacted pretty much every indie in the state.
And why is the guy on the Sex Offenders List... "Traveling interstate to have sex with a minor".
Happened 16 years ago. A good friend's mother works for the Sex Offenders Registry in MS. He asked her and MS has odd laws on people on that list. They can't be at or near schools,public beaches or public parks. But can run businesses that have kids as their customers. And from what we have read he can come to shows.
So now that every promoter knows,word is getting out to the wrestlers and other BTS people. Next show in town one of the security people's job is to stay near and keep an eye on this guy.
Like I was telling one promoter "It would be slightly different if like the female in question was 17 and REDACTED was 19 or 20. But he was 27 when this happened!"
Pissed about how MS laws are and cause since I see this guy at every show I cut him a deal on some dvds last show.

Found out my AC has not been on as of late. I live somewhat underground so it's been cool and I just thought it was muggy because it's been in the 90s and 100s where I live. I found this out because I found water leaking from the AC and now there's water in the floor. I had to spend money on a dehumidifier.

My dog got in the trash can and knocked it over again last night. She always hides under the couch when she feels guilty over misbehaving.

Well anger is a bit of a strong word, but I was upset how in the newest episode of this one anime I've been watching one of the waifus I liked cut her hair in that classic Japanese display of resolve. (even though the character is not even Japanese so that makes zero sense.)
I just hate that trope in general because I like my 2D girls to keep their hairstyle consistent

I wanted to clean my car windows so I grabbed paper towels and the can of glass cleaner. Sat in the car, pointed the can at the window and pushed the nozzle……nothing. There was just enough pressure to make a little bubble of foam on the nozzle. It was almost empty anyway si I threw the can away and went inside for another one. Second can felt about half full. Pointed it at the window and pressed the button….a tiny, weak stream shoots maybe three inches from the nozzle. I managed to get enough on a paper towel to clean half the windshield before the can gives out. Went and found a full can of glass cleaner. Pushed the button and all this one did was make a big ball of foam on the nozzle itself.
I don’t feel like going to the store to buy more.
