Dejected because Christmas seemed to be one disaster after the other.

My niece dropped my brother's Switch in water and I offered to look at it. It was going well and was looking like it would only cost $20 to replace one part but then I decided to clean the joy cons in case of water damage, and it's been a f***ing disaster. The right bumper broke off along with its spring falling on the floor and disappearing, one of the ribbon cable clamps on the left joy con also broke off. The joy cons weren't in great condition and I would have replaced them if they were mine but there's a difference in that and braking them myself. My seasonal depression is also starting, and right now everything just sucks.

Two weeks straight without a day off. Christmas was a very Griswold experience. Someone keeps routing too much work to the wrong guy, as the first one in the office every morning, I get to get the earful for it. And I’ve got a terrible case of the shits this morning, probably stress.

more annoyed than angry. the stuff I ordered this week on amazon is supposed to be here by tomorrow and most of it hasnt shipped. no idea why they'd give such a small window to send things if they arent ready to actually send it. AND they've already charged my credit card.

Since September, I have been having laggy Internet. That's mainly due to the cable wearing out after constant rain and sun. Well, the first one checked and told me I had to reboot the laptop due to excessive memory and install antivirus because of being infected by many of these. Eventually, the laptop got repaired. However, we lost communication with the guy after he had a heart attack as he commented he usually eats junk food due to not always staying at home.
Second one gave a different diagnosis, which was the cable being worn out. He asked me if the TV from my bedroom was working. I told him "no". Apparently, he disconnected but he did not know the cable was linked to the TV from my mother's bedroom. I didn't realise about that until my mother tried to switch on her TV. So my mother didn't have TV for a few days. When the guy that messed up the cable came out, he fixed it but the other person that was supposed to change the cable didn't come out.
Third time, after insisting, it was settled the cable would be changed the Sunday before Christmas Eve. A cable checker came out and commented they don't usually do cable repairing on Sunday, so the operator that promised us they'd do it lied to us.
We had a fourth arrangement to get it. Things start getting suspicious since my mother didn't get the notice the cable repair service would come out and I've been waiting for them and nada.
Internet works fine but if I want to download something without worrying the sign cuts off or if I want to save something, I cannot do it because of the sudden sign off, I can't do it. I'm fed up with the non-fullfilment of the service.

Went out to my truck to head to the gym this morning, and found that the catalytic converter had been stolen off it for the second time in as many years. What's more, having a bitch of a time finding a tow company that can actually move it since the company that owns my apartments installed an "anti-theft" gate, and now the clearance is only 7'. It's cool, thieves. Definitely don't mind throwing tons of money at this so you guys can piss it away on meth. Recycling companies need to be better regulated. If thieves have no ability to sell these stolen parts without getting tagged as a potential thief this might stop being a problem.

First day back from the Christmas shutdown and one of my production lines packed several pallets of product in the wrong boxes.

Went to Urgent Care due to heart palpitations and shortness of breath that have lasted for 4 days. Dr there couldn’t give two shits since his shift is almost over. Waited so long by the time he got there he said I need blood work and they can’t do it since they’re closing soon. Sent me to the ER where I have to wait all over again. Going on 4 hours and no end in sight.

Got my first porch pirate. Something was left for me yesterday afternoon. When I left for work a few hours later nothing was there. This morning when I got home from work the box was there. Someone took the package yesterday and then while I was at work returned the empty opened box.

Happened yesterday but had a fallout with a circle of friends and likely burnt a bridge with them. I'm sorry but if you're going to not only allow me being insulted while I'm having a break down but JOIN IN into kicking me while I'm down, yeah we can't be friends after that. Also getting the "you are choosing to be depressed, stop asking for people to feel sorry for you" take didn't do any favors.
There was a cliq and they made it clear I'm not wanted or be apart of it anymore. They don't want me there, I don't want to be there, it's time to move on. Also saying "you'll be back and will do the same thing and whine again" again, didn't help matters. Nah I'm done.
It sucks so much because some of these people I called really good friends, but when they had the opportunity to take advantage and kick me while I was down, they did it in a heartbeat.

My iron was just slightly too low to be allowed to donate today. This would have been my 75th donation. Now I have to wait 56 days before I'm allowed to try again.

Going out in some fairly heavy rain, coming back inside cold and wet, trying to go dry off just for people to choose THEN to follow me around and ask me a bunch of questions. Could you not?

Someone at work seemed to push me away, at least online.

My fellow supervisor called in for tonight (valid reason). So I'm alone at the end of a brutal week and there's a chance I'll have to take their overtime shift this weekend too.

One of my colleagues spends their entire day complaining about everything. Many of the complaints are work related but others touch on topics the board's no politics rule prevents me from talking about.
Today our company told us we're getting five extra days holiday per year, without any strings attached. No cut in pay or expectation to work longer hours. They're just giving us more holiday.
My colleague somehow managed to spend an hour complaining about this as well. How do you complain about getting more paid time off??? I really wish people came with a mute button.

Amazon sending me multiple items that I did not order! Took almost a hour with customer service to get things fixed.
