I’ve got people in my ear at work over not selling enough add-ons to customers.
Over the past eighteen months I’ve spent probably twelve of them on furlough. I was threatened with redundancy twice, I had my pay cut, my hours cut, my incentive bonuses removed, given overtime and then had it taken away when they hired someone else despite shitcanning half of the workforce, saddled me with equipment that didn’t work, and had me do extra work on my days off without asking and for no extra pay because there was no one else to do it.
Now they’re sitting there wondering why I haven’t been enthusiastic about pushing products on people who don’t want or need them.
Twats.

Anger over how today can't possibly be TWO holidays!
That's just crazy talk!

I just saw the clip of Clint Eastwood mocking the speech by the Native American actress at the Oscars. I'd never seen it. Now I hate Clint Eastwood and would really like throw the old man into the sun.

I was implied as a racist, when I am absolutely not.

So I got up early for once and decide I'm going to go out and get breakfast. Right before I leave, for some unknown reason my what I think is my carbon monoxide alarm goes off right next to me and leaves my ears ringing for 10 minutes. After about 3 minutes of it going on and off, it stopped. I'm 95% sure it just needs a new battery or a wire is loose, it was not a consistent or rhythmic alarm and has not went off again since. I'm having my landlord stop by to have a look at it to make sure, because I'd like to not die.
I decide to go to IHOP. Last time I went to the local IHOP, it was one of the worst experiences I've ever had at a restaurant. Over hour wait to be seating and food, wrong food, wrong change, wrong ticket, you name it. Ended up being the first time in over 5 years I did not tip, it was that bad of service. Anyway I decided maybe that was just a fluke and I'll try it again, since IHOP is the closest place to me with breakfast. (I'm not counting breakfast at like Wendy's or McDonalds). Wait to be seated for about 20 minutes and NO ONE shows up at the front desk. Then a Doordash person comes up waiting to see someone and said how they gave them the wrong order. At this point I'm getting flashbacks of last time and nope'd out. Likely never going to that IHOP again.
I take a drive and got breakfast at Perkins. It was alright so I did get my breakfast in the end.
Also somehow broke a fork eating a salad. It's been one of THOSE days, man. :/

A member of the public took a shit in the single sink that we have in the men's bathroom because, in their own words, "GOTTA SHIT SOMEWHERE"
The bathroom was completely empty when she started. Yes, a women went into the men's room and took a shit in the sink. The women's room was also empty at the time.

People repeatedly taking over the stove top to dry their groceries off on, then taking over the sink to dry their plastic bags off in so I can't cook supper.

Long rant. I apologize in advance.
Today was the start of our two day Physical Inventory at work. Normally this is run by a team of four including at least two Managers. The us year 90% of the work for the last two months has been dumped on me. Virtually all of my requests for help have been ignored. At the same time I have been doing my own job and covering for one guy who quit and another who took a three week vacation. This morning I came in to find an I.T. screwup had made most of my count journals generate wrong. It took me two hours to get it fixed. Next came a Finance dept screwup that kept us from posting anything. That took another two hours. Then people started bitching at me about the lunch service (which I had absolutely nothing to do with). Another hour to retrain our Data Entry people to utilize the patch we came up with to fix all the previous glitches. Then a meeting where all the managers bitched about how far behind they were because of all the screwups. The one guy who has my back realized I was done. He pulled me into his office, had his assistant bring me the huge stack of work I had backed up, and told me to relax and do what what I could. Then he shut the door and sat on a chair outside and refused to let anyone else bother me (except to bring me some brownies). The end of day meeting was a bunch more bitching so as soon as it was over I pointed out that I had to either take a second meal break or go home and then walked out the door despite the people lined up at my desk clamoring for my help.
And I get to go in tomorrow at 7am and do it all over again.
I effing HATE Physical Inventory.

My work got ransomware attacked last night and pretty much nearly shut down our operations. Been going back and forth trying to make something out of nothing all day. It's been a freaking mess. Not as much angry as I am exhausted.

I keep having ideas that I want to draw but by the time I get home, I'm too tired to draw anything.
This happens every day.

I’ve been struggling to pay my rent with this job I started in June, even when I was working overtime. We just got a new manager and he just told me I’m gonna have to go down to only 3 days a week cuz it’s too slow.

There is a back hair close to my side that keeps getting pulled by my undershirt.
It hurts just enough to be EXTREMELY annoying

Now they’re sitting there wondering why I haven’t been enthusiastic about pushing products on people who don’t want or need them. Twats. To expand on this, today I learned that my employer is now looking at threatening people with disciplinaries if they don’t sell enough of these optional items. So it’s not only what made me angry, but also what made me anxious. It’s OK though, because HR will probably do a communication about mental health soon, and that’ll fix all the manipulation and the pressure they inflict on people.
