I’m so fucking tired of being tired

That’s basically it. I’m tired of working jobs that don’t give me enough time to even feel well rested. I hate that I don’t have time to take a vacation or that my only “vacations” are me lying on the couch too sick to move. I remember my mother being able to take a week off a few times a year just to spend time with me. Now it takes me a year to save up enough time to even think about taking a week off. I hate having to ration my sick days and having to go into work when I don’t feel well. Covid is still a thing and now we’ve got the monkey pox to worry about. I should be able to stay home and rest to not only keep myself safe, but also my teammates and faculty that I work around. But because of my hours…

The Simpsons (1989) did it, but not Bob’s Burgers (2010). What a difference 20 years can make

Random thought

So, I drive truck, and have lurked on here for a while, even posted 1-2 times. I gotta say, there is something that def popped in my mind. I've seen all of these asshole bosses, and it reminds me of all of the phone numbers I've seen carved into truck stop, porta-potty, & rest area bathroom walls. Typical msgs like “call for a good time” type msgs, but one or two have had a request for dick pics. ​ I wonder, hypothetically, if any of the numbers I've seen are some of these bosses' numbers … I mean … No one here would ever do that, because y'all're stand-up people … right? Right??

Any jobs where you don’t have to bust your ass?

I don't really care about good pay or anything I just want a chill job where I don't have to try very hard. Pretty much every job i've gotten this year they expect you to bust my ass every minute I am clocked in. Sales quotas, efficiency targets, sweating, research, etc. I want one of those jobs people talk about when they say they barely do anything all day.

no phones

The no phone policy at work places is just to cover the employers ass incase they mess up so you can't record it. Change my mind.

Do I have to work while having food poisoning?

Texted my manager a few minutes ago to let her know I’m literally shitting my brains out while throwing up crying to my mom on the phone, pretty sure I got food poisoning or I’m dying. My boss replied I still need to come in because were short staffed. Haven’t replied yet kinda shocked, she definitely thinks I’m faking do I need to show my throw up and turds?
