“I misread your e-mail and thought it said today, not Tuesday. So you missed your interview.” – HR of the “dream job” I applied to. Why do I even try?

Not sure if this is the right place for this, but I published a book about a worker’s uprising in a surreal, Kafkaesque factory, and, well, I’m pretty proud

Inflation idea

So I’ve had a thought lately that we’re slowly repeating the mistake of Germany post Great War here in the US. Why don’t we stop the presses and mints for a while. Reduce the amount of cold hard cash in circulation, right? Only problem with this idea that I’m seeing is how we deal with the digital side of things. Debit and credit cards and the like. Thoughts?

My mandatory work schedule.

It's a well paying union job. The colored days are our only days off. We went on strike last year because of the mandatory 7 day a week schedule and the company was gracious enough to concede the blue days to us, before that we had to work on blue days too. Been at it for 5 years and I'm at the point where I don't even know what to do when I get a day off and find myself wishing I was at work due. Pretty sure I might have stockholms.

how can I politely ask for a payment that’s 2 days overdue?

[I have diagnosed general anxiety disorder] Edit: I work from home to a small company I was supposed to get my payment this Monday, and I'm in the middle of moving to a new apartment so I'm definitely spending a bit more than usual. This is not the first time my payment is delayed, but in the other times it was only 1 day delayed. I texted my boss yesterday and he was like “oh sorry I forgot, I was traveling”. Okay, no problem. But then he didn't pay me yesterday. How can I ask for this payment again? I just don't know how to ask for it being polite and still firm about it. I really need the money ASAP, and this whole situation is making me feel super anxious, I have hyperhidrosis and it's super bad. I feel kinda disrespected, you know? It's so stressful

I got fired for no reason.

I got fired today. I really got fired today. Fucking Hell, I really got fired today. And that too over a stupid and a useless reason. SO FUCKING STUPID. I cried a lot today. What should I do? I didn't even get time to process it, fucking hell! I really got fired today! What has my life come to? They said that they want to hire someone who has a lot of experience and that I can't do anything right. Am I at fault for not having enough experience? Will I never be good enough? This shit sucks. THERE IS ALWAYS GOING TO BE SOMEONE WHO WILL HAVE MORE EXPERIENCE THAN ME AND WILL BE BETTER THAN ME, RIGHT? SO WHY DID THEY EVEN COMPARE ME? I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS SHIT. I put in a lot of effort, and I GAVE IT MY ALL. BUT WHAT DID I GET IN…
