If Mickey Mouse crossdressed as Minnie Mouse, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

Some people have no manners.

Some people have no manners.

I work retail, and that is definitely the truth.

Everybody is getting very, very angry. But it seems to me that it is over the wrong stuff. Oh, well, I punched a light switch and shattered it yesterday, so...

Coffee is looking better and better every day

 

[Elgirldani]

Every so often this feeling is overwhelming and I can’t ignore it

Coffee is looking better and better every day

But a key question: Are you a closer?

That the thunderstorm which just passed would have been more fun under the covers.

It’s amazing how people are grieving things when they have lost very little in all of this. I understand people need companionship, and routine, and accomplishments. But grieving something you haven’t lost forever, or even really lost, is amazing to me. People are genuinely putting their lives on the line to keep others alive, but because your generally pointless job is temporarily requiring you to adapt a bit, people can’t handle that tiny aspect. I’ve seen many asking for help while offering none. This is temporary and when they look back, will they see how selfish they seem?

Spoiler alert. No they won't. They are the center of the universe, remember...

You're not wrong.

I feel horrible because I haven't been able to do more to help than the little I have had the capability to do so far. I'm looking for ways to do more, other than financially.

I've lost sleep knowing I'm safe at home after working in a relatively safe job, while there are others in my life who are deeply at risk doing what needs be done.

Yet damned every day I hear coworkers bitching and moaning about the required schedule shift ruins their day because they have to come in two hours earlier.

Fucking children.

You’re right. I should know better.

I’ve seen people bitching about Instacart being delayed - do they even know how lucky they CMS get their fucking avocados delivered?

Or asking for helping with every little tech change they have to deal with. I understand people need help but these are folks that have never once said, ‘I’m offering this in exchange’. My one friend was laughing about ‘haha to everyone asking when I’d have kids - now you’re all stuck at home with yours’. It’s all so unproductive. Everyone is struggling but there’s something we can all do to help. Asking a neighbor if they need something when you are going to the store takes zero effort and may make their lives immeasurably easier.
/end rant. I hate people.

I like you Avery, your heart and minds in the right place on all of this. I just hope more people fell the same way, but I readily admit that all of the people I interact with feel the same as you do so that makes me feel good. Maybe the squeaky wheels in all of this are the aberrations with more supportive and caring ones being the norm?

 

[barefootgirl69]

Ditto....that and they need a serious ass whooping!

Yes, they do!!!
With all the "entitled" attitude, I thought they were in their 20s...I was wrong. They're just an asshat instead.

 

[tnman03]

I think about this and try every day not to be that person. I’ve been successful this far. So grateful every day that those I love are safe for now.

Fara, you'd never be that type of person, it's not in your DNA. Never doubt that. Everyone one of us here is far from perfect and we all have our fault. But you and most of the folks on here I've gotten to know have to much heart to diminish the suffering and sacrifices of this virus by trivial complaints of inconveniences.

Good social distancing plan there.

I am hoping that my toes arent broken after dropping 2 13 1/4" cast iron pans on them as I was trying to put the pans on the shelf.

(I doubt they are broken, the shock has worn off, kind of and it is only a minor annoyance now as the event in question happened about 10 minutes ago.)

*pinches your butt do you don't focus on the pain in your toes*

*laughed as she pinches* yup, definitely not focused on toes now. Thanks

I had 30 minutes in my classroom to grab what I will need while teaching from home over the next 3 months. I made a list before I went so that I could streamline my efforts and make the most of that short amount of time. I had a plan.

I opened my classroom and it was like a moment frozen in time. Halfway finished projects. Jackets left in the coat closet. Calendar untouched. That normal buzzing energy of my classroom was stagnant.

I know that I am lucky. I am so thankful for how fortunate I am to have my family safe, and to be surrounded by a community that looks out for one another. But, I get to be sad about the loss of the rest of the school year. I start this new project every September and I work on it all year until it’s a masterpiece in June. I usually feel accomplished, at least partially. But this year I don’t. I feel like it’s incomplete and I’m so sorry for my students, and for my own children too.

I’m going to make the best of it. I have some ideas for making my daily lessons as meaningful and engaging as I can. I appreciate a challenge.

Anyway that’s what I’m thinking.

Oh you’re so selfish and awful. Oh my god. How could you be such a twat.

You’re such a Sandra.

Weren’t you bitching about your cancelled rendezvous with your boyfriend?

I get what you’re saying, but this is the equivalent of a humblebrag.

Difference being, I’m not asking for help. I also realize that in the grand scheme of things, which I said. it’s a small complaint and sad. I’m not grieving my old way of live like it’s somehow gone. I also am consistently bringing groceries to relatives and neighbors. I’m not complaining about how my office is no longer at a luxury coworking space (which yes, I just saw someone I know post about on Facebook)

I like that you post stalk me though!

You’re not asking for help, but you’re whining about it. And then you post a rant about how shitty people are acting and how they’re complaining. Someone who lost their job would likely say the same about your post.

Of course I do!

Oh hush you.

Such a Joe Exotic

That’s the greatest compliment you could bestow.
