Y'know...there was a time when I thought I grew up in the model family...the older I get, the more dysfunctional we become.  It all started to come apart a couple of years after Dad died...I'll spare you specifics, but I feel like I live in a freakin' soap opera, sometimes.  I used to listen to friends talk about the plotlines of some of those and shake my head, thinking they were so ridiculously overdone.  I find them a lot more plausible, these days...(I still don't watch them...but the stories don't seen anywhere near as outrageous as they did two decades ago...)

What the heck is wrong with you people at Google Maps? I spent 30 minutes trying to avoid a route that absolutely sucks, and you did nothing, NOTHING, on the alternate routes but try and reroute me BACK to that stinking route. FRUIT YOU Google.

Ever had friends that hang out without you?

Or you're the last person to know what's going on within your group of friends?

ever felt like they only talk to you because you're the one with the money?

Are you always the one who initiates to hang out, but always get blown off anyways?

Are you the third wheel when talking in a group, being left behind?

Ever needed to vent to them personally and they don't answer for nothing, however you see them posting online via social media almost every minute of the day from their cellular device, but when they need a friend at 2 am, you always answer?

Yeah, that's me. I'm getting quite tired of this rollercoaster of fake friends. It's not that it upsets me, it more so makes me irritated and hate the human race.

End rant.

Freaking tired of being sick and tired. I've had my surgery, and in some ways that's made things even worse. If I don't take my pain medication, my body aches. just about everywhere. If I do take my pain medication, my brain gets a little fuzzy and I forget to do things, or I when I game my comments don't make sense.

And I'm not okay with no pain medication, so I've been taking the meds, but it's powerful stuff and I really *REALLY* don't want to flirt with an addiction, so even though I'm able to call to get a refill from the doctor, I don't want too, even though I'm out.


Bah fruiting humbug!

One of my brothers is a petulant jerk who messes with the family because he can (financially) and he likes to play power games. He's recently been able to afford to buy the house next to his and demolish it because he wants more yard space.

My other brother is one of the kindest, patient-est, level-headed guys you'd want to know. His family... I love them more than I love a lot of things.
They're losing their house in the Texas flood.

I feel so damn helpless to do something about it. And it just makes me feel like the **sholes of the world get to go on with great things in their lives, whereas the good get trod upon by the bootheel of random chance.

Wow! This is problem the least "bad" vent I've ever made on here, and I'm sure it's the common cold of RPOL nobody deems necessary to mention or whine about.

I'm really bored, and physically tired. I worked by butt off the past few weeks and am getting a little home-vacation for the rest of August.

Anyway, onto the actual vent; I really want to start ANOTHER new game! I know! It's hard to resist doing that, but it's only wise to refrain. I can hardly keep up with two games in my worst seasons.

I don't know what I would GM anyway. I'm just the in the GMing mood though, ya know? The games I play in have all sort of slowed or petered out. At least nothing new to read for the past week.

I'm bored though. Don't get me wrong! It's a relief to be bored and not stressed out with things I have to do. Not having money makes it easy to find time at home though.

Dang it! That's not worth going into, but yeah, money is the bums right now. Not going to focus on that though. I am literally doing everything I can right now short of getting myself into trouble.

I guess time to fill in some details about my campaign worlds nobody will probably read, but hey, somebody might.

Yes, I know we are short people.
Yes, I know people call in "sick".
But there's no stinking reason why this is the second time I've been on rotation without a secondary management, or even someone with a basic key/ over ride ability on the schedule past 6pm. Morning crew had people, 3 to be exact.

My only saving grace is that I was able to convince someone to come back in, on overtime, to help me close down the store.

Yes I understand that I know the most of all the floor managers. I know the ins and outs of the system just slightly less than the current assistant store manager 1.
THAT DOESN'T MEAN I CAN BE IN TWO PLACES AT ONCE. All this is doing is getting customers upset because they have to wait as I run from one side is the store to the other. As I stand using the only master key in the place as the secure doors are open, all while I'm being called for overrides that no one else can do.

We have a reputation for being a bad store, how do they expect that image to change when this situation is "intentional". I'd be looking for another job but I'm here, ALL THE TIME, to the point where customers are calling me "the night manager". I don't want to be the night manager, I want to see my kids more than 15 minuets a day as they head off to school.

I know change jobs, nothing around here pays remotely close to what I make, wife does not get any kind of benefits so can't count on that for any kind of smooth transition. I know, we can not afford to hire anymore. The lack of people is the base of ALL the issues. You can not make the problem go away without more physical bodies.

End rant, my "lunch" is done because the floor is crying frantically for help.

Re: NOTHING but VENTS - Vent all you want without replies
I'm having a hard time today. All I want to do is kill stuff and indulge is man's other vice (in game). I have no outlet right now, and I just really feel like I'm tearing myself down trying to cope with the PTSD today. I went out, to the LGS, and it was mistake. It only made me worsen by the jerkish attitude of the people there. I zoned out on the road home, and don't even know how I got home safely.

I feel like stuff. Just rotten and stressed.

I feel like I just sort of...drift. I don't recognize my home, my things, and even RPoL seems foreign to me at times.

Re: NOTHING but VENTS - Vent all you want without replies
Here I go again, for the third time. I'm beat tired. I just can't sleep. Lay in bed, toss and turn, just can't stop thinking. I have nothing but time to sleep. I just can't.

I'm on medication that is supposed to knock me on my ass, but it only gives me slight relief to sleep most of the time. No doctor is willing to prescribe sleeping pills, but gods I wish they would, for times like now.

It's been four days, and I've slept 16 hours. I know med students and parents sleep less than I do. I also know I won't die of it, at least not nearly yet, but it's hard because I'm worthless, depressed and angry. I can barely write this, and I should be doing more constructive things with my time.

I don't dare log into my games, for fear I'll miss something, or get irritable and post angry and have fiasco. I got burned badly by a GM on here that I played under while sleep deprived. Not doing that again.

I told him that the way he wanted to do it would take like a million years.  I thought up a way to make it go way faster, but he told me that wouldn't work and would break everything.  I realized my mistake, acknowledged it, and told him he was right.

So then, I set up the whole backend and he goes to do his thing, and what does he do?  He tries it the way I thought up, that he told me wouldn't work.  And guess what?  It didn't work, and broke everything.

So now everything is broken.

I'm a mess right now: my 8 years daughter wrote a letter where she described herself as undesirable, ugly and other bad stuffs that I don't remember.

I hope that the letter and her felling are only linked to the lice story and nothing more...

I can't believe I lost sleep last night obsessing over somebody's twisted opinions.

Thak god for (sane) good friends here on RPOL. Wish I had people like that IRL.

Re: NOTHING but VENTS - Vent all you want without replies
Don't ever let yourself get complacent behind the wheel.  I was on my way home from work tonight, thinking about the errand I needed to run instead of focusing on traffic around me...started a left turn into what I thought was an open lane...and saw the oncoming headlights just in time to realize that I was wrong, and there was no way I was going to avoid getting hit.

I'm fine...the other driver was a little banged up (surprising, as I was in a Honda CR-V and he was driving an Escalade)...considering I got the car for $2200, I'm pretty sure it's totalled...cost a lot more than that to fix what happened to it.

And just in time for the holiday season, too.  At least I still have my old car, and can afford the fixes on it to get it registered, so I'm not totally up a creek.
