confessions

[Shift-4]

I feel oppressed that @StealthNuck locked the oppression topic. I can't voice my concerns

 

Oh.......and I confess that that probably cannot be defined as a confession.

Psychology is an interesting subject to me. It's a very deep, broad subject and is becoming increasingly more so as I get deeper into this psychology class. But while it's interesting I'm also becoming increasingly frustrated as the information continues to pile up and up and up. 

 

Can't wait til next semester so I don't have to deal with this class anymore.

Real life got crazy and hectic. And then I forgot about this place. Haha. But I’m happy to still see some familiar faces here!

I confess ~

 

I am at a restaurant, and I was just served a burger and fries without a fork and knife.  I'm so used to eating my food with a fork and knife, and am like, how does someone eat their burger and fries without a fork and knife?  I'm so used to a fork and knife, and taking a frie with my fork and dipping it in sauce.  So I am going to try it, and I took my first bite, and it is strange, but I am going to try it.

Two restaurants in one night!  I am at my second restaurant.  This time it is for pie and champagne.  And they really know how to serve the champagne!  It's like 2.5 glasses into one big glass!

Hey. Yeah, been awhile for sure. I've been good, I moved over to Reddit... How are you?

I confess ~

 

Today the power key on my work Mac broke in half, so instead of backing up my data and putting it on another computer, I took one of those really small flathead screwdrivers, and lifted up the key for F3, and attached it to where the power key is.  Like who needs the F3 key anyway?   It's not like I need a shortcut anyway.  If I do need it.  I will just take my really small flathead and attach the key from the power back to the F3.  I wonder if anyone will notice my unique keyboard. 

[brilac]

And come to think of it, I could have paired a keyboard to the Mac, or unscrewed underneath the bottom of the Mac and taken the hard drive and put it in another Mac, but I'm brilac.

I'm not sure if I hate my profession or just my job.

 

I want to leave, but I feel bad for leaving my team this close to Christmas. I don't have any interviews lined up (yet?) but I'm afraid that I'll feel too guilty to leave even if I got an offer elsewhere. People keep telling me (and I agree) that I don't owe them anything but as much as I dislike my company, I just don't want to leave my team during the busiest time of the year. But if I stay, I'll be miserable.

If you're really lucky and the timing is perfect, you can give your notice at the Christmas staff party.

Proceed to get drunk, insult your boss and confess to everything you hate about the company.

If you do it well enough you could even get fired at the christmas party and get to take a paid christmas vacation before you start your new job.

 

Good luck!

I'm mostly buried in school a month and a half in. I knew it was gonna be this way but it's still a bit sad. I don't see friends, I don't spend a ton of time with family. I spend a lot of time reading, studying, in class and working. I try and work out too but that's fallen off a bit with my being sick. People always talk about balance, but it's easier said than done. Either my studies suffer or the other things suffer or don't get done as much as I've put too much into getting back to school for it not to come first.

Yep, my mind knows that. It's just my damn conscience. I just feel bad for leaving my team at the busiest time of the year.

Hmmm might be a good idea considering our CEO and VPs are at our company Christmas parties.

Tbh I completely understand and have experienced your conflict.

 

years back I had just moved to a new town and took an employee position with a company.  After about a year I received a raise and small promotion.  It was right at this time I was planning on leaving to go back out on my own.  I had a great opportunity coming up.  (Well fortunately it turned out great).

 

when I talked with my supervisor about leaving he was 100% supportive and wished me the best.  He knew what I was trying to do and I feel he cared about my future outside of just the job.  You may not be aware of what your coworkers and bosses think about you in their regard and therefore may receive nothing but encouragement and good wishes.  Most likely you will be replaced or they will share the load via committee.

 

good luck.

Balance is important but sometimes so is short term pain for long term gain.  At least with school there will be a light at the end of the tunnel.  Just a (relatively) short period of your life to slog through for the greater good.  I wish you all the best, I'm sure you'll get there

Thanks! And yeah, you're absolutely right. I know it'll all hopefully be for the best, it's just a grind. But I've heard nothing worth having comes easy, I suppose I'll find out whether that's true.
