Blog Thread 5: A New Beginning
Patrick:
Fuck when's the last time I posted
This coming Sunday is the last day I will be working at my current job, where I've been for 1.5 years. I'm quitting because I got tired of being yelled at for no reason by the bar manager, who is not only doing so out of his jurisdiction, but for absolutely no reason. Which he would know, if he spent any time in the kitchen whatsoever aside from whenever he decides to throw a tantrum.
I would have complained to management, but the managers are him, his wife, and his parents-in-law. I can't very well complain to him, since I don't trust him to not be a total pile of garbage about it. And I can't very well talk to the rest of management, because they're obviously pretty invested in him, and they have absolutely the worst track record when it comes to communication. So I didn't see the point. Instead, I punched a wall in the bathroom. Instead of breaking a hole through drywall, though, I wound up hitting a stud, and denting the drywall about a half inch deep. And I'm no doctor, but I've broken bones before, and I'm pretty positive I've got a fractured knuckle. In my dominant hand, no less. The knuckle looks slightly out of place, and it still hurts and is slightly swollen over 10 days later. I'd love to go see a doctor about it, but I don't get enough hours for benefits, and I've spent the last year supporting my girlfriend while she tries to find work that doesn't abuse her (and it took the entire year, because men are trash).
The next day, I put in my 2 weeks' notice. I didn't even have anything lined up. I still haven't found anything, but to be frank, I haven't been looking too hard.
Shit. I don't even have any friends IRL anymore because of this fucking job taking up all weekend nights. All my musician friends think I hate them or something.
I never want to work a dinner service again as long as I live.

So first thing: damn man, that sucks, sorry you've had to deal with this shit.
second thing: hey! we didn't talk much at all, but i was literally thinking about you (among other people) a night or two ago. I'm glad to hear you're still in the world, Patrick.

Well, the forum's spam protection just had a workout - the second-level check which comes in after the Turing test questions has blocked 56 attempts to make a new account in the last hour.

oof, Paul. Determined bot is determined.
Spent today hauling a cargo van-load of furniture. I have a bed now! well, once i finish dragging it all up the stairs and putting it together. But I'm looking forward to it, been sleeping on a pad on the floor for the last few years and bit weary of it.
course my out-of-shape, disabled body is a wee bit miffed at me right now, and tomorrow's probably just gonna be a fatigue haze, but fuckin' worth it.
