* sad *

Well i guess some things are troubling me now that i've thought about it a little. My grandmother has cancer and has been given 6mo-2yrs to live. My bills are too high since I lost my $15/hr job and now have a $10/hr job and I'm looking at the end of living in my apartment I've been at the past 6 years and will likely have to move almost two hours away from the town i've lived in for over a decade. This would just be a fact of life kind of thing i suppose, if I didn't find out it's likely a friend of mine put my former boss up to hiring me in the first place 6 years ago. Was the last 6 years just a pity party? A ploy to teach me a lesson? I spent all that time wondering why I was there, and being angry that I couldn't figure out why i couldn't fit in, because it didn't make sense. Now I am pretty sure a friend put my boss up to having me there. Wtf am I supposed to think about that??? I'm trying hard not to find that really super ******fucked up.

It probably came from a place of good intentions, but how can you manipulate someone for 6 years like that and think they're going to just stay oblivious? The thing is, I asked my friend early on if they knew each other. My job there, looking back, didn't make a lot of sense.

So people are getting sick around me, I have no power to take care of myself much less help with other issues like family getting sick and dying around me, and life generally just sucks right now when your friends try to trick you or go behind your back.

Additionally I've been diagnosed schizo-affective disorder and don't even know where to begin with that. i have no health benefits any longer and wasn't pursuing treatment for that even when i did. i feel like i'm still figuring out what that is and the best direction to go, but have no money or benefits to do anything about it when i do.

Nothing seems to be working for me having tried over ten years now to find some kind of stability in life. i realize now it's just not going to happen. i am clearly not in control of my life at all. Other people are, but not me, not of my life, they for some ******fucked up reason get that privileged. Because I didn't decide to hire me having an ulterior motive, or fire me because i didn't get what i wanted out of me after i did. Or lie to me to set it up.

The fact is I may not be schizo anything at all. I was just sensing the INCREDIBLE AMOUNT OF BULLSHIT around me. That job for the last six years was a *******fucking lie. I wasted six years of my life on a lie. And for what? Nothing to end up working out for me anyway? I guess I'm a lot more than a little mad at everything right now.

Everyone should read this article from Field & Stream magazine, whether you've experienced depression or not.

Did you write it? Are you affiliated in any way with the writer or the mag? What exactly is it that you're getting out of this? ;)

It eases the boss's mind when he or she becomes convinced that YOU also have the best interests of the enterprise at heart, when your loyalty to the boss and the enterprise are assured . . . when the boss is convinced that you are someone who cares and can be counted on--and are not just somebody looking for a paycheck.

That's fair. But I am there for the paycheck. That's why we all work. Because they pay me they have my loyalty as an employee. That's the trade. That's the Employer/Employee agreement. It's the deal we made when they hired me.

Most of the time, I don't usually express interest in future goals somewhere if I can't care about it. If I entered management with this company and hypothetically managed a store, it would be My store and I would take it personally. I don't understand why it's so hard for people to believe. Constantly having to prove the same thing over and over again becomes frustrating and is easily misconstrued as pointless games. I don't have time for it. There's a future to manage. I've really been waiting on them and I don't understand why people don't pull the trigger. I have the credentials to be hired directly into management. It's a benefit of mine to learn it from the bottom up. But already somewhere there's something going wrong. A problem with communication maybe. Whatever it is, it's getting in the way.

There's no reason that I can see why this shouldn't be going well. But apparently it isn't.
