Let's all sit down and talk about our day, good or bad.

My day is freaking great! Worked my butt off to finish four German papers but I did it. I finished an English paper two days before the deadline. We ended up getting a work day in class and I played on my computer for an hour and a half. Made two new friends today and they are awesome! So, it was a pretty good day despite the fact that I won't be going camping due to Indiana weather.

I have had the most frustrating experience to date with my new job:

I'm in the process of the background check but for every hurdle I overcome, I find one that just has it out for me. The latest and greatest is I'm of the age where I was right on the edge of getting the chicken pox vaccine in my childhood vaccinations (re: born before the vaccine was in the US) and I never received the second that I need for my job because at the time, I didn't need a second vaccination.

So now I have to prove immunity or pay up to $141 American out of pocket and I don't have that kind of money at my disposal. I'm going for the test for immunity tomorrow and I have this inkling of an idea that I'm going to fail it just because that's been my luck for this. Parents can't really help, I asked and it's not fair to them. Then there's the added debate of if the vaccine is effective in an adult.

I could cry. x___x; I'm so frustrated and I haven't even started the job yet.

Wow. I'm so sorry. That honestly sounds terrible. That job better be worth it though. You'll do fine. I'm sure of it.

So far my day has been okay I guess. My English lesson was a comedy show but that's nothing news but apart from that and the cold weather it could be worse.

The day's going okay. I slept in waaaay too late, lol, so I didn't get as much done as I wanted before I had to go to work. So now I'm sitting here at work, thinking about all the things at home that I need to get done before tomorrow night when I leave for DC (going to the Climate March). I have to finish sewing a couple of patches on my bag, paint Michigan on the sleeve of the Sea Shepherd t-shirt I'm wearing, figure out which shorts I should wear, pack my day pack, get my first aid kit ready, put together a bag for the bus with a blanket and pillow, make sure my extra phone battery is charged (and the cord is with it), get my important stuff into my waist pack (money, id, metro card), and probably some things I can't think of right now. Tomorrow I have to get my hair done (double french braids that I'm putting sunflowers, the symbol of environmentalism, in) and make sure my car has enough gas/fluids to make the drive to where the bus is, and make a final itinerary check. I've never done anything like this on my own before, so I really hope I don't fuck it up for myself or anyone else.

My day has been pretty bland, and with the month I've had, I hope it stays that way. April has been total hell and can only hope that things start to look up soon.

My day was good actually -- especially after yesterday in which a dog had explosive diarrhea in my vehicle, needless to say I was less than impressed.

All my dogs (I'm a dog walker) were good and well-behaved, albeit a bit rowdy, but I like it when they can all play together haha! Finished up at where I was house-sitting and got everything clean and tidy and ready for the owners to come home. Went out for dinner with my brother, and am now relaxing and getting ready for bed.

I really need to vent on my morning. Last night I stayed up with my dog, trying so hard to get him to sleep so my mom wouldn't have another sleepless night. My dog kept me up for five hours and I felt like I was going insane. I called my boyfriend crying because my dog was keeping me up and he was drooling all over my bed. I finally walked my dog and decided to put him in his kennel so I could get some sleep. Keep in mind, this is probably at one in the morning. He was quiet the rest of the night so I fell asleep.

My mom wakes me up the next morning at about six telling me to go look at my dog's kennel. There is pee and poop and vomit all in his kennel. My dog did all of that last night. The worst part is that my parents decided to blame me for it, which I took the blame, so I had to clean it up while my mom washed my dog. The whole time I'm cleaning, my asshole of a stepdad is standing over me telling me that "This isn't an easy job" and "How would you like to do this for a whole week". For him, it was gang up on me time.

In the car ride to my grandparents, my mom didn't even acknowledge my existence. She was more focused on that I apologize for calling her heartless the previous day. I had called her and my stepdad heartless because my dog was acting strange and both of them had given up on taking care of him. Both of them felt that putting him to sleep was the way out, even though the vet has given us two options to fix our problem. But I digress, my mom was more focused on proving a point rather than the state of our dog or the state of mind of her daughter. She kept bringing it up after I was forced to apologize for what I said.

I admit that calling her heartless was a bit too far but I was hurt and wasn't thinking straight. But, I feel that they have no right to continue dogging me over something that I had no control over. I'm about to cry as I'm typing this, I need help.

My fucking chickens have fucking bird lice and I am about 99% certain that the lady who sold them to me KNEW it and sold them to me so she wouldn't have to deal with it.

I AM EXTREMELY UNHAPPY ABOUT THIS

I can't afford more shit to fix, seriously. My assistance dog died earlier this month. My husband lost his job 2 weeks later. I have enough on my plate without dealing with an infestation of BIRD LICE all over my chickens.

Well, my dog had to be put down. We didn't want to see him suffer anymore so we had to let him go. He's in a better place now, one where he won't get sick or feel pain ever again. It was a hard thing for me to do and my parents. We just feel better knowing that he's better now.

I got to see my dad, though. My dad was diagnosed with leukemia and we're starting to spend more time with each other. Although, he picked the wrong day to explain to me the severity of what he has. He was telling me that he needs a bone marrow transplant and without it there is a chance of 40% remission instead of 80% with it. He already thinks that he's not going to get a transplant which pisses me off. His blood type is B+ and it's a very uncommon blood type and since he was adopted, we don't know of any relatives being a match. I can't help because apparently a sibling has to be a perfect match. I wish I could help, but I know there is nothing I can do except be there for him.

I just wish I could take a break from life. I'm about to graduate high school and move on to college and I really don't need this added stress. I wish the world would let me take a break for about an eternity.

As I don't know where to go with my issues right at the moment, I'm glad that this thread exists..

My day (or better the whole fu**ing weekend since friday) was the absolute horror! My working contract was terminated due to the bad present state of the economy (but I highly believe, that is just a lie), I found out, that my lovely boyfriend never meant to marry me, that he was stalking and controlling my very moves, my mobile and started telling me, who I can see and who not... We applied for a bigger flat (my absolute dream flat) and now I'm not able to get it, as it is too expensive for just me alone... I could cry for hours, without any use

Right now, I don't know what to do to be honest... I would love to just leave everything and everybody und leave this country.. I mean I do have relatives in Australia and good friends in France... I could just pack my stuff and leave..

Today has been so hit or miss for me already. I'm down in Virginia visiting my dad who I do NOT get to see enough but my roommate tagged along so I'm not really able to spend any time with him? In about an hour I'm supposed to leave with my dad for a volunteer job we do and she is pitching a fit because she will be left at the house alone. I'm leaving her my truck (honestly not sure I totally trust her driving my monster) and she is 22 years old I don't know why leaving her alone for a few hours while I go do work with my dad is an issue? I come down to visit him maybe three times a year if I am lucky, I told her it would be like this I wanna spend as much time with my dad as I can but she insisted on coming with me only to complain 90% of the time. I'm so excited to be hanging out with my dad but kinda draining when I get constant reminders from my roommate that she is having a bad time.

I've had English lessons again today and, as always, it was just torture. First we wrote some sort of short test and after the teacher collected my paper she started to go through it and seriously began to GOOGLE MY ANSWERS. Hello? You studied English, you should know better than I do. I wasn't sure if I felt like laughing or crying when I saw it... To top it we had to play theater afterwards. Just what I needed, playing a grandma in hospital babbling about her cat and groceries. shoots self with a banana

Yay :D any plans for the extra cash next month?

I'm conflicted, myself. I got the news yesterday that I was accepted for the position I applied for a month or so back, which means I'll be receiving a bit of a payraise. Timely, considering my girlfriend is still unemployed. (We're okay most of the time, but any big expenses set off my anxiety to an extreme degree.)

So that's good! Except... I am so afraid of the position. I'll be required to drive a bookmobile, and I'm terrified of what happens if I fuck up or can't learn. I love my current branch, I love my coworkers, I absolutely adore my branch manager here - she's like a punk rock mom, a great role model, and so fun to work with. The new position requires me to move back to the main branch, where I was miserable working less than a year ago. I look forward to seeing my old coworkers again on the regular, but I hate being in that building where admin can breathe down my neck!

We need the money, though, so I couldn't turn it down... Almost $2 more an hour is nothing to turn your nose up at. I should be excited, but I'm terrified.

Hubby lost his job last month, so unfortunately, anything "extra" will go towards playing catch-up. :(

You're gonna do just fine at the new job! Congrats!

Today is pretty good! Found out I wasn't pregnant so that is great! I saw a dog that reminded me of my dog that had passed but I handled it well. My parents still hate my boyfriend as you could tell from my first statement but we're going to take things slow now.

One thing that keeps upsetting me though is my dad. I'm trying to spend more time with him because he has leukemia but it's like he doesn't want to be around me. Last time I was with him we got a new game for his Xbox and he didn't even want to play it with me. For the next two hours he watched me play his various games because I was bored out of my skull. I confronted him about it and he thought that that was spending time with me, him watching me while I do my own thing. Really dad, really.

Recently I've been trying to get together with him and this entire week he has cancelled on me. I told him that I'd come see him on Tuesday, he cancelled on me to go up to the clinic to discuss possible bone marrow donors, which I can understand. He cancelled on me today because apparently he has stuff to do, the man sits on his butt all day texting me, what could he possibly have to do! If he cancels on me tomorrow I don't know what to do.

That's what's been on my mind recently. Still recovering from the whole pregnancy scare which drained the life out of me. I hope I never have to go through that ever again. It feels a lot better to get this all out!
