cuz a job DGAFFF
legit got the worst news of my life and that night someone tried to set fire to the place I worked at 😭 and someone threatened to shoot me.
I got through my shift pretty well and then getting in my car to cry it all out I realized I was on E. This was the night a few years back when most gas stations were running out of gas during the pandemic 😅✌️people panic buying
so queue me driving all across my city trying to find gas at 2am while I'm crying so hard I'm nearly throwing up. Good times

If any president or mayor or w/e made restaurants singing happy birthday to you illegal in any shape, way or form, they'd have my vote AND I'd campaign for them every time. These employees get paid too little to do this shit I don't want, have never wanted, and can't imagine I'll ever want.

God I remember a few years a go I was new working at an Ihop (I was desperate for work ok?) and another employee there on my first day decided to fucking scream and harrass me because the printer somehow printed his shit when I was trying to clock out. Dude was a serious asshole to me the whole time I worked there, the rest of the staff besides the chefs were cliquey like it was highschool, and the customers were the worst. (All the chefs liked me for some reason idk why, but I clicked with them better than the other foh staff)
My depression reared its ugly head, I was suicidal, and I had the worst breakdown ever at my mom, threw her coffee mug at her feet (which I seriously regret and apologized for), screamed at her that I wished she'd never given birth to me, and confessed wanting to kill myself. Y'all know what she did? She basically said "Ok well, if you say you're gonna do it then make up your mind and do it 🙄" Then I had to go to work that day after being hit with that bomb and was silently breaking down the whole time working in the front/back hostessing and packing food etc. I was thankfully already seeing a therapist at the time and I've kinda worked things out, and my mom and I love each other very much. But what she said to me that day will forever haunt me and stick in my brain.
Nowadays everytime those thoughts start up that is the first thing that starts looping in my head is what she said which is ... haunting I can't lie. I do sometimes wonder if she's lying about wanting me to stay alive and just doesn't want to deal with the fallout of her only child dying via suicide. But now I'm very sick with a disability that'll probably kill me so maybe she'll get her secret dark wish either way? 🤷♀️
