Penti, forgive my ignorance, I believe it happened during one of my famous hiatus, but how did you end up leaving your hospital job?

Nichi · July 14, 2014, 10:25:09 AM

It's alright. As for how it happened, info in the spoiler:

Why I'm at Hut of Pizza: Show

Jumping back to 2011, shortly before I returned to OSC, my original boss at the hospital (Whom I greatly liked; he was a cool guy) was fired over some bullshit, and was replaced with this guy that seemed to hate me from the instant he laid eyes on me...or so it seemed. Apparently, he did like me, but because my mom was in the same department, and she did not like him in the least, he decided to take it out on me and make my life hell. I put up with that for a year following that; putting up with hour cuts and schedule shifts.

In early 2012, after successfully having dad reason with mom about it, I was able to book my flight and take a trip up north to visit Kari. So, I put in the paperwork to have that week off; which might have had some leverage in the hospital's decision to get rid of me. Come April 2012, just a few days after my birthday no less, my boss had me fired over some bullshit reasoning (That I didn't get the beds out of the hallways...nevermind the soiled utility rooms were packed to complicity and the nurses needed these IV pumps stat. Also, my sister's father-in-law stopping me to make me watch some music video he had on his Zune* didn't help matters much >_>; ).
*Yes, he owns a Zune. He's probably the only person on the planet to like that thing

However, the HR rep had known about the whole story with the troubles I faced with my boss, so after he left the room, she went in and changed the info on me to say "laid off due to budget cuts", so I could come back if I ever wanted to. Thus, I began to collect unemployment and began job hunting; taking it more seriously after my vacation.

It was a special kind of hell; nobody seemed to want to hire me, mom was constantly badgering me about how I'm "not trying hard enough" to get a job, and I was slowly starting to go crazy from the stress. It finally got down to the point that I had to have a job by the end of the year or else I'd lose my unemployment, so I began putting out applications at McDonald's in a vein effort to get anything...and that's when bro-in-law stepped in; getting me on at Pizza Hut in November 2012. I've been there since, through good and bad.

I did briefly work for Gamestop from October 2013 to March 2014; ended up leaving there after my boss was fired and every last one of my coworkers walked out, on top of many of our customers boycotting the store over this and taking their business down the street to Game-X-Change. It felt like a sinking ship, so I bailed out quickly; haven't set foot in the store since I picked up my final paycheck.

EDIT: So, my plans to stay on at Pizza Hut while in school might be fucked. Bro-in-law, whom is the major push for me not getting fired, is considering quitting. Yaaaaaaaaaaay; that means I'd have nothing to keep me from getting fired at Pizza Hut, meaning I'll be stuck at Wal-Mart through Black Friday unless the hospital is able to get me out of there. I have to wonder if this is just my sister trying to fuck me over under the guise of "helping", since IDK if bro-in-law even has another job lined up yet.

Honestly, going to school might be a mistake if I end up stuck at Hell-Mart; there's no way I can actually learn anything when I'm also juggling an 8+ hour slave job that always leaves me drained physically, mentally, and emotionally by the time I head home.

why the hell would she try to screw you over!? goddamn, your sister never seemed like the manipulative bitch type but i guess you never really know a person....

good to hear from you, guys. i'm currently at a laundromat in gardner, mass.

weekend: spend time cleaning/unpacking, chat with mum about getting psych appointment postponed so i can stay to help a little longer. get info on various isps in area, forced to wait till monday to call them. get chemical burns on hands/possibly feet/possibly lungs from overusing bleach cleaner in bathroom.

monday: wake up early, breakfast and anime until we leave at 11. go to fitchburg hospital, have ben make some calls while i hang out. go down to gardner to hit up salvation army for some stuff (another pan, some bowls, etc). i end up purchasing a plastic tupperware container and a beatrix potter pop up book. go down street to laundromat while ben waits in car to argue with car company that sold him the lemon car. leave off here, idk what we're doing next.

glad to see everyone is (mostly) well. there'll be a new review tomorrow on the blog (i forgot i preprogrammed one ^^; ). likely going to stay here till monday night.

TBH I easily get paranoid and think everyone is actively conspiring against me, when something happens that conveniently lines up with what they want me to do. I mean, I still wonder if my mom really did intricately plan out how to ruin my life :\

So, currently planning to get a car, then get the fuck out of Wal-Mart and to one of the hospitals in Tyler, and then begin focusing on school.

Chocofreak13 · July 14, 2014, 01:40:42 PM

*hug* hope it works out alright. :[

Nichi · July 14, 2014, 01:43:34 PM

Thanks. I hope things work out on your end, as well
*hug*

@Cockle: Seconding Nej on this

So, I was feeling a bit depressed this morning...then I had tacos. Tacos make me happy -w-

LeaflameSD · July 16, 2014, 01:10:30 PM

I'm going to fat camp.

Chocofreak13 · July 16, 2014, 01:39:34 PM

@leaf: fo shizz? But you're not even that big.
@cockle: DYING IS NOT ALLOWED HERE
plz be okay ;^;

checking in from stolen WiFi in an apartment/public park parking lot in Gardner, ma. Things are smoothing out a little but we're not completely good yet. On the upside I can leave next week knowing things will be okay. Not nearly perfect(or even decent) but at least okay.

Nichi · July 16, 2014, 01:52:15 PM

Good to know you'll be back soon enough; I miss you ;_;

Bella · July 16, 2014, 04:14:32 PM

DON'T DIE EVERYONE AND EVERYONE'S LOVED ONES.
(Seriously though Cockle, glad to hear your GF's fine. I can't even imagine how stressful something like that must be.)

Also, Kari, I second Pent's emotion. I miss you, but I'm glad to hear you're taking care of business and will be back online soon.

@Leaf: Seconding Kari here. I didn't even know those were still a thing tbh. Anyway I hope it goes okay!

LeaflameSD · July 16, 2014, 04:25:35 PM

@Kari: Fo shizzle... I believe I'm going on the 27th. And trust me, you do NOT want to know how much I weigh.
@Bella: Thanks for the support ^^

NejinOniwa · July 16, 2014, 06:22:02 PM

Not to be mean, but in general the optimal weight for a healthy person is their length in centimeters -100 in kilograms, give or take depending on how much muscle you have (for reference I'm 186cm/79kg because I don't build a lot of muscle). If you're overweight and have a large amount of body fat, chances are you're running a bad diet and exercising insufficiently. Curb the carbs and get training, and keep at it.

Nothing good comes of being overweight. You get a bigger body which makes you eat more which costs more money which makes you eat less quality food which makes you get even bigger and so on. Add the bajillion different health risks and you have the whole cue.

Stay strong, and remember that obesity is a lot more fun when you're out of it :^)
