I got ghosted at work by a coworker??

#me last thursday: hey so I checked with my next project assignment and they actually have to delay my monday start date due to [reasons].#when I interviewed with you for this project you said you’d wanna keep me longer than 2/20 if this exact thing happened.#is that still the case? no worries if you don’t have the budget but I’d be happy to stay on longer if you do. I have plenty to work on.#project manager: sure let me check. me: great!#*the next day* *which is friday and thus my last day on this project*#me: hey just checking in. were you able to extend my assignment?#project manager: I don’t think I have the budget but we do wanna keep you. were you billing your time to [code]?#me: yes and I can see that I still have 8 more hours I could bill on monday. can I stay on at least through then?#project manager: one sec #*six hours pass* *it is now 4PM on friday*#me: hey so I just wanted to touch base on this one more time. were you able to determine if I can stay on through monday/longer?#because if not I need to put some knowledge transfer together for my replacement. (also I just wanna know who I’m reporting to on monday??*#project manager: *crickets*#*I log on monday morning not knowing if I still have a project or not*#*also I have a cold and if I can’t get billable time today I’m just gonna take a sick day*#*also also I’m still on meeting invites and in the project slack channel so I have no reason to believe I’ve been taken off*#me (making a hail mary attempt to get some kind of closure*: sorry to keep bugging you about this. do you want me to stay on for today?#if I don’t hear from you by 9:30 (when our standup meeting is) I will assume my time with the project concluded on friday #(because I’m not going to a 45-minute meeting I can’t bill for)#project manager: *literally never responds*#and it’s not like she’s been on PTO or anything! she’s been here!#when I sent the last couple of messages I could see her slack icon was green!#and I’d understand if I were asking someone who didn’t know anything but staffing of the project is quite literally her job #I would also totally get it if she needed to reach out to someone else for approval of an extension or whatever #but I think if you’re doing that and it takes a while you can at least tell me that??#like girl how did you get this far in this career if this is your idea of professional communication #I feel like I’m going crazy

a really fun thing about being on half my usual testosterone dose in gel form specifically is that it makes me feel like I'm right about to start my period but without ever actually starting my period. thrill a minute

#book's life #once again. problems with my prescription #THIS TIME NOT REMOTELY MY FAULT #I CALLED them. TWICE. two weeks and one week ago #got answering machine #left message #nothing #called yesterday to get the clinic hours #regular surgery receptionist had no idea but gave me the email #sent an email and am going to call tomorrow and Thurs and Friday until I get a GOD DAMN PRESCRIPTION and some FUCKING ANSWERS #I think the problem is usually when they discharge people to the gp #they're on nebido (if testosterone)#not gel #so no one made the procedure. at all clear #but they also won't ANSWER MY CALLS or GIVE ME A CALLBACK #I got hold of the doctor one time before this for a different incident #that was a Friday I think #so I'll hope for a Friday call to have some success #but GRRRRRRR #until then I have to suffer #I've started taking my backup progesterone supply as reassurance I won't get a period #but I can physically FEEL it wearing off around like............3 hours before I take it #I am going to get not ONLY a fucking prescription. but ANSWERS #DOCTOR LITERALLY TOLD ME TO CALL IF I HAD QUESTIONS #I AM NOT TRANSGRESSING. I AM NOT EVIL. ARRGGHHHHHHH

sent a pretty important message to someone i’ve wanted to talk to for a while about the issues with the way they interact with me and how they make me feel and it took about 3 hrs to write in a way i felt ok to send. felt so sick and haven’t been able to chill out so unsent it 2.5 hrs later. it’s the middle of the night so they didn’t see it before i deleted it. idk what to do, it’s an important conversation to have but it’s TOO important for me to fuck it up. but for now i guess i can relax a bit and cry myself to sleep or something idk

#very much not about anyone here lmao. you can see when someone has unaent a message so don’t worry #idk if i’ll be able to work up the courage to send it again tbh #i wish i’d just sent it and been able to fall asleep before getting this stressed about it #tried taking some ativan but it didn’t calm me down enough so now i’ve gotta deal with that #horrible drug. makes me drowsy for days after 0.2mg #so now i get to feel terrible all weekend as well as tonight.#kinda feel like i deserve it. but do deserve it for sending the message in the first place or for deleting it?#god idk. i guess i’ll see how they respond to me unsending it. other context indicates it was something important #i’m angry at myself for unsending it but also that’s the most i’ve wanted to sh in a long time so probably for the best #oh fuck dad’s gonna be out all day so the dogs will be barking and demanding my attention all day i can’t deal with that while i’m drowsy #idk at least i don’t have to deal with the fallout from that message as well #hrmmmm and it’s related to something my psychologist wants to talk about next time i see her #which is probably one of my biggest issues. likely my biggest issue for relating to people #i’m isolated enough these days that i kinda forget i’m traumatised from that stuff. but man i don’t wanna talk about ipv #but it’s still 12 days until i see her. i can’t delay sending this message long enough to talk to her first #god i need to stop thinking about this rn. tempted to take more ativan because it’s gonna ruin the next few days regardless #no i shouldn’t make it harder to manage the dogs #sorry this is all a bit weird to talk about i just need to get some of it out #because i’ve literally been stressing about this for more than 6 hours straight. like this has ruined my entire night #whatever. goodnight. i should feel better if i can get some sleep even if im drowsy #usually i read my tags back before posting things but i can’t so you get whatever that was #personal

When I was a kid in elementary school, they would show us internet-safety training videos about how to protect our identities and be wary of scammers.

Now that I'm in my 20's all I can think is that they should give out these vhs tapes to anyone over the age of 50 who buys a smart phone for the first time or uses any social media. The amount of times I see boomer ladies get scammed on Facebook ads and fake shopping sites and scammy UPS and Bank text messages is fucking insane.

#Talked to this stranger for like an hour yesterday #Very funny lady. very talkative she was nice as pie and told me about her life and her grown children and her grandbaby #Literally every MINUTE she was getting an incoming scam text on her iPhone and didn't have the slightest clue what it was or if it was legi #or why she was getting them or how to REPORT them 🫠#Oh my god she was so sweet but holy shit some of these boomers have NO internet survival instincts #they could see the scammiest neon-colored banners and ''WIN BIG'' and ''CONGRATULATIONS! YOU WON!'' painted on their eyelids #and still be like ''oh that's nice. where do i sign up? why are you asking for money? i thought you were from the government?''#Like. MA'AM 😭😭😭 People on the internet. Can. Tell. LIES.#This lady talking about how her husband blows money on a click-to-get-paid app and how she heard Kirk's death was an inside job 🤦‍♀️#as I helped her tweak her iphone settings to Filter out unknown texts and showed her how to discern scam texts/links from real ones #me sitting in the shop explaining to this nice lady that if a text message CLAIMS it's from Paypal #but the link they send is some shit like '''xyz.shdjfkf.info'' then... that is NOT Paypal!#Those internet safety tapes were WASTED on us as kids 😭 Give them to the boomers for the love of god!!#Somebody teach the boomers how to identify fake shopping sites!!#Someone tell them not to trust every Instagram and Facebook ad! Not to click ''okay'' on shit without reading!!#Not to buy subscriptions when the website is a 10 minute video on ''For the secret to saving 10000 dollars just buy my book for 19.99!!!''#Not to enter their goddamn credit card info and personal details into any old website that promises something!#Went over this w my mom when she's tried to buy clothes on a fake website from a ''so sad! BStore is closing! Big sale!'' scam FaceBook ad #FUCK Parental controls. These people need PARENT controls!! Where are their children?? Why is nobody educating them???#anya rambles #boomers #gen z #internet safety #ramble #take care of your elders folks

wish i could give you a hug about your migraines and medication struggles. you deserve to be cared about accommodated

thank you <3 to be clear so far i haven't encountered anyone who's been uncaring or unaccommodating about it. i'm mostly just frustrated at...not necessarily myself, i guess, but at the mere fact of experiencing new existential challenges in my daily life. it's hard and scary to admit that i'm struggling, it's hard to ask for help, and it's hard to do so with the knowledge that most people have very little real way to help other than going "that's rough, buddy"

#sasha answers #anon #'existential challenges' ie namely coming to realize that my migraines are a bigger problem for me than i thought #and that my most recent medication adjustment in the effort of preventing migraines is causing different (arguably more pressing) problems #by making me. just. so tired. like not the usual 'in grad school and working 2 jobs and playing oboe' tired that i'm used to #but 'slept in til almost noon; got groceries; and felt like i needed to take a nap immediately after' tired.#'weeks behind on assigned readings' tired. 'turned in an assignment days late' tired #and beyond just being drowsy and physically exhausted i'm not thinking as quick as i usual am.#i don't think i've understood what brain fog really felt like til now but i really feel like i'm just. out of focus now #like realizing you need to wear glasses suddenly. although i've been wearing literal glasses for a decade and a half by now lol #anyway. i appreciate your care #this is all quite new to me. and i suspect a product of my most recent medication adjustment #since my symptoms line up with the common side effects and reported anecdotal experiences of other users of this particular med #i messaged my doctor about it for advice. so hopefully i can do something about it soon #and re: 'most people can't help' i mean to say that i live alone and have to like cook and clean and take care of myself alone #and the world outside of my brain is also experiencing some crazy bull shit that's just added stressors for myself and everyone else #from my university going through. some stuff. and the country. Also Going Through Some Stuff Right Now #it's a lot. and even if a professor says 'this assignment doesn't have a hard deadline' or a coworker offers to cover a couple hours for me #well it's appreciated surely but there's a lot more going on that they can't control y'know #anyway. tmi again #i'm going to heat up some more food for myself and try to get to bed early #i probably won't get to the assignments i wanted to work on tonight. but so it goes

i love being the birthday girl but i do not love all the admin

#me on my own facebook wall: someone is going to get mad at me. for some reason.#like it is very nice to get all these messages from people who love me!#replying to them takes me literally hours. for no reason. and then some ppl shit on me about it like it isnt literally My Birthday #anyway being a human being is endless bureaucracy it's fine #momo talks

good morning luvtuals 🫶🏻 i’m gonna do a rant about last night in the tags. just a warning

#so yesterday my friend who i haven’t seen for months messaged me asking to hang out #he’s usually a really hermit and doesn’t like going out or having company or anything #so he was begging me to go to his house and i said no bevause i didn’t feel like drinking #and he was like what if i just come to yours #and i agreed cos i was like yeah why not then at least i get my bed after sk i’m happy BJT THEN #he comes over. it starts off good we are vibing we play some of those old kpop games on yt #and then i very passionately began talking about s’ho solo album and he out of nowhere was like #he was like man i really wanna kiss u rn #and i was just like….. nah but anyways let’s listen to this song #and then several hours go by and he’s getting annohilated like he’s like screaming and shit #then i picked up his phone for him cos he asked me to and i’m being so fr his home screen was an andrew tate quote #and i was like hmmm that’s sus #and then he started gettin really intense out of nowhere and LITERALLY FUCKJGKG STRANGLED ME THEN LEFT #i was like Huh?? HUH!!!!! like he got so mad at me cos i said i didn’t want him to take a $70 taxi home and that he could sleep in my spare #room and then he fr got livid and started trying to choke me out 😭😭😭😭

its indeed getting worse not better i should log off

#i have so much shit i have to do its laughable #ok before i go heres the plan #rn: take shot. take meds. lay down. go to sleep #then: wake up. text work gc. text el. do some of the easy photos? do essay (bullshitting it should make it doable in an hour and a half)#wait before photos do laundry #ok then idk. if no one messages back about work by sun morning i will email my boss who give a shit #ok then do the more difficult photos on sunday then people over? fuck i need to tell people to come over #i literally didnt even tell anybody because i forgot #really smart . ok. ill deal with that tomorrow also i guess #then monday i need to make sure all those things are put in the fucking uh. box folder. for my group project. the biblio #i need to wake up at like 8am on monday and edit my pictures and then do the box folder . its less urgent #editing pictures is necessary bc i have to fucking present them at 2
