After determining the cause of my heel pain (Achilles tendonitis), treated the cause of further heel pain (plantar faciitis), reduced the problems with my knee and started to work on my ankles, an old problem with neuromas has flared up again.

Walking hurts. My toes feel like they're going to explode whenever I try to walk.

I'm beyond fucked off at yet another set bsck.

Bargebill19 · 20/08/2021 02:35

Being on night shift, and having to do my own work plus the coming day shift work ‘by order of the management’. No please or thank you.
There’s one of me on nights and 6 of them on the day shift - to do exactly the same work load, only now they get to do less while I do more🤬

LoveFall · 20/08/2021 02:37

Ridiculous no reason for it joint pain. Related to my ulcerative colitis probably, but really not useful in the least.

Trying not to let it make me irritable with DH.

MorriseysGladioli · 20/08/2021 02:49

I feel like shit.
I look like shit.
I'm itchy and irritable and need to be up in three hours time for work.

HerRoyalNotness · 20/08/2021 02:52

Cat chirping at 4 bloody am to be let out. It’s normally 5.30am. The little wanker. Can they be trained not to? It all went downhill from there

Still being fat

This.

This is mostly why I'm fucked off.

Mrbob · 20/08/2021 03:12

Everything. I have worked 4 night shifts in the last 5 days and slept an average of about 4 hours. So literally someone breathing would do it Grin

DueyCheatemAndHow · 20/08/2021 03:22

FIL who has turned into an abusive alcoholic. DH wrote him the most heartfelt angle asking for some consideration and an apology and he was told to fuck off.

Annoyed doesn't really cover it. Heartbroken and livid are closer.

Chunkymenrock · 20/08/2021 03:25

Absolutely every wanktastic sodding thing. It's hard to fit my job in around my annoyances.

MollyBloomYes · 20/08/2021 04:05

Last day at current job after a fucker of a final year. Boss decided to tell me my new role would probably be up for tender next year and I'd have no job security. Apparently she was a fly on the wall in my interview and heard an entirely different answer to the exact question I asked about that (new job is permanent, absolutely no plans for restructuring, always a risk in my line of work but been assured won't even be a remote possibility for at least five years if not more which is excellent for what I do). Pretty much sums up the negativity and no filter she has. Oh and also told me I was wrong for every point I raised in my exit interview. No discussion, no exploration just 'No, that wasn't the case'. Utter waste of time.

Leaving card from the team I've worked with for nearly three years spelt my name wrong. It's really not a name that can be spelt wrong and it's IN MY EMAIL SIGNATURE THAT THEY SAW EVERY DAY. Tbh that one's just laughable rather than annoying. Attention to detail is important in our work 🙄😂

Definitely the right decision to leave!

Kijaji · 20/08/2021 04:32

Was supposed to be at work today, my boss is closing our company and I wanted to be there to say goodbye to everyone but my DH's boss won't let him have time off to have the kids (he's self employed with people working for him so doesn't need to be in) even after my DH said no he was having the day off his boss phoned mine and said he needed my DH at work so could I not be needed!! Already struggling with feeling like I'm not important to anyone at the moment and everyone just takes me for granted!

allthegoodusernameshavegone · 20/08/2021 04:42

The fact that I’m awake at 0441.

GrowThroughWhatYouGoThrough · 20/08/2021 05:18

I came home on my nigh shift break remembered to put the bin out and when I've gone to drive back to work I've reversed into the black bin and knocked it over so had to pick it all up which has annoyed me and the neighbours that I woke up 🙄 (there was twitching blinds)

torquewench · 20/08/2021 06:32

Cat #3 deliberately knocking things off my dressing table 2 hours ago then jumping on the bed and having a fuss, now snoring softly whilst I'm wide awake.

I'm pondering whether to get up and go for an early swim before work and annoying myself by trying to talk myself out of doing it at the same time.

Mydogisagentleman · 20/08/2021 06:57

The pain in my shoulder. Had a steroid injection on Wednesday, am taking anti inflammatory tablets, but it is agonising still.
I am going to see a physio in a couple of hours, fingers crossed that £48 will be a good investment.
And the flies, 2 in the kitchen and one in the living room. No swatter to be seen so I need to go into town to buy one

Sweetpeasaremadeofcheese · 20/08/2021 07:08

Toddler had me awake for the day at 2.30 am. And that's not really that early for us Sad

BigSandyBalls2015 · 20/08/2021 07:13

Going into the office for the first time in a long while ... and realising I can’t cope with the noise, the constant questions, the crowded train home. I thought I wanted to return but clearly not.

Bargebill19 · 20/08/2021 07:14

In the last hour at work. The warehouse men decided to play football with the toilets resulting in four blocked toilets and one yanked from the water supply.

Guess who had to isolate the water, mop up 100 gallons of water and attempt and fail to unblock four toilets? All whilst the stupid, idiotic, poor specimens of human males attempted to get past me to use the said broken toilets. Apparently the indoor sewage/swimming pool and three notices plus a security man didn’t give them any clue as to the fact the toilets were OUT OF ORDER. All because if their stupidity.

I totally lost the plot and shouted at the whole warehouse. I am small, fat, old and female. They were stunned.

They got the message to not use those toilets and go out to the porta loos instead. As per the instructions on three signs.

Sadly it is a regular occurrence.

Bargebill19 · 20/08/2021 07:16

I would have said. The toilets being vandalised is a regular occurrence, not me losing the plot. In my defence I’ve so far worked 98 hours over eight days and have another 3 days to go.

CupoTeap · 20/08/2021 07:24

Woke up to anxiety related chest pain and shortness of breath when I have a big day out planned with two other families. Just wanted a nice day and it feels ruined before it's began.

birdling · 20/08/2021 07:40

@Bargebill19
Sorry, I'm a bit confused. Football with the toilets? How does that work?
Sounds like you have every right to be pissed off, though.

Bargebill19 · 20/08/2021 07:53

@birdling. Sorry I was and am very cross with them. Apparently it’s a ‘good idea’ to kick the toilets and stand on them. Thank hey also block the toilets by playing with the toilets rolls and seeing who can aim them into the toilet bowls. They then defecate in them and flush the toilets. These are industrial sized toilet rolls not small home loo rolls. Football is the cleanest description I can think off. Tonight they managed to break the main inlet water pipe to the cisterns.

The result is an absolute stinking mess and they don’t see anything wrong about how they treat the workplace toilets.

Unfortunately it’s quite common in warehousing amongst the male employees. The females just refuse to flush the toilets at all. But at least the toilets stay intact and fixed !

Ozberry · 20/08/2021 07:57

Lazy teenagers. I’ve come down this morning to a massive pile of washing up that was supposed to be done last night.
I’m exhausted. I’m the only person working in this house (single mum) and they laze in bed all day while I’m out then stay up all night when I need to sleep. I’ve had enough.

torquewench · 20/08/2021 08:17

Bloody hell @bargebill19 are those actual full grown adults you're talking about here?
