Oh, bad day. · 3:56am June 20th
Didn't have a fun day at work. Got slammed with last-minute orders. Three people couldn't be bothered to come for their orders today, so they will likely be coming tomorrow instead. Two people from yesterday either didn't get all of their stuff or didn't come for their stuff - one I was able to reach, but they never came (they have until tomorrow evening), the other claims that they tried to reach us several times and ended up coming to the store and buying everything in their order directly, so their stuff got cancelled. And because the previous evening's closer can never be bothered to put things back, there was a massive amount of crap piled up to be dealt with, increased by not only the mentioned cancelled order, but a second order from yesterday that was cancelled. Now in the past, I was told to just move some of the stuff and let others handle it. Tonight, I tried to do the same, but was told that was no longer an option. But rather than the person telling me doing so in a polite manner, they shouted at me from several yards away and made me feel like a failure and a retard in the process.
Oh, and my account with Twitter/X is apparently suspended. Permanently. And no one is getting back to me about appeals.
Is it wrong for me to wish I didn't feel like shit? Is it wrong for me to want a little respect and decency from my fellow human beings? As it is, it's increasingly difficult for me to feel like I have any value as a person, or that I actually matter in any way. I don't feel appreciated at my job, I can't accomplish anything for myself, and my efforts to improve my situation have had no real success.
What's a guy to do?
Jesus. It's one goddamn thing after another.
My answer is basically, "Keep going and don't give up, because every day you're still alive and going is a triumph over the assholes and the idiots." Maybe it's more vengeful than hopeful, but hell, it's better than nothing.
More to the point though... you hang in there, Echo. I wish to God I could do more to help than just offer my sympathies, and the reminder that you have friends here who care about you, but there you have it.

You're right, that answer is better than nothing. And I do appreciate the support, and the sympathy.
