My hair dryer blew up on me yesterday, so I went to the high school with wet hair to try and work on as much as I could possibly accomplish. It wasn&#8217;t long before I was sent to the shop to help Bedo with hotspots. All the while, I had people begging me to tend to <em>their<\/em> problems. <em>Nothing<\/em> was working. <em>Everything<\/em> was broken. <em>I<\/em> was the only person that could fix any of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I tried to pick at a couple of my oldest work orders just to accomplish <em>anything at all<\/em>, but I&#8217;m sure that just made others even more upset with me for not picking <em>their<\/em> issues. I just couldn&#8217;t win with anyone. Even Luke got my number and had to text me, on top of an email he already sent me, on top of the work orders I had already received, on top of the in-person harassment I&#8217;d already received.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The hotspots weren&#8217;t cooperating either, and any time I got into anything at the shop, I&#8217;d get called away by someone else needing something. It truly felt like I was just the sole face of the department. When I finally felt like I had a win helping Bryan with something, even my own team aggressively shot me down with hostility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I finally left, late again, and utterly defeated. The girls had activities, so I had to pick them up. Autumn went to band, and Eaddie went to karate. Then I had to pick Eaddie up because Summer&#8217;s work meeting ran late.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The girls were going to stay the night, but ended up going home instead. I drank my dinner and cleaned more carpet. Zero wins today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>I think I&#8217;ll move to Australia.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today was easily the roughest day I&#8217;ve ever had at a job.
