What ruined your day?

Probably? Im not sure it how it would work in my situation since technically I agreed to this arrangement. It began when our second floor cleaner just disappeared one day, so I agreed to take on the other two days, assuming they would hire someone else. But nobody wants to work a 5 am shift two days a week so they never hired anyone else.

I don’t think “agreeing to it” would exempt you from the protections of labor law. Otherwise any employer could get around the law by coercing their employees to agree to work every day of the week.

Pulled a muscle in my back lifting furniture...

Sorry to hear that sir. I hope work can give you time off to recover. I recommend a hot shower and using arnica in the place you pulled. I hope it isn't too bad,

Thank you for the reply! It's not that bad but my job did give me a week to work from home and see what happens so for that I am grateful.

I currently have both a heating pad and ice pack for my back. I am hopeful that by the end of this week I should be well enough.

Saw a video of a man die. In a particularly gruesome way.

Spoiler:

He was run over by a BUS. It was not pretty.

Oh wow, that's dark, how did you even see the video of him getting killed?

Oh, Reddit, thanks for telling me, but I don't even know if I have the guts to watch it.

^Yeah lets drop this conversation. I'm sorry you had to watch something unforunate, but please do not encourage or share how to watch it with others.

Added in 2 hours 22 minutes 33 seconds:
I'm not ruined, but I'm embarassed. I submitted a short story of mine to a literary publication a few weeks ago, and never got a response. The story was decent (don't all writers think their own stuff is decent), but I realized that I didn't follow any of the submission guidelines. This was my first time sending out a manuscript, so I wasn't even aware that there's a proper format. I'm embarassed for not following proper instructions.

I just searched through about six publications and how to submit and I have a better idea of how to do it. I read a bunch of things about proper manuscript format, ettiquette, what various publications want etc... I also read a bunch of stuff of explicitly what some places don't want, and thankfully none of the publications really fall under that.

I guess this is a learning experience. So it should be okay to redo, and resubmit to another seperate publication. To be clear I'm not doing simultanous submissions, but I'm not even sure if the story was even considered because I messed up the submission.

Ah well.

Got a large amount of hair product in both my eyes while I was showering. The pain was immense and you can bet my eyes were red as hell. It looks like I’ve done the hardest-hitting pot on Earth. But no, not as epic. A bunch of shampoo in my eyes.

That sounds gnarly! I hope you're okay!

First world problems, but still annoying: DoorDash delivered my lunch 30 minutes before I had scheduled it, aka, while I was at work still, AND they forgot my fried cheese curds. And since I was in such a rush to get home and get my food I ended up leaving the store I work at without buying the shit I needed to get.

It’s been a week since it started, and there’s still an air quality alert around here due to a fire in Nakia Creek that’s still going on. Said air quality alert is supposed to last until Thursday at 6:00 P.M. when real Autumn weather finally sets in and it starts raining.

The climate crisis and those rich fuckwads who created it suck ass.

Hey! I'm experiencing air quality issues from the same fire!

My dad and I were planning on going on some good long Nature walks this weekend, but instead this fire—which was caused by someone—cooped us up inside instead.

I can’t wait for the rain to finally arrive.

Drained from all this family drama.

Finding out that Brandon isn't some dude running for Senate. What the hell is wrong with people?

More terrifying news on the climate crisis.

My fear, rage and sorrow are ever mounting. I cannot believe I was born in a time like this.

No point in freaking out too much about it. Remember that scientists have a limited understanding of this stuff at best, this whole subject is politicized and weaponized and monetized by any number of organizations that have something to win or lose, and the media exists to scare you for profit. Take news headlines with a truckload of salt, especially from a source as unapologetically shitty as MSN news. I think half their 'articles' are written by algorithms. They made three different posts about 'sharks swimming in the streets' during Hurricane Ian. Each article used the same photograph, claimed it was new and in a different city each time, and the photo itself was actually from 2017.

Kanye West has said racist things about Jewish people, and I'm not Jewish, but holy hell, I'm pissed off.
