    The Not Happy Thread - Continued

    Discussion in 'The Lounge' started by big soft moose, Sep 24, 2021.

    I'm not happy that some of our larger threads are so big that they are throwing up server errors, therefore we are having to close the first installment, and start a thrilling sequel

    so herewith a new place to grumble, gripe and get it off your chest

    (the replacement threads are temporarily sticky to make sure everyone can find them)

    Aomething happened at work in a meeting that i was not happy about. So i spoke up.

    It shocked everyone because at work im quiet and passive and dont really speak my mind.
    Now that i did, the managers feel embarrassed and disrespected, even though i didnt attack anyone and just said that i was frustrated with how things are going.

    One of the managers who is black (and the only black manager, just like how im the only black librarian) said that, unfortunately, no matter how we speak up, we are always going to be viewed as the "angry black woman" and its sad that we have to be meek and quiet to be "heard"

    Im not happy about this......

    that sucks... "embarrassed and disrespected" is manager speak for "called out on our bullshit" and "made to look like the incompetent assclowns we are"

    How discouraging, JT. I agree with BS Moose's assessment above. The company ruling class too often goes into shock when an underling speaks, black, white, or indifferent. Twelve years with a law firm taught me that if nothing else. Underlings are to be seen politely nodding their heads in agreement, and not heard protesting the status quo.

    I’m not sure if this warrants anxiety, but I wanted to vent:

    I’m just in a bad headspace right now that keeps telling me that humans secretly hate each other, and any evidence to the contrary are a mere facade, just something for the pictures. Or they’re being paid…somehow.

    I know that’s not true. I know there are decent human beings who treat each other with kindness and compassion regardless of who they are but sometimes my brain wants to tell me that it’s all fake. A lie.

    Why the F**K does my brain do this to me?! -_-

    I could while away the hours
    Conferrin' with the flowers,
    Consulting with the rain;
    And my head I'd be a scratchin'
    While my thoughts are busy hatchin'
    If I only had a brain.

    Yeah, you ain't got what it takes to be a politician (unlimited ambition). Give it up.

    Yeah, I kinda thought that. I was right in the middle of messaging somebody a few hours ago when suddenly it froze up. I left the site to check to see if other online connections were down, and they weren't. When I went back ...server couldn't find FB. I assume this will be fixed eventually. Meanwhile, I've got other stuff I could be doing to better effect! :)

    Not the end of the world, but it could be a problem if folks are only connected with each other via FB—and were in the middle of making plans.

    Oh, that's why my insta feed wouldn't refresh this morning. Thankfully my social media addiction isn't crippling enough for me to care.

    Tried to record a craft video for a program at work. The camera cut off halfway through.
    So we recorded the second half again.
    My guest left after recording.
    Went to upload the video. The video is blurry :dead:

    Hey, John Flukinger from Facebook. Good thing I’m friends with a lot of y’all on here too so I can keep connected. :p

    Yeah, I feel for those who make a living on social media. :[ Meanwhile I’ve other stuff I can do, and I’ll consider this a break from social media while it lasts.
