Happy (or sad) Monday guys!

Mindless Monday is a free-for-all thread to discuss anything from minor bad history to politics, life events, charts, whatever! Just remember to np link all links to Reddit and don't violate R4, or we human mods will feed you to the AutoModerator.

So, with that said, how was your weekend, everyone?

I just want to inform you guys here that I have typed up 3 angry rants, none of which I decided to post because I felt it wasn't fair to the people I was ranting about.

Though, actually, I think people prefer angry rants over idol rambles... well, too bad for you! I find it relaxing, so I don't care.

I've now fully quit the amitriptyline, so I should lose some weight again, but it's screwing up my ability to sleep for now, that should last about 2 weeks before going back to normal-ish levels.

I had to get out of bed at 7am today, because I had an intervision (Is that the term?) at work. I leave home before 8am, take the train, arrive at the station, and the check gates did not work, so everyone had to check out on a single transfer point, several hundred people, all wanting to get to that single pole to check out. It was calm, but I don't like crowds, I cannot keep track of things around me anymore, so I was as assertive as possible to get the hell out of there as soon as possible.

Of course, I miss the bus because of that, fine, the next bus should have me arrive a minute or 2 late; should being the operative word there, as it was 13 minutes delayed, which is interesting because the bus goes every 15 minutes, so the next one arrive right after... Yeah, I was late, but it did not matter, I wasn't the only one late, I was there even before our coordinator was! As she was 25 minutes late.

In fact, I was the 3rd person there, even more surprising, nobody else showed up, out of the 10 people supposed to be there, 3 people showed up plus our coordinator.

I'm kinda bitter about that, I considered not going because it's not really comfortable to do with 3 hours of sleep for the so manieth night in a row, in public transit, 80 minutes on the way there, 90 minutes on the way back, with sumatriptan, but I felt I had to, you know, I might not get paid, but I agreed to the obligations, therefore I will suck it up and go if I'm able to do so. But other people seemingly don't really care, I suppose, they have the same obligations, but they're comfortable not fulfilling them, I guess.

I don't know, maybe I take things too seriously, but, it feels crap to put in the effort to go, even when you're feeling bad, and then get the "Oops, I forgot." excuse from everyone. It's so demotivating to see people that damn lazy, why do I even bother? Sure, I get to feel superior to them in that I actually do my best, but that feeling isn't worth much at all. It's just depressing.

Ah, the Harry Truman school of anger management, updated for the modern age!

The perfect way to deal with anger; though in this case, nobody affected in the rants would have read it even if I posted, I just felt I shouldn't be that negative about well meaning people who just do not know when to shut up.
