Well, today was just stellar. NOT. The PA decided to take an unscheduled vacation, apparently, leaving yours truly to shoulder the entire workload. My foot is screaming – each step feels like a tiny hammer is pounding away inside. And to top it all off, the painkiller supply is dwindling faster t...

My wonderful PA. Honestly, sometimes I feel like banging my head against a wall. How hard is it to decipher basic handwriting? Apparently, it's an insurmountable challenge for some. And the truly frustrating part? He's got the memory of a goldfish. Instructions go in one ear and promptly vanish o...

Well, here I am. Behind a desk. It feels… strange. A far cry from where I usually am. The good news, I suppose, is that the medication seems to be doing its job, keeping the swelling at bay. And they’ve even assigned me a PA for the next four weeks. I have a sneaking suspicion…

Right, this is ridiculous. Absolutely, utterly ridiculous. If anyone is reading this in the future and thinks companies always have their employees' best interests at heart, please let this entry serve as a stark warning. I've gone and broken my right foot. Properly broken it. During company time...

May 7th Another day, another… well, alright day on the surface. The customers have been their usual mix of the pleasant and the peculiar, nothing too outrageous to report there. It’s the internal chaos that’s slowly driving me up the wall. Honestly, it feels like I’m managing a cast of characters...

May 4th Well, today was… something. Started off pretty normal, clocking in and getting straight to it. Then the boss called me over. Said I was his "right-hand man." Felt a little flicker of pride, I won't lie. But then he asked why I wasn't working tomorrow. Cue the awkwardness. All I could get ...

May 3rd, 2025 Another Saturday. Another shift that feels like it's never going to end. Forty-eight hours a week in this warehouse is starting to feel less like a job and more like a life sentence. My back is aching, my feet are screaming, and honestly, my patience is wearing thinner than the card...

Good afternoon, loves. Firstly, I would just like to apologise for going MIA for a couple days, quite a lot has happened and I was taking some time to regain myself. The first day I didn't upload was because my laptop decided to break. It was working perfectly fine the night before, I finished on...

So I have been suffering from gastroparesis. It's a condition where the stomach doesn't empty.  My gastro doctor suspects that I got food poisoning in February and expects it to resolve itself in a few months.  I made the mistake of going on the subreddit entitled "gastroparesis" and learned that...
