Well fuck u Mr. Grinch

Time for Christmas season to begin in full force Say what you will about Christmas season but the time of year from Halloween to Christmas is like my favorite time of year. I swear it's almost like I have a reverse form of Seasonal Affective Disorder because I'm almost always happier around fall/winter/holiday season. Only time I wasn't was that one year I was stuck at that shitty job and knew I was going to have to work on the holidays.

AND SO IT BEGINS

He called again to scream at me. Barely let me get a word in. When I did get to talk I mostly just challenged him on things he was wrong about or had unrealistic expectations about. Probably didn't help but neither would just going along with his bullshit in the long run. Eventually he hung up on me. I might just fucking shoot myself if he calls again because I know even if he isn't still mad he'll still be on the same bullshit (just calmly now!) and it still won't be a crisis and the conversation will still go nowhere. I need my own crisis line to deal with this shit sometimes.

Technically, it means someone who is actively a danger to themselves or others and needs us to call 911 for them. That happens maybe like one time in a year. Most of the time it's just people that are having a rough time and just need someone to talk to for a bit. Maybe some help using coping skills so they don't get to that level of "real" crisis. That stuff I don't mind as much because it's what we're there for and it's just more overtime/productivity for me. Then we get people that call for dumb shit or for no real reason at all. We used to have a few of them that would do that frequently but now we just have this one guy that does. He calls like every day and it's never a real crisis and very rarely is it he needs someone to talk to to avoid a crisis. This week he's mostly just been complaining about my one coworker and saying he (the client) needs to go to the hospital. He lives at a place with staff who could call EMS for him if it really were an emergency but he knows no hospital will admit him if he goes by himself since he's not a danger to himself or others. He thinks that one of us taking him will help even though no one is going to take him much less advocate for him to be admitted anywhere.

I mean either way I'll be slightly annoyed I'll just be more annoyed if it's not a crisis than if it is

Depends. Is it an actual mental health crisis or do you just want to bitch at me for not doing everything you want me to

So he called and just talked at me for 5 minutes. Still on some shit. I said maybe like 2 words because I'm tired of his shit and I know anything I say that isn't exactly what he wants to hear will just lead to more problems and I really don't give a shit at this point. He did say "I won't bother you anymore" since I wasn't telling him what he wanted to hear but we'll see if that stays true.

Same client is on some dumb shit again tonight. He called me like 5 times this afternoon while I was bust with other stuff. We usually don't answer client calls on the crisis line during business hours because they're supposed to just call one of us instead. He did eventually talk to one of my coworkers who gave me the run down. I think the client is really pissed off because I told him he could call me on crisis after 4:30 if he wanted and so far he hasn't I was expecting a call right at 4:30. I'm sure it's still coming eventually though

We have do many clients that have that attitude. "Don't tell so-and-so this, but...", "Can you keep this a secret from the rest of the team?" we always say "sure" but you'd better believe that most of the time the next thing we tell our coworkers is, "It's a secret, but this client said....."

But then I'd have to go to Akron

We all use the out of "Oh, I'm getting a call on the other line. If this isn't a crisis I need to hang up and take this other call". Usually works really well. Or if you REALLY don't want to talk to them at all, or if they've called 10 times while you're on the toilet or something and you know it's not a crisis, text them while the phone is ringing and say "I'm on the phone with another client. Is there a crisis? Do I need to call 911?" usually shuts them right up.

Client calls me while I'm making dinner and just spends 20 minutes bitching about how awful one of my coworkers is (even though my coworker did nothing wrong and the client got mad over some dumb shit and sent some very rude texts). He calls me to say he has a "problem" but can't talk about it because he's too busy complaining about my coworker and all of us and how dare we tell each other things that clients say/do to each other on this fucking team based model. Apparently that's the coworkers fault that this guy can't move the fuck on and talk to me about what this problem is that's so important. I told him I'd call him back later tonight so he can tell me all about this grand "problem" after I eat dinner even though I really, really don't want to talk to him but hopefully by doing that I can hopefully avoid getting woken up at 2am.

What do u mean it's been 2 months ur not an expert?!? That sux dude hope things get better for you soon.

Learning a coding system or whatever kind of system it is that Naraku is trying to learn is a TINY BIT more complicated than learning to use a cash register you absolute turnip

Who the fuck cares how many replies a thread gets on this dead ass website

"This is why you get ignored", she said, as she replied to his thread

Sounds like something that would be in a Fallout game In fact this may have even been on a radio mod I installed at some point

U can't control me ur not my real dad

But a single cashier posted a photo of ~$1000 in her cash drawer! That is so much money for an entire corporation. Clearly K-Mart is saved.

Went outside for like 10 minutes to add some air to my tire so I don't have to worry about it in the morning. My thumb and index finger are numb from unscrewing the valve cap and it's only 50 degrees outside so not even that cold. I do love fall and winter but it sucks having a condition that turns my fingertips white and numb when it gets even slightly cold

Wonder if any of the management there even cares enough at this point though

Then why do you say "we" aren't making money and call it "my" cash?
