I know, I know, everyone is a sorry-sack who hates their life. I know its self indulgent to wallow in self pity. I know these things yet everyday I wake up feeling heavy and lifeless. I hate my job. But I had such high hopes for it. It was going to be more money, better experience and the chance to spend some time in a new city. Only my boss is very near a complete mental breakdown. He is mean, obsessive and manipulative. So things are not going well. And this week it all hit home because now I am turning 30 all alone in a new city. I have nice co-workers but they are also wrapped up in the insaneness that is our job and really don't seem to care about my birthday. i miss my friends. Did I mention I will be 30 and I still live in my parents home, with no boyfriend and, obviously no career. How did this happen? How did I manage to f*** my life up so bad? I am so lonely right now. My apartment is our office as well. So lately I have been randomly bursting into tears, only I have no privacy, so all my co-workers probably think I am an emotional wreck. I'm sorry, i'm a girl, I cry. Sometimes at work. ugh. When will all this end?
Posted by anonymous at February 6, 2007 1:25 PMI'm confused. Your apartment is the office, and you live with your parents? Please clear that up for me.
It's called depression, and it's treatable.
Posted by: at February 7, 2007 5:56 AMOnce again a REAL ANONYBLOG POST! Thank you poster. This site has been over run with a group called the Clan and all they do is post trash all day. This post is a welcome relief! Thanks!
Posted by: at February 7, 2007 4:39 PMHere we go again. We finally get a REAL ANONYBLOG POST! and some dipstick decides to respond to it by taking a slam at the Clan, which has absolutely nothing to do with the OP. Please leave your war out of the legitimate posts.
Posted by: at February 7, 2007 5:53 PMThere is no war in this legitimate post. This post is what Anonyblog is about. This post stems from the soul. This post does not stem from fake bears, false chefs, fecal eating mongrels, or ignoramus wanna bee's. This post is true Anonyblog!
Posted by: at February 7, 2007 7:59 PMLet me rephrase: leave your war out of comments to legitimate posts. If the OP "stems from the soul", then respond to the post instead of bringing your ridiculous crusade into it. I'm sure the OP didn't post this to get a pat on the back. Do something useful for once and either give the woman some advice, or commiserate with her.
OP: again, I'm confused by your references to living with your parents and your apartment being your workplace. Do you work for (or with) your parents? And believe me, you aren't the only thirty-ish person still living with your parents. The cost of living continues to go up, and many more young women like you (men, too) simply cannot afford to get out on their own. It's not a terrible thing, you know. It's a return to the way things used to be, when extended family all lived and worked together. Be grateful for your family; family is EVERYTHING.
Posted by: at February 8, 2007 5:52 AMI know it sucks honey but keep your chin up. If I were your co-worker I'd hang out with you! :) I don't mean that in a creepy way or anything, i'm a girl too, but I understand what you're going through. I moved back to my hometown and am living on my own for the first time ever. Also, I work at a car dealership and I am the only woman there. So trust me, I feel your pain. All I can say is it can only go up from here, right????
