Ohhhhh The Insanity

[logicallefty]

Has anyone ever reached a point in life where you sit back, stop, look, and realize that the people around you are sucking the life out of you? Nearly everyone I have to interact with is just oozing with negativity lately. I wake up every morning to my phone going off with somebody with some god dammed problem with something.. My mother comes over to my house and b|tches about how I choose to run my life, something she never used to do (I have posted about this). My daughter is all wigged out now because she doesn't like her step dad, doesn't like her new school, all wigged out cuz her "boyfriend" is being a jerk. I've been seeing a women for almost a year now. On her best days she is perfect and I think "wow she is a keeper". But there are other days that all she does is remind me of my past exes so much that I get repulsed.. I really don't think it's her fault, I just think that all women are the god dammed same and I am loosing my tolerance for all of it. My I.T. job, the woman manager I have had problems with for years got a promotion and sense then she is making my life an even bigger he|| than before. One of my best friends who used to be the roll model married man I always admired, his wife is screwing around on him now... Even the good ones don't last do they? I'm looking at jobs of moving out of State, leaving my daughter behind, selling my house, and even taking up to a 40k a year pay cut just to get the fVck away from all this negativity here. My 18-20 hours a week as a cop is about the only sane thing I have right now, believe it or not.. I'm 41 years old and just like "wow" is life really supposed to be this much stress everyday, was I put here on this earth to be a dumping ground for all this sh|t, or would I be justified in saying the he|| with it all and moving away... I just don't know what happened to people but things just seem so out of damn control. :cuss:

It's probably the weather...

Everything always sucks when summer ends and fall begins. The time of joy ends and the time of...survival...begins.

Sound like its time to start planning that vacation. Holiday planning always perks chicks up especially if u give them a job to do.

How do you get a part time job as a cop?

I try to keep as much negativity out of my life as possible. Unfortunately, it's not always possible. The most negative people I have in my life are my parents. I try to distance myself from them as much as possible, but if I distance myself too much, they get all fvcking pissy and whiny. Can't win.

Time to figure out who you can distance yourself from and who you can't. Oh yeah, and a couple weeks vacation would probably do you wonders. If you can't afford to travel, just tell everyone you're travelling but stay home and do whatever you want.

Is it weird that i love this time of year?

I'm curious about this myself. I think I might like to do it.

one thing I normally do is disapear when I don't feel like it to deal with people, good thing they normaly will send a msg (who I can ignore for a long time), same for parents my mother love to complain, so I started to complain at her for her complaining or just to piss her off a little that normally gave me some time without her talking with me

try to take some time off, the new job is a good thing, bad bosses are not a good thing to have and since you are not like opening complains against her on HR, just make sure the reason for you quiting your job is her when the time came

Thanks for all the replies, all. I've considered a vacation actually. But would have to find somewhere to go that didn't have cell signal or much of the stuff would still follow me. My I.T. job requires 24x7x365 on call. I went to the New Mexico desert to get away several years ago thinking there would be no signal and I could just tell people "sorry, no signal!". Shoot there was better signal there than where I live! I could always lie to work about where I am going too, and just shut the phone off.

As for the part-time cop thing, every State is different. In a nutshell there can be up to 3 level of Reserve/Auxiliary officers, then part-time, then full-time. In Illinois you have to first be hired at a department as a part-time officer. Then you go to the part-time police academy which is spread out over 9 months of most weekends and a lot of homework, vs, the full-time academy which is up to 16 weeks M-F, home on weekends. For the part-time academy you take the same tests including physical fitness and State certification. Once you hit the streets, you do the same duties as full-time officers, you have the same arrests powers, you can carry a gun anywhere in the US off duty just like full-time can. You don't get treated any different really, and you don't wear anything on your uniform that says you are part-time. The significant difference you do have though it that you can only work I believe 1560 hours per year. Again, this is Illinois, each State has differences.

You might be on to something there. I've noticed all kinds of negativity and bitching happening suddenly, just as the summer came to an end.

I agree, the fall season tends to bring on even more bad stuff. Some people get clinically depressed.

I've got some really awesome things brewing my life right now that I can not wait to see through, but in parallel to those, I am dealing with so much negativity on a daily basis. I just ended a relationship with a woman who I actually liked a lot but she was getting demanding and often oozed so much negativity that it soaked into me, even when I fought it off and tried to push it away. That has helped but I still have crap going on at my full time job and in my personal life, all due to people, that is really wearing me out.
