Sketches of a Bipolar Girl: Tomfuckery

 

Okay so I had my 7 day free trial of 2026. I'd like to cancel my subscription effect immediately. In fact, if we can back date it to 12/31/2025, that would be great. Reason for cancellation: Too much tomfuckery and bullshit.

I was ready for this year. I was optimistic and looking forward to meeting my goals that I had set up on my 2026 bingo card. However, The first week of the year was all bullshit, fuckshit and shitty shit. It started out well enough. I had made a commitment to do better at my job. I was going to really try this year. I even had an acronym for my approach. CARE.  Consistency Attitude Respect Effort. It was going to be my mantra. However, it didn't work out that way. 

I asked my supervisor if he had heard anything regarding my level 2 promotion/class. CRICKETS. I heard not nary one single word on the subject. Okay, fine. I asked for some time off on the 16th. NOPE. So, it wasn't available. I was supposed to volunteer for a MLK day event in Atlanta from 10-2 pm. I requested my volunteer time off and got that. I wanted to just take the rest of that Friday off. Not available. Okay, fine. I still needed at least an hour to drive back home from my volunteer assignment in order to work my shift. NOPE, sorry we don't have any time off available for the day. Well fuck me. I guess I'm not doing my volunteer thing because the fucking company won't allow me the drive time to make it back home to work. So, I'm just going to have to work that day. Which in my book is just tomfuckery. 

I rearranged my doctor appointments in order to have the time off, but that was blown to hell because I got sick on the second day of the first week of this month. I got the fucking flu. I had gotten my flu shot in December, but I got sick anyway. I even lost my voice for 2 days. So, I had to use all of my available PTO, and then some. So, my next check is going to be short. 

I had to borrow from my 401K in order to pay my rent and buy food for us. I paid a couple of bills to get caught up, but am now broke again. I need to make at least $3700 a month, which comes out to around $23 an hour. I currently make $18.70 an hour. So, you can see my problem. I simply don't make enough money to support my self in this fucking economy. 

I've started looking for another job again, because I am getting the feeling that Delta Dental is using me. I've thought about what I'm going to do in 10 years. I'd like to retire. So, I rebalanced my 401K, and made my investments more aggressive. I do not want to be answering anyone's fucking calls when I am 70. I've always joked that I would work until I die, but it's not so funny anymore. It's become all about the $$$$$$$$. I had decided to give Delta until March to give me my promotion, but I think I will amend that. I may cut it off by a few weeks to the middle of February. Then, who knows. I will start aggressively look for another job. So, far I've just been applying passively. But now, I just can't afford the bullshit anymore. 

I have a new shift starting on the 26th. I was excited about it. It's M-Th 8:15 am to 7:15 pm. I'm off on Fridays. But it's not turning out well. My primary care doctor is not in the office on Fridays. I wanted to see a dietician, but they aren't in the Johns Creek office on Fridays. Plus, I'm no longer enthusiastic about the company right now, so I'm not sure I want to give them 10 hours a day. 

I am fed up with this year already. I'm cancelling my subscription. I'm just going to go with the flow. I can only breath out of one nostril and my head is killing me. Fuck it. Fuck you 2026. You suck balls.
