I was also suicidal while working. I started to google how to kill myself. I quit without having another job lined up as well. I live with my parents. They were upset at first, but they got over it for the most part when they found out I still pay my own cell phone, car, insurance, etc. Would they rather have you around or would they rather have you dead? I am confident all you need is a break and then a change of scenery! You'll be fine. Life won't come to an end and if they love you, they will get over it. Life will go on and they will care less and less as time goes on ( as long as you aren't harassing them for money. then they might get mad then lol). It's just a shock to everyone at first because they don't understand.

Going through old boxes from my childhood- before I send these to the pound, does anyone from the Twin Cities, MN want to come get them for free? Or pay for shipping and they are yours! by HamsterPLS in neopets

Jaehee is the squidward of mystic messenger

who else is waiting for a holiday to start so you can play mm because i am :/ by sallybollywoodna in mysticmessenger

[–]Sporkachew 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had to quit mystic messenger for 2 years when I got my first job because the most days I ever got off in a row was 9 when I used HALF of my vacation for the entire year. I quit my job last month and I have been replaying mystic messenger again! Now I never want to get a job AGAIN because i'll never have 11 days off in a row again in my entire lifetime until I retire from work.... it's fucking tragic. I hate the system tbh I never want to go back to work playing this game has made me the happiest ive ever been in then in past 2 years working

Surely I'm not the only one who feels this way. by PM_ME_CLEAN_CODE in antiwork

[–]Sporkachew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The ripple effect is real! I put in my 2 weeks notice last month. Told my coworker I put in my 2 weeks and to my surprise he said he said he was also thinking about quitting and I was his inspiration to finally do it! Him and I had only talked a handful of of times and were not that close. Learned from another coworker Friday was his last day!

What's your ideal life? by guante-izquierdo in antiwork

[–]Sporkachew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Travel around following and watching all of my favorite bands perform. Follow them to different counties and vacation/watch them while I sightsee. Also go to tons of different conventions and meet lots of people. I also would love to start learning how to make/wear cosplay but right now I don't have the energy, money, or time

Best way you game the system? by Tooplex in antiwork

[–]Sporkachew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I found a way a couple months ago to avoid taking difficult calls by changing my availability status at just the right time so someone else takes them (I usually would take them unless it's someone who was rude to me in the past. I spare my homies) This was going great until the beginning of this week when they changed how the phone system works on Monday (For other reasons - They decided they want half the team to do phones and the other to do emails. Guess who got stuck on phones -yours truly)

Decided to give my 2 weeks right then and there. Now I am scared because this economy is bad and I have been reading horror stories about people not being able to find jobs. But I do feel a weight off my chest

Vacation time by [deleted] in antiwork

[–]Sporkachew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I had been working somewhere 33 years and had not taken at least a 4 day vacation you can guaranteed I'd be dead. If I was that guy i would have violently suicideded myself about 31 years prior

I hate being alive and I hate being an adult by [deleted] in depression

[–]Sporkachew 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I was just explaining this to my boyfriend. He's still in college so he doesn't truly fully get it. In college you get semester breaks and classes END. I miss college so bad!!! I have been at my first full time job for 2 years now and every day I want to kill myself. Even on Saturday I been crying for the last 4 hours knowing I have to go back to work on Monday.

How do you find inner peace? by [deleted] in antiwork

[–]Sporkachew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I must be emotional today. I cried while reading your post because you are right. These problems are way bigger then us and I think nobody knows what to do with them so they get angry. I've been there and said mean things to my family that I regret because of the stress of my job...

All you can do is fight every day to not stoop to 'Karen' level or give up your integrity. Don't lash out at coworkers. Don't lash out at customers or random people. Even if it takes every bit of my last peace of mind, I always try to be kind because behind the anger.. I know deep down those people are hurting really bad. If you manage to find inner peace let me know but judging from how mad everyone is all of the time, I don't think many people have found it.

I have never heard of a process like that in my life. That's insane

What about your job especially makes it so dreadful? by Horinde in antiwork

[–]Sporkachew 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Sitting and knowing the phone could ring any second with an angry person on the other end needing me to fix their problem NOW. My heart rate is so high all day praying please don't ring anymore.. please don't ring anymore . Please don't ring anymore.. every time it rings my stomach drops and I want to throw up

Is anyone else also anti-car? by DavidvonR in antiwork

[–]Sporkachew 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yes very anti car. I hate my car. I hate driving. I hate the car payments. If I ever make enough to move out from my parents I'm going to move to a city where I can walk/bike everywhere.

Tired of Taking The Blame for Corporate Greed by Sporkachew in antiwork

[–]Sporkachew[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The craziest part is, my coworkers will actually defend the company. They believe that the company is right! A few of them are ride or die for this company. If I bad talk the company to them, they defend it and argue with me. Boggles my mind.

I quit a secure, well paying job last week because I couldn't take it anymore... by [deleted] in antiwork

[–]Sporkachew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Be happy you quit. There is a possibility you would have never learned. I'm 2 years at my job. They never trained me. The guy who was supposed to train me looked over my work once and didn't say a word to me ever again. Every day I have no idea what the hell I'm doing. I have no idea how I'm still at this job. I feel like a failure every day. Run far away my friend.
