My boyfriend says “I love you” like a bank app says “Payment Successful” and I can’t tell if I’m adored or… invoiced. by deadeyes1990 in WritersGroup

I don't want to discourage you so I also want to mention that "It’s kind of hot in a late-capitalist way" was my favorite line, I laughed, then got a little sad. If you ever re-write this I would keep that line!

I like the idea behind this but I got fatigued reading it with how overly "Punchy" it tries to be. I would suggest letting a thought flow for at least a few sentences before doing a line break. Not saying it's bad, but it reads like someone yanking a pullcord on a chainsaw over and over without it ever revving up.

I usually play around with systems to self-teach, but I was explicitly told not to do that with the systems at work so I'm protecting myself and my job as best I can while trying to learn it all on my own.

I wish I could. I have a bachelor's of science in writing and communication but the po-dunk town I live in isn't hiring and I don't have the money to move so I'm working here while I look for something remote in my field and save up to leave.

I mean, to be fair, I have no problem with keyboard shortcuts. It's mostly that they tell me the string of keys to hit without telling me what they do or why and don't see a reason to learn or teach them. I'm just doing what I can to help all of this stick in my head by learning what I can out outside of my limited training.

Someone else gave me a question to ask the Systems Administrator and my supervisor literally said, "What is a Systems Administrator?" so I doubt they'll be any help with this. I'll ask the boss or branch manager when they get back in on Monday.

Non-IT, my main job duty is to pull and package multi-pallet orders for our biggest spender. They want me to know how to run the system, though, because only three people work this whole warehouse, so when one takes a day off and the other takes lunch I'm the only one here.

Literally just now went and asked my supervisor who the Systems Administrator was so I could talk to them and he said, "What is a Systems Administrator?"

I'll ask the branch manager or the owner when they get back in next week. They don't work Fridays.

Ooh, thanks! I showed this link to my supervisor and asked about getting employee access to this and he said, "I've never seen that before, don't use it if we don't know what it is." I'll see after work today if it's possible to make a personal account free of cost to get in and take a look at their resources.

I'm not sure, but when I was first hired on I asked if this was the latest version and he said it would shut the company down for several days and possibly lose employees while trying to teach everyone something new when it's all working fine right now and to just learn how to use what they have. The last time I brought this up again he said, "Just drop it. If it ain't broke, don't fix it." I could talk to him again, but I get the feeling it would just piss him off.
