No demands.

No requests.

No demands.

I’m so done. Even my dog gets asked, “Are you seriously asking for more?” He has his schedule, and that’s good because I would forget to feed him if he weren’t on his own routine. But can I relax after my FT job? He gives me 5 minutes at most before he wants to get started on me eating dinner and his treats back-to-back, so we have to get started ASAP!

I’m not going to complain about him watching me eat because at least he is quiet during that time. Mostly.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR. And he whines. My current noise cancelling headphones don’t block his whining so…………

Anyway, no more demands. No more requests. No, I can’t do that. I don’t care that you can do it. Good for you. Nope, can’t guess how long something took or takes. But I’ll make something up, just for you. Do it all the time because they won’t stop, even when I try to explain.

The ability of a human to retrospectively estimate the amount of time spent on a task is largely only understood when the period of time is seconds or minuteslong.

ha. Just saw this quote in a study. Had to insert it. Well, actually…I can’t estimate crap! Seconds or minutes. But continue.

Don’t tell me to apply for more jobs. I did. They won’t hire me. I have receipts. Proof. Are 100 resumes enough? Oh, they demand MORE. I bet 250 job applications in a year wouldn’t satisfy them, which is bizarre to me. This is a lack of awareness/reality more than anything. It’s like they think that because they can get hired, anyone can. (I know the economy is bad for others now. But it’s always bad for me.)

Is it okay for me to accept reality? I’m unsure.

They won’t accept “I don’t know” or “I can’t” as an answer. They probably don’t know how annoying this is. But trust me, it is because they are the 67th person to suggest something so obvious. Like, “look at the clock.” LOL. Or “Apply for a job.” And set an alarm and buy a planner too.

Yes, at this point, it’s insulting. Do I look like I was born yesterday?

I need to get better noise-canceling headphones before I lose my job, but there’s no guarantee that BOSE will last 5 years if I pay $300. Okay, 3 years. My $50 headphones last about 4 to 6 months. It depends on the brand. I don’t have $300 right now.

I can’t even use other people’s experiences because they don’t wear them 24/7. Okay, I wouldn’t sleep with Bose headphones, but I would still wear them 12 hours a day. Yes, I do sleep with my $50 noise-canceling headphones.

Oh well. I’m sick of my dog’s shrill whining because he knows it will get my attention. Annoying people with noise must be innate in humans and animals. Go figure.

Oh geez. I think I messed up another prompt.

November Life Chronicle is starting soon. I will be blogging here more next month. Not daily but at least 50% of November. Every other day for sure. Between here and my personal journal I will try to journal 25 days out of the month. Or should I go with The November Brain Dump? Because most likely I will just be dumping whatever is on my brain. I’ll think about it…before November 1. And I will not be chronicling my boring days. I just work, eat and try to sleep. I will be randomly picking prompts to answer on most days. So….
