Feels nice though.

You're not the only one that misread the situation. I think I'm gonna have to sell it already.

I can't reverse the magazine release. Which, I would deal with, given how nice the gun is. However, coupled with the fact the holster I just bought for it is also junk, just put me in a really bad mood right now.

at the speed of sound?

So pissed off right now.

For fuck's sake, even the magazines are bad. The rounds nosedive when you try to chamber a round.

God damn it. I lost so much money on the old gun.

damn. you can't get any money back if you return it and tell them it's a lemon?

I just want a little bit of time to myself, for myself, and no one else...

The manager cut me a break, and offered to refund my money tomorrow. Something about inventory needing to cycle before they can do anything. And, it was the magazine I purchased ontop of the pistol. The ones it came with are just fine.


Argh.

I'm sorry. If you can, make that extremely clear next time.

Ditto.

I've put what must be 30-40 hours into Skyrim and not once have I heard a guard utter the legendary "arrow to the knee" line.

Eh.

I don't have time to do what I want because everyone else needs me to do something.

Tell them what you told us. You need some alone time. And if it's not an emergency, tell them to respect that.

Every time I say how I feel, they play the guilt trip card. I can't say my piece without disappointing them. I have to choose between my friends. But I can never choose myself.

then those people who do that to you shouldn't be considered friends.

I was all ready to relax today but then I got told to do this and that and while I'm trying to do that for them I needed to be relaxed but while I'm trying to relax I keep stressing about what I need to do and... AGH!

Breathe a little. Slow and calm. Cart's got a point, guilt cards have no places in friendships.

I don't want to write. I said I wasn't feeling like it and yet that didn't matter. Now I feel like I can't do anything else but stare at the unfinished story because then I'll feel guilty for blowing off the responsibility.

I don't know what to do. My mind is refusing to cooperate on the story but I'll feel guilty if I just move away from it.

I hear ya. Is it impossible to request a break? Maybe explain your stress right now.

Not currently but I'm really stressed. I thought vacations were supposed to be relaxing.

Then I'm also getting told by my Dad "oh, you're out of school? Then we can do this, this and this around the house" and I'm like, do you have an approximate time for all these things because I like to inform people ahead of time of my schedule if possible.

Yikes. Doesn't sound like people are understanding the concept of unwinding for a little while. Dump out all the stress and recharge.

Might be worth talking to them about it, if they can just let you decompress for a day or two first. Get used to not stressing over finals.

My Dad isn't gonna put me to work in the next couple of days but it would be handy to know a timeframe if possible.

But yes, I just want one day either to go smoothly or to have all to myself so no one screws it up.

That's the problem. Telling people your schedule. That's how you get people jamming themselves in.

If I don't tell people what I'm doing, they assume all the time I have is for them.

Sounds like they need to adjust their thinking. Not fair for them to assume they can take your time like that.

But anytime I say what I'm feeling, they're like "oh, don't you need to do this?" Or "you have to do this" or "I've been waiting for this to happen."

I know my schedule. I like my schedule. I try to stick to my schedule when I can but when I feel completely out of it like I did today, I don't want to be held accountable for things I need to do after I have some time to myself to do everything else.

Ahh, a nice car chase on the news. Maybe that'll calm me down...
---

Yeah.

Honesty is the best path here I feel. You're burned out and need time. They have to respect that. If they don't, well, I don't think you should respect their requests until you get your affairs in order.

I feel you deserve it.

2 coworkers didn't show up tonight. I ended up doing the work of 3 people by myself and getting out late.

Aww... the camera lost the chase...

That was relaxing though. Something very calm about a reporter talking about a motorcycle weaving through traffic.
