I changed courses because I had a mini panic attack in the exam. I'm doing a 6 month course in Aged Care to help me go back to my Dip of Nursing. I felt like a failure and felt stupid for doing that course. It is helping though.

So I'm already a bit fragile but I need to make a stomach doctor appointment. The receptionist was rude and was actually asking me why I was seeing her! None of her business!

Her: Why are you seeing her? Did you have a procedure?
Me: Yes, but this appointment is not for that

Her: Is it a review?

Me: No. I need to see her.

Her: Why?

Me: BECAUSE SOMETHING IS HAPPENING WITH MY STOMACH AND I NEED TO SEE HER!!

Honestly I'm putting in a complaint. Such a breach of patient confidentiality.

Hugs for @Queen Elsa Steelheart and @Mulk.
Sorry to hear about both your issues, they sound very frustrating.

@Steeldancer I don't know whatever became of your internet situation, but have you offered to pay the internet bill? That way you would have say on how it was being used. Or even splitting the cost. Right now, since they are paying for it, they really do have the right to say how it is used. I know its hard to tell tone on the internet, but I am honestly just trying to be helpful.

Oh, did I not explain the deal my parents made with me? I have unlimited internet now. As long as I don't use it on Sundays, and I don't use it until after my homework is done, I'm set.

You did but I think it was in the Good News thread so only those that check both know the full story.   

[Caesura she/her]

I'm still adjusting to driving in the city where I'm living for university (I'm from quite a small town so multiple lanes of traffic is a bit stressful).

Drivers here are so rude!! You indicate to change lanes and they speed up to cut you off!! Some guy just turned in front of me at traffic lights (I was on a green). I watched the This post has been reported for attempting to skirt the ruleshole smirk at me as I slammed on the brakes in the middle of the intersection. I'm still shaking. 

Edit: also congrats @Steeldancer, I'm glad your parents listened to reason

About a week ago: internet breaks

Earlier this week: internet is fixed!

One day later: internet breaks*

 

*but not really? I mean literally everything else but our computer can use the internet (as evidenced by the fact that I am communicating right now). It’s so annoying someone help

My mother fell this morning and hurt herself. As I am the only other person at home early in the morning I had to take off from work today to help her. We had to go to the doctor he thought it was just a bruise. We went home then the doctor called and informed us that a specialist to whom he had sent the x ray of my mother's foot found that one of the bones had chipped. He put her in a boot and on crutches. She has little idea of how to use the crutches and she keeps trying to step on the bad foot. She refuses to let me help her and I'm at a loss as to what to do. She worries about Pesach/Passover despite assurances from both myself and my father that everything will be ready. The whole situation is extremely frustrating.

That's rough. My mother is 92, still lives on her own, although she has a friend there 50% of the time. She broke her ankle a couple of years back and had a boot for... I'm thinking 3 or 4 weeks(?). She's fiercely independent, but we were very fortunate to have other people around, and carers who went in regularly (thank goodness for the UK's NHS). I can't imagine having to deal with that even two of you, with the added pressure of a major festival coming up.

Are you and your dad able to share your frustrations? Leaning on someone else can make a difference, not necessarily making things easier, but fortifying you to get through.

Have they given you a timescale for the foot healing? I see you've got a good couple of weeks till Passover. Hopefully your mom will be reassured that things are taking shape and that will make things easier.

Good luck! You can do this.

Its tricky I work part time and he works late. We have been collaborating, but we have yet to deal with a full week. Thankfully she was fit with a boot so she is somewhat mobile. Her recovery is supposed to take a minimum of a month. As a result all work for and on passover will be up to my father and myself.

I'm sick of them constantly getting uptight about how we use our time. So what that we aren't always productive? I DON'T WANT TO BE PRODUCTIVE ALL THE TIME. 

Capitalism!
I'm glad you've reached an understanding with them.

Refuah Shelaima! Pesach is hard and I wish you a lot of success. And maybe consider hiring help if you can?

And I assume, given that this is bad day, you want nothing to do with it. 

[SilverTiger she/her]

So, I lost my temper last Friday during class. I may have whacked the girl next to me on the arm, because people were talking during class (including her). Problem is, whacking people is not an appropriate response. I had to apologize after class. She told her mom, and her mom filed an official complaint. Now I am in big trouble (at worst, I could get suspended). I am waiting for school to start, and I will learn the consequences today. Just what I needed on Monday, besides the remnants of a sinus infection... Ugh.

Over an arm smack? So glad I'm not in school these days. In my day (not that long ago) the teacher would have smacked someone before you felt you had to, and thus stopped this nonsense from going further than it has. We'd even get just detention over bloody noses, and everyone is fine now.

I had a very similar thing happen a few weeks ago. I just went off on the other person, and the teacher's only reaction was to close the then open door.
