Wow, it’s you!

This is dystopian. Death to capitalism.

Issues that don’t affect me

I have no idea how I’d even contact her.

The thought has crossed my mind many times, but I think that ship has long sailed. It was about 12 years ago and even if I was able to contact her, I can’t imagine she’d be too keen on talking to me.

So do I, it was a real asshole thing to do.

Voyager for me. It’s a direct copy of Apollo for Reddit, which was an excellent app before the bastards at Reddit made it die.

I used to talk to this girl on some random app in the early days of social media. We became good friends and would facetime every other day and got to know each other pretty well. This went on for probably about 2 years. She even began to have feelings for me.

At some point, I decided to completely ghost her. The truth is I got this idea in my head that talking to girls on the internet was sad and desperate. But I didn’t want to tell her the truth.

She tried calling me and texting me but I never replied. Even about 6 months later she tried calling me out of the blue, but again I ignored the call.

To this day she still doesn’t know why I just disappeared on her. It was a horrible thing to do and I’m not proud of it. Ghosting is almost always cruel unless you have a very good reason for it.

They can insult each other constantly, and neither of them takes it to heart.

I’m not popular enough to be recognised

I got fired from a call centre on my first day because nerves got the better of me.

We were on a very strict schedule for taking breaks and making outbound phonecalls. I stumbled my way through a few calls until my break time (we started late in the day to help ease us in). When I came back, I delayed for about 5 minutes because my nerves were shot. Stumbled through another 3-4 calls and then my supervisor came up and told me to grab my stuff and follow him.

He took me down to the managers office where I was ripped into for taking too long on my break. I admitted to this, saying that I was nervous. He also accused me of not even greeting people on a few occasions and failing to say the important part about calls being recorded. I found it incredulous that I would forget to even say hi to a person, but I genuinely couldn’t remember so I couldn’t really argue with it.

I was fired there and then. Had to give my pass back and leave the building immediately. I was stunned when it happened, but I quickly got over it and realised that it would have been a really shit place to work anyway. I wasn’t even given a second chance or the benefit of the doubt.

That manager fired me believing that my actions were malicious and that I was lazy, he didn’t believe that I was a nervous teenager who made genuine mistakes. That was the part that pissed me off.

I tried this before and it was complete shit, everything took forever to load.

Not that I’m dismissing the service, other people may have no issues with it, but personally it was almost unusable for me. I’d still encourage other people to try it and hopefully they’ll have a better time.
