Minor rant thread. Post your rants o' the day here!

How much processing is required? I just want my damn shower shoes since my flip-flops broke and they don't have any at my deployed location :(

I love my wife with all my heart but my god I cannot take the doom and gloom. We live in California, we have decent resources to help our LGBT+ family members and we will survive all the stupidity and if we don't nothing we could have done to prepare would ever be enough.

Raging at me about Iowa and where our extended family lives for the last two months, your parents being stuck in the 1950's I am just over it. Go yell at them and stop thinking I am someone you can rant at. I spend 10+ hours a day working and most of that is talking constantly and keeping people alive and unhurt, I am completely blown out. I need a hour to decompress and read before I get into making dinner or talking about my day. 

I am going to delete this at some point. 

In reply to wearymicrobe :

I'm with you. Even being on the same "side", I can not handle that constant doom stream.

I'm tired of just complaining. Complaining doesn't accomplish anything. It just makes me feel *worse*. It leaves me with less energy. Give me something I can *do* to help change things and I'll be up for it.

I'm considering becoming actively involved in politics, but I really don't want to be. I don't want to be a member of either political party. But I also wonder if this is the same sort of thing as, "The people who should be running the HOA are the ones who don't want to be running the HOA."

Or split the difference and focus on a single issue that I care about and finding a group who wants to lobby for that to get a political party to *actually* enact it.

And my Boss just had a blowout with management and quit on the spot. Already removed from email and company list. As if 50+ hour weeks weeks were not long enough I get to deal with all this now. 

I am going home and getting plastered if I can get out of here before 6:30pm.
