Ty-Jackson Outburst

It's been one of those weeks, and honestly, my life here at work is getting annoyingly crazy. I feel like I'm teetering on a fine line, just about ready to call it quits and find a new job. This one pays well, sure, but what's it all for? The constant belittling, the betrayal, the backstabbing, and the utter lack of accountability are just too much. A few days ago, I was blamed for something that happened while I was off work, something another coworker ended up doing. How does that even make sense? I'm starting to wonder if they're trying to pull a fast one and push me out, especially since I stood my ground after breaking my foot. If this is some kind of ridiculous game, I'm already sick of it. I used to think I could handle the in-work bullying if it meant keeping my son fed and a roof over our heads. But I'm seriously one email away from sending a letter straight to the CEO. I'll see what next week brings. If I don't post again, it's probab...

It's been a while since my last entry – the 12th, I think. I haven't even touched my computer since then. Honestly, I've been glued to my phone and my new Switch 2 , just enjoying the games I have. But even with all the gaming, my blog is never far from my mind. I guess it's just that the viewership has dropped so much lately. It makes me wonder if I need to find a new home for my writing. OpenDiary was good, but it's really not worth the money anymore, especially since it seems completely unmanned – I haven't heard back from any of the website administrators. I'm actually thinking about contacting the company that hosts OpenDiary to see if I can gain access to the site, even if it means paying for it since it seems abandoned. It would be great to get it back up and running. As for the Switch 2, the games themselves don't seem all that different, but the console definitely feels more stable than the original. That's a plus, at least!

I feel like I can finally take a full, deep breath. My wonderful mum came by this morning – an absolute angel, as always. She dropped off the most incredible care package for me and my boy. To open the cupboards and see them full, to look in the fridge and see it stocked... it’s a weight off my shoulders I didn't even realise I was carrying so heavily. It’s a relief that will see us through the next few weeks. And speaking of my boy, my heart is just bursting with pride. He’s been so busy helping out the neighbours and has earned himself around $215! Of course, his good deeds came with a bit of a mishap today. He came home absolutely covered, head to toe, in pink and red paint! It turns out he was helping paint a new children's room and, in his excitement, didn't think to mention it. I couldn’t even be mad, just looking at him standing there, so proud and so… colourful. His clothes were a lost cause, so a trip to the thrift store was in order. We found some things that fit,...

Work Woes and Weekend Plans Work's been a bit of a slog lately. Honestly, things have gotten pretty stale, so I've just been doing the bare minimum to get by. And the new hires? Forget about it. They seem to be doing absolutely nothing productive, so I've decided it's officially someone else's problem to deal with. My energy for that has just run out. Time Off and Gaming Goals Thankfully, I've got a few days off coming up, and I'm really looking forward to some actual fun. Top of the list is finally finishing up some TV episodes I've been binging. But the real priority is diving back into Tears of the Kingdom on my Switch. It's time to finally beat that game! I've been putting it off, but I'm determined to see it through. My Boy's First Forays into Earning Nothing new with the boy, he's happy as ever. He's actually started asking for money for "chores," which is pretty funny. I told him to ask the neighbors if they had ...

The last 48 hours have been a complete blur. Yesterday and today at work were just... chaotic. The launch of the Nintendo Switch 2 has been pandemonium. From the moment the doors opened, it was a frenzy of fulfilling duties and processing a mountain of orders. You'd think we were handing out gold bars, not game consoles. I spent two days in a whirlwind of cardboard boxes, receipts, and frantic customers. The hardest part of the day, though, wasn't at work. It was the moment I walked through my own front door tonight. My son ran up to me, his eyes wide with the kind of hope only a child can have, absolutely convinced I'd be bringing one home with me. When I showed him my empty hands, his face just crumpled. The tears started instantly. It’s a gut-punch, that sound. I tried to explain that nearly all the units were pre-paid for months in advance, and that there simply weren't any left for me to buy. I left out the part where I couldn't afford one right now even if the...

 It's been fun whilst it lasted, but I met a good few people who I hope will follow me here!
