And the problem is that I don't want to manage everyone.
Why should I?
There are people who are *being paid* to manage us. That is their *formal job* that they *love very much* for all the *kudos* it grants them. For the people *sucking up* to get *sh*t they don't even need* like a flat to themself that they can turn into the noisiest f*ck*ng hub of a social center in the whole damned place.
Most of the people here don't even pay rent for the jobs they are meant to f*ck*ng do. Jobs like filling up the dishwashing detergent.
I pay rent (regularly and reliably) so I DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THIS SH*T.
Only I do have to worry because once again (surprise surprise) the very people whose job it is to look after others... Who are paid to look after others... Couldn't even manage themselves. Let alone co-ordinate the actions of a number of people.
This is a f*ck*ng joke. Once again.And people wonder what it is that I like about student accommodation. I have seen some stupid sh*t in student accommodation, oh yes indeed, I have. But I don't have to deal with sh*t like people living sub World Health Organization Standards (hey, maybe if you kept the house at habitable living temperature you wouldn't get / pass on sickness quite the way you do and it might even add years to your life expectancy) or not filling up dishwashing detergent. We even typically have lockable food storage space because people know full well that the significant majority of people in this world cannot be trusted to contribute appropriately so you do in fact NEED TO PROTECT THOSE WITH SOCIAL CONSCIENCE.
I do have problems with math and suspect this is the origin, now. Trouble assessing portion sizes and the like because of people trying to have me on. Constantly. Nobody was smart enough to figure out the standard 'fair' strategies (you cut I choose). Bullies grabbed, anyway. You cried... Everyone laughed at you.
I am glad I came back because it will help me come to peace with my childhood. Of course... The final part of acceptance will only come from my getting the f*ck away, again. But I did of course have to come back.
I DO want to help. But... What do I need to do in order to actually help rather than contribute to the problem (as most people seem to be doing - who are supposed to be 'helping').
?
(Of course I'm being unfair. They help in a bunch of other ways. Just not being a drunken lout is being a good influence etc. While the alchohol ban rule (for example) is f*ck*ng annoying (what I would give to turn up some music, open a bottle of wine, and ENJOY cooking a meal) without it... This place would be full of a bunch of obnoxious drunken people. Given the alternative.
I hate my life sometimes. Why did I have to be born?
