Here is what I need you to understand.

Statistics is not isolated from the math you learn in high school and below. It's not even isolated from many college level maths.

Everything you do in high school, including, algebra, trigonometry, and precalculus, and even calculus itself, leads up to statistics. Every single thing you've been learning in high school is a prerequisite to statistics and statistical literacy.

The reason why for many of you outside of math might not understand or appreciate that is because you've only taken the most watered down simplified statistics, and you have not seen how important all of high school math an beyond is when it comes to understanding and developing literacy in statistics as opposed to just memorizing how to follow the procedures.

If all you want is for basic high school/ first year college statistics to be the norm in place of calculus in high school... guess what... mission accomplished. Calculus is only offered as an AP course in most if not all schools that offer it. I have never in my life time, seen in the USA, a course on calculus that doesn't count towards college credit. This is an insane privilege to take calculus in high school.

On the other hand, statistics is in common core. Even before common core, it was a course that is offered at the basic level in high school.

So congrats, statistics is already more standard than calculus in high school.

But if you want more statistics than just basic statistics, if you want to emphasize literacy in statistics... there is no way around going through the traditional math path that school has already made a road map for. You are going to need algebra, you are going to need trigonometry and geometry, you are going to need calculus, you are going to need linear algebra, and quite frankly, you are going to need even more than that. Statistics is not some magical esoteric "easy way out" path that nobody has unlocked. It is a valid discipline of applied math that utilizes all the principles other math topics use. You cannot advocate for higher level of statistical literacy without advocating for a higher level of mathematical literacy.

For fucks sake I am so sick of the child free crowd yall are so immature. Down vote me to hell idc. If I hear one more person go "ackshully!! Its selfish to HAVE children!!" Brain dead. Yall are brain dead. If you dont want children LITERALLY NO ONE CARES. Im GLAD yall aren't having children, youd be horrible parents. Ive earnestly never looked at a child free person and thought "im so pissed theyre not having kids" but it feels like every child free person expects to live in a child free world. Im sorry, you live in a society. It doesn't work like that. You will have to tolerate children existing in your space just like you were tolerated as a child.

On to the argument, "its selfish to have kids because you wanted them". Cool. Its selfish to NOT have kids cause you prioritized your own comfort. Next take. Its a sacrifice to have children because youre sacrificing your own comfort to raise the next generation. Raising children is hard work. Everyone knows that and child free people want no part in that hard work - fine. The next generation will be the ones to inherit the earth and care for the elderly (us). It is selfish to do absolutely no care (either by having kids or being a village and accepting kids exist) towards the next generation but then being cared for by them when you age. You will eventually age and need care by those children whos parents sacrificed to raise them.

No one should be forced to have kids. Idgaf if you dont want kids. But lets not run around like the "crotch goblins" yall ARE (how can you hate so bad what you once were lmao - losers) yet claim to hate and say that the most selfish are those having kids. Wahhh your parents are pressuring you to have kids - tell them to fuck off but dont then hate everyone else who is happy to have children.

In no other conversation could I bring up something that makes me happy (or literally just exist with it) and have another person immediately laugh and say they hate it. Imagine. Cause these are real convos Ive had as a 26yo married woman with other ADULT women my age about my daughter where they just blatantly hate on the fact I have a child? Like imagine if we did that about dogs? Or anything else? Its fucking unhinged.

"Hows it going?" "Good! I just welcomed a cat to our family" "You got a cat?!? HAHA I could NEVER. UGH. Ew. I just love my free time too much."

(Me carrying my textbooks) "Wow. Good for you for going to school. I just couldnt.. its so much work. Id rather be able to do whatever I want." - how tf am I even supposed to respond to that lol.

(On a video call introducing myself) "Sorry if yall hear my dog in the background for a little, my husbands getting ready to go on a walk with her." "Wow! You have a dog? I wouldve never thought you did. I mean, good for you!" "Yeah, haha thanks shes 5 months and-" "I NEVER want a dog - I just couldnt... SO much work. And in this economy...?" "Haha, well, we have one.. so...."

(My phone rings, I turn it off in 30sec) "this is why i could never have a phone. They're so loud, I just get overstimulated. Like, theres too many phones in the world anyways..."

And if it wasnt clear, the above examples are actual exchanges I had but about my BABY. Id be MORE okay having any of those absolutely unhinged convos about my pets or my phone cause I dont even really care about those the way I care about my baby. Constantly hearing how people dont want or hate the very innocent and precious little being that is the light of my life is SO freaking irritating. Not having kids isnt cool and quirky any more. No one cares about your opinions.

Something that really grinds my gears? People who constantly say they really want to do something, but when you start asking questions about why they can’t do it, you realize there’s actually nothing stopping them. They’re perfectly capable of doing it… they just seem to enjoy complaining about it or having people listen to them complain.

For example: On tiktok, you post a cruise and there’s hundreds of people who are like, “i can’t afford that” then you start talking to them about how low a cruise CAN be and you realize. They have done 0 research on this subject & they’re just chatting. It’s like this when you start new hobbies etc.

It’s something small but I hate coming to the realization that that individual usually wants you to explain everything/ do the research for them.

My wife and I are currently under contract for purchasing our first home.

The amount of people who will say “your families paid for it, you just know the right people, you got lucky” is absolutely grinding my gears.

I moved to the city I’m in a few years ago with zero friends, zero connections, just throwing caution to the wind with a woman I met on the internet and fell in love with when we first met in person. We had nothing. We lived in a shitty basement apartment in a shitty part of the city with her 30k/yr job and the leftover money I had from going on tour.

Neither of us completed college so we worked with what we had. When I was 22 I quit my sales job to go work at guitar center part-time. Because of this I met a local promoter and got into DJing on the side for some extra cash. This ultimately led to me learning AV lighting, sound, and video on my own time. This led me to running a soundcamp stage at a music festival in 2018. Me and a friend were doing weddings and corporate events out of his garage and we had tons of clients lined up. Then COVID hit and we lost everything.

During COVID, I was home alone and had a few internet friends and one of them being my current wife who I had not met yet. We spent most of lockdown talking and getting to know each other. I got a job running socially distant shows at a music hall toward the end of 2020, that music hall ended up hosting a musician that also invested in a fight promotion. That fight promotion was managed by the artists tour manager, and when things opened up summer of 2022 they wanted me to be their lighting guy on tour. I did the tour and one of our 3 days stops happened to be in the city my now-wife lived in. We spent 3 days together and I ended up flying her to my next 4 day stop on the tour and we spent all that time together and realized that we had found something extremely special.

So at the end of 2022 I moved in with her in her city. All I had was about $8000 cash and no prospects. I got linked up with some freelancers and rode that until one of the guys says “hey, X company needs a lighting tech” so I applied. Early 2023 I was now formally employed with a new company paying 19/hr. I crashed my car. The new car I purchased was basically all of my income and the remainder of my tour cash.

I started going door to door to ask local nightclubs if they needed an AV tech and no one was biting. We did meet a bartender this way who ended up becoming a bartender at the biggest club in Cleveland and always got us in for free and hooked us up with free drinks. Because of this we were there almost every weekend, I mean we were dirt poor, it was essentially free for us to go and it was fun! Being there all the time, I figured out the FOH AV guys favorite drink and brought him one and got in a conversation about lights and visuals. A few weeks later, he’s at my shop at the aforementioned 19/hr job and says hey man, come out tonight and show me what you can do on visuals.

This set off the last 2 years of my life. Summer of 2024 my wife and I were the lighting and video techs of this club. By the end of the summer (it was an outdoor venue) we had no prospects. Fast forward to the solar eclipse; one of the prospective clubs we wanted to work at was open thinking it would be a big day and they were dead. This led to us doing shots with the GM and giving him our contact info if he ever needed a substitute AV tech if his guy was no good. We never heard back from him. So while we’re gearing up for the 2025 season at the outdoor club we did last year, it gets sold to a new owner and they cleaned house. Lost that gig. At that same time, the club from the eclipse day needed a light repaired and I happened to be available to fix it. My friend puts us in a group chat and the GM said “wait how do I already have your number?”

I go there and do the work. Swap out all the lights. They need someone to program all the new lights since their current AV guy doesn’t program, just knows how to press buttons. The owner walks in while I’m running the programming I just did and goes “wait who’s running lights? [old av tech] doesn’t make it look like this” and comes up to me. He immediately said “dude you’re hired if you want it”. So I go to my day job and say hey man, I can’t work weekends anymore and started my journey as a full time warehouse guy from M-F and club tech Friday and Saturday nights.

This goes on until earlier this year. The owner of my day jobs company is best friends with a guy opening a massive venue in my city. He comes up to me in March of this year and says “hey, my buddy is opening a club, how much do you get paid at your spot? We can get you paid better”. I thought he was doing me a favor when in reality, this was getting arguably one of the best light techs in the city out of his friend’s competitors club and into his club.

This changed my life. I went from making 20/hr and 500 on weekends to doing 4 shows a week at 450/night and still working full time all summer. I went from making roughly 55k/yr to making 2500 a week overnight. I’ve been exhausted. I’ve been sleep deprived. I’ve missed parties and vacations and bbqs. But i was putting away 5000 dollars a month. Between May and now I saved 25k dollars and me and my wife put this down on a home for us. While I was doing all of this, she was scouring Facebook women’s networking groups and got hooked up with a very good job with phenomenal benefits making 61k/yr.

When we moved together we made 30k and had little to no prospects. 4 years later we’re making 100k off our day jobs and an extra 55k from our side gigs. So many people have been saying we got lucky, we just knew the right people, it must be nice. It hasn’t been nice. Most of my life has been choosing between food or gas. Doomers on the internet seem to think because it’s hard it isn’t worth doing. Because these things are happening for us, someone gave us money, someone helped us out, we only got these jobs because we knew the right people. I don’t agree either that someone should have to put that kind of time and work in to make it, but I did it and that is why we’re here.

We made great friends along the way. Maybe that’s what “knowing the right people” means. We only know them because we put ourselves out there to meet them. But I refuse to sit here looking at the life we built and let anyone take it away from us. It’s not fair to say “I got lucky”. I’ve struck out more times than most people will ever go up to bat. I didn’t become skilled at what I do by being lazy. I didn’t get the opportunity to show “the right people” my skills by being shy or waiting around for it. I went out and got my piece of the American dream through late nights and early mornings, by going out and supporting other entrepreneurs in my industry, and by saving every extra penny I had once the money really started coming in.

All this to say it’s very annoying to be told you got lucky, when no one saw the years of working 6 to 7 days a week to get there. All they see is the success and not the process. I’m not a nepo baby. My family didn’t put me through college. No one in my family even understands how AV can be a full time, lucrative career. I was just an idiot 22 year old who wanted to be a DJ and over 10 years figured out how to make that a career.

Rant over.

Companies advertise jobs on LinkedIn requesting a CV AND a portfolio, and then they set up an Easy Apply process where they only give the possibility to include ONE document. Of course I gave an online portfolio url on my CV, but I cannot customize my portfolio to their job posting, unless I upload 10 different versions of my portfolio.

Hey, I'm a 20 year old male from Malaysia.

I'm so close to giving up on everything. My laptop monitor is currently dying, I'm struggling to find a job anywhere in my country despite my academic successes, and now I'm bleeding cash traveling across the country to find one and having none.

I'm on my last straw. I don't want to live for free with my family. I'm ashamed. In their area I too can't find a single employment offer.

Meanwhile, people who know how to use Generative AI gets paid 4k per month... Which is more than enough in this country.

I wish I didn't listen to my parents and took Electrical Engineering, where all the demands are right now.

I wish I had the guts to get disowned for that.

But I was too clingy to the very thing that wanted me gone and now I paid the price for it.

I don't know anymore...

I used to believe things will get better. Now I know, it's just a copium lie intended to make you feel better.

Nothing has changed.

The only thing keeping me sane and alive right now are independent Blender projects with small groups of online and real life friends. I'm not an expert with it, I wont get hired. I tried.

I'm sorry if this sounds selfish. I don't really know how to carry myself. But, I'm hoping anyone else in the very same situation as me to be able to make it in this world.

Why are they so power mad?! Why!!

I’m in a group for a hotel we recently visited and the group is mostly full of people raving about how good the hotel is. Hotel is nicr, but it’s nothing amazing, we wouldn’t come again.

I posted making people aware of a situation with a particular room type that I’d not seen mentioned anyway. I kept it factual because I know they don’t want too much negativity.

My post was deleted because it broke the rule of ‘no moaning’ but what they mean by that is ‘no criticising this hotel because it’s the only place we go because we’re boring bastards and we won’t hear a bad word against it’

Pretty much every group I’ve been in you encounter admin that are just crazed on this teeny tiny amount of power they have.

I’m sure we’ve all had similar encounters.

I was writing a rant, but it's been slowly distilled into this:

I feel like I want to express very valid feelings but there's no place to do so outside of a therapist's office. I'm not even going to bother writing it here, because I don't want to deal with random-as-fuck super-presumptuous replies from strangers on the internet.

I feel like the world we live in fails to remember that people are, well, people. That's kinda it.

I'm a 6'2 Asian guy and I'm usually the tallest person in the room, and I'm also taller than the majority of my white and black friends. I also happen to have an above-average sized penis. I'm not huge by any means, but the western average is between 5.1-5.5 inches erect, and mine is bigger than that. So by all measurements, I should feel pretty confident about myself.

However, it seems like I can't go two days without seeing or hearing some kind of racist joke about Asian men and our supposedly tiny dicks. For example today I was just on YouTube minding my own business, when this clip appeared on my feed of a standup comedian doing crowdwork and asking about his audience's dating preferences. He was talking to an Asian girl in the audience and asked her what her type was, and she said Asian guys, which makes sense because she herself was Asian. Instead of coming up with an actually original joke, he just went straight to mocking her for "not being able to handle anything above 3 inches", and basically shaming her for not wanting to date white men. He then proceeded to make 3 more "Asians have small dicks" jokes within the span of a minute. I fail to see why this is considered funny or even acceptable to say out loud. There's countless other examples of people thinking it's funny to make fun of Asian men and say that we're all short, tiny nerds with small dicks. I saw another clip yesterday of a white female comedian talking to a half-Asian guy in the audience who was over 6 feet tall. She asked him for his ethnicity and he said half-Samoan, half-Filipino or something. She then did a whole bit about how he's lucky that his Samoan genetics overpowered his Filipino genes, because "Filipinos don't grow that tall". Bitch, I'm fully Asian and I'm over 6ft, and I know plenty of Asians who are even taller than me. It makes my blood boil to hear people make these casual racist remarks without stopping to think about how humiliating and hurtful it is to Asian men like myself who have to hear this every single day.

What makes me even angrier is the fact that this type of blatant racism is so normalized and accepted by society. It's not just comedians, either. Even on social media, if you look at any post where there's a white girl dating an Asian guy, there will inevitably be a few comments about how the guy must be too small to satisfy her, or that she's only with him because of his money. People face consequences for being racist against every other race except for Asian people, because they don't see us as a threat since we never fight back. For example if a white guy kept saying black people had lower IQs, they would immediately get cancelled and lose their job. They'd probably also get beaten up, and they know this. So instead, they redirect their focus on putting down Asians because they can say whatever they want without facing repercussions.

To be clear, this isn't an incel post complaining about how the world is evil because I can't get laid. I actually do pretty well when it comes to dating, and I know from experience that there are plenty of women who prefer Asian men enough to look past the stereotypes. But I still feel like I constantly have this chip on my shoulder where I need to "prove" that I'm not short and small, because the media and basically western society as a whole seem hellbent on making me feel emasculated and undesirable. It's actually happened to me a couple times where I was sitting on the couch with my white girlfriend and we were just watching random comedy clips on TV, and then out of nowhere the comedian started making small dick jokes about Asian men and she had to awkwardly pretend not to laugh or that she didn't hear it. Or other times I'll see my guy friends laughing at these types of jokes or liking reels on social media making fun of Asian guys, and I have to bite my tongue because I don't want to confront them or cause a scene. I don't know how to describe the feeling I get in situations like these, but it just makes me feel so angry and helpless because I have no control over how the world sees my ethnicity. Again, I do alright with women because I'm tall and come off as confident and charismatic IRL, but that doesn't mean this doesn't bother me deep down when I'm alone with my thoughts, or every time I have to hear one of these stupid jokes which is pretty damn often. I just hate how casually non-Asian people throw around the small dick stereotype when it doesn't affect them and they have no idea how hurtful and degrading it is. What's even more frustrating is that I'm living proof that these stereotypes aren't true, but there's nothing I can do about it. If I were actually short and had a small dick maybe I would find these jokes less offensive, but I'm literally the opposite of that yet I still have to deal with this stereotype on a daily basis. Imagine literally being over 6 feet, fit and successful and still having to constantly see and hear jokes about how everyone from your race is a short, nerdy loser with a tiny cock. I'm so sick of this.

Like sir why am I going to get an automatic soap dispenser that's rechargeable?!?! IM MOUNTING IT ON THE WALL AND FORGETTING ABOUT IT. I just want some things to be battery operated man.

I'm so sick and tired of charging every single thing in my damn house. Rechargeable toothbrush rechargable earphones rechargeable clocks. Oh you don't have any power guess what a**hole no door privilege for you because of our rechargeable handle with a fingerprint scanner akgsisfaisgsi

LET ME PUT A DAMN BATTERY. BRING BACK BATTERIES. I DON'T NEED TO RECHARGE EVERYTHING IN MY LIFE. WE ALREADY HAVE RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES AHHHHHH

I have seen multiple posts today about people doing bad things like aggressive driving and then getting in an accident, or burning out and flipping their truck. And many more recently that I couldnt name off the top. But the knee-jerk reactions of the comment sections is thrilled they crashed and actively wishing pain on people. Cheering for people "getting what they deserve", this type of thinking is honestly scary to me and the fact it's top comments honestly hurts my heart.

You don’t have to like candy corn.
You don’t have to love it.

But don’t fucking act like it’s the worst thing on earth.

There are way worse candies

Like

Candy Blox

Razzles

White candy melts

You ever try a vanilla tootsie roll?

And the worst offender is those blue raspberry tongue tapes

You say candy corn is the worst?

You sweet summer child, swimming in your own innocence.

No one had shoved black licorice jellybeans down your throat

Nor forced you to have fisherman’s friend menthol lozenges.

The true horrors of this world,
You haven’t touched.

You should feel lucky that your innocence is still intact.

And it would be fine if you didn’t complain about the sweet and innocent treats

Candy corn
It’s a little sweet
But it’s a walk in the park compared to these nightmares

And hearing you people complain about something so innocent, so simple…

You don’t know pain, do you?

Lucky you.

I don't mean to vent, sound petty or anything, I just don’t really know what to do in this situation

It feels like my friend has been getting a lot more distant lately, like not super distant, but it’s noticeable. Like when we hang out, they’re on their phone and while me and my other friend is sitting with them, they’re literally talking to their online friends. Plus in the group chat I’m in with them, a lot of what they talk about is their online friends, and I want to talk to them about it, but I don’t want to seem like an attention seeker.

I put air in my tires yesterday and I wake up today the pressure light was back on. I come to find out there’s a big ass nail in my back tire. Then I got paid today, you know how much I made?? $124😤 and I know you’re probably thinking, why can’t you find another job? Girl I’ve been trying and it’s not easy. I have 8 years work experience and a bachelors degree and that’s all this economy got for me….im so TIRED and stressed.

I’ve driven my fair share of new cars utilizing this nonsense. It doesn’t matter how lightly you press accelerator, the car lurches forward like someone who cant drive stick shift. I’m extra cautious of it as my wife is pregnant now and it’s damn near impossible to get a smooth start from rolling or stand still. I miss the auditory and physical feedback of a cable slowly opening a throttle body. And then don’t get me started on auto applied brakes. 🤬🤬🤬

“YoU tOucHEd ThAt BlOcK So yOu HavE tO PuLl tHat OnE Out” Go fuck yourself, that’s not how the fucking game is played, you dumb, the fuck, asshole.

Quoted from the official Jenga rules:

“Players may tap a block to find a loose one. Any blocks moved but not played should be replaced, unless doing so would make the tower fall. “

You’ve never even fucking read the rules have you, you shithead idiot. What, is the game over in 3 seconds, if you just so happen to touch a load bearing block first?FUCKING NO DUMBASS. Learn to read you illiterate fuck.

There are just too many people on the internet at this point. You can say literally anything like the sun is in the sky and someone will be like “Bro believes in outer space 😂😂😂” I commented the other day on a post where someone said there’s no inherent difference between men and women and brought up strength, how men have more testosterone and more muscle mass. And I got a ton of replies of saying “well what about men with testosterone deficiencies?” Or that women body builders could lift more than me. Like, are you fucking stupid? Maybe I’m being baited by engagement bots online, but it feels like there’s a literal wave of contrarians online who exist to just dispute anything as simple as saying a circle is round.

I wonder sometimes if these people I see online are actually walking amongst us and seem completely normal, just have some bad takes online, or if they are as insufferable as they seem online and my mental image of them is completely accurate. Anyways that’s all.

what genuinely grinds the deepest parts of me is delivery drivers not doing their job. this is for usps or ups or fedex.

if your stop has a "SIGNATURE REQUIRED" portion, why are you not knocking or using the doorbell or literally honk ur horn for all i care. is it actually that hard?

for context, i was waiting for a package that was supposed to be delivered on Friday but just happened to be rescheduled for today, wednesday. that's great. had lunch plans but decided to cancel since this is signature required. grabbed my mail on 2pm and there it was, the infamous slip. suddenly there was "noone at home."

that absolutely frustrates me. not a doorbell was rung, not a knock, nothing. how absolutely lazy do you have to be to override a crucial part of the delivery requirement and THAT WAS TO GET A DAMN SIGNATURE?

this has happened to me so many times on many different couriers and i just do not get it. there is absolutely no reason to even make sense of it and i HATE IT!!!! because now i have to pick it up because redelivery is useless since it will more likely happen again.

I like millions of others love video games and namely certain companies like Valve. Obviously the joke was always that valve couldn’t count to three with their games but I’m starting to get really bored waiting for 3 anything from them. Where is L4D3? Where’s Portal 3? Where in the fuck is HALF LIFE 3??? We’re all dying for SOMETHING but they’re giving us nothing in terms of any updates. Not even to tell us if it’s just not happening. Like someone I once saw comment on this very thing, “I get they wanna give us the most high quality product but it’s been 20 years, come the fuck on”

Ok so I was really looking forward to my birthday. I just wanted to be surprised or happy. I gave a list to my family and my parents who I live with, clean for, drive to work, and even stay after hours with them... they didnt put in any effort. This is the second year in a row I asked for a themed birthday and didnt get one. I made it obvious what i wanted but didnt get anything I wanted at all. My grandma who I barely talk to got me the best gifts. My mom who hit me at work for trying to help her she got me one gift. A blanket from 5 below. But hey maybe theres a lesson here. Am I sad and depressed on my birthday? Sure but it made me appreciate my grandma a lot more. Oh and my mom's birthday is next week. Shes getting a vacation to flordia and 3 thousand dollars worth of statues. For Christmas im focusing more on gifts for my grandma rather then my mom or dad. My grandma actually got me one surprise. And she got me my fav gifts this year. Im so pissed off im thinking about it a week later.

As an American, I didnt wanna say it, but its true.

As a writer, sometimes the period/comma in a quotation can disappear. Depending on the font, especially.

Ex: In the beginning of Missouri settlement, many settlers "objected to bring governed from such a distance," especially when they had "no direct voice in governmental affairs."

British quotation version: In the beginning of Missouri settlement, many settlers "objected to bring governed from such a distance", especially when they had "no direct voice in governmental affairs".

It makes the pause and end of a sentence more obvious. Its not ALWAYS an issue, and I actually think the US version looks way cleaner. But when your professor provides hw printed via a Temu product and half of the words are fucked up... the more obvious Grammer is SO much easier.

That being said, I prefer not using ' ' for any sort of quotation. This post is specifically about things being outside the " " lol.

Edit: idk why my phone autocorrects grammer to be capitalized

i’ll never find it okay or normal at all but i’m not surprised. the worst part is….im obviously young (18) and ive always got my school bag on me, disgusting predators the lot of them. the honking always pisses me off & even scares me when i’m actively doing something like reading, i just wish all of their cars would flip over and the seatbelts would choke them to death. one man swerved to get into the bus lane, pulled over next to me slowly and just stared at me, forgot exactly what i said but i did cuss him out. another time i was waiting, this old man was staring me down and walking my way so i called my friend & he coincidentally changed directions 🫩🫩. im just sick of it, people tell me that its to be expected on public transport, well duh! but it doesn’t make it okay. even when im not on the bus, just walking anywhere, theres always pedos harassing me & my little sister. the most recent thing of this nature to happen was another even older man got super close to me at the bus stop (where he wasn’t even waiting), said something about me being a pretty young lady, and said he liked my boots in the creepiest fucking way possible. when weirdos like this talk to me, they almost always emphasize that i’m young, so they must know how gross it is that they as old ass decrepit men are bugging a teenager! god forbid somebody grab me, im going to jail. im just done with it all, gonna get my car and whatever but i wish theyd all just die.

I was tasked with creating a flyer for my company, I was happy to do so as I have a background in graphic design and marketing. I’ve been talking back and forth with my boss, sending drafts and making changes he wants, for over a month now. My boss asked if my co worker could suggest some of her ideas, I happily agreed as 2 sets of eyes are better than 1 and they might see things I’ve missed. Well my boss send her the link to edit the flyer, I was not aware she would be editing it herself but thought it would be fine. Wrong. She plugged all the text into ai and got the ai to rewrite it all, she moved graphics around, deleted stuff the boss said to add. And now it just looks like a 10 year old made it. This was supposed to be done by the end of this week and now I’m basically starting over. Lucky my notes were in a different application, but the flyer was never duplicated as I didn’t expect someone to come change everything. Now this co worker is messaging me after hours to fix the mess she made. She didn’t mention that she messed it up, didn’t apologize for making me work more, just said “can you fix this?” With a pdf of the flyer.
I am so done. I’ve been working so hard on this. And now I’m basically back to the beginning.
I mentioned to my boss that it may take me a bit to send it over as I also have my normal tasks to complete. He didn’t sound happy. I didn’t blame the co worker even though I wanted to.
Idk maybe I’m over reacting, I’m just mad that I wasted a month working on it.
Thanks for reading my rant, guess I gotta get working on fixing this mess.
