Work (-), mental health (--) 

I'm fucked. My efforts to come across as friendly and supportive have been interpreted as 'condescending'. The boss is joking about installing the doom beam in my basement so nobody has to deal with me ever again. When they blow off steam, it's 'funny'. When I blow off steam, it's 'hurtful'. Or 'frightening'.

Most probabilities lead to my termination, probably within the next seven months, if history repeats. And then the meds become unaffordable. And then. And then.

@zx3 Oh, him. The Islamophobic right-winger who grabbed my ass demonstrating how unreasonable women are. Collects guns, shoots animals for fun, left the army because they're too soft. Errupts into tirades about liberals/students/immigrants every few days.

I've pointed out that he loses *his* shit without consequence: the boss' response was "He's too important to what we do to fire. You aren't."

@Momentrabbit @zx3 :trash_fire:
..It occurs to me that you may want to tip off the asshole that you 'overheard' the boss describe him as irreplaceable, and that means they can never promote him.

@Jssra @zx3 Ah, but he doesn't want to do anything else.
