TIFU by quitting my job

A little backstory, I've been working at this place for 5 years and it's been the most toxic place I've ever been. I stayed telling myself the pay was worth it but the abuse got to be too much recently. I feel like I have to justify my decision by adding that the abuse I'm referring to includes calls 24/7 asking me to do work from wherever I'm at. I've gotten calls at 3 am, while at a funeral, while at birthday parties, basically whenever my asshole boss wants. Also, he loves to make me feel like crap and insult me every chance he gets, telling me how I'm a mess and basically useless. When I confronted him about it, he said he paid me enough for me to keep my mouth shut about it.

Well today I had enough. I quit telling him that tomorrow would be my last day and it'll only be to finish what I hadn't today. I don't regret quitting I only regret not doing it earlier. My problem is that I now have no job and have to wait to hear from them places I've applied to. This means I'll be not working for at least a few weeks and as a person who lives paycheck to paycheck this is my worst nightmare. I don't know how I'm going to make rent next month as I don't know if my last paycheck will be enough to cover it. Now I'm scrambling to find some filler work while I hear from the other places I've applied to.

Anyone have any advice?

TL;DR

TIFU By Fumbling My Gym Crush

I've never posted on Reddit before so apologies if anything is off. I (F) had a crush on a man at my gym for months. We would make extended eye contact frequently, workout in proximity, the usual gym things that get over analyzed when you like someone. He's wildly handsome, but I liked his vibe. A lot. It's hard to explain when someone's energy just hits different but his did. One day he started coming in with a woman. The day I saw her with him, he and I actually stared at each other from across the room for a while, and I turned and walked away because obviously gym rules - that's his girlfriend until I'm told otherwise. The eye contact continues and so does the proximity but I've dialed back completely because in my head, he has a girl and I am no home wrecker. Well, recently, on a Sunday, I was having a real shit day. I accidentally hurt my shoulder so my back day was all off, my body wasn't cooperating, the gym was packed - all I wanted to do w...

TIFU by getting called racist for not handing cash to a customer

today I (F18) fucked up by worked a long ahh shift and got put on register. I never hand money in people’s hands as customers have yelled at me for it, and i think it’s germy so I scoot it towards them as a sign of respect. this lady came in and after i did that she goes “Imma need you to do that again and put it in my hand, you did this last time too don’t you know it’s disrespectful” (meanwhile i haven’t worked register in 2 months at said job and didn’t recognize her) so i apologize, and then cuz it’s call off time i go talk to my boss about it and they all agree with me. apparently though she told my keyholder who’s a poc i was being RACIST by not touching her. so i got told i need to do better even though i didn’t do anything. she was insinuating i was a racist. idk if i should quit or what but i fucked up. TL;DR: i’m a dumbass

TIFU by sh*tting in the bushes at a high school

So I’m training for a local 10k race in a couple months. That’s about 6.2 miles. Not a long race but not a short one either. I’m making good progress and tinkering with what works for me on longer runs, how I can keep my body moving at an easy, consistent pace for about 70-80 minutes. I’ve been increasing the distance over the past few months, prioritizing getting the distance down before I work on pace. I train early mornings at a local high school track within walking distance of my house. They have public hours almost every morning from 6-8 am. It’s a very nice track with good lighting and ✨no public bathrooms✨. Because I’ve been focused on increasing distance I’m waking up earlier and earlier to get to the track and really hammer it out before I go home and shower for work. In turn, I’ve been drinking a little extra COFFEE most mornings get my body going. Til now this hasn’t been a problem, I don’t leave the house until my body takes care of business. I successfully dropped the ...
