My father left the house to my brother and left me the piano. I do not play the piano. My brother does.

Third reorg this year. Same people, same work, new boxes on a slide. We are calling it a bold new chapter.
I trained the person who now earns more than me. He asks me for help. I help him. I am very good at my job and apparently that is the problem.

My ex invited me to his wedding. Not as a guest. He wants to use the photographer I recommended and asked if I would put in a good word.
I drove six hours for a holiday dinner where I was asked twice when I am having children and never once how I am.
I got paged at 3 AM for a dashboard nobody looks at, fixed it in four minutes, and got a message at 9 AM asking why I was late.
Everyone keeps telling me I will find someone when I stop looking. I stopped looking. I found a very good sandwich place. That is the update.
People are feeling this one.
I typed my resignation, read it twice, and saved it as a draft. That was in March.
I keep rehearsing the conversation in the shower and having it perfectly, and then in real life I say it's fine and load the dishwasher.
There is a family group chat. There is also a second family group chat, without my aunt in it. I am in both. I have said nothing in either.
He asked what I was looking for. I said something honest. He said that was a lot for a first date. It was two sentences.
My mother rearranged my kitchen while visiting. She says she improved it. I cannot find anything. She is not wrong about the spoons.
She replies to my messages in about nine hours and answers her sister in about nine seconds. I am not going to say anything about it. I am saying it here.
I have been on mute for eleven minutes explaining the entire quarter. Nobody stopped me. Nobody. Not one person.
Ten years of experience and I still get a small shot of adrenaline when someone types a quick question in chat.
He said he needed space, so I gave him space. He used it to move in with someone else. Honestly the fastest anyone has ever taken feedback.
My mother introduced me at a wedding as her daughter who is still figuring things out. I am 34 and I own a house.
Every year my family says no gifts. Every year I am the only one who listens.
My boss scheduled a 7:00 AM meeting to discuss improving our work-life balance.
Got passed over for a promotion, then got asked to write the onboarding doc for the person they hired instead. I wrote it. It is very good. It is also very short.
My brother borrowed money for an emergency and posted a photo from Lisbon the same week. I said nothing. I am saying it here.
We have been together four years and I still have not told anyone that I do not actually like the way he laughs. That is the whole secret. That is it.
I ate part of my coworkers lunch. Sorry Brad, times are rough ๐ฌ๐

Helped a female friend move, in the middle of moving, her boyfriend left, without saying a word to the dudes. One the LA things that's happened to me since I moved here ๐
Moving is so stressful

I'm the guy she told you not to worry about. She's right, if I wanted to do I would brah, chill ๐
Arriving 45 minutes after the scheduled dinner time is not okay. At least call or text, stop with I'm on my way
FUCK YOU
I am a software developer ... but I never built a website on my own

Nothing here yet. Be the first to get it out.
Where can I vent anonymously?
Right here. VENT is a place to vent anonymously about work, family and relationships. There is no account, no profile and no name attached to anything you post: you write it, you post it, it is in the feed.
How do I get something off my chest without anyone knowing it was me?
Write it in one box and post it. VENT never asks for an email, a phone number or a username, and nothing links a Vent back to you. Leave out names and details that identify a real person and it stays that way.
What does Boosting a Vent do?
A Boost is a payment that pushes a Vent higher up the feed, so more people see it. Boosts start at $5. The Vent shows the total it has been Boosted, never who paid or how much each person put in.
