Today was... OK. It's my supervisor's (who I found out was actually my supervisor's supervisor) last day training me, which was fine by me. She was starting to grate on me. We found the deficits in my knowledge base and training which were worked. That's not the issue, and my supervisor even chalked it up to it being my second day, but highly encouraged me review the material. Fair enough.

My issue was with her being simultaneously hypervigilant and obtuse. She would catch on to every figure of speech or metaphor I used, but (Intentionally, it felt like.) refused to treat them as such, asking me to elaborate and explain what I meant EVERY SINGLE TIME. There was a doctor I had one time I was inpatient that very much had the same MO. It's like they were daring you to get overtly annoyed with them so they can bring the hammer down and make you face consequences.

Speaking of consequences, the paperwork for my unemployment appeal came in today. My former employer included forty-five pages of documents to try and justify my termination. I looked through some of it. There's information going back a year that they're trying to sneak in. If I had a 45 page disciplinary file, why did they keep me around? Corporate legal BS. As much as I want to fight them to the bitter end on this (and I'm already quite happy I forced someone to create a freaking dossier of lies on me), I dont have the energy to pursue this anymore. I have a job, I'm exploring disability and as annoying as my family (and family dynamic) is, they still have some willingness to help.

One thing I'm not going to do again is skip breakfast! I nearly fainted on the sales floor and saved myself by taking what amounted to a gummy version of a glucose tablet and some water. Being on lithium probably didn't help the situation either!

One thing that did help was taking my PRN (Abilify) before my shift. It helped take some of the edge off of new job jitters and kept my interactions with my intentionally obtuse boss from going completely off the rails.

I've got some fish and fish breading, courtesy of the family. I think a fish fry tonight for some lunch tomorrow seems like an excellent idea!
