I have just learned the real reason why my previous boss was so bent on keeping me off my machine

So I'm in a weird spot right now where my previous Asshole boss (who says he's resigning but I heard he was fired from being the boss) is essentially helping new boss figure out how things work.

I work on a golf course as maintenance and my main job is mowing around greens and teeboxes as well as areas no other mower can get to for various reasons. And I heard from a golfer that my previous Asshole boss was bitching at my current New boss because I was constantly using my mower and how I should've been doing blah blah blah.

Which makes no sense to me because it's Spring. The grass is basically sprouting up overnight and looking like I haven't mowed it at all which means I have to mow it again. Especially since it would be INCREDIBLY stupid if the Rough around the Fairway was lower than the Rough right next to the Green.

I then heard from my old Nice boss who quit because of said former Asshole boss (yes, it's complicated) that he had also been hearing shit from Asshole boss because...he was sick of hearing my mower.

Asshole was sick of hearing me run this loud ass piece of shit mower that MULTIPLE PEOPLE told him NOT to buy.

Instead he wants to push more work off onto the sole worker cutting the Rough of the entire golf course by themselves. They are barely keeping up as is and his bright idea is to cut back on me mowing my areas and instead give them to the Rough mower. So like instead of me mowing an area like 2 Green then Rough mower does that too on top of all of their current shit.

Meanwhile just last week, my Coworker was asking me to help them cut sections of the Rough so they could actually get it all done on time. Yes, give them MORE things to do when they are barely keeping up with what they already do. Great idea!

I'm honestly still dwelling on the part where Asshole vouched for this brand new machine that I ran for 5 minutes, could tell was a piece of shit, told him that it was shit, he told me I was just exaggerating because I was just used to using the other brand of machine, and now he's apparently mad that we DARE keep use the machine that HE alone wanted.

Nobody ever liked it except him...up until he finally ran it after months of me bitching about issues and literal years of it breaking down all the time, even brand new.

But no, time to get mad and try to make one coworker take on way more shit than they can handle and take it out on others 🙄

I can't wait till he stops being a hovering presence constantly taking out his anger on other people for no reason.

I just had a nightmare so unpleasant I was thrilled when my alarm woke me up

I just woke up from a dream where my cat peed and shit all over my room right before I had to go to work. It was BAD and I was in tears because of my asshole boss would be pissy I'd call to say I was going to be late for cleaning my room and obviously getting a shower too because it was that bad.

I was also enraged at my cat who decided to also try and use my bed as a scratching post to top off the mess she left.

Instead I woke up to my alarm, snuggled between my dog and cat (who ran when I had to roll over) and am thrilled I don't have to call off work with my brand new non-asshole boss to clean up cat pee and shit 😭

Dreams are so fucking weird.

I've seen funny rated R movies where things like projectile vomiting and diarrhea were a thing, but I always assumed the diarrhea was greatly exaggerated because no way a butthole could provide that much force, right?

I was wrong.

Last year I woke up to my cat throwing up. I was very confused but groggily got up to clean it when I saw the hallway. I was horrified because I thought my cat had thrown up her entire body weight in liquid and why was it brown?

It took me a bit to realize it was a lake of liquid shit and apparently my cat threw up from pure disgust after looking at it (which is funny in retrospect).

I realized it was my dog when I let her out and...it was like a hose that you set the nozzle to a jet stream but the hose sputtered. Just pure liquid erupting out of my dogs ass. I was both horrified but fascinated because how the fuck are a creatures insides capable of THAT.

Unfortunately, she got sick when the vet was closed after noon on Saturday and her diarrhea was sporadic and urgent enough that I had to wait until Monday because there was no way I could drive her 2 hours to the emergency vet without unfortunate accidents occurring.

I called off work that Monday and rushed her to the vet and one anti-diarrhea tablet later, her ass stopped full on erupting and it gradually got better until it finally was gone.

I still don't know what caused it but I pray I never have to see that ever again. The movies weren't exaggerating at all 😭

What about everyone else? Doesn't have to be a gross thing.

So I live in rural PA on a property surrounded by acres of woods in basically every direction.

Last night around 1AM I let my dog out and she started going somewhere I didn't want her to be so I said "Hey! No!" and I let out a quick low whistle that raised in pitch.

Right before I finished my whistle, I thought I heard a sound that almost matched the pitch of my whistle. I froze...and it happened again. And again. And again.

By this point I'm internally freaking the fuck out because I've lived here for decades and never heard such a strange noise before. My dog even started barking and it took me a bit to get her inside.

Meanwhile the sound kept repeating. It was rhythmic and sounded like someone was trying to whistle a sonar ping.

I wish I had my phone to record it but I was too busy being worried about wtf reacted to my whistle and decided to make noises back.

Soooo any ideas?
