I’ve(27m) been a receptionist at an FQHC for a little over three and a half years now. When I started, the front office manager was super friendly, chill, and easy to get along with. I loved working for her. Well, she left back in June 2025, and was replaced with the literal devil.

She is the world’s most obnoxious, micromanaging, judgmental, arrogant woman I’ve ever met. She has made me cry multiple times because she takes my experience in the office as a threat to her superiority. She has yelled at me in front of the entire office and patients, belittling me for small mistakes. She will refuse patient’s care because she has decided that they don’t deserve it, when we legally cannot refuse care. She will hover over everyone’s shoulders nitpicking everything we do, embarrassing us in front of the patients.

I would say that I’m just bitter because I interviewed for the position and didn’t get it, but literally everyone in the office hates her. Even the clinic director is lowkey regretting hiring her. I don’t want to get a different job because I live half a mile from the clinic and my husband works across the street from me, so it’s super convenient. I also don’t want to lose my insurance. Idk, I’m just trying really hard not to crash out everyday and walk out. I dread going to work every morning.

Thanks for hearing my rant.

So the past few weeks I’ve been feeling as though Hades has been trying to reach out to me. Before this, I was always open to the possibility of this kind of thing, but it’s never happened to me before.

I guess I’m just trying to see if this thing is normal. It’s like all of my thoughts have been leading me to him. When I think about him, it feels like a warm hug from a dad. Not going into details, but I never got that feeling as a kid and it feels like he is saying, “it’s alright, I’m here now for you.”

My best friend is a practicing pagan and is taking me to one of the metaphysical shops here and is going to help me build my first altar. It’s all very overwhelming but I’m excited! I also lowkey feel like I’m going crazy? Like, it’s all so new.
