I'm hiding in the work toilets, because I don't feel like working. Hopefully my boss will notice my absence, and tell me off so I can explain myself, and get some leave without pay.

I did the same yesterday, I was alone, doing the job of 3 people, because my oxygen thief of a work colleague didn't say he was going to be away for the first part of the week (he says personal problems, but I call BS), I thought he just did a runner and quit. I went and called Lifeline because I felt like blowing my brains out. Didn't really help, but a shoulder to cry on is always good.

Scanning parcels for a group of braindead contractors and trying to get a whole bunch of other parcels done for a number of other drivers is the most soul crushing job ever. Everyone at work talks about rugby league, but I don't follow it, and no one talks to me. Supposedly another facility has different types of jobs (processing mail and parcels with machinery and stuff like that), and their staff are slightly more into IT (like me). A friend got a job there and tells me about it.

I talked to the manager about my problems, but didn't get the chance to ask to change. I want to tell my manager on duty, but he's always busy, and I really don't want to f**k him over, but if I don't escape, I'll go nuts and kill myself.

I feel like Milton from Office Space - invisible and silent.

What do I do now? Do I need to get sent to a psychiatric ward for people to know that I'm in pain?

If your boss is busy, try sending him an email. Maybe you could go on medical or psychiatric leave due to stress?

Yeah, ending up in the psych ward isn't likely to illicit any tears, especially if you're working for who I think you're working for.

And if you are working for who I think you're working for I suggest finding another job, STAT!
