#I really fucking hate my job

[spiegelgestalt]

i wish i could do that and not feel guilty

It's really important when you're at work to go out there and really give it your 60%. Maybe 35%.

Is it too much to ask for a job where:

1. I get paid well enough to pay my bills, have health insurance and a 401k or pension, have spending money, AND saving money

2. I get a decent schedule, meaning I don’t have so many hours that I feel overworked, but I get enough hours to get the pay from part 1 (32-40 hrs a week)

3. My at least 2 days off are together, and are the same days each week. Also I’m asked before changing it (unless I asked for a specific day off)

4. I don’t fucking hate the job or the people I work with?

Like…is that really so much to ask?

I'm so mad that post was misinformation because there is actually an EXTREMELY important conversation to have about the production schedules artists are forced into. There's no need for exaggeration, the conditions are bad.

I work for webtoon. My publication schedule is weekly. While publishing I'm required 10-15 pages a week. Fully colored.

This means I'm finishing a 150 page fully colored graphic novel every 10-15 weeks.

When my comic is not updating, I am not getting paid. Any time writing, editing, or off is out of my own pocket. I don't get healthcare. They do not provide any assistants. They expect me to promote myself; they chose to deprioritize me before I even launched and gave me an end date half a year in. I never had a chance.

And this is the industry standard! Every company has artists forced into crunch hours, overtime, and burnout. Artists are literally dying early due to it. So many of my friends can't afford to go to the doctor.

It's unsustainable and untenable, and it's also the expectation our audiences have.

If we want to have this conversation, there's plenty of conversation to be had with the realities of the situation. It's bad as is.

Watching this debate is insane because politics is so fake. You can run for president — literally be a presidential nominee — and say "THEYRE EATING THE DOGS" on stage and half of America is just like "yeah this is fine"

I think it would be really funny if rin was the more helpful one around his house. Like u would think rin would be the disrespectful one who always bails on housework or mass but its actually yukio who would always have an excuse not to go or forget about chores to the point that rin just does them instinctively now

Detroit Become Human and why does this game decide that the problem in society is individual people treating androids poorly because those androids are choking them out of the workforce and NOT the corporations and governments who deliberately designed the androids to do this

days since last had breakdown about the fact that I'm 31 and have only had an INTERVIEW for one (1) full-time job in my field- and it wasn't even in a part of my field that interests me -in seven years of looking: 0

forgive the brief jesus chris superstar rant but. there is a very important difference between the pharisees being villains and the pharisees being antagonists. they're technically antagonists because they're actively working against the interests of our protagonist, but i don't believe they should ever be played as villains. they're not evil or bad or wrong. they're terrified just like literally everyone else in the show is, and their actions are completely justified. to me that's the entire point of the musical. it's not about christianity; it's about the impact the roman empire's brutal and violent imperialism had on everyone on all levels. including jesus and judas, but also including the pharisees, and even herod and pilate. when a powerful coloniser forces their presence on innocent people they are the only winners. everyone else suffers, even the puppet kings and high priests who look like they're reaping some sort of benefit from it all. that's roman propaganda. the romans kept native rulers like herod and caiaphas in power to maintain the illusion of provincial autonomy, and keep populations appeased and therefore under control. everyone in the show is acting out of fear of the romans. the one roman character we do see (pilate) is acting out of fear of his own emperor. it makes no sense to cast the pharisees as two dimensional Bad Guys, especially when the same productions that do that usually offer a sympathetic portrayal of pilate. it would be so easy to stage and direct a production in a way that makes it obvious that the pharisees are doing what they're doing because they truly have no choice, and not because they're pure evil and want to kill jesus for the sake of it. it's not only an antisemitic trope but also undermines a really important theme of the musical. if you can see the humanity in the violent roman governor installed forcefully on conquered land then you can afford some humanity for the pharisees too. they are victims of pilate and victims of rome just like everyone else

Peach is my wonderful, beautiful, perfect, sassy, cuddly, loving cat. She is 12 years old and as she enters the senior phase of her life, this means that we need to be on the lookout for health concerns, and guess what! We have found out today that Peach is diabetic. And we have found this out while I am not able to afford her care.

Thanks to the AI boom, the transcription industry is drying up because if there's one thing these things are good at, it's transcribing audio files. I haven't received any work from my supervisors for three weeks now and that's not likely to change. And though I have been submitting job applications for a couple of weeks now, I haven't heard back about any of them. I'm not giving up and I know that something is going to come in sooner rather than later, but right now I can't afford to pay my current bills, much less this new cost.

Here's the breakdown for the cost of 1 single month of care. This includes her insulin ($140), her syringes ($20), and her prescription diet ($70). Cats are highly likely to have their diabetes go into remission, and if that happened then we would only need to maintain her diet—still expensive but far more affordable—but to get there, we need to see if this treatment will work, and that can take time.

I've set up a Ko-Fi goal here so you can see how much I still need to pay for her cost of care. I know that this is a miserable time to ask for donations and that we are so fatigued on giving already, but I legitimately have no choice. Until I can find work somewhere, I desperately need help.

Reblogs are appreciated. And here's one more silly photo of her as thanks for taking the time to read this post!!
