the funniest thing that always happens to me is that every time we have a customer who doesn't speak polish and they ask me if i speak english i'm like "no, i don't think i do" only to realize a few minutes later that i do, in fact, speak english
#maybe it's because i'm just always super anxious about my skills#or maybe it's the fact that it barely happens so i don't have many opportunities to talk to people in english#so when somebody asks me about it i'm always like “um i do speak english but just a little”#and yet here i am running a fucking blog where i write a lot of shitposts every single day#all of them in english#it's so funny to me cause obviously no one knows this#and i had a customer today and he bought diamond earrings for his girlfriend and our entire conversation was in english#and he even complimented me at the end which was very nice#and my manager was like “oh you speak english? i only understood him when he said bye bye” LMAO#YES LOOKS LIKE I DO SPEAK ENGLISH AFTER ALL#jdsfjewhif i'm sorry i never really talk about this but today i feel like i want to#like every single time i have a conversation in english i'm so fucking proud of myself for being brave enough to speak another language#in front of a stranger#i know i make a lot of mistakes but still#i'm always so fucking proud of myself. for no reason. i just am#anyway the guy was really nice and i guess it's safe to say he made my day#which doesn't happen very often i usually hate my customers#so yeah#i say whatever and whatever that i want*

i just want to emphasise how crazy it is that samdean don’t need or even really want (at times) any external relationship outside of each other. developing different kinds of human relationships with different people is a huge part of growing as a person. and they just-don’t. even when they have the choice and chance to do so-they just choose not to. they really fulfill each other’s every need and that is so. it’s so sick how insular they are and even more so, in some ways, how content they are in that.
#zachariah got it right#psychotically irrationally erotically codependent#i do think that dean likes having friends#he’s social in that he knows how to read and play people#and he thrives on that#he is also#hmm idk how to word it properly#but he forms connections very easily because he’s good at understanding emotions#even if he doesn’t always be considerate of them#i think fandom doesn’t give him enough credit for his awareness#whether it’s about emotions or customs (i can’t remember the proper word rn so this will have to do)#they always mistake his lack of acknowledging them (outwardly) as ignorance#or worse simply forget (willfully?) when he does#anyway this got long#my original point was that sam doesn’t really need to have a lot of connections to be comfortable/content#not in the later seasons at least#earlier seasons he wanted connections specifically outside of his family because he was suffocating (they all were tbh)#and ofc he wanted to be understood#but like i said i don’t think he needs other humans around the way dean does#supernatural#sam and dean#samdean#.txt

fun fact about me is the reason i’ll sometimes unnecessarily append “mr/miss” to the beginning of names here on tumblr.com is that in high school i had to write a “letter” to ayn rand about her book and my teacher thought it was very funny that i kept repeatedly addressing her as miss rand while eviscerating atlas shrugged.
#and it continues to be funny to me and only me#its something about. look i was raised southern there’s all these social customs about titles you’re supposed to keep to#that i. autism. never understood and got in trouble for so much as a kid#so now the idea of calling anyone Mr especially in a nonformal context is the funniest shit in the world to me.#ESPECIALLY now that i can say shit like. Mr Doctor Who. you know. my favorite character. Mister Doctor. Miss Missy. you understand.

Food service worker diagnosis
#talk#Mold is safe to remove in some instances but not most any building with unhygienic practices in one corner has it in the kitchen too#You get given food by strangers any time you go to a restaurant it is not the concept of a person you don't know that unnerves you it is a#lack of regulation and confirmed compliance to safety standards#Which is why everywhere is legally required to have their safety score framed in a place visible to customers#Which btw speaking as a food service worker anything under an 85 veers into serious risk territory because restaurants are stricter on#Inspection days. So really you want to be subtracting 5-10 points from any given rating and judging based on that.#Like I'm not saying high levels of disgust boil down to a lack of exposure to the reality of food service and distribution but I do think#most people would be more confident and thus less disgusted by certain things if they just understood them better#Hence my previous post.

Have been playfully soft launching my transgenderism at work (telling a few people and letting people ask questions when they hear someone use a different name and pronouns for me) but today my manager brought me a name tag and told I had to wear it and it has to be visible at all times and I almost started crying like genuinely so I may just fucking. Make my own label for it that has Parker on it and just fully come out at work.
#he said to me I just don’t understand why your so upset about having to wear a name tag and I like. could have just said well it’s the#transgenderism. he would have been fine with that probably understood or at least been like. normal about it. but instead I hit my vape and#got written up so.#being out at work is so scary tho.#idk what to do. I’ve worked there a year and never haven’t worn a name tag since like. the first week.#and I feel stupid about it too bc like. most people I work with use my deadname but something about having to see it written out is worse.#I think it’s like. if a customer reads it and uses it in an interaction I will want to kill them. and then myself. ya know?#anyway I have a label maker so maybe I just come out at work tomorrow#prsnl

biased opinion but i still do think my voice is a little bit deeper when i talk australian vs my false canadian persona and i find that really funny
#talk about down under#my customer service voice is just hanging on to every R w the skin of my teeth to be understood by french canadians#its a touch more. delicate. bc im actively trying to enunciate but when im in aus i can slur half my sounds and nobody gaf#bc we all talk like that

I’m always paranoid of my tumblr being deleted or malfunctioning or something like that someday, so here’s other places to find me/follow me, just in case lol
~ instagram - https://www.instagram.com/lucalicatte/
~ main youtube - https://www.youtube.com/c/LucaLiCatte
~ games/sims youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@cloudycatte
~ facebook page (I rarely use this because I hate facebook but.. it at least allows text posts better than instagram does, so idk maybe I’d use it more if tumblr went away? lol) - https://www.facebook.com/cloudycatteart/
~ Other Links (stuff I don’t use often/isn’t Main enough to list here, like twitter, neopets, other tumblr sideblogs, youtube channels, etc.) are here - http://icewindandboringhorror.tumblr.com/otherlinks )
#An updated version of this since some of the links on the old one are no longer the same lol#I might make a website website one day (not with a custom domain since I'm not paying for that/dont have the money lol#but like a 'my name.weebly.com type thing lol) but I haven't had the time recently. If I ever get around to it I'll update the post and#reblog that version. ANYWAY.. I just like to have one of these written out to reblog every once in a while. During the once ever few months#when poeple are like 'tumblr is failing again! it wont survive!' which has happened like 80 times but I'm still always like :0c what if!#also love the ms paint art done with a mouse ghhj#ANYWAY.. also if you want to see the stinky game I made that's not actually related to my own worldbuilding really (why I have never#posted anything about it publilcy because it's like.. how do I talk about it lol) I have my itch.io linked in the 'other links' page#as well as my General Projects blog. which talks about all the ongoing and upcoming projects I want to do that are#actually set in my world and can give you previews of some of the things I'm working on. Currently resuming my Game after abandoning it#basically for the entire pandemic and a little before that - as mentioned before - so that's OUgh.. in terms of A Lot Of Work#Especially since while kind of 'revamping and updating' I want to add a few features which are mostly easy but every once in a while#I don't understand something and it's like....... hGGhh...... Ironically despite Blogging I just hate talking to people in public open foru#.. I love privacy and security lol.. and I always feel that ONE day I am going to have a question that has not already been asked on a foru#somewhere and I am going to have to post myself and.. no.. I shan't even imagine it.. It's not even really social anxiety it's just like..#efficiency.. instead of wating like days to get an accurate response and resolve the problem with the general public I would rather just ha#e a one time 30min conversation with an expert and resolve it quickly. PLUS then I also only interact with One stranger instead of Many Of#Them lol.. any 6+ yrs of experience Ren'py experts hmu so I can pay you like $50 to have a single 45min conversation#with me over an insanely simple question and then never talk to you again until a year later when I have a second question. hhjb#ANYWAY.. I still really don't like instagram or it's layout and I never understood how it works like.. if I should be tagging photos or wha#or how you really use it and I just... euGH... stimky.. but it is one of the most popular so I feel obligated to link it. I wish facebook w#sn't such a nasty poo poo because I do actually like the variety of posts you can make and how Pages on facebook operate. In the scense of#it being similar to tumblr that you can make a VARIETy of styles of post. not just Only Post Photos or Only Short Text or Only Video which#is still like.. how the funk does sutff like that even get popular lol.. the Limited nature.. hewwo.. but alas.. and NO way I'm touching#fucking Threads please do not make an account on there and don't let your friends do it and don't let that shit catch on lol.#BUT YEahg... links...... just in case.. i hope tumblr stays aroundin it's current format forever though lol..#I'm pretty sure even facebook doesn't have audio posts. or tags the way this does. or CHRONOLOGICAL FEED. custom html for pages.. aaaaa

tomorrow the owl house ends and i'll be turning in my two-week notice for walgreens so i can start working at a hospital pharmacy for better pay
one door closes, one door opens, yadda yadda yadda, we all know the drill by now
#the owl house#alexandria rambles#my job has been like my personal owl house imo#i've learned there are people who love me for my weird parts and there are ppl who love luz for who she is in the human realm#but the whole thing's about not running away from your problems and while luz needs to defeat belos i need to explore#find ppl who'll love me for me in all sorts of places y'know? i have a feeling the two of us are gonna walk opposite paths and that's okay#bc we both wanna be understood and that's what counts#pretty much decided luz is gonna be the first custom doll i'm gonna try to make#my post

Do you ever get home from work and think “I wonder if I could’ve communicated worse. Probably not”
#first off an alarm went off for the too good to go app; so i snoozed it while my coworker went to put bags together#then when it went off all i said in the most defeated voice was ‘it’s happening again’#picture this. a bell is gently ringing and a barista says in the driest yorkshire accent possible ‘it’s happening again’#the customer was just like ‘uhhhhhhh are you good’#the second thing was when the extra coffee machine’s bucket filled up (just don’t ask) so my coworker took the bucket to empty it#but then someone ordered two lattes and i remembered at the last second that i could only use one machine#so i basically pressed the latte button; put a cup under; then cancelled it while yelling ‘NOOO NOOO NOOOO NOOO NOOOOOOO’#and just. ran away from the coffee machine#the customer was once again like ‘is something wrong here’ and i was like ‘josh has taken the bucket’ which also doesn’t elucidate matters#much and tbh sounds a bit like a metaphor for something else#thankfully she understood and didn’t cancel the order. i feel like i would’ve cancelled the order#a barista running away from a machine while repeatedly yelling ‘NOOOOOO’ doesn’t really inspire confidence in me#special mention goes to when i just clean forgot the name of the plant based milk jug and said ‘i’m going to wash the this’#also when someone said ‘can i have this heated up’ and i just said ‘we can’t’ with no explanation#gerry was already explaining about how we turn the oven off at 3:45 but i was prepared to just fully be like ‘no’#but yeah. that was my day#me being a teacher was just never going to work out… i don’t word good#personal

I know you're just vibing but is it okay to ask what's your fav and worst Louis Tomlinson photoshoot (that happened this year) ?? Also love your hot takes btw uwu 💖
OFC!! the fun kind of vibing! Unfortunately this question does not play to my strengths which barely include knowing what year it currently is let alone what happened when and also photoshoot analysis SO I'm just gonna pick something that maybe definitely is not what you meant....
I really like how they went to that half torn up house* to shoot the OOMS video** and were like we're gonna make a DAY of this and knock out SO MANY THINGS AT ONCE and then did that. I found it very entertaining to watch the endless trickle of various different things filmed and photographed on that day appear (if they've stopped it was VERY recently, the last track by track only came out a day or two ago.) Best part ofc being seeing how many different tops they packed for Louis to change into, I picture him in a weird empty room with a clothing rack pulling shirts on and off between 20 minute sessions all day (and then having to have his hair fixed each time.) They did at least two full photoshoots in there off the top of my head (the apple music photoshoot for which you can see a mysterious wire Louis is holding as if he were using a wired remote shutter, I still want to understand, and some basic 'FITF out now' ones that were used for interview backdrops and spotify and stuff), all the promo video spots for different platforms and countries and stuff, the music video obviously, the footage that played on video screens behind him in album release interviews, the track by track interview.... I can't remember what else. Maybe some other stuff too. Anyway I really did like those apple music pics maybe that would have been my pick anyway!
*this is apparently just a house people rent to shoot videos in or smth??? IDK I have questions, but I saw that one of the indie bands defending Louis on twitter in the most recent dust up (Crawlers, if anyone wants to go thank them or whatever, they're a girl band even) were like funny story we shot our video in that same house. Someone should go find out info about the place for me us all from them!
**the director of that video also shot the Silver Tongues video and wrt to that one he talked about how surprised and skeptical Louis was when he said he'd only have to be on set for a few hours, rather than like 16: on the one hand, given how much they did other than the vid that day assuming this was the same, otoh guessing this was one of those 16 hour days
Least favorite photoshoot hmm I pick the X Ray cause you know ouch... although tbh I kind of liked getting to see it 🙈
#truly I can make even the simplest question a 1k post 😞#thank uuuu anon 😘#also I saw at least one other person get asked this about Louis and Harry and in contrast to mean anons#who are like you said this you support so and so about things I have never heard of#the customizing based on my actual content made me aww#maybe it was in part because your keen understanding of my posting style meant you understood#that asking me to talk about TWO things would result in a post SO LONG...#😭😂

I will once again use this as an opportunity to exclaim we should abolish daylight savings and just pick one time thing and stick to it. I don't even care which at this point. Just pick one and stop arbitrarily changing the clocks
(also it's even more heinous that we all don't have the same daylight savings date. Missed some morning work meetings last week because Poland has daylight savings a week earlier and the Poland team has made the meetings which pushed the morning work meetings into OTHER ones that I couldn't reschedule and it was really confusing and dumb)
(and some places don't do daylight savings!!!)
The whole time system is insane and whoever came up with it should be punished
#i mean i also think we should abolish all timezones and work off of one univeral timezone and just Adjust As Needed#times are arbitrary numbers#if i go to work at “8pm” or whatever because that is when the sun rises relative to all the Single Timezone#then like thats fine. its just a number to track day progress. we have made it all needlessly complex to coordinate with each other#when are you available? 10am? what timezone do i need to convert that when is your countries daylight savings or do they not do that?#its a mess#plus my favorite timezone yukon time which was a timezone for a while then got abolished in like the 80s or some shit#and it merged with the alaskan timezone. so we are in the late 80s with yukon time at utc-9#then at some point like during the pandemic they went fuck it we want our timezone again and made it permanently utc-7#because of course going from pacific time and observing daylight savings to mountain time no daylight savings is normal#anyway i had to make custom code for a major retailer because at the time yst didnt exist as a valid java timezone#but it was the code for some stores in the db and i had to convert it to something that was understood by the system#and now all my work is for shit. wonder if they had to go and find those little bits and rip them out#and this is why timezones are bullshit
