Life is so nice if you have a job you enjoy
#every shift I’m more baffled about how nice this place is#I’m so happy i found it and that they hired me#I’m over here making lattes and fancy iced teas and drinks and i feel taken seriously#the colleagues are so nice and the general environment of the cafe is also very nice and cozy#and they pay me decently well#and you can just make whatever drink you want for yourself or even make up your own whenever you want#lije at my old job i was allowed ond hot drink during my break and then one soda after my shift#here you can do whatever you want I’m so happy

i'm not reblogging the whole post again but @zorilleerrant you are so real for this
#there are a great many skills and crafts that do take time effort and whatnot to do decently well#i can verify that. i do SEVERAL myself#costume jewellery is not and will never be one of them#which is great because honestly more people should make things with their hands (if they have hands and those hands are functional)#it's good for the soul#the reverse of 'you're paying me far too much for this tbh'#is that it's probably the ONE thing that you can start doing for yourself for VERY little investment#have nice stuff almost immediately#and feel like a god for beating claire's at the own game

i may not afford a house but i did just spend 140 us dollars on new hiking boots + walking shoes worth 470. so there.
#that DNT membership paying off#new hiking boots alone are worth it - retail 350 can usually find them for 270#had to add a pair that i dont strictly need right now to get the discount but theyre decent goretex that ive worn for months & fit me well#so new hiking boots for half off. new daily walkers for free. good day#boots are nubuck which i dont love but i can polish them up and i like the fit#and it'll let me offload my current hikers and hopefully give them a bit more longevity#otherwise i'd prob have to replace them by the end of next season anyway

no literally this is how its been the last couple weeks
#leaving the call center to start a job that'll give me a 'maybe rent an apartment' level pay increase and a 4 day weekend#antidepressants may or may not be working but I've been able to engage with my biggest hobby in a way that's been difficult for months#got a guitar so now i have ANOTHER hobby I'm having fun getting started in and not being discouraged when I'm not good at it right away#yknow for once. unlike i usually am with everything i try to do#and using a lot more of my second language and realizing that im actually pretty decent at it so i have a new motivation for practice again#also i was just luxuriating yesterday in the fact that i went a whole couple of weeks without any Fucking Things happening#you know how adulthood is just one Fucking Thing after another and every time you finally put out one fire theres like 3 more#well for the first time i went like 2 full weeks without any Fucking Things happening i got to just live my damn life.#so yeah things in late January were actually going really good for me as long as i don't remember every few minutes that#i and my community are at the center of the culture war and being directly targeted by several evil regimes around the world.#avpost

see I can’t accept charles’ comic background and socioeconomic status as canon for the show because if I did that would mean the whole group would be a bunch of rich kids and that’s a horrifying concept
#ranging from vaguely upper class (niko and charles via comic logic) to presumably quite wealthy (edwin) to straight up ultrarich (crystal)#well off but doesn’t own a mansion -> owns a mansion -> owns several mansions in several countries#but yeah that aside. I don’t like the idea of him being raised upper class or even upper middle and yes I know he went to a private catholic#school that presumably costs a decent amount of money but for one we don’t Know how much exactly by that point in time (I’m assuming it was#more prestigious and expensive back in edwin’s day) and it’s not like middle class or even working class people can never afford#to send their one (1) kid to catholic school. like that’s really not too unusual. I know this is an american example but im thinking about#lady bird and her catholic school situation- her family was financially unstable and still paid for Catholic school because it was (in their#opinion) the best offering for an education in the neighborhood (and as someone who lives in the same city in the same Area of the same#city I can tell you that that choice does make sense even for a non-catholic. the public schools round here can be uhhhhhh rough)#so im seeing charles’ situation sorta like that#his dad seems like the type to want him ‘kept in line’ and ‘whipped into shape’ and I think he’d pay for that if he could manage it#idk something about charles is just……he has an appeal by being the Normal Kid amongst them. not raised as anything special. not having all#his needs met. never expecting to do anything super grand with his life. just a city kid yknow#anyway SOMEONES gotta know how to cook. I don’t think crystal or edwin have ever had to cook for themselves in their lives and niko seems to#live on instant ramen and i mean I bet she can cook very basic japanese meals but that’s about it#please for the love of god tell me charles learned some stuff from his mom and can cook an adequate meal#I know ghosts don’t eat but shut up#rambling#charles#dead boy detectives spoilers

Someday, when the company I work for finally catches me and kicks me out the door (I've been here 23 years, and have narrowly avoided layoffs SO. MANY. TIMES.), it's going to fall apart behind me. Because I have so many layers of knowledge that is nowhere in writing because it requires you to know how things worked 20 years ago to figure out why it's not vibing with new things invented today. People inventing new things today do not know they need to know that stuff from 20 years ago, so they don't design the product to work with grandfathered shit. Because ideally, old shit shouldn't be grandfathered for long. Sell that customer new shit! But some customers fall through the cracks.
And I'm the only one who Remembers The Old Ways.
#ltleramblings#this message brought to you#by an account with a product still running from 2003#TWO-THOUSAND-AND-THREE#WE DON'T EVEN HAVE SERVERS THAT RUN THAT SHIT ANYMORE#WHY ARE YOU STILL PAYING FOR IT???#WHO IS IN YOUR ACCOUNTING DEPARTMENT?? oh it's probably ai#well there's yer problem#i deserve to make twice what i'm making#which is A DECENT FUCKING PAYCHECK#but they capped my raises for like 5 years#i should be making 3 figures#i have 3 figures worth of knowledge#pay me more cowards

i know i already posted about this but im genuinely so mad that my car died like i expected it but also buying a new one makes me wanna claw my eyes out
#i also can't be normal about anything and i will obsess over this until the problem is solved bc that's who i am#what i need to do is take a break because it's almost 10 pm and that's bedtime!#i will find something and my parents are offering to help it will be okay#plus i already found one i kinda wanna test drive#it's dirt cheap but looks decent maybe ??#my dad also suggested getting a cheap new one and financing it but the idea of paying $10000+ for a car does make me feel slightly ill#like i know they cost that but christ (well. more than that. but saying an actual realistic number would make me fully pass out)#bri babbles

i was not meant for school or a 9-5 job or a "normal" sleep schedule i was meant to be a house cat
#tried to think of a non traditional or old timey job to substitute house cat but even that felt wrong#i think im just.. not... built to work for a living at all actually#how do people do this shit. every day? for the next 30+ years? fuuuuck dude#like id happily be a barista again if it payed well enough for me to make a living cuz i could have flexible hours and tips#and i genuinely really like the work#ive thought about living off my art in some capacity but i just dont have the discipline or energy or time or . brain. to do that#and it sucks out my soul i think#obviously not working isnt really an option for me though#so id ideally have something i can do while working from home for flexibility#but all of the shit that pays decent i dont have skills for or also sound horribly soul sucking#i just cant win. so im trying to find what the least painful job option is#wish me luck#nyas

#ive been stressing all day about a purchase i'm not even making lol#i have mental problems sjfmsjg#no but for real i was reviewing the tablet i had decided on to buy in the distant future#and found out it's actually not very good for drawing which is the sole reason i want to get a tablet#and i got physical symptoms of anxiety and dread as if i had wasted money#on a thing I DIDN'T BUY#but then i found another tablet which is good for drawing and it's a bit more expensive#and once again i got the anxiety levels of someone being hunted for sport#for another product I DIDN'T BUY#but it's just this horrible timing thing that's making me anxious#because it's a lot of money that i have to spend on this#and I don't have a regular income#and my country's economy is hell to the point that by tomorrow the price could double without warning#and there's also there's some sales coming so maybe i should wait til then#but then also i have to catch the sale and the product i want#and also the holidays are coming so the price might spike up#and i never know when the correct time to buy anything is!!#and this folks is why I don't gamble lol#no but for real... i have been panicking all day and I don't even have a proper reason#i could also live without the tablet very well so it feels like a waste of money in general#so...#i have issues with spending money...#especially because I don't know when it's gonna be the next time i get work#could be next week... could be in six months... could be never again...#if i just could get hired for a proper project woth a decent pay...#ahhh the dream :')#ok i'm gonna go to bed now (if my stupid ear '''''infection'''''' lets me...)#life is hell but at least i got to boop people today <3#angel talks#personal

It's one thing to ask someone to replace items due to a mistake, it's another to make someone replace an expensive item that was less than a third full at its full value.
#for context I accidentally left the refrigerator open at a friend's house#and her husband has a huge bacteria phobia so he won't eat anything if it's not properly stored past four hours#I left the fridge open at 1 am and he got up at 6 am. So. Five hours.#(Keep in the mind the dude eats medium rare meat too lmao) (and also the fridge was open by like an inch)#so i was embarrassed and I'm like yeah anything that needs to be replaced ill be pay for it it's on me#well one of these things was this ridiculously expensive little bottle of omega 3 oil#And when my friend went to dump it in the sink it wasn't even half full... like a third if THAT#But as someone who doesn't use that shit I didn't think anything of it#LO AND BEHOLD i found out at the store it is close to 45 dollars#And I just buy it because I said id replace what my friend think needs to be replaced#But she knew how much it was and didn't warn me that I'd be spending that much on that bottle#Idk it feels a little... if it had been me I'd just ask for 20 bucks to replace the remaining contents BUTTTT I'm different i guess#Also while we were cleaning out the fridge she accidentally left the door open too and I could tell#She was a little embarrassed given the way she'd come off being accusatory in her initial morning text#Like yeah girl mistakes happen and you have these giant water crates where the door handle is#Kind of hard to close the fridge unless you remember to put decent force in everytime#Which i wouldn't since I just got here#Anywayyy I will no longer be buying her lunch tomorrow gjgdgdyfuihih#I'm also taking a picture of the fridge after I close it every night for the next five days#Because I am not going to pay for that shit again#venom thoughts#text post

I like how in my life I went from: "I am intrinsically different from other human beings because I'm smarter and a better person than everyone else, but I will always be alone for it, though" as a child, to "Well, people are very different and not everyone is as bad or as dumb. There's lots of people who are worth it and lots of people who are good and smart. It's not just me!" as a teen, then back again to "I am intrinsically different from other human beings because I'm smarter and a better person than everyone else" as an adult. And yes, I am on antidepressants.
#liveblogging my life#people are so fucking stupid all the time#my cousins were having a conversation on Christmas over chatgpt#and one of them (a PHILOSOPHY teacher) was talking about how to catch students using it#and my other cousin (a techbro insufferable programmer) was like “well but you use it right?” and my other cousin was like#“yes to help me with menial tasks but you need to have knowledge and critical thinking to be able to use it properly so i can't have#and my idiot techbro cousins went “well if it gets to the point where AI does everything students won't need to learn how to do stuff#without it right?“#yes let's make children stupid on purpose and unable to live without technology on purpose#that sounds normal and fine and not insane#and my teacher cousin didn't even fight it he just laughed#BRO YOU ARE A TEACHER#i know none of us want to be teachers we were just humanities idealists who had to take the teaching path bc in spain it's decent pay and#job security#but I still want to feel like I'm teaching something#that I'm giving my students something actually valuable#the world literally feels hopeless everything is just a soulless giant corporation that doesn't produce anything valuable#as in actually valuable not money valuable#all we can do is stuff that lines up some billionaires pockets but never our own and never helps anyone instead makes everyone's life worse#and you will go to the therapist saying stuff like this which is a very accurate assessment of capitalism and the world#and they will go “hmm” and put you on antidepressants#and i love my therapist she's amazing but I'm just lining the pockets of the clinic she works at to rant
