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

DOES MY FAVORITE 33 YEAR OLD BOBBY GRILL (gender neutral) HAVE A JOB???????

yeah his job is being cute <3

#ask box #oc art #oc: sidra #ok the for real answer is that in obey me-verse he gets to get away with being unemployed as long as he's not being too much of a nuisance #and like getting decent enough grades and whatnot. he probably only really takes on odd jobs here and there for pocket money #he definitely had a job in the human world pre exchange program that he didnt like very much #i dont reeeeally know what that wouldve been (sorry mel) but if we're going true self insert route he can be a graphic designer i guess??#i think its less that he hated the job itself and a moreso a combination of not caring and not getting along too well with his coworkers #in ex and bee-verse life isnt as good he has to work <///3 i imagine he juggles like 2 jobs... and hes still broke oops #part time at the detective agency and part time doing who knows what... probably a shitty service job i dunno #he probably could go find a job that pays a biiiit better than the agency but a) hes a simp he cant do that and #b) no other job would be as chill about him taking naps on the clock even if he finished all his work

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

yesterday i saw an apartment in like what's considered the best city to live in here esp for young ppl (so it's got extremely expensive rent. as you can guess) and it was decent. the landlord was very like. pushy? and a bit aggressive to the point that we now got the text from the real estate agent we went through where he convinced him to be flexible with our terms and prices and such. but bc of his vibe i said no. but this apartment was lovely and in an extremely insanely good location (and he agreed to lower rent to a price you might find in cheaper neighborhoods or cities). however. part of me also got scared bc idk if i can live in this city...... i simply do not have the tel avivi temperament i don't even smoke weed i'm not even vegan.. idk if i could handle it.......

#the issue is. in the city i do want to live in. there's barely any apartments for rent. mostly for purchase #bc it's more for families and ppl who are planning to settle down there for at least a few years #they're also just built bigger bc of it so prices go up with that. so this is all very unfortunate for me #however tlv is very much filled with apartments to rent. most of them awful but also most ppl don't care as long as they get to live in tlv.#there's also the city my friends live in which has a lot of young ppl too lol. due to its proximity to tlv with significantly cheaper rent #but it's very popular bc of that. and many buildings in it are so old that they have a bunch of issues (as i see in my friends' apartments)#like very weak water stream lots of power outages in winter and leakage on top floors etc #no elevators in most of them too so i have to settle for first floor which . i really don't wanna #it has cheap neighborhoods too but without a license and a car they're kinda impossible for me to live in 😬#this is why I've been looking for months but anything half decent gets taken super fast 🥲#the apartment i mentioned last week i think? got signed in the day or two where we passed the contract to a lawyer to see if it's okay #being careful doesn't pay off either...... but unfortunately since it is my first time leaving home i am Scared and ig so are my parents #anyway this is my apartment hunting ramble/rant for the day 😔 ignore me i'm just . suffering #at this point i can picture where exactly on the map each neighborhood is -_- even in cities i don't know that well

just saw a fanacc posting a caption saying that eunseok's parents deserves a daesang for best collaboration bcs they birthed eunseok lmfao (BUT SO REAL)

oh 😭 i'd never get sick of the "his parents high-five whenever they see his face" type of tweets and this one takes it to the next level

#ddolbox #casually nominates eunseok's parents for the grammys #they raised him so well too damn #i'd be asking korea's government to pay me if i raised a decent man!

This is the first year since I've started working where I work where we have not gotten a pride collection and it's honestly kinda making me want to find a new job

#Even though right now I don't think there's anywhere else that will really be better #Which is depressing #Like it would make my life worse for a bit if I quit because I make an actual decent amount compared to min wage #like min here is like 7 something and I make like 14 which is not amazing obv but alot better then starting somewhere that does pay min #(or more likely like 9 because I know when I looked a few months ago most listings had like 9)#And the store manager knows and understands me well enough that my hours are good for me and consistently the same every week #But just oof still pisses me off so much and makes me want to run #But also with the state of everything right now change sounds even more scary then usual

Store managers said even a few minutes overtime will be a write up

I'm calling bullshit
