you know what's annoying? this guy at work is going to force me to be an actual supervisor for once, because his productivity is so shit and I think he's actually leaving work early almost every day (I and the rest of the team leave the office before him). Like I am an extremely easygoing supervisor. If you get your work done and get the number of "results" we need per month, I don't give a fuck what you do because I assume everyone on my team is an adult who can manage themselves. But his results have been mediocre to bad and I finally looked into his actual productivity, and he is very clearly taking advantage of my leniency and I'm so pissed that I now have to act like a supervisor. Like fuck capitalism and everything, and I'm all for getting away with working as little as possible, but you still have to do your fucking job. I'm pissed that he's taken advantage of my kindness and I'm pissed I have to think about my own job security and UGH

#the constant battle of #i work for a corporation #vs i hate the bloated capitalism we are in #but i also still need a paycheck #like genuinely I fuck around half the day #but that's because I'm very good at my job and can get it done in about 30 hours instead of the 40 I am forced to work

How's waiting for the plane going? Wanna tell us about a frivolous purchase you don't regret one bit?

BAD I had a nice window seat tucked away from the crowds and then someone stole it when I went to the bathroom 😡😡😡😡

Honestly I very rarely end up regretting my frivolous purchases which is really a relief considering how often I make them sjdhsks most recently I took those impulse commissions so I could hit up the craft store before this trip, which turned out to be really lucky timing because I didn't even know they were having a Memorial Day sale so I was able to get way more stuff than I'd expected!

The white fur and minky are specifically for trying to make a realistic plush of my dog that I'm still mourning since 2020 😔 the fur isn't long enough for a life size plush but should be perfect for a little one. And then the quilt squares are just for fun, I used a couple of those to make the little dog for my dad and I still have MOST of both of those fabrics so all ten of them are gonna last forever lmao

#ask #rom speaks #trickaprilon #i think on my next paycheck I'm also gonna get the fabrics for the sea cat. I feel more motivated for specific projects when I already have #all the supplies. even if there are steps i still need to do before actually using those supplies (ie testing patterns)

Magenta...

#I'm in a conundrum #so i have covid again #started showing symptoms last friday and into the weekend it got worse #i have missed a week of work #and i am getting better in some ways but not others #I'm still very much in the thick of it #i already told my boss if I'm still showing symptoms and no signs of getting better I'm going to the docs on Monday #she cool with that and has been very accomodating #but idk wtf im gonna do about bills coming up #and the higher ups at my work place ended covid protections and covid pay ie for the days you'd be out due to covid they'd take care of you #said higher ups also tried to pressure my boss into convincing me to come in on Tuesday at least #i can't in good conscience show up to work even if masked if I'm still having symptoms #I'd feel horrible if i gave it to my colleagues and especially the kids i work with #but also the you're one paycheck away from homelessness thing is digging my head #but i also need to take care of myself #idk man #idk wtf to do i feel trapped and I'm going insane because of it #help? police? murder? advice?

Officially been unemployed for a month now. ✌🏻

#it’s been nice to have a break to be honest #i’m in an extremely fortunate position where money is not a desperate issue at the moment #also helps tremendously that my student loans are on hold right now #but yes i still need a job #i need that structure and purpose #and of course the steady paycheck

Real question should I drop $300+ to visit my friend who I haven't seen since June even tho I don't have a job yet ,,,,

#bc like on the one hand i want to have a paycheck before i spend that much #but also once i do have a job it might be hard to get the time off #my therapist said hiring slows down during the holidays so it might be harder now anyway #she was kinda pushing me to go but also understood that its Expensive™ lol #bc i still need to save money to move . and im gonna move to live close to them #and its been months and i still dont have a job #but its been even more months that i haven't seen my best friend :(#AND her parents just got a new puppy!!!!!! i need to see the puppy!!!!!!!#but .... money :(

shouldn’t have checked my bank account as expected my mother has taken thousands more dollars from my savings and has almost run me dry more or less. Cool!

#I’m going to fucking call the bank and ask about a second checking account because she’s never going to make her own fucking account #it’s been like a year since she said she would and it’s just not gonna happen #she owes me thousands of dollars via me paying her fucking overdraft fees and she always says ‘what you think I won’t pay you back?’ no!!!!!#no I don’t!!!!!!! because you literally never have!!!!!!!!!!!#and where the fuck are you going to get like 8000 dollars anyway. because that’s what she owes me at the very least #even if you want to factor in like. paying her monthly for the groceries she buys and cat food and whatever that’s still. thousands of #dollars. and the worst part about it is I just have no safety net anymore #because my savings is basically nothing at this point. like nothing that can help in a dire situation anymore.#I keep thinking about whatever im going to have to end up paying for top surgery and I WOULD have a significant amount saved up to #contribute to that but haha! no I don’t! it’s fucking gone!#and I’ve been getting paid basically fucking nothing lately because of how few hours they’re scheduling me so that does not fucking help #my last paycheck was literally like half of what I should be getting. I made like 1K in the past two paychecks. that’s fucking depressing #anyway I’ve given myself a headache #I’ve been avoiding looking at my bank account because I knew it would be bad and it’d stress me the fuck out but I also have been anxious #not knowing and my mother making a few vague comments that implied she must have fucked me over. so I checked today and yeah she sure did #if I don’t make a new checking account that she can’t access i am actually going to be broke within the nenxt few months at this rate #my head hurts and I am so upset I am so upset I work so fucking hard and it doesn’t even matter i just lose money constantly #I get nothing I just pay her fucking fees and pay for my tuition and pay for everything else of any significance #and I am not exaggerating I work my ass off. I am the only person I know at my job who begs to work holidays and extra days and stay as late #as possible and it . doesn’t even matter #im going to kill myself I swear to god. there’s shit I need to buy. what am I supposed to do.#kibumblabs #vent #like shit I need to buy for WORK. my manager is getting on me about not having proper shoes for example and yeah I can get a discount #through shoes for crews but I still dont have the fucking money for anything anymore #not unless I want to run myself into the fucking ground #I need a new binder badly. I need new black pants also for work since mine are so faded at this point.#I only have one fitted sheet that doesn’t have giant holes in it #I can’t stop thinking about my last paycheck it was literally the worst I’ve seen since starting this job a year ago. fucking infuriating

guess who didnt realize/forgot others could see their profile on roommate websites and got messaged by someone asking if i was still looking for a room when i dont actually plan on moving until much later this year 🙃

#multiple reasons i cant move sooner: health insurance. phone. not enough money to sustain myself yet #i did check anyway tho and the apartment offered was. a LONG 2 bus rides away from campus & my work #so even if i was looking. itd have very likely been a no just for that unfortunately (im hoping to cut down on commute time not increase it)#i did feel a lil bad tho and IMMEDIATELY paused my account 😅#i only created them bc i was getting a feel for how those sites worked more than anything #and also seeing if i could find someplace cheaper than $850/month since thats all my sib found and #that is an entire month worth of paychecks #i do not plan on spending that much on rent alone. i need to eat AND id like to still have something for things i enjoy #anywho i wished her luck but uh yeah im gonna have to tinker a bit more. see whats there to hide my profiles for now #or maybe just openly tell people like 'i actually cant move until much later this year ive only just been familiarizing myself w these sites #so unless you can wait that long...' bc i dont wanna waste people's time nor my own yknow?#anywho #amber's shit you can ignore

oh no. i feel like if i do not consume an entire load of bread in the very near future i will simply cease to exist.

#very uh. very worried about my finances right now #like. i'm fine. i have some savings. but i also just got to put something into my savings for the first time in a VERY long time and now #now i immediately have to take it out #and i'm getting stressed out about buying groceries #because if i dip into my savings here what about there? where is the line?#and i owe so much to taxes but i can't exactly afford getting less of my pay......#my last paycheck was $0.66 more than my rent #my insurance is refusing to reimburse the last of my electrolysis visits from last year and like #i'm SO over the fight but that's $120. that i really actually kinda need?#and i'm starting to get that funny in the head feeling about wondering how i'm going to feed myself #i still feel so much shame about that funeral i went to years ago and my only thought during the reception after was about #how there was just so much food and i could actually eat my fill #i have leftovers for dinner tonight and it's fine but.... making a lovely vegan dish wasn't the best choice tbh #i feel like if i don't have a large helping of bread and meat i'm going to go insane #and it really REALLY doesn't help that i've apparently lost the ability to eat in the mornings #so i'm at quite a significant fuel deficit and it's stacking #but no matter how hungry i am in the morning the concept of processing solid food is just repulsive and daunting #eating a clif bar at 9am would take literally all of my spoons for the day #i was looking at protein shakes since i can handles *drinking* breakfast #but the cheapest one that meets my dietary requirements is $35 for a 12pack #and i'm uh. i'm worrying over spending $10 on produce this week #personal #and nevermind that i don't have the spoons to even GO shopping (:#(on an aside i switched back to my regular melatonin gummies last night and i Actually Slept. so hopefully that will continue and help some)#i just want to curl up in a ball on the floor and have someone gently place a roll of bread and hunk of cheese next to me in my enclosure #also it's photophobia season and i still feel like i haven't recovered from saturday #got too much sunlight and was nauseaus for half the day #my body feels so bad

excuse me????????

#just pav things #in what world is that a discount 😭 just sell it at full price at that point #yes i am in the market for a new laptop. when i get hired in october i'm saving my paychecks for one #(yes I graduate in october which makes it a shorter school year by 2 months but that's for another time)#I have my eyes on the aorus/republic of gamers stuff specifically #mostly because i'm still traumatised by the lenovo's untimely fate and how i was screamed at while having a panic attack abt it #and also i want something that is powerful and girthy #i wanna play my silly viddy games on it and also have it not look fragile and breakable by my hands #ergo i am the target audience but maybe for the lower-range/ mid-range stuff ^^;#then i can upgrade later but I do think i need to be rid of the current one asap #I hope it can last *checks notes* 7 months without spontaneously exploding~#......says the person who TOUCHED the battery and immediately understood it is FILLED with toxic gases with that level of bounce #Pav just makes bad decisions you all should know that.

Beginning to really wonder how much of my financial concern is manufactured and handed to me as opposed to something I'm genuinely concerned by

#bc like. i'm getting by just fine. i don't have anything to be reasonably worried about #but also when i was a kid my father would break down my mother's paycheck and basically explain how broke we were #and that May Have Affected Me Somewhat #as well as just. the way you consistently see the advice to just save! don't get takeout! necessities! and i'm not intent on living like #a monk nor am i intent on being on that grindset for financial gain #it's like i don't intrinsically care but i have so many messages given to me about how i need to care a lot and it puts me in a weird spot #i am simultaneously standing still and moving at mach speeds #i mean right now i just need a safety net while in between jobs; after that i need to save up to move out of state bc the uh #political situation and upcoming presidential election don't seem very sustainable for someone like me anymore #they weren't to begin with but i don't wanna stick around to see how bad it's gonna get #but it's like. okay and then what? save for what? going back to school i guess? idk #i feel like i keep asking myself what i'm trying to accomplish and keep trying to force myself to have answers #here and now when i have to be okay with taking things one step at a time instead of having everything here and now #it's simultaneously fine and terrible and i am holding two conflicting yet equal truths #i feel i may have a clearer head once i leave my current job. i'm trying to look but nothing feels appealing given how #burnt out i already feel. i dread going back into my workplace and i fear it's showing to the patients and i don't want that #i want a month off to rediscover who i am as a person outside of getting yelled at in retail and then pick something back up #could be feasible. genuinely could be. i need to sort out the health insurance aspect but. that's lowkey the plan?#to construct a financial safety net and then slam on the breaks for a while; see if i can strike up a deal with the staff about me #coming in for specific tasks bc we already know i'm quick and efficient with the inventory so i do have a little leverage #you know what. this is getting some of it off my chest and i'm starting to feel confident again lmao #i won't be doing weekends starting either next week or the week after so that's a start! i just think i want everything done right now #bc i'm afraid i won't have the chance again but i will. i definitely will #i just need to let myself get to that point; it's just the immense drain from the register work and the Everything that comes with retail #also having to accept that it's okay to leave this; there's not something wrong with me like. ''not being able to handle it'' or w/e #no mindfulness or detachment could've saved me; it was shit and i'm hitting the bricks and that's all there is to it #i've been thinking a lot about it all lately bc it's what's most prominent in my life rn of course #idk. pondering. introspecting. as i am wont to do #anyways if you've read all this you're a real mvp and i am kissing you on the hand #shai speaks

I have a job interview tomorrow, I feel good about it, and if I get it, idc, I'm adopting that one kitten I've been looking at for weeks.

#Eli Speaks #is this a smart idea? probably not but it's a motivator #but also i take adoption very seriously and id be responsible about it if i did go through with it #her name is orange blossom and shes so wittle 🥺#shes a 4 month old calico baby and i need her in my life #so yeah if i get it my first paycheck is going towards that baby #also I'd be working from home so i could still spend time with her even with job stuff

Anyways, back to the normally scheduled boring ass content:

I ran into a deer on Sat. I'm fine, deer is not, car needs repairs. Insurance is ready to pay, rental company is ready to get me into a car...and the repair shops are all so backed up I can't get in for 3 weeks. And it'll probably take that long for the parts needed to get in, regardless, because the supply chains for car parts are still messed up.

I'm just going to do my best to baby my car along as much as possible since the rental coverage is limited and I'd like to only use it when my car is actually in the shop. ✨ Capitalism works so good y'all ✨

#truly I'm lucky but ohhhh my gods #also i need an award for the number of times I've had situations that caused professionals who have been doing their jobs for decades #to look at me and go i know it's not your fault but I've never seen this before #car guys were freaked the hell out my car is still running #there's still a chance it'll be totaled out but at least i can get a few more paychecks in before i have to deal with that

Pray for me folks... I'm going back to Harvey's

#emily speaks #this is literally the worst but i need to have a paycheck #my parents have been chill about me being at home but i still have credit card payments and student loans #but also it would be nice to be able to save enough to actually find a place if i find a real job #so yeah back to garbage fast food work but at least its garbage i know to expect #the harveys curse has struck #(for reference during high school/early twenties it was an ongoing joke that people who worked at our harveys were cursed to return)#(so many of our coworkers would go to another job and be back in several months) (i thought i had escaped)#harveyslife
