Some people do kinda suck but I find a lot of joy in giving people really specifics compliments at my job and it makes their whole day sometimes c: 💛

#I had a very enthusiastic conversation about a lady’s hair and the way it was cut #she cut it herself!#I often like to tell some women that their purse is very nice and they’re usually very proud of their purses I’ve found #I will tell some people sometimes that the color of their shirt is so fitting for their skin tone and was a great choice that day #I expressed once to a customer that I loved the prints of his shirts and he came by one day in this one particular shirt #hoping I’d be there apparently because he wanted me to see the shirt because I love his style!#it’s so nice #I had a lady blushing once from head to toe because I said she looks like the perfect example of a woman #that face every artist draws for that reference #she was so beautiful #haha I like compliments on men’s facial hair too!#they’re proud of their facial hair a lot of the time #even soemthing as simple as they look amazing for their age which I’ve said many many times #like I said some people suck and I have yet to truly meet the bad eggs but man I just really like seeing them light up #when you compliment the littlest things they put hardly any effort into and think maybe nobody will even notice #I like pointing out those things

In the wake of the IA situation, I've seen a lot more posts circulating about using your local library and I just. Sigh

#i dont know whether these people are thinking of Big City libraries #or their local is the most well stocked most accommodating library known to man #but my library consists of mostly kids books and ww2 skinned romance lites and james patterson thrillers #if youre lucky theres some pop history books on the tiny shelf in the back #oh also the opening times? 0930 to 1700 of course. yknow. when most ppl are at work :)#oh except sunday. when were just closed ;)#trying to get the library to bring in a specific book? sorry that'll be nine months and we'll send it to the library #in booksbury-upon-tyne which will cost you a £30 round train ticket (if the trains are running ;)) and a three hour journey #(cause were swr and life is a fucking nightmare)#im not doing that for a book im not even sure will be relevant to what im looking for yknow #i guess what im saying is that while i love the concept of libraries #they havent really evolved with the times. theyve been what theyve been for a millenia #and the intellectual value they were built to provide hasnt kept up with the funds theyre actually allocated #now i will say these are kinda complaints specific to me cause im not the biggest fiction reader #and if i am theyre mainly classics so my gripe is more with the proviso of non fiction books #and the variety of them which is incredibly narrow #and i dont drive so the intersection of this with the hellscape that is south englands public transport network also sucks dick and balls #like i realise the library provides a lot of necessary resources for older people and kids and those without internet access etc.#but that does leave a large swathe of people with little to no reason or time to visit the library yknow.#i dont blame the library workers of course but i also dont think its the visitors (customers?) fault #that there isnt a great incentive for them to visit #especially since i have found most of my fave nonfiction books in second hand stores #which would have either cost £80 new or would have been locked ina university library out of reach of the common folk #whatever. ramble ramble yada yada. ev complains again whats new

It really sucks when a barista at the little stand you get breakfast from most days of the week who you normally have a good vibe with is shitty about a homeless person right in front of you and now you don't even wanna get your coffee there.

#That reads quippy but like it isnt first world problems I actually have a huge problem with that #With like telling any customer that the crackheads are the worst part of the job #And you had to kick one out of the bathroom this morning #Like I get it #Its normal to feel scared and unsafe in these situations #But when your voice is devoid of empathy for them at all and you sound jaded about it #Idk that sort of #I see both sides and Id want people to feel safe #But like now Im taking their side #Because like they are sleeping on the damn sidewalk and dont have a societal safety net #Maybe I overthink this or am just sensitive to it bc where Ive been but like #The hardness in a persons voice when they talk about how much it sucks dealing with the unhoused #Lets me know they aint someone I would trust #If that makes sense #Like I thought we were cool Stephen but #You actually bordered on contempt in your voice talking about booting out quote crackheads #So like I kinda look less at you now sorry man

me praying to get any kind of IT job and now just being so embarrassed that it happened because I DONT FUCKING KNOW ANYTHING? like you'd seriously think i would but i dont know a goddamn thing. a coworker watched me struggle to turn back on a monitor that went into sleep mode today. i couldnt find the fucking button on it. like i want to kill myself over that and i wish i was being funny but im being hilarious. they watch me fumble putting in my password on these 2000 goddamn websites i have to have accounts for for some reason AND they put me on the phone to squeak mousily at angry people who are calling for higher stakes problems than the library (but that part wasnt that bad bc most of them i got to just transfer the call)....i just want to SCREAM. i just want to scream because of the enormity of my incompetence. but its not even that serious. but it is. it is

#im making it sound hard but thats whats funny is it totally isnt. its so easy. its so easy im almost mad. its boring. ITS BORING!#and old guys keep telling me cutting my hair is 'part of growing up' i wanna gag.#and my coworker talks to me about 'guy stuff' that i wish i could have it in me to fucking care about. I HATE CARS!#i mean i do care about custom pcs. but IM STUPID!!!!!!!!!!! SO I DONT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THAT DESPITE WANTING TO BUILD ONE.#im making it also sound like im having a miserable time but its complicated #and its giving me like a gender crisis but not like im not trans just like i cant stop feeling like a failure at all things gender #FTM as in failgirl to man this guy sucks #if i was more secure in myself at all i wouldnt let shit like that even bother me. but it dooooooooeeeeeeees #i attained no confidence and im starting to think thats impossible at my ripe young old age #is it ok if i have a crisis and blog it. do we still do that here

not my rheumatologist cancelling on me AGAIN 😭 i got absolutely no sleep (like 2-3 hours) and woke up early for NOTHING bro 😭😭😭 and this is after having just finished super weekend at night job aka the very PEAK of peak (Christmas) season, which also means being in the middle of working 11 days straight (minus Christmas Day which we have off lol), with this last HUGELY busy weekend since it's one of The Big package shipping companies . Not necessarily complaining about THAT specifically given that I have no day job rn and the extra income from night job is the only thing that's gonna save me and let me have rent for next month fdhgdh but STILL lol, I NEED the rest man OTL

AT LEAST she opened up appts this Thurs for reschedules, instead of having to wait weeks this time, which I insanely appreciate. My initial qualm is not even necessarily being the cancelling itself, just that this is the second specialist to very recently reschedule on me 2 times back to back, and if you deal with medical specialists, you know the challenge of getting in tdghdrhdh

#luckily I'm not the type of person to be pissy about it especially to staff who are just doing their job #because having worked so much customer service and having also dealt with rescheduling veterinary appts #for a doctor who called out or had to leave and etc i know very well how much it fucking sucks #having to be the staff forced to deal with rescheduling people #since a lot of the clients get SO MAD AT YOU for it as if you specifically can control the doctors life lmao #and like yeah man even doctors get sick or have emergencies come up they're human too #LIKE WE ALL KNOW IT SUCKS SO SHHHHHH #like absolutely feel free to be upset about it and even express that to the staff like they understand #but there's no need to be an asshole Karen over it 🥴#that's why i get to complain just a little bit just not to the nurses forced to reschedule the appointments lol and on tumblr.com instead 🤣#okay idiot go back to bed it's been 2 hours now even tho SIGH now I'm gonna sleep the entire day until night job i just know it 😔#chatterbox #delete later #since this is just my silly little getting my petty complaining out srfsrfdh

its been over a decade and i still cant believe streaming has never figured out how to let users create programming blocks. its just a playlist. please it would be so much better than this lmao. i genuinely think that the forced interaction when even choosing background entertainment or some kids cartoon is part of the attention economy where everything just wants to distract you into interacting longer

#like the number one thing in my adhd thats helped me be more productive is having set times where im thinking and planning #and at other times im referring back to my plan so i dont have to stop and think and get distracted #ie: 'okay im going to make lunch then wash dishes then clean the kitchen. thats like 2 hours. im going to put 5 youtube videos on my up next #then i just hit play and execute my plan and i dont have to sit and fuss with youtube between every video and get distracted from my tasks #in the same way that i wish i could just say 'show me 2 episodes of this then 2 episodes of that then a movie while i draw'#idk i just hate that everything sucks and is so uncustomizable bc of apps and locked interfaces!#this is supposed to be the god damn future!#you could customize your myspace page more than you can your fucking iphone #aaaaaaa [old man noises]#anyway

#work has sucked so bad today #my friend left work and then after he left two of my coworkers mysteriously disappeared for awhile because my friend is a manager now #and they always switch up when he leaves #there was a big rush and customers were yelling i debated on quitting right there #because wtf is wrong with you guys its so selfish to leave like that without even telling someone where you're going like what the hell #they are also so disrespectful to me and i seriously think they're being misogynistic i mean ive been coworkers with this man for months #and he just called me makayla ??? thats not anywhere close to my dead name bruh

and yknow what. saying this as someone who has been in a work environment where i was ACTUALLY the only one who knew what i was doing and i was the only one capable of keeping things running, including the person who was technically in charge of me*:

even if izzy was right. even if izzy was the only one who kept ed's ship actually running. hell, even if lucius, pete, and wee john were actually slacking off when there was important things to be done!!

you do not effectively lead a team by yelling at them and telling everyone how useless they are and how much they suck. you don't get people to get off their ass and do their fucking job by screaming "BITCH" in their face. you don't!! get things done!!! if you just stand there and tell other people what to do!!!!!

*which is v much not the case w izzy and ed but i have seen this written into some fics, for some fucking reason

#sorry i know i said i wasnt arguing that izzy is bad at his job lol #i kept it off that other post bc that's not about how good he is at his job. but man...#having been in the “im surrounded by idiots” only-competent-employee situation everyone describes izzy in #i gotta say that if izzy's job is primarily managing people. he fucking SUCKS at it #txt #meta #mine #og #izzy hands #izzy critical #ofmd #our flag means death #ofmd meta #anyway the work experience was retail pharmacy and let me tell you. big-name pharmacies are a fucking shitshow #the turnover was awful so we were always staffed by people who didn't know what they were doing #i was only there for two years but turnover was so fast i ended up being the lead employee somehow #so i was ACTUALLY in charge of making sure people did their jobs. unlike izzy in e5 lmao #and when our pharmacists took vacation we'd have a substitute pharmacist come in and they almost always sucked #sometimes the sub pharmacist was worse at their job than the people who were there on their first day #i was on my feet all day and i was yelled at by customers non-stop and there's literally no way to count people's prescriptions fast enough #especially when you have new employees who count the fucking pills one at a time #and yeah i had a few coworkers who were like. always on their phone or always chatting instead of doing their job #and it was VERY annoying. even when they were nice and i liked them as people i HATED working with them #somehow i found the inner strength to not be a dick to them!! crazy stuff!!!

Nothing gets the blood pumping after an hour or two of sleep like a notification that your exoensive package has arrived at 10:14am, only to waddle out front and... not find it...? Searching the house in a growing panic, then catching a glimpse of the post man scurrying by the front door to slip it in the mail box at 10:23am :')

#ANYWAY THEYRE HERE THEYRE HERE !!!#ill share with yall the photos once i can give my partner their ring >:3c #re: getting us custom stamped promise rings #also not sending bad vibes to the post man hes just doing his job #its just insane how it all worked out jfjsbfnsbfnns #mailing system strikes again! neurodiverse folk are Quivering in anticipation (and fear)#sucktacular sucks #also WOEEE of course it had to arrive a day after they were here u_u #they dont live far but we'll probably have to wait a day or two before i can see them again BLEH #i prepared a special gift to go seamlessly with the rings and im sooooo excited huhuhu he's gonna Cry #(positive)#the artist that did them did such a beautiful job btw

(Chainsaw Man Spoilers)

AU where Aki survives Part 1 and now not only has to deal with the existential horrors of his new state of being but is also incredibly allergic to dogs, so he lives in the apartment next door to Denji, Nayuta, and their dozen-or-so huskies. (He’s not as allergic to cats, but Meowy likes Denji more than him.)

#he walks Nayuta to school and shit. co-parenting bros (since apparently Kishibe just. brought Nayuta to Denji then ditched)#what’s up with that?#Denji reading parenting books versus Aki spiraling for the third time this week #they switch roles a bit because Denji is better at ignoring constant stress/guilt and adapting to large changes than Aki #Aki is used to being in control and the freedom/agency that being human allowed him. now? he’s lost that.#and he’s been turned - against his will- into a manifestation of the devil that killed his family/he hates most #so like. that sucks.#self-hatred to self-acceptance arc (for both of them in different ways)#Denji would be the type of dude to saw a cat door in the wall separating their apartments [positive]#also if public safety wasn’t aware of his death (again. creative liberties.) I have no idea what entry-level job he’d manage to put up with #I think. he would bully customers.#exclusively does organizational/stock room work #and I think that Denji does hero work while Aki handles crowd control (while avoiding any use of his new abilities whenever possible)#csm #csm aki #csm denji #chainsaw man #csm spoilers #chainsaw man spoilers #csm part 1 spoilers #chainsaw man part 1 spoilers #meposting #my csm thoughts #Aki lives #I think. they should both rest. everyone in chainsaw man needs a hug and a nap.#(except for himeno. she needs to be studied.)

cleaning my room is so much effort but oh well its not like anything could have been done to reduce that <- FOOL WHO HASNT CLEANED IN OVER A YEAR

#this is not a moral judgement on myself or any others. for the record #i had other stuff going on and even if i didnt that is between me and god #that said. jesus fucking christ man. i didnt really register how bad it had gotten #i am slowly finding things that i thought had been lost to time which is good but also hahaaaaaaaa oops #its fine. every day is an adventure for me. tomorrow i have to finish cleaning around my shelves and then start on the desk #because if i have those two done then everything else can be sorted away nicely. it only gets easier #fuuuuuuuuck oh i have to work out moving my dice shelf dont i. it didnt even register but like i do have to take that. it was custom made #thats the only furniture i have actual emotional attachment to everything else in here kind of sucks #i will miss my bookshelf a little bit i did save her from doom but she will serve better here than she could where im going #sorry we have got to that point of comfortable on tumblr where i just start fucking saying anything #original post placeholder tag

me: yeah so we haven't had a meeting about it yet, but I asked my coworkers about past interns and why they left; chances are they won't hire me full time at my internship immediately. However, the chances of having it extended are pretty good, and I like what I'm doing, and they're going to be talking about budget in July. Sure my finances are a little tight but--

my sperm donor (only slightly exaggerated): look for a new job immediately and tell them if they won't hire you full time you're leaving. and no, I don't care if you don't find something in your industry and you have to settle for a job that will make you hate being alive even more than you already do. Also I'm going to ignore how long it took you to find this internship to begin with

me:

#dylawa rambles #dylawa rants #this man gives zero fucks about actually seeing me go into what I fucking trained to do he just wants me to make him money #i am literally sick to my stomach right now thinking about job hunting again #'i want to see you successful and happy' okay why are you still charging me rent then #why are you making job hunting even more of a traumatic experience than it already is #literally said to him 'I don't trust my chances of finding a new job within two months' and his response: 'oh well go work customer service #it took me MONTHS to find just this internship and it's a miracle it's paid at all #it's in a nice office with nice people and i have my own computer and they feed me almost daily!#i'll live another six months in this hellhole if it means I get a guaranteed post-internship job like this #is it the ideal job? absolutely the hell not #the commute sucks i don't have work from home so i can't get away with doing other shit on the side #i feel limited in what the role requires of me vs what I'd like to make #but good fuck it's better than food service or retail #but nooooo he needs me to be his little rent cash cow without him feeling guilty about it #very tempted to bail even if it means I start eating through my savings a little bit #I don't know if I can go through the daily interrogations of 'did you apply? why aren't you hearing back? it's your fault' again #i have somewhere to go but I'm trying to keep it very 'last resort' territory #A) it would make my current work commute twice as long #B) it would require completely burning bridges with my old man bc I'd have to move out in secret #not just because i don't want him to know where the people who are sheltering me live #but also because if he saw that place even if he was willingly letting me move out he'd say 'absolutely not'#because I don't trust him not to do something weird. not necessarily DANGEROUS but. weird.#I want to burn all bridges someday!#but even now that I own my car it's still not the safest course of action #I'm so sick of being stuck dawg!#dylawa vents
