okay I can't find my original post from a month ago but remember when my boss gave me an unedited book chapter without a single reference and was like "pls do the bibliography just based on the last names and dates in the text, we never wrote down any of the references lol"? well today my colleague who also worked on that chapter (and who was my LAST HOPE of a hidden folder or word doc or Endnote file or SOMETHING) is back from her holiday and confirmed that they never wrote down any references because all the 70+ texts they reference were "texts they know by heart anyways and don't need to write down" and when I kindly asked her to look over the biblioraphy aka the alphabetical list I have complied of Last Names and Years and give me some hints, she could tell me what maybe 10 of the references were so that means I officially have to start my treasure hunt for all the lost references no one remembers. SO. MUCH. FUN.

#ramblings #life in academia #and that's gonna be the kind of textbook students pay way too much money for bc they need it for class #idk HOW they work like that it drives me mad #just write down your goddamn references WHILE you have the tab open

i don't understand why plants are a basic gift like this feels like smth you should only give someone if you know they're actively looking to get it (and then you should also get a specific type they may be looking for) or if they're already known as someone who likes plants. if i move out on my own and you get me a plant as a housewarming gift i will send you home with it immediately

#wow thank you for giving me... extra work and bugs...#dgmw i get WHY people like it. it's the fact that it's considered a BASIC gift that's driving me mad #bc it feels like a very specific gift to give only to someone who is already interested in it. do you get what i mean here??#extra bad when someone has cats. my mom got flowers for her bday from multiple ppl and our cat obviously started eating them #also weird to me that the other basic adult gift is a bottle of wine. like smth you give someone that you *don't* know well #what if they don't like it. what if they don't drink. how do you give someone a gift that's reliant on taste in any way #i am so confused by the custom of gift giving!!!!! i don't get it!!!!!!! 😭😭😭 none of it makes sense #all of its rules seem to be counterintuitive to any piece of logic i hold i swear.#sorry for being extra autistic today idk what's going on but it is what it is

FIRST SHIFT AT THE BAR NEXT FRIDAY SHE'S REPORTING ME TO THE ACCOUNTANCY FIRM TOMORROW

#it's the night after the h.e.a.t concert so that could be a bit stressful but i already had to push it a week further away #she originally would have liked me to start this friday because she would be alone or with only one other bartender i don't remember exactly #BUT I PRETTY MUCH GOT THE JOB IN THE BAG HELL YEAH NEXT WEEKEND I'M OFFICIALLY POURING DRINKS AT FUCKING PAUNCHY CATS #AND GETTING INTO CONCERTS FOR FREE IF I DON'T WORK THE SHIFT ON THOSE NIGHTS ANYWAY AND GETTING DRINKS ON THE HOUSE #MEETING ALL THOSE COOL BANDS AND PARTYING WITH THEM AND HAVING A FUN JOB #now my mom is a annoyed/mad at me because i'll have to use her car or need someone to pick me up but idk i think it's doable after a while #and in case i can't get home afterwards because of the weather or nobody can pick me up again after driving me there or i'm sick #the boss offered me to sleep at her place next door or at her son's second house he's partially offering to the bands to sleep #which i hope i won't need but how sweet is that 🥺🥺🥺#well actually her son is the boss but she does the administrative stuff and all and works as a bartender too #when i came in she said i look fancy and before i left she hugged me and repeated over and over that she'd be happy to have me in the team #mel talks

Ignore

#delete later #im depressed again. the bone exhaustion is here and ive had rough evenings for the past week. so that's fun #gonna force myself to go out tomorrow. get a few things and maybe a treet #try some self care maybe. something.#pain is better at least. so theres that. something is like tapping at my mind like right around the corner but i can't get to it #which means im dissociated. but idk whats caused it. or whats around that corner. i can mske guesses that its work #and education stress and the mess that comes with that but not knowing for sure drives me mad #i dont have the screaming but it feels kinda like that whivh means something is like proper triggering me. dunno what it is #so dunno how to deal with it. other than weighted blanket and sleep

wanting to bitch about confusing road laws vs none of your friends drive or will understand = bitching on tumblr.

green lights at four-way intersections should always be accompanied by a yellow left turn arrow as a reminder to yield to oncoming traffic. this is the biggest problem facing our country right now. i am objectively correct.

#liz blogs #the literal only two things i struggle with are at FUCKING intersections #brain problem of 'i know information in theory just not in practice'#this is why we need public transit i am going to get killed and its going to be at an intersection <3 #'oh i am making a left turn and the light is green! better go left!' you foole. you fucking idiot. you utter imbecile.#THERE IS STILL ONCOMING TRAFFIC #BECAUSE FUCK YOU IF YOU TURN LEFT IG #GREEN MEANS GO............... GREEN MEANS GO DO NOT ADD EXTRA ~ * ~ SECRET STEPS ~ * ~#'you can make a right turn on red unless otherwise marked' idk maybe a green right arrow sHOULD COME UP THEN #DON'T MAKE ME ASSUME THINGS WHEN I DRIVE JUST TELL ME WHAT TO DO #FUCK THIS GAY ASS COUNTRY* (* im gay)#if i saw a yellow arrow for the left lane i would remember to CHECK FOR TRAFFIC #i like driving until Intersections then i want everyone to explode except me so i can drive how driving should work #and thats enough to make me Not want to drive Period #I AM GOING TO MOVE SOMEWHERE SO FUCKING WALKABLE JUST YOU WATCH ME #I AM GOING TO PETITION THE GOVERNMENT (i am not going to petition the government)#im so mad im so good at driving until Bullshit ass Nondescript Intersection Lights #(ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻ (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻ (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻ KILL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MANIFESTING.#sorry guys im not over my friendship breakup its been like a year but idk if i ever will be ☹#and i saw her this afternoon and suddenly the playlist i made during peak breakup? oh its so back baby!#which is WEIRD bc i see her like semi regularly. somehow this was the bad one.#but like im GETTING over it and thats what matters. it didnt hurt seeing her and thats improvement!#it doesnt matter that while driving back home i was getting phantom hands around my earrings + necklace like how she used to fix #them for me....im soooo fine #smth smth phantoms ghosts love grief no place to go..do u get what i mean !#anyway. i have work to do. back to it. out of my sad feelings i have very fun math to do <2 and im going to listen to my #mad scientist playlist now

while im procrastinating on my homework im just gonna say im gonna be kind of very mad if that mv she's filming is actually for a midnights track lol i like the theory that its for long live though i think that would really fit if the vid is actually about taking back her work

#crunchyposts #ts #genuinely idk why im getting worked up over the idea that its not for a tv #if im wrong and its not a tv ill genuinely be mad #idk how mad but ill be mad a little bit lol #maybe bc im not super into karma and vigilante shit which are peoples main ideas for what it could be??????#but yeah. i also really like the idea its a way to reframe better than revenge with the revenge being the rerecordings themselves #HONESTLY NOW THAT IVE THOUGHT ABOUT IT A BIT MORE. I THINK IT MIGHT BE BC IF ITS JUST MORE FUCKING SPEAK NOW TV EASTER EGGS IM GONNA GO INS #INSANE #I RAN OUT OF TAG SPACE #LIKE WE ALREADY GOT THE GODDAMN. BEJEWELED MV WE ALL KNOW WHATS COMING NEXT (EXCEPT FOR ONE PERSON I SAW WHO SAID THERE WERE A TON OF 1989 #EASTER EGGS IN THAT VID???????? DID WE WATCH THE SAME VID) AND IF ITS JUST MORE “OOOOH HINTS” IM GONNA FLIP A TABLE #SORRY i just want speak now tv #like we've known for months its the next one coming based on bejeweled. also i think the copyright stuff is being cleared up rn #we dont need more easter eggs!!!!!!! please dear lord just give us a date like red tv i dont care how far away it is its fine #ok. ive calmed down. idk what happened to me there. the worst part is really knowing that somethings coming but not knowing when #i think i am More Fine with speak now easter eggs but. still id really prefer more callbacks rather than hints its driving me up the wall #bejeweled was so clear!!!!!!! enchanted and long live in the background and the koi and the elevator and the dragons #and then nothing happened for months and we were just left in the dark!!!!!!!!

vent ii.

#so i guess i went over the tag limit and didn't realize so half of that vent post was cut off #cool cool #basically i said i think next year is gonna be a year of figuring shit out #probably not fixing anything but trying to figure out ways to make my life.. work better #i also really want to travel next year. because travel is the only thing that makes me feel sane and alive and happy #i already have a trip to amsterdam in the works to meet up with a bunch of online friends and i wanna make it work so bad #so i need to make sure i have enough money for that #but i also want to do a trip somewhere pretty that i haven't been like wales or scotland #or even a road trip somewhere in north america #but i cannot drive and so i can't go alone and also i like sharing my adventures with people #but i don't think anybody wants to travel with me so there's that #i need to figure out another way to make income apart from my shop bc i'm barely scraping by #and i WANT to do barn chores again #even tho it take a huge physical toll on my body i would rather do that than another job bc i can do things at my #own pace and i rarely have to interact with anyone and i can be around horses all day #but to do that i would have to move in with my mom and i don't think she wants me living there and idk how much she would charge me rent #it would also cause a lot of problems with my dad. he would be uspet and bitter and probably mad at me.#and would also try and convince me to stay like 'i'll drive you to the barn every week!' which would be 2+ hours of driving and #him driving me to work every day was part of why i had a breakdown and quit my last job bc he would cause so much anxiety #but my mom is literally surrounded by barns where she lives aND is on a bus route so #tbc

I cannot believe my dad sometimes dude. God forbid I ask him for guidance on something relating to HIS business. I probably fucking fixed it wrong too. Can’t wait for that conversation.

#i don’t know all the shit he has in the rooms #I didn’t know the light had a dimmer #ok so I replaced the bulbs and I replaced the batteries in the remote #(probably put the wrong style of bulb in there too but he has like 15 different styles of bulbs and NONE are the same as what I pulled out)#and now the lights aren’t flickering anymore but the dimmer isn’t working #(the new bulbs are supposed to be dimmable so idk what’s going on there)#the remote works for the fan and turning the lights on/off so I don’t think it’s that #but I don’t know!#I asked my dad for help but he and my mom were leaving for a drive so he got all pissed off at me for asking #the customers are ok with where it’s at for now (a little annoyed that it’s not working but none of us know how to fix it)#like I said. it’s at least not flashing anymore #I’m just upset that my dad got mad at me for asking #like im sorry! if the lights weren’t working I’d know where to start there #idk I’m just in a foul mood again now #cause like. I’m not a mind reader! I don’t know everything!#I hate it here and I very much want to leave #I cannot wait until I can move away again #I love my parents but I cannot stand living this close to them #I’m sooooo thankful I’m not living with them #cause I’m pretty sure I would fully lose it #and they have the audacity to ask why I drive 4hours away every weekend to be with my friends #it’s because if I didn’t things would have gone very south many months ago #yes it’s a lot of driving but I will lose my shit if I can’t get away from this place every now and then #you’d think they get it given how often/long they leave but nooooo #ughhhhhhhh
