#sorry @ cousin asking 'do what you love or get a fat salary'

just want to say that the salary range of one of the jobs I applied to today was $118-140K, which is such a laughably stupid and unfathomable amount of money that I just shut it out of my brain until I was pondering idly just now
my salary right now is $54K. my only-touch-this-money-for-research-costs stipend is another $15K (so yeah I have access to $69K per year, nice). i can't IMAGINE making basically my entire two year postdoc of pay... in a year.
like I know you get paid better out of academia but holy fuck it has NOT been sinking in
#this is like BUY A HOUSE money#and BUY A NICE NAP-ON-ABLE COUCH money#and BUY THE CHAIR THAT COSTS A MONTH'S RENT RIGHT NOW money#and MOVE TO DENVER WITHOUT NEEDING RELOCATION COSTS BECAUSE THE JOB IS REMOTE money#is this how people like. afford children???#also my god the realization i had just now that before taxes i make $26/hr is also laughable#this does feel like the appropriate minimum wage.#i live comfortably! except when i was having to pay an extra 1000-1500/mo to visit my mom!#or when it comes to having to buy my own healthcare and trying to find a therapist!#it also makes me feel better about going 'six hours? yeah that seems like a good enough work day'#anyway i'm going to go to bed. tomorrow i have no participants coming in. damn them.#but it also means that maybe i'll roll in with my now monday-ly jimmy johns for lunch??#i'll see how i feel.#it also means i'm only moderately fucked by staying up this late#sorry @ cousin asking 'do what you love or get a fat salary'#having been incredibly underpaid the last 10 years i can confirm that a fat salary >>> doing what you love#becuase here's the thing i can do what i love when i'm NOT earning a fat salary#and having a fat salary and benefits means i'm more likely to actually be able to do what i love

6:01 am
Still,have windblow...
Though,tight I will buy food just today in the pantry as a sign of respect that I got a salary, though it is super tight or blown by the wind already... Just for today, no pack-lunch!
As always, I'm thankful for the free coffee that I got in Teleperformance Molino, Disney+ account...
Spare my life... But I'm so blessed to get a free coffee in TP...
Uncle Jun is always observing me early in the morning...
On my very first salary, I did buy a one meal in the pantry during my entire cut off... I need to thrift and to save money... I need to pay my creditz.
6:14 am
Still,have windblow...
Still, on a weight management but I'm eating... Preparin' to take off,in a lil while...
Will he say this? Cute cousin white the white one! The cutie men like Garrets, Daniel Marsh, Matthew the preacher guy??? My crushes on youtube... Hahaha Crazy morning! I do feel ugly and wrinkled... I need to work and save money... I really wanna travel...
youtube
I'm on my make-up now... For Disney+ ... A desparate housewife said it is women's armour....
I feel ugly and old, I still wanna do nose perfection!!!
7:30 am
Still,have windblow...
Hersh just called me awhile ago and asked a favour if she can borrow 600 pesoses, I replied sorry coz I have stress money now... I paid my loans... But Ms Anj gave hint on group chat the some people will no longer attend probably, I'm not saying Hersh is a bad person....
My money is really just small angels.. I told her to manage her money coz me? I just borrowed from Tala apps and from my dead friend Ely.
6:15 pm
Still,have windblow...
Before going home just here in our house, I refill a free coffee from the coffee dispenser of Teleperformance ,Molino....The employee there told me you can refill before you go home, I said really? I feel shy and the employee said no it is ohkay...I said yeah! Before going home, I'll get a coffee today and I said Thanks! I love coffee so much... My addiction and to lift my self-esteem, my uppers hahah....
My normal routine when I go home here in our house, I always buy a coffee, my uppers coz I have some task to do here... We don't have helpers and I don't have a yaya anymore...My energy drink...
This lunch I bought a "Carbonarra and Buttered pumpkin or buttered Squash" wow! It is so worth it to spend for that food and so yummy! Wow! Super delicious... I love the "buttered pumpkin"...
I feel heavy and full after eating it both... So, I took my biofit tea ( laxative ) for my health routine, waiting to poops tonight... Suddenly, I feel fat... Tomorrow will have pack-lunch.
This is Abi or Muas Ab Guiapal that's a new found friend there a muslim guard... I know he is only 22 years old... He wanted to be a call center agent, he is planning. I told him, his salary is bigger than mine! I worked in Conduent and I've known ate Wena and we became friends in a way, she told me her salary...
I told Abi that once you join us here in calling or chatting it is "Single Sign On"... meaning no being together beyond mutual thing coz we are all poorish...The Disney+ wanted the people to be awakened that life must be in style... That our salary is for us to enjoy not yet a money to find someone coz single-dom is what Disney+ wanted if we can't really be in style or if we can't be in a middle-class life.
6:41 pm
I want Abi to be my friend and I know he just want me to be his friend. I told him that I need money and my life now is totally different compared before that I didn't really wash my undies... I know he got what I meant... Though his facial expression was somehow shocked... That was the truth...
Hmm.... What else? Daniel the work-force was not there... I don't know there was a weird thing happened to the system...I don't know if others had the same thing... Like my aux that I tagged as inbound suddenly went to chat. That I entered the email address but it wasn't appearing... We didn't know the work-force today... There was a woman and 2 men on the work-force platform.
I badly needed this job coz I don't have money.... It was somehow stressful but I have to manage for me to earn ...
It was a good call with Laverne Carson ( I hope so, she can help me to lift my score ) coz Ms Anj was a bit weird... Isaac told me 80% is fine already, Sir Matthew said 85% is the passing but Ms Anj said it must be 98%... I'm already on 92%... That I should take care on my survey.
Laverne Carson had a Disney Trio Bundle, what she wanted is to remove her ESPN. As Sir Matthew confirmed and Kate, they just told me to do cancel and resubscribe... I did the cancellation and I walk her through to make a sign-up again in Disney+.I think she is a black girl, she was actually nice and understanding.
My chat that supposed to be call, suddenly went to chat... I hope it is something positive... The case was someone created her an account in Disney+ but I figured out both account were cancelled on HULU and pending on Disney+. As in no way to verify and why will I verify.... But client request for a password reset and I did... I asked her how did she know that she had an account that was open by someone. She said I received something from my mail.
I'm sitting beside Nang for the entire day... Mars and Angel were just on half-day today... What else? Darlene is on her maong jacket that I like and I said your maong jacket is really cool!
I need to manage my weight again.. I hate feeling heavy... I still want to be fit and be pretty...
