anyone else feeling fundamentally incapable of adjusting to society. also just discovered there's a 30 tag limit which i can't believe i've never hit before
#like it was one thing when i was in high school and college like wasn't socialized as a child due to not receiving schooling and growing up#sda blah blah whatever but like i'm almost 27 and i am barely functioning lol like i feel like i'm struggling to have a normal conversation#even more than i used to and i think my speech cadence is noticably off which i don't think it always has been#some of it is definitely from chronic exhaustion from having to get up too early and the stress of having a frequently panic inducing boss#but like. come on now. i can't even drive despite finally having a license because i'm too scared/distractible/poor reaction time#over a dozen antidepressants have not worked. adderall is not working great either#i'm SO much dumber than i used to be and it's driving me quite literally insane#i don't even think it's from getting covid in july because i was noticing it before although it definitely became way more noticeable after#i got this job. i've never been this bad at a job in my life and it's something anyone who knows me would assume i'd be good at#it's embarrassing. i cannot fucking remember anything i struggle to do the most basic of arithmetic to fill prescriptions i make the same#silly mistakes multiple times i am constantly asking stupid questions and still somehow fucking up all the time#it's not as bad as it was a couple months ago and frankly i'm shocked i haven't gotten fired i keep thinking that's going to happen#of course i wanted to quit this job four months ago but now i'm at like a sunk cost fallacy point unfortunately#this is obviously not like any kind of career position for many reasons but i don't know what else to do unless i move across the country#again. i'm not even qualified for anything besides animal related things and summer camp which are fine obviously but not great if you want#things like benefits or paid leave or not to get burned out as hell lmao#i don't even feel like i could do any customer service jobs because i literally struggle to put a coherent sentence together on the spot#everything is so slow. soooo slow i'm literally losing my mind which is catastrophic because my mind is all i've ever had going for me#and i'm having kind of a horrible existence lately which is exacerbating all my problems except the problems make it mostly impossible to d#anything to fix it. ok going out and doing some fun stuff for a day makes me feel better that's great. except then i need a day after that#to recover from doing things the previous day. so the only feasible day for doing things would be saturday. except on saturdays i'm#recovering from working. i literally only work 4 days and barely over 30 hours it's Not that crazy. i mean the boss is crazy and the job ca#also be crazy obviously but 30 hours a week is minimal compared to other work schedules i've maintained before#anyway but the most i can do after work is go to the store if i need to but i almost never have energy for anything fun#and the fucking bus doesn't run on sundays and walking miles to get literally anywhere takes a lot of energy i don't have#i'm about to move next weekend and i'm dreading it because it's going to be so much work and i'm so fucking tired#and i don't have any friends to help me with cleaning i might be able to get help moving my stuff but i'm not even confident about that#i might have to rent a uhaul but i would honestly rather pay somebody to help because i'm that scared of driving even for one 30 min trip#whatever....sorry i had to feel bad for myself in the tumblr dot edu tags again i'm not in therapy rn#(<- guy who should be in therapy)

I forgot to do a Week 4 Recap post this week but she's crushing it.
#dogblr#rory borealis#she's honestly turning into such a cool little dog#we focused more on cooperative care and conditioning this week#since it was xmas so i wasnt motivated to go out#anyway we started pivots balancing exercises and proper positioning for square sits#also worked on combing clipping and nail grinding#this week's victory was really good name recognition and learning to ask for things (food training outside snuggles)#next week's goal is more neutrally around pinecone and starting on polite greetings (all four feet on the floor)#she has her last set of vaccines and starts one of her puppy classes and has a puppy grooming session#im excited to see what she learns from them

The Rings of Power Summer Celebration 2024
WEEK 4: June 18 - 30
Another week has passed by, which means a new prompt!
This one might seem intimidating at first sight, and we who are not gifted at music need to think outside of the box.
Some examples what you could do:
Simply write a post about what is your favourite musical theme from the show and why.
Lots of you create songlists for characters/pairings, and this is the right prompt for those!
Come up with a fictional Middle-Earth album with fictional song titles.
You might also create a cover for such a fictional album.
If you are a visual artist, you can translate the way the music makes you feel into colours and/or patterns, or draw/paint what it makes you think of as you listen to it.
If you choose a character song you could also draw/paint what you associate with that specific character.
And let us not forget that Ainulindalë is part of ROP canon, too, so you might write a drabble / fanfic where it is mentioned.
Simply write a post about what is your favourite musical theme from the show and why.
Lots of you create songlists for characters/relationships, and this is the right prompt for those!
Come up with a fictional Middle-Earth album with fictional song titles.
You might also create a cover for such a fictional album.
If you are a visual artist, you can translate the way the music makes you feel into colours and/or patterns, or draw/paint what it makes you think of as you listen to it.
If you choose a character song you could also draw/paint what you associate with that specific character.
You could write a fanfic that contains a scene where people are singing.
If you are a poet, you might try your hand at writing lyrics to a fictional Middle-Earth song. Including crack!songs.
And let us not forget that Ainulindalë is part of ROP canon, too, so you might write a drabble / fanfic that revolves around it.
We are sure there are more ways how to interpret this challenge, and we can't wait to see what you'll do!
We would also like to thank to all of you who have participated so far. ♥
This week’s prompt is MUSIC.
Important remarks:
The event is not limited to creators. If writing, drawing, etc. is not your forte, feel free to come up with character song lists, text posts about what you love about a character and why, post a link to your favourite fanfic, reblog your favourite art created by others... literally anything you can think about counts as long as it’s related to the prompt.
There is an ao3 collection where you can post your stories or artwork.
If you do not manage to finish your fanwork by June 30, do not be troubled! You can also post it later.
Remember to tag your contributions as #ROPCelebration24 or #ROPSummer24
You can find more details on the event in the dedicated post.

On one hand I like Beastars because it has some of the best worldbuilding I've seen in anime and the characters are great and the art is pretty
But I also like it because it asks the real important questions like "what if every character in a romantic drama was ace and had weird kinks"
#and by every character i really just mean the main four#yes including Haru.#i don't care if she's fucked every person on the planet that speech about only having sex bc it's the only time ppl take her seriously#is not an allo thing to say idk what to tell you#she's the sex-positive ace rep we need the world just isn't ready for it#anyway good morning. i want Beastars season 3 so bad.#less than 2 weeks left chat

how to feel excited about my own projects again
#writeblr#i need more passion more passion more energy more energy#no but fr#i'm motivated for half an hour every three months#and then i fall back into this passionless state#it's been three years like at some point creativity and motivation have to return?#why not now?#i have four more weeks of no uni#but i'd rather scroll through instagram reels than write?#(i tried the no social media route it didn't help)#it's just with 5 senses i have no clue what should happen in that fourth arc#taoki is too difficult to write#itlot feels meh#and project 4 is nice but also a bit meh#everything feels a bit meh#then i think maybe i am not made for big projects#maybe reading and writing defined a big part of my life but the phase has ended#maybe it will return when i am sixty#and i should try a different hobby then#and sure i can go 'but every word is progress' but that's just fucking exhausting#i could write 5k a day some years ago and feel good about it and now every sentence feels like i am sacrificing my liver#and that's not a fun feeling#and if writing is supposed to be a fun hobby but writing feels like a god's punishment then why am i even doing it you know#maybe i just miss community and stuff. maybe i just need some positive social reinforcement#but guess what i need to do to get that#exactly.#rant#rie rambles#or smth

i think more business owners should look inward when they complain about issues. is it annoying to have to hire multiple times a year? yes, absolutely. WHY do you think the turnover is so high if everyone says they enjoy the work?? surely. no. it couldn't be the person in charge.
#finishing out my first week as manager at this bnb#where my boss complains about how she can't trust the team to keep it together for a weekend when she's away#and like. a LARGE part of that is that you do not!!!! fully train your staff#everyone thinks the cancellation policy is different. that should not be true#when u are the only person who knows the policies. yeah we're gonna fuck it uo#she's bothering the shit out of me during this hiring process too#the last quit bc my boss told her it didn't matter her baby had a ONE HUNDRED AND FOUR DEGREE FEVER. and was HOSPITALIZED!!!!!!#she needed to come in. no ifs ands or buts#so she quit immediately. can't even blame her#i'm currently writing an operations handbook bc there is so much that me n my coworkers simply did not get trained to do#once it's done i'm taking a copy and adding it to my management portfolio#so i can use it as a reference for new positions#bc why the hell have you been open for EIGHT YEARS and nobody wrote down the instructions for making a reservation#this better be worth it. for my career. or i'm killing#only took this promotion so i can move into other management roles later#so i can open my own artist space in 10yrs#this better be worth it............ otherwise i am going to kill you ******** *****. i will hunt u down.#nina speaks

another unemployable trait of mine: working on my resume and actively applying for jobs on the company computers
#ness.txt#i have promised myself to apply for 3 things every shift#sigh!!#my job is not hard but it is mindnumbing and i'm beset on all sides by assholes and dullards#i am very ready for a change of pace#i'm thinking of applying for a position i quit with 0 notice four years ago lmao#they called and like begged me to change my mind .. i was good at it! but they didn't want to pay me#or give me adequate assistance or clearly defined hours#(5 days a week i was working for 12 hours and they were just like ''that happens sometimes!'')#but now it looks like they've straightened a lot of shit out#and i've had time to think abt how i'd apply myself and assert myself differently

Every episode of Ahsoka that doesn't have Zeb in it is a little bit more bearable if you simply operate on the base assumption that he will show up eventually. so you can just say to yourself "it's at most four weeks until zeb shows up. at most four more weeks." it contains the madness
#like imagine four weeks from now zeb will have shown up#maybe it's a little less but the point is four weeks from now zeb will have been in ahsoka and you will be happy#and ofc I'm losing my shit either way but I'm also saying to myself 'it's at most four more weeks until I see canon Kalluzeb'#bc I am a clown and I do believe with most of the fibers of my being that kalluzeb will happen#I will believe it if it kills me#I'm being positive about this one#bc it just feels to obvious and too close to not be and oh look I'm turning into icarus again#about to lose the wings I'm so sure are securely attached to my back and fall to the sea in bewilderment and pain#haha#ahsoka series#ahsoka show#zeb#garazeb orrelios#kalluzeb#star wars

#it speaks#this one in particular is like. if i get accepted it means i get to move in with a beloved#and its also a four day week guaranteed#and its only 9 months long compared to the year#and i can still be like. social and have a social life outside of it and continue to occasionally post deranged shit#but there's only two positions open in this location n they prefer residents of that state over non-residents#and i am a non-resident. so .

#this is all (redacted)’s fault for taking a test FOUR HOURS INTO HIS 12 HOUR SHIFT last week#and leaving us in the fucking lurch#what would possess you to do a test that late into your shift if you thought you were positive#anyway. hopefully this is just a bad cold. :))(

i think the thing about work rn is that i'm more frustrated that i can't understand the logic behind my DMs decisions more than i am about the actual situation
in no way does it make sense that it takes over two months to promote someone already with the company. it's been three weeks since we got approval from our regional manager and he STILL hasn't gotten his promotion
literally what the hell
#like how many times can i follow up about this#when i got my first management position here#it took less than two weeks start to finish#HE ALREADY WORKS HERE#we just need HR to sign off !!!!!#we'll only have two keys in store next week--four of us total--bc one of my coworkers is going on vacation#i told my manager we'll need to reduce store hours to cover#and she was like idk we'll need permission#and now she's out for the rest of the week#thursday and my kids don't have their schedule yet#i'm so sick of ittttttttttttttttttt#nevermind the fact that she had the final say on my key being fired in june#like wouldn't you want to replace her immediately?????#we've had to close early several times bc we don't have the coverage#nevermind the fact that they reduced my headcount down to 7 people !!!!!!!!!!!!#i'm tired of feeling guilty about this fr#it's not my fault and yet i have to take responsibility for it#i need my old DM back T-T#okay back to bg3....

Now I'm introducing a board so she will have clear criteria for starting and ending her retrieves in heel position.
This was just an intro session so very easy, just stand on the board until released. She already understands the board (from her conditioning course) and heel position so it was simple to put them together. Next steps are to fade the big lure onto the board and waiting longer to release her from the board.
It's crazy to think that she's just a baby! Not even six months! She's doing so so so good, I'm so proud of her.
#dogblr#rory borealis#my face#bird dog training#i really want a cato board#but my discount aerobics step wrapped in hockey tape will work for now#so the steps for teaching this were:#follow a lure#step onto a long board with all four feet#stay on a board with all four feet#heel position (on my left side her shoulder even with my leg)#and heel position with eye contact#and then just plug those together!#next i will do a small and smaller lure so she gets into position more auatomatically#then i will unpair the release cue from the kibble toss (so throw kibble wait a second then say okay)#and in the meantime still do flat ground retrieving#and then i will pair the board with the retrieve#small pieces for a small baby#its honestly so cool#it took uhh 10 weeks to get all four feet on the board? maybe 11 weeks?#literally ages#and she's been breezing through everything since then#so interesting to see where she gets stuck#and what comes effortlessly to her#wow i love a gundog#theyre so interesting to work with

made a spreadsheet to better help me visualize how i'm managing my time and u g h i'm so sick of work being the primary activity.
#i'm at least hoping seeing it laid out like i have will help me do better about taking advantage of being able to write/draw at work#(most days anyway)#gonna try the pomodoro technique this week as well and try to get in the four sets for writing each workday#drawing too if i have the time/energy#idk been one of those ''this is the week i finally get my shit together'' weekends lol#talking tag#idk i just miss writing -- and being confident enough to at least post wips and whatnot#like @ myself: yeah yeah yeah we're almost 30 and not where we want to be with art#¯\_(ツ)_/¯ continuing to not make art will not help that#(don't @ me but) i saw a quote on pinterest the other day that was like#''don't be afraid to start over. when you start over you're not starting from scratch - you're starting from experience''#and it was one of those grainy ''comment YES if you agree!'' in front of a character who i'm not positive actually said that but--#it was a fair point#ANYWAYS#kellyn just type your post out all in the main body and just use a read more challenge: impossible
