#and older ladies was nice

[canisalbus]

My mother and I went to meet this dog today. She's a senior dog with a skin condition so her legs are hairless. Her name's Harriet and she was previously in a pet hoarding situation so she just hides in the closet for most of the day, I thought you'd like to see her.

.

#oh #darling #Hairless Harriet #it breaks my heart that she had to live through a hoarding situation and it left her skittish #I hope people in her life are extra nice to her now #especially since she's an older lady already #answered #fields-of-nightshade #dog sightings

Somehow I can see Yata getting a puppy crush on some older woman, like some mother working at little store. He gets like super protective of her when some punks loiter around and bother her customers. She always gives him little snacks as a thank you. Homra squad finds this out and laughs at him saying he has a thing for milfs LOL but I can also see this as a sign he's just missing his own mother.

Aw, poor Yata (but also he and Akiyama can have unexpected bonding over their perceived love of MILFs). Imagine this maybe not too long after Fushimi leaves, Yata’s moved into his own apartment and even though he won’t admit it he is kinda lonely and homesick being suddenly by himself. As it happens there’s like a small family-owned convenience store nearby and Yata stops there a lot for emergency groceries and bandages when he scrapes himself skateboarding and stuff like that. The wife of the family is often the one running the counter and she’s very pleasant and talks nicely to Yata, he’s a little nervous talking to her but since she’s more his mom’s age it’s a little easier. She probably thinks Yata’s even younger than he is so she’s very parental towards him when they chat, wondering if he’s eating okay and shouldn’t he be in school. 

One day some of the Homra alphabet are coming over to his place and as they’re all on the way Yata says he just needs to stop real quick at the store and buy everyone some drinks. As he walks over to the convenience store he sees the lady is out sweeping and some random punks have come over and are harassing her a little. Yata is immediately right there, like smashing his bat into the wall right next to one of the punks as he steps between them and the convenience store lady and glaring at them as he asks the lady if these guys are harassing her. The guys end up beating a quick retreat, especially once the other Homra members make it clear that Yata isn’t alone, and the convenience store lady thanks Yata for “always being such a helpful young man.” The Homra guys grin and rib each other as Yata blushes a little and says it’s no problem. The lady lets them have their drinks for free and even gives Yata like some extra snacks to take with him as a thank you.

Afterward at Yata’s place the guys are all laughing, like who knew Yata of all people was into older women. Yata’s super embarrassed, arguing that he isn’t into older women he just wanted to help. Chitose nudges him all didn’t think you’d be a MILF hunter and Yata looks at him blankly like what’s a MILF. All the guys are having a good laugh and Yata just tells them all to shut up, his face is so red and he doesn’t want to talk about this anymore. But really as embarrassing as it is he feels like it would be even worse if he admitted the real reason he likes the convenience store lady, it definitely wouldn’t be a cool Homra thing to admit that he misses his mom and the lady reminds him of her (though then imagine one day he stops by with Anna and she doesn’t tease him at all, just smiles and says she understands).

#Yata Misaki #Talking K #aw Yata bby #I could sorta see this too #like especially once Fushimi leaves and now Yata's really living on his own for the first time ever #and he suddenly really misses his mom and just kinda latches on to the nice older lady #having no idea why people keep teasing him

I’m not posting about it, because there’s nothing I can really say to describe what’s happening or help, but I am keeping up with current events and. God, this is awful. I hate this. I hate what happened on October 7th and I hate what’s happening in Gaza now and I hate the dehumanization of Palestinians and rank islamophobia that’s spreading worldwide and I hate the antisemitism that’s spiking worldwide too as though it’s going to counter the islamophobia in any way, and if there’s a reason hate exists I have to think that it’s for hating things like this. This isn’t both sides-ing it because as far as I’m concerned, Hamas and Netanyahu and the Israeli government are all evil and on the same side, and there is no justification on earth or anywhere else for what they’re doing, while all the regular Palestinians and Israelis just trying to live their lives are on the other one, and it’s the people with the least power—the people in Gaza—who are suffering the most right now. There are so many kids.

#current events #I just #I keep thinking about the excavation director’s family #and the two funny old ladies #and the nice older Bedouin gentleman who drove the bobcat #and the couple on the train #and the muezzin I could hear calling for prayer #from our camp before we’d start digging for the day #and wondering if any of them are okay #and the answer is no #I don’t think any of them are

sending waves of shock throughout my workplace by mentioning the guy im seeing. they all believe I'm a lesbian. my boss is going to come in next week to gossip with me about it I just know it.

#jay says a thing #its nice bcos i dont ever get the 'ohhh do you have a boyfriend yet?' questions from the older ladies that my younger coworker gets #but!!! i like this boy!!! i want 2 talk about him!!! #work rambles

I never understood workplace fridge drama and nemesis behaviour because it was like surely we're all adults here and can be mature and responsible about things right?

And yet there's this one lady who REGULARLY microwaves fish (a crime, and also the grossest smell in the world To My Sensory Issues) and, perhaps more annoyingly, ALWAYS leaves her chair untucked and in the walkway of the (very small narrow) kitchen. Like. This is a grown woman. She has an 18 yr old child. She works in the finance department. Surely she's at least SOMEWHAT competent

Don't even get me started on the state of the dishwasher, kitchen sink & recycling bins - apparently a collective effort at complete childish disregard

Once again. I must stress. I am SIGNIFICANTLY the youngest person here. Most everyone else is married with children, often ADULT children. Like. C'mon y'all.

#the duality of fran #i work with a building full of children???? #except it's worse bc theyre adults and should know better #also the housekeeping lady isnt ur mom??? #ik ive said it before but the way some middle class ppl treat housekeeping staff #I WILL KILL YOU OVER IT. BE NICE AND RESPONSIBLE. OR ELSE #i think a small naive part of me just. is still a child. expecting adults to be better #to know better and do better because theyre older #nevermind the fact that IM an adult. and have learned quite thoroughly via my parents #that age does not equal responsibility or maturity

Are there any pet names I could accidentally call you what would kill you?

Kill me in the sense that I might puke in my mouth. I hate pet names. Just call people by their name if you need them to know you're talking to them. SMH. Don't even get me started on how condescending they can feel. Like, calling someone "sweetheart" or "baby"? Are you some pig from the 50's? Grow up, we're in 2024.

#out of character #you cant trick ME #also inspired by my heart skipping a beat every time a nice older lady calls me sweetheart #like please ma'am whatever you need. do you need my carpet as a jacket

I'm tempted to install tinder even tho I know it will just be really really bad for me, mostly because I need to see if there is a single single sapphic woman between ages of 28 and idk, 35 in this entire city.

#everyone i can think of are either older ladies who are very nice or like 23 at most and like nope #not going to do it because I'm sinking deeper into depression by the day and I'm already at the dept where the titanic is #just wondering for academic purposes #yes i should go back to therapy and maybe try new meds or something but complaing on tumblr is free and doesn't take up resources #i know I don't have to date people in my city this is just for academic purposes #i think they all moved out or are in relationships

Okay besties- my birthday is in a month and a half, and I’m looking for a sugar daddy (or mommy 😌) so that I can get my grimey little claws on an albo! So if you know any lonely billionaires (I know of 4 who were recently widowed 😏), send them my way 👏🏻😤

#this is mostly a joke but also I wouldn’t say no to a nice older lady #it’ll hit right in the mommy issues #I even included my face which is all I need as a sugar baby resume right #right #monstera albo #variegated #house plant #personal #me #selfie #my face #no but it is actually a joke I already plan to get myself one lol

[joi-in-the-tardis]

Yesterday, an older lady called me over with "sir" but when I spoke she said "oh you're a ma'am" and then there was a brief pause "or you're whatever you want to be." I told her I'll answer to anything other than "late for dinner" and we shared a laugh.

That nonbinary energy, acknowledged.

#i also had an older man tell me if i didn't push through his coupon he was going to a register with a cashier to get it fixed #his face when i told him he absolutely could do that was priceless #and will live rent free in my head forever #sir it's no skin off my nose if you make more work for yourself #only to have them tell you the same thing i just did #which is read the coupon to you 🤷‍♂️ #(i worked it out so he got the discount btw but he was still spitting mad by the time he left) #but thanks nice lady lol #joi rambles #work stuff #self-checkout stories

#11 years from now..... #crying bc it will be annoying this is otherwise nice bc you know they dont give islamic holidays off #also i totally thought it was like 30+ years but apparently #in 2065 chanukah christmas and ramadan all overlap so thatll be exciting to experience as an older lady #*takes drag of cigarette* in my day we once had two ramadans and three eids in the same year...

When neither the samosa man, the pancake lady, or the good taco truck are at the farmers market, so you have to go to the taco tent where the meat is dry and the salsa is mid af for breakfast _(:ミ」∠)_

#jacq life #and the shells get cold and hard super fast #they have two salsas: burn your entire digestive tract or we put something in here thay tastes like charcoal #oh well i also got a pork bun from the nice older lady and her tiny cute old old dad #so thats redeeming

[joleneghoul]

I should have expected it but a surprise development of my work is that im developing arm muscles again

#my job makes me feel happy in a way i havent been in so long like im still sick and have bad days- #-but just getting out 3 days a week for awhile makes me feel better and i talk to so many ppl now #i get to be friends with a lot of the older ladies they are very nice to talk to we talk abt arthritis #ik members r like this dudes crazy bc ill be mopping and like 'i love this!'

[shikai-the-storyteller]

Bruh our CEO emailed me to say she really likes the work I've been doing ; ________ ; bruh

#i talk #job talk #I'm so frickin burnt out and exhausted but that was a nice surprise #She's a little old Latina lady and I went ''AW???'' seeing that email #Listen man I'm Mexican it's embedded into my DNA to be automatically endeared to older Latina ladies #There's another older Mexican lady I really like who I've talked to like... 3 times maybe in a different department #but last time I saw her I was so excited because I brought chocolate into the office and I was like ''do you want some!'' #and she was so sweet and was acting like a tia and gave me a hug and I was just like ; ____ ; #idk man I don't see a lot of other Mexicans in my neck of the woods so I'm always maybe a little too excited when I do #anyways but re: job stuff #If I was ballsier I'd be like ''in that case could I get a raise?'' but I'm not a fool

For some reason I just felt like putting Michael Buble on at work this past Thursday. I don’t know; he just fit the store vibes of the day. Family friendly, 50s-sounding. He just fit.

Well… two of my co/workers, Brock and Sydney, complained about it, with Brock asking “Isn’t he like, really old?”

Me: *Gasp* “Watch. Your mouth!!! Michael Buble was born in the 80s he is just a millennial who’s an old soul like MYSELF.”

Then they’re like whatever but I heard them complaining some more so what did I do!? Well, you can bet your booties that I marched my little butt over to the iPod and typed in “Ain’t We Got Fun?” and hit play. After the stupid ads ran their course it began to play and this is what I heard:

“UGHHH!!! ABBY!!! REALLY?!?!”

Me: *grins smugly* “Welcome to the 30s, children.”

#you complain about my Michael Buble and I will GIVE you a reason to complain #and the funny part is that the older lady I work with was laughing at my shenanigans!! #I can’t be a little BRAT at work when it comes to music I kid you NOT #oops! I meant to say I CAN be a brat #and same goes with turning down my music. you turn down my tunes and I will march over there and TURN. IT. UP. #But all rants and jokes aside I love my job! the people are so nice and it’s such a positive environment #personal #work stories #a day in the life of a produce manager
