#it’s only retail

[former-ly-darth]

How do I get out of retail? It feels like a trap. It feels like once they’ve got their craws on you they pull and pull and pull you down so that you can never escape. How the fuck am I supposed to get out of here? I don’t have time to gain more experience from and unpaid internship. I don’t have time to complete any training for a skill-based job. I want out. I want out. I want out so fucking bad and it feels like there’s absolutely no way out.

#retail #customer service #retail workers #being treated poorly by both the customers and your managers weighs you down real quickly #it can make you lose all motivation in life #I’m searching and searching and searching for jobs #it’s all retail #it’s only retail #I feel so trapped

highest-grossing multimedia juggernaut of all time

#video #to answer the obligatory questions: #footage was recorded on an actual switch (with a dump of a retail cartridge installed to it) #the only editing was the yungoos which was sped up for comedic effect #day 1 patch is installed as noted in the video #yes the game is still decently enjoyable #no it absolutely isn't worth $60

picturing Velvette huddled up on a Hell doorstep 2 hours after she arrived making a list of possible ways to get some power as quickly as possible on a bloodstained cellphone she took off a corpse and it's like

create startup, get aqui-hired

become first hellfluencer

sugar daddy?

startup + collab with a celebrity for more attention

celebrity boyfriend?

become already powerful couple's third, profit

actually find people to work with who respect and value my skills and me as a person <- this one is a joke

and then a year later she's in bed, awake after vox and val have nodded off for once, looking at mockups of the Vee tower design on her phone, and brings up the old list for just a minute to cross everything else out and write in 'all of the above???'

#YES IT'S BEING SAPPY ABOUT VELVETTE AND POLYVEES HOURS #in my headcanon she crashlanded in Hell juuuuust after the extermination happened and/or during the tail end of it #and it was both a curse and a blessing in clawing together her first tiny power base #because there's a lot up for grabs! but it's basically like being hired in retail during holiday season #but that's one of the reasons that usually hanging out during exterminations is one of her favorite activities #it's a potent reminder of how much power and safety she's gained #anyway i just love how Velvette is so 110% for her boys and their mutual brand the fact she has a #'<3' i.e 'V3' phone case kills me among other things #to me she seems like someone who dealt with being unappreciated her whole life so being part of this #powerful flashy exciting thing she shaped and getting attention not only online but from her clearly appreciative #*carmilla carmine voice* colleagues #hits her hard. ok i need to shut up and make velvette psychology/past headcanons a different post sometime #hazbin velvette #hazbin hotel velvette #poly vees #polyvees #polyamorvee #happy days in hell (hazbin tag)

THERES SO MANY NUMBER & LETTER CODES THAT PROBABLY MEAN SOMETHING, MY ADHD ASS CANNOT! 😫

This shit has to be as hard to remember as the retail codes at grocery stores. 🤯

#thankfully near the end of when I quit my retail job they installed a search engine function #it wasn’t fully functional but it helped immensely #most the time I would just type in mystery item code essentially & put in the price #customers were boomers so they were mostly honest & I never got in trouble for it #only one got recommended I actually look stuff up & then I retorted oh & hold up the long line??? & that argument was DONE! #lmao #I wonder if anyone’s deciphered these codes yet?? don’t spoil what they mean for me though this is like a live blog kinda thing #mine #op #tmagp 2 #tmagp #tmagp spoilers #the magnus archives #the magnus protocol #tma spoilers #tmagp liveblog #tma

well.... ethan is joey richter.... and he can still be the hot chocolate boy's older cousin because he's four years older then pete..... ted ethan pete power cousin trio

#Ethan green #pete spankoffski #ted spankoffski #starkid #god bless joey richter ethan :) #the only ethan ever to exist :) #steph finds out Pete's older cousin is ETHAN GREEN and loses her mind #like ive been thinking about this my ENTIRE Black Friday retail shift #like 14 year old Ethan babysitting 10 year old Pete over night and Pete thinks he's the coolest person ALIVE #baby trans boy Pete takes one look at Ethan green and goes THAT I wanna be THAT #and then only manages the boy part but he at least does that one well #I also love the concept of Pete and Lex having to interact #Hannah and Pete would be buds #I love Ethan green A LOT #I care about him #im honestly just desperate for a reason to write him into stuff #peter spankoffski

I swear in almost every super-people team, Moon Knight feels like the kid who when the teacher said, "Okay everybody, get in groups!" Just sat there in dead silence and waited until the teacher came over and went, "Yes you have to be in a group, go with them." Then assigned him to the group with The Good Kid™ (Captain America)

#The group only sees him like half the time because he's lingering in the back #he talks only when he needs to #gets his shit done then leaves #i just love the tired retail worker aura #its hilarious in super hero context #moonknight #moon knight comics #marc spector #jake lockley #steven grant #marvel #marvel comics

but i seriously would love to see more guides about decreasing makeup use and how to feel comfortable acting more assertive and which male clothing will fit you best and pant size conversion charts and tailoring guides and less ridiculing women for not having the means to defy femininity.

#i could do a pant size guide but i could only help really petite women with it because i am seriously underweight #and i drown in most male adult clothing #otherwise i wish i had more advice than like. scroll through second hand retailers until you find something plausibly wearable

#my art #invader zim #invaderzim #iz zim #zim iz #retail zim au #I got recognized outside of work #that’s not suppose to happen #what do you mean you don’t completely forget about my existence once you walk out of the building #I thought you could only recognize me by my uniform

What happens if you make $500 in a year. Like how do you get by?

living with my mom and getting help from family members so i can pay my bills 🥴 i was receiving a considerable amount in student financial aid via grants and scholarships that helped a lot, but i'm now banned from receiving them for several years bc i dropped out of classes too many times due to family crises + mental and physical health issues so i can no longer afford to go to school. and the main family member who was helping me died last year so uh. yeah. currently applying for welfare and trying not to kms ❤️

#my only other option is to move back to msia and live with my dad. love malaysia but my father is abusive so i will not be doing that lol #if i could find a way to live there w/o living with him i would. or live here. or live anywhere #& my chronic health issues prevent me from having a normal job i used to work 30 hrs a week retail and then i got sick #so i am entirely reliant on my family helping me

Do you own a lot of merch? If so how do you keep them from getting too dusty, whats the best way to keep them and saving space etc

I guess I own a… reasonable amount? 😆 When it comes to little toys and figurines, currently I only have a few of them on display (in a temporary little collection while I find something new to display stuff on), mostly dedicated to some of my Mojo stuff:

...I still need to fix the Mo Mojo statue, it's been ages (he got busted up in the mail, weh). 😫

But yeah, a lot of it isn't on display or anything, they're mostly in storage (not, like, a storage locker or anything... just in some plastic boxes/bags in my closet, haha). Actuallyyyy, as an example, I was cleaning up today and found some of the smaller things I used to have on display trapped in a Ziploc prison:

...which I guess could also look like crime scene evidence or illicit drugs.

I also just have a lot of practical merch, like clothes, jewelry, hair ties/clips, keychains for my purse and keys, stationary, makeup bags, etc. Oh yeah, and a bunch of media like magazines, books, DVDs, CDs., etc. Everything's just stored like you'd normally store that kinda stuff. Nothing fancy. One of these days maybe I'll try to get everything PPG-related that I own together and see how much junk I've actually collected, but yeah. I'd say it's like a medium amount. I am nowhere near Lenny Baxter levels of merch (nor would I wanna be!).

#i swear I owned like only a handful of things before starting this blog lol #and then i caught the bug of looking on ebay and mercari and buyee for things #my brand of retail therapy is looking up vintage ppg merch and seeing what kind of weird or fun things i can find #also people know i like the ppg IRL so they've alerted me to stuff and have gotten me presents which is sweet #weird merch #oh also re: dust it just... appears and I'll just brush it off with a swiffer thingee or a blast of compressed air 😆 works for everything

Btw if you're going to intentionally window shop at a brick and mortar store before you order something online, at least do them the decency of ordering from the same company

#unless you want amazon to be the only retailer in existence

made the mistake of looking up apartments + rent costs in texas again

#how does anyone ever afford living anywhere ever #does anyone want to date for splitting rent reasons... #im going to have to live here until i Cant anymore and then i probably wont be able to stay afloat #i only have until then to enjoy drawing bc ill probably have to give it up forever to afford the roof over my head #with like. retail worker's salary #bc i ruined my life by being born stupid and lazy and unmotivated to get a useful degree #okay well. going to get some work done real quick and get to bed to turn off the I Should Kill Myself thots <3 #talkys
