#talking to one of my coworkers

[avatar-aaang]

today I found out (mostly realized) that kids these days don't have physical textbooks anymore. like that is so insane to me. You can't hold??? you can whack someone's arm with it? shove it in a locker and hope it doesn't remain there??

#personal #talking to one of my coworkers #who is a first year college student so like 18/19 ish i guess #and hes like yea since middle school ive never had a physical book unless it was just in the class room #that just killed me on the spot #im maybe upwards of 8 yrs older and like. so much has changed so fast #idk i can definitely see the pros of having all your books being pdf #but also #idk it just doesnt seem right #feels like the removal of disk drives in computers you know?? #anyway i gotta go learn some math now bc for the first time today i couldn't help a kid

#portal #portal 2 #glados #wheatley #is it embarrassing that i have that glados voiceline memorized 💀 i didn't realize it until i was talking to one of my cowboy about portal #and i mentioned the line and realized i could quote the entire thing from memory without needing to look it up #and i went ... hmm..... I'm ignoring whatever that means #I'm like 90% sure a version of this meme exists but i couldn't find it so i made one to scratch the itch #🪼 #HOW DID I MISPELL COWORKER AS COWBOY i need to stop playing new vegas for a bit oh my godd

I’m so damn tired

#when I first started working whre I do I made the mistake of being reliable and efficient #and ever since then any work that needed to be done fast/that others didn’t want to learn was put on me #and it’s especially bad with one coworker who’s beena senior for years who kept delegating a lot of his tasks over to me #and I got super annoyed last week and then we had a chat about it #and he started started saying that I need to be more patient #and when I gave him feedback about his work ethics back he said ‘but I’m old I can’t learn new things’ #💀 #he also keeps saying that I need to learn to talk these things through with ppl (because I complained to my art dir rather than to him) #but then any work that requires collaboration with another department he always delegates to me #like I’ve never in my life seen him talk with ppl outside the 3d art team #it’s so tiring every time we’re on thr same project it feels like I’m doing work for two people 💀

Sometimes someone says something to me about sex or romance and I legitimately have to take a step back and remember that the majority of the world doesn’t think like me. And it seems so stressful always looking for a partner and then having to keep them happy. Then you’re with them for the rest of your life maybe? And there’s always that stress.

Then I go right back to my Legos, dragons, art work, hobbies, and cats without a care in the world.

#Asexual #aromantic #aroace #aroace pride #I know I’m not every asexual person #But this is just my experience #Like talking to someone about how they just really like sex but don’t have anyone to have sex with now and they’re all sad #Or how one of my coworkers has been at work a lot and his partner that does the same type of job is blaming him for not being home #Like girl you work at the same place you know where he is!!

clint mcelroy creating a dnd character: oh yeah, this bad boy can fit so much simple zest for life in him

#eliot posts #taz #the adventure zone #merle highchurch #zoox anthellae #ive not listened to graduation yet (and idk if i ever will) so idk if this applies to argo or not #i remember so little of amnesty and am only 10 eps into steeplechase so i can't speak for the non dnd campaigns either #it's funny how a lot of people's ttrpg characters often have common themes in them #me and my friend john from our irl dnd group were talking about that and it's like #alicia plays the most Friend Shaped girls imaginable. caleb's Cause Problems On Purpose. julia's are sassy and tend to do their own thing #john's are edgy in theory but extremely friend shaped and caring in practice. and i tend to play The Mom Friend. #not ALWAYS but pretty often. and basically always they're just really looking for human connection (whether they know/accept it or not) #even my goddamned PISS WIZARD is quickly careening towards mom friend territory??? somehow??? #very few people tolerate him so he's protective of those who do. even if it's mostly just a coworkers situation in the party #and most of the party is So Fucking Stupid #it's a very hilarious party composition overall. just 5 guys all thinking ''wow. what a bunch of freaks. good thing i'm normal :)'' #and the only one who is REMOTELY accurate in that assessment is the cleric whose catchphrase has quickly become #''hey. don't look at me. i just work with them.''

#stayed up too late and now im pissed off about this stupid relationship im stuck in again #did you know hes never once correctly gendered me despite talking to me about me being nonbinary multiple times??? #did you know we have to use lube every time we fuck because he has NEVER warmed me up first and usually straight up doesnt prep me at all??? #did you know he firmly believes that men are more aggressive and natural leaders and that women are caretakers and wont listen #to me when i say that that attitude really upsets me??? like i dont give a shit if thats what they said in your “mens health” class in uni #im just. i need to get the fuck out of here but i cant yet because hes my fucking BOSS #and im going to have to quit my job first but if i quit then i have to move back home so ill have to give notice to my landlord and im just #im on the verge of losing my mind entirely. another one of my coworkers got punched in the eye by a customer again last week #i have to get the fuck out of here #anyway. remind me to delete this in the morning

giving up being masc in 2024 i can’t handle everyone and their mother deciding they can say whatever unhinged shit their repressed horny brains are saying abt me it’s too much i’m retiring from serving butch realness cause these bitches can’t handle it

#personal #literally what kind of person would look you in the eyes and say #IN FRONT OF MULTIPLE COWORKERS #that she’s talked to her therapist about you because she loves her husband but she keeps thinking about me #AND ALSO????? #that she would have fucked you in a public work space AT WORK WHERE YOU BOTH WORK #ON THE FLOOR IN FRONT OF CUSTOMERS AND COWORKERS #with zero prior conversations that would possibly encourage or approve of any of it being said ever #anyways i just really wish i could exist without this shit happening and the fact that shit like this has happened multiple times is horrid #just let masc ppl exist without being fucking creeps maybe #this is all made worse by the fact that up until this incident she was literally referred to by herself and others as one of my ‘work moms’

the problem with websites dying is that obviously if people are your friends you can ask them for other ways to stay in touch etc but there is a much larger category of people who i am absolutely not friends with, we have never spoken, but i love following what's happening with them, seeing them talk, occasionally nonverbally signalling approval through a like button

it's not even parasocial bc i don't want or imagine a different kind of relationship, i just like seeing them talk and hearing about their lives without any need for actual communication. and in many cases i've been passively knowing the same people for years, over a decade even, to the point where it is jarring and sad to lose and contemplate losing. that like 50 times over is tumblr for me and i hope it keeps being here

#talking #idk it's a weird thing as well to like. become attached to someone who has no relationship to you and therefore owes you nothing #also felt similarly when i was telling my mum id miss my coworkers at the job i just left #and she was like but you can keep in touch with the ones you get on with best #which. i will but theres a whole range of people who i enjoy working with/being around/passively being part of the same community alongside #but it would feel weird to like. go get coffee and hang out one on one just by choice

Too tired to draw, what is this curse. I wanna draw so badly but can't even focus on the screen, augh

#talk tag #rant #i guess? #i feel super bad about complaining in here #but where else would I go with it #I just got a stressful job and keep messing up #not the job itself. but relationships with coworkers #it's so stressful bc I don't wanna come across as mean #it's just my face/voice when I'm not constantly making sure it's soft and nice #I don't wanna be mean #can't just go and say “it's the neurodivergence” #since I don't even know wtf is wrong with me #<- afraid of therapists #bc if I go to even one therapists and disregards my struggles I may just cry. and impostor syndrome again #rambling in the tags #will delete this later #i just needed to get this out #I also keep infodumping to clients and not sure how that's gonna fly with the bosses #...probably not well #english is hard today wtf #tw vent

the girlbossification of ruth bader ginsburg has to be one of the most just plain annoying aspects of white liberal feminism. like it's not as actively harmful as a lot of other shit obviously. but it is soooooo annoying. if I never see another notorious rbg tote bag as long as I live it will be too soon

#her opinions and amicus' in many cases were iconic! not denying that certainly. she is absolutely AMONG the better justices in us history #HOWEVER her record on policing/the carceral system is very bad! genuinely bad! #and she just would not hold the conservative justices accountable. her and kagan are way too placating #and then she refused to retire in 2009 when there was a sitting democratic president and a fucking DEMOCRATIC SUPER MAJORITY #saying basically that no one else could do the job as well as her which is insane because sotomayor and KBJ literally are better :/ #its also unbelievably conceited and just incredibly fucking selfish to knowingly doom the country because you think youre hot shit #started ranting abt this at work bc literally any talk even adjacent to the supreme court will set me off abt all of us court history #and my coworker was like 'well i dont think its very fair that she had to have that much riding on her decision to retire' #it literally is fair because that is the fucking job that she signed up for. this has literally always been how it fucking works #its a lifetime appointment. you either die unexpectedly or retire strategically #she accepted a position in which the entire country would depend on her but its not fair for the entire country to depend on her??? #bullshit #im not fucking buying it. she did this knowing roe would likely be struck down as a result #she should absolutely be held accountable for that lmfao. you can know that she had a hand in a lot of great decisions for this country #while also knowing that she did a fucked up and extremely selfish thing

Today's thoughts are of Pela and Gepard because I saw a post somewhere once (I've totally lost track of it now...) with the hc that Pela would have crush on Gepard, because she's totally the type to read shoujo manga and he is very much the stereotypical princely shoujo manga love interest.

And that's cute and all, but personally my favorite spin on this is that yes, Pela did have a crush on Gepard, in a sort of "celebrity crush" kind of way. He's so handsome and righteous and upstanding and protective and noble! Pela certainly wasn't the only one that stared after him when he would walk by. And so she was super super excited when she found out she was going to be working under him!

Anyway her crush fizzled out by the end of her first week LDJALKJK

The man has absolutely no charm!! Negative rizz!! Not a single romantic bone in his body!! Don't even get her started on his tastes!!!

If you talk to her in the Supreme Guardian's office, Pela will pay Gepard exactly one half of a complement and then proceed to drag the man within an inch of his life. If you talk to Gepard out by the frontlines, he calls Pela overbearing and says he tries very hard not to get in the way of her work because he doesn't want to earn her ire.

Their relationship is hilarious in the way that they cannot avoid each other (mutual friends, work together), seem to greatly respect the other's work, and also squabble at each other as soon as they're out of earshot and I love them so so much.

Like I desperately need them to devolve into petty bickering. You know how Pela texts the trailblazer asking for hangover cures? I need that message to come after a night where Pela, Serval, Gepard, and Dunn were all drinking together. Pela reached up and grabbed Gepard by the cheeks and stretched them like mochi while ranting, because

Pela: Your face is so handsome, and for what! For what!! You haven't earned this at all, stop it!!

Gepard: ?!?!???

Gepard finally gets fed up with her and drunkenly tells Pela that well, maybe she should just quit looking at him, then. And then he steals her glasses right off her face and holds them above her head, until Pela stopped jumping for them and finally just climbed him like a ladder.

Serval's current wallpaper is of Pela up on Gepard's shoulders, fingers clawed into him and her arm extended over top of his, while Gepard holds her glasses out as far away as possible and fights to keep his balance so they both don't tip over into a drunken pile on the floor.
