His anger at the pay has made him enwaged.

JOKE-OGRAPHY:
1. In the Bible story, Jesus tells a story about a landowner who hires workers throughout the day to work in his vineyard. Some workers are found and hired right at dawn. Other workers are hired throughout the day. The landowner even goes out just an hour before closing and finds a few more unemployed workers, so he hires them, too. At the end of the day, he pays every worker a full day's wage, regardless of hours. This is what he owes the first workers, but it's incredibly generous to the last, who only worked an hour. The first workers complain that they deserve more than the later workers. The landowner explains that he paid them what they were owed. Why should they complain if he was generous to others? Jesus says the landowner is like the kingdom of heaven. No matter when we reach out to God -- early or late -- He reaches back all the way.
2. In this cartoon, an early worker is complaining on and on about the perceived unfairness of the landowner's selective generosity. As the early worker lists all the work he did, the landowner adds, "And making plenty of WHINE, apparently." The worker is complaining a lot -- or "whining" -- about tending a vineyard, where grapes are harvested, in part for wine-making. "Wine" and "whine" are homophones. For this reason, the landowner says he must have been making plenty of WHINE.

the urge to run to my friends every five minutes to show off what i just wrote so we can be excited together vs the nebulous feeling that they're all just humoring me
yeah so the nebulous feeling is really winning this one tbh. it's made writing such a chore sometimes i don't open a single file for two weeks.
it doesn't help when people go "no but i do want to see what you're writing!!" because that is also what they would say if they were humoring me. :(

I have to go pick someone up the airport, so that's an hour round trip, and I don't wannaaaaaaa. But at least I'll be done/in for the night when I get back. Deeply hoping that my bthb card is here when I get back so I can stop my anxiety brain telling me I did something wrong on the sign-up (even tho I double-checked so many times?) (but ALSO: did I mess something up). (It's more than reasonable if it's not tho, given the time-frame, this is literally just me wanting to silence le anxiety brain lmao)
I'm so glad it's Wednesday (altho I am aware that gives me two (2) more days until my self-imposed deadline lmao)
