BluPetal’s plans have often confused me, such as debuting as a publisher without having any licenses to announce, so this sounds like one more confusing thing

My bedroom fan is on its way to dying and the worst part is that the sound of it isn't a steady hum like it should be. I *need* the right white noise to go with the airflow 🥲

Just because I keep complaining about my ankle still being mad at me does not mean that I wouldn't happily take a dance class and give it more reasons to be mad at me

No, YOU went to go look up the name of the modern dance troupe you saw a good decade and ended up on their schedule of online dance classes going "yeah maybe I would like to take a samba class"

The ads for what I'm pretty sure is somebody's stupid AI thing warning me that "ads are coming to AI" are really not selling me on the ads being the problem that their service is gonna solve

But my glasses are bothering me and my eyes are tired and this day is shaping up to be so very long. Please send entertainment.

I can’t get too into anything else because new work might pop up to be done, but what does pop up isn’t terribly engaging, so I just end up on my phone playing little games that I can drop easily but are just interesting enough to keep my brain from melting of boredom

I don’t like when work is super busy and there’s no time for a breather, but when work is dead (like it is right now), I’m not sure it’s a whole lot better

Also send me some video games that only require me to push a button to move on to the next screen, fine motor control is not it

Me, a genius: yes, my shoulder and hand did start hurting from overuse again today, but you know what would help? Playing Super Mario Land 2 for an hour!

(Please send a fresh box of lidocaine patches)

Also really annoying that practice actually does make phone calls easier 😠

It’s rather bullshit that I couldn’t cancel it online since I signed up online, but here we are

I successfully called and canceled an upcoming insurance renewal that I no longer need, I’m so proud

Ah, the dangerous shopping location

Weirdly, I never hear people’s audiobooks or podcasts, so I reckon you’re probably safe unless you’ve just really got the volume cranked like the people who enjoy having heated phone conversations over their loudass car speakers

About to get out of my car in the rain just to go knock on the window of the car parked next to me to tell them to turn their stupid music down

“When your car stereo is turned up, other people can hear it too” and other seemingly obvious things that I apparently have to explain to people

I'm tired of my ankle being mad at me. It has been six whole weeks since I slipped and fell in the mud, I think it's high time for my ankle to quit feeling stiff

I think I finally figured out what my grift would be if I ever dared to grift:

Trying to convince the world that aliens built all the cathedrals of medieval Europe.

Touchscreens are great for some things, but there are so many games where they just are SO much more trouble than they're worth. Just give me buttons

Mom's been itching to play for a while now on something with actual buttons, bc apparently playing an app version she found on her phone with a touchscreen was more frustrating than anything else

I showed her how to get to Tetris and what buttons to push for the controls, and now I feel like I've left my kid to entertain herself while I go do my manga nerd shit in another room

I definitely just spent $400 so my mother and I can play old Game Boy games on a fancy new device, would do again

I’ve helped train a few people at various jobs and while most of them were absolutely fine (and I think the current new person here will be soon), there’s really no helping some people no matter how well you train them. So frustrating

It is not their fault they are new, everyone has to start somewhere, and it’s easy to miss small things. This is my mantra, though I’m not sure how effective it will be given how lowkey cranky I am at a lot of things

My challenge at work this week is being more patient with the new person

I have some questions about why you wouldn't immediately fire the real estate agent who made your £5 million house look like a tiny scale model sinking into the pavement in your listing

Two jobs is *hard* with the deductions. I owed a couple of years because I didn't make enough at either job to have much withheld, but collectively it was enough to push me over a bracket. Hard to want to do your taxes when you know you'll be shelling out 😔

It must cost more. When I was working at the high school, the city did paper W2s, but surely after a certain point, the postage would negate the savings of paper

This is why I like digital access to W2s so much. I always worry about them disappearing somewhere bc it's so easy for it to happen. But, ofc, my work switched to a new service for them this year and their identity verification didn't work for me, so I had to wait for a paper copy and worry
