I sometimes see people argue about one of these circles as though it were all three circles.

Sometimes something can totally make sense in-universe, and fit with the themes of the story, the characters, etc... And you just don't like it for whatever reason. Maybe it wasn't done well in spite of that, or touched a nerve, etc.

Maybe you loved a story, and it was an excellent exploration of a character, but it would be totally fair to call out the technical nonsense, and how, even in-universe, it doesn't add up.

And maybe you thought this episode of a show was GREAT! But it was non-canon, nothing made sense, and, ultimately, it was UTTER NONSENSE.

And so on, and so forth. Heck, you could fairly add more circles to this. I'm keeping it simple with three.

My point is mostly that there's nuance to opinions, and sometimes, someone not liking something in a story has nothing to do with whether it made sense, or complimented the narrative.

Those things can be separate points. Stories don't have to be a failure at everything to be disliked, or succeed at everything to be liked, and arguing as though that were the case is silly.

It was......fine. The guy training me was good at it. Praised me when I tried my hand.

I'm fine when I'm with him but when it was just me during his break I got super timid and didn't get anything.

I'm gonna have to figure out

A pitch

How to deliver that pitch confidently

How to deliver that pitch confidently to multiple people at once

How to deliver that pitch confidently to multiple people who are trying to actively avoid me

I am not going to do this well. I only have to get an average of 7 per hour (so a total of 28 per 4 hour shift?) to keep the job, but if I get more I get paid more.

Since I only really plan on doing this Tues, Wed, and maybe some Saturdays (for now) I think I'll be ok.

I am not confident I will do well or be here very long. I will continue to apply for other jobs.

In the meantime I will tell my doctor I don't like strattera bc the side effects are shit and it doesn't do what I need (focus and motivation/executive function).

I start a new job tomorrow (concurrent, I haven't quit Michaels) and y'all

Terrified

It's marketing for a water and air filter company called Moore water and air. I could either be convincing people to sign up for a raffle or approaching people shopping and minding their own business in home depot to try to convince them to let me send someone to their house to test their water.

I hate that. I'm not going to be good at either of those things. Why did I apply for this? I don't have anxiety but this is giving me anxiety.

But it's the only thing that's been even remotely close to hiring me since I started looking so I literally have to at least try. I can't just say 'oh no that's scary I can't do that' bc I literally cannot afford to pass up this opportunity. If they hate me and I'm fired then at least I tried.

So I have to be at home depot at 10am tomorrow. Hope I don't throw up. 🤞

OKAY series of polls about sock preferences because i'm a curious autistic fuck:

(if you don't wear socks don't answer any of the other questions)

#I wear socks unless I'm intending to be wet or wearing sandals #literally constantly #I will wear aesthetically mismatched socks if the sock FEEL is the same #I'll wear slightly damp clothes if I'm in a hurry #and I will wear the same pair of socks from the time I get out of the shower to the next time I shower (up to three days) #if I sock gets even a little wet I will change it #I have a few pairs of grippy socks but I mostly only wear them in the winter bc they're fleece socks #I have worn toe socks in the past bc I thought they'd keep my toes warm but they DO NOT they are a lie but I would still wear them #I hate wool so much it's awful even cashmere is itchy no thank you #I have several pairs of graphic patterned socks they're fun #I will wear borrowed socks if I have to no problem #ankle socks ftw #before my shower I was wearing a sock with a hole in and I just made sure it wasn't on my big toe #I am currently wearing socks bc I have exited the shower and I'm not swimming or wearing sandals #you're welcome for these answers in the tags XD

this is purely for fun and I've certainly been guilty of a few of these things myself in my years of fic writing. don't be weird in the notes and don't use this as an excuse to insult someone's writing.

#the blond/brunet #none of these REALLY bug me all that much but that one the most of the options #really it's just bad spelling and grammar that bug me the most
