See I think if I'd been born a guy I wouldn't be this pathologically avoidant trying to plan my career because there are plenty of situations you can find as a cis man where you just Do Tasks in awkward silence and you can get to those as a woman but you have to go through the rings of hell socializing first and then besides, a lot of those jobs already have so many men that you stand out when the whole point was you Don't want to do that

#you gotta be god's strongest soldier to survive this shit and i am not! i am god's weakest most pathetic soldier! #i survived five years of customer service crying weekly and getting harassed and being a baby about it #when i got promoted no one would listen to me and it made me constantly anxious and then so tired it took me a year to be able to #think about having a job as something remotely positive and stop crying about it #idk how other women are doing this shit a guy treats me like his sexy servant and i feel BAD and upset for years #and think of what he said 7 years later and they only touched me on the shoulder and made comments other people go through worse! #but i am not strong or determined i just want to go through my life in peace and stop talking to people altogether #it wasn't just guys who treated me badly older women made fun of me and called me lazy and stupid #tutoring was fine but i felt like i was putting on that same performance and at that point it all felt so awful i just. didn't want to #i can see no way out of talking to people for the rest of my life and it gets me down sometimes #i know i get to come home but even then i will probably need people to live with #i basically only like my family and close friends talking to me sometimes even that is hard #sometimes it's way easier to type and feels less awful #i think i have to just keep on keeping on until i can finally get good enough to freelance edit and code that's the only thing i can think #of doing that doesn't make me cry #emails are fine they suck but i don't have to control my face and tone so.

I saw the new fallout show!!!!!! Had a great time watching it. Burst out laughing way too many times. Everyone losing their minds over timeline consistency and swearing off the show are missing out. Twas a fun romp and a good time 👍 I actually ended up loving several brotherhood of steel characters which was a total surprise to me. Probably had something to do with how wet and pathetic they were

Also Maximus & Lucy are such dorks ❤️ I didn’t even know there was a whole third character besides the dog. why is the entire tag just her and Cooper

#🫤 well. actually I do know why #listen I like Cooper #hes cool! #smooth skin for a ghoul and an asshole which is fun #fallout tv show spoilers #spoilers #I like how he’s still an asshole at the end too like this guy is not better #but I also ADORE how Lucy still has her principals in the end despite all that’s happened #she’s still good!! the wasteland hasn’t broken her (yet) #love that for her. terrified what’s gunna happen in s2 #I also thought it was so funny how Maximus only fails up #like. every promotion he gets it’s because people just collapse around him #terminally the guy thats completely unqualified to do Anything yet somehow the last man standing #i love how he really just wanted to eat caviar and wear slippers too #absolutely so willing to say fuck the brotherhood the moment he was given any other option #the show does a good job at showing how few options anyone has for safety #I liked it a lot #txt

let’s be honest gillian is the one who reaches out to him on social media and i feel bad for her that he never responds back because it happens several times. like i know he’s a cranky old man who’s not online and only lets his team answer but come on.

Gillian has a team, too - they're just doing a better job. I have no idea who does DD's social media but with the way they are doing it, they could just delete his accounts. I mean if people tag you on social media and you never react, it's just... and it wasn't just Gillian, if I remember correctly.

Several celebrities don't use social media and it's not the end of the world. That said, I'm sure they have each other's numbers and email addresses. So if they really want to speak or something, they can.

#lovely anons #i guess he just uses it to promote things #which is totally fine #but they're often not even doing a good job of that #not really a fan of Gillian's SM presence anymore either #i really am going through a thing you guys

Love that Wilkie Collins apparently kept getting letters from guys who were convinced that Marian Halcombe must have been based on a real woman, begging him to introduce them because they were desperate to marry her

#Look Marian didn't need a man but also good for the girl that gets introduced to us as the ugly sister #And I don't mean in that silly Hollywood 'wears glasses but is otherwise conventionally hot way' #I mean 'there is nothing wrong with this woman but she has features that are still mocked and treated with revulsion in the 21st century #So yeah Marian can get it #Poor Wilkie Collins though like how many times do you have to break the hearts of various Berties and Georges and Neds #Before they understand that this fictional character you created isn't going to marry them #All these dudes totally convinced that he was hiding her somewhere #Not to mention all the exasperated parents in Britain whose sons won't get married because they're pining for a fictional woman #Young Algernon COULD be working hard to get a promotion at the bank but instead he's rereading the woman in white again #Cecil turns down a perfectly good job in Canada because he's president of the West Dulwich branch of the Miss Halcombe fan club #And I realise I sound very dismissive but honestly? Good for these young men as well #The Woman in White

the first trailer for book one of CJ Sansom’s ‘shardlake’ series (Dissolution) is out and…

Is it just me or is this marketed as if it’s an action thriller? Down to the editing, the music, the fonts used. Which is frankly bizarre since it’s supposed to be a murder mystery. It’s set almost entirely in a monastery! It’s not a big sprawling epic…

#this was not at all the vibe I was expecting #I… don’t like it #not trying to say the show will be bad I am just not a fan of the way it’s framed here #hopefully that’s down to the promotion side of it and isn’t a reflection of the series in of itself #this style would be more suited for the last book at Mousehold #where there actually is a big battle at the end #and events of state are discussed more #but that’s not what the first book is #also I hope they don’t make London look really grey and dreary. it’d be nice to have a Tudor city that isn’t. like. drab #first look at sean bean as cromwell tho #he’s gonna be so dastardly. look at those smiles! positively nefarious #but Sean bean looks like he’s doing a good job #shardlake #thomas cromwell #historical drama #period drama #Shardlake series #dissolution #early modern #the reformation #cj sansom #the Tudors #Tudor #Tudor history #Tudor drama #the dissolution of the monasteries

heheeee work vent post ~

my boss changed his mind like 7 times today we even had a 3 hr meeting and still that many times - he was sooooo mad I didn't build part of the map like he asked me to durring my lunch break (apparently he thought I should have done it in the 10 mins I had before the 3hr meeting)

but then by the end of the convo he said that part would get cut anyway so i should do a different one 😭 (I still got it done by the end of the day like I said I would)

dude is only motivating me to ignore him more lmao

he checked in work and tried to sheepishly walk up to my desk to tell me he stomped my changes when I asked what he changed he couldn't tell me - what is he doing in there 😭

in the meeting the director didn't like his submission a lot and the lighting team was pissed cause he drastically fucked up their shots - after that he just gave me the map today I guess he's giving up lol

dude makes his own life so stressful I almost feel bad for him but he's a pro gen ai guy while also being an artist so really idk what he wants lmao

walked into the office still sick the week after someone walked in with covid and never checked after one of the directors asked everyone to Stay Home and not spread it (he's not even a covid denier he's just crazy when it comes to work)

he admitted to turning off his email and team chat so no one can reach him to 'distract him durring the day' which idk might he more ok if he wasn't A MANAGER and told us all to stop going around him to talk to other teams directly cause he hates 'being out of the loop' when people still updated him daily

I GUESS HE WOULDNT SEE IT IF THEY SENT IT TO HIM IN A MSG OR EMAIL LMAO

oh my god I didn't think how annoying it must be for other teams to try and talk to us I feel worse 😭

#kickguyreply #work vent #the number of things this dude confesses to in morning stand up alone today is crazy #the stress is getting to him #i know promoting someone into a management position while having no skill or exp is a common issue #but its never been this bad here before with my direct boss #i had to make 3 meetings to try and get my task list from this guy and explain i work off the paper now i dont trust him #not escaping that 'women in tech' curse of being a therapist to every boss i have #edit: no skill in management specifically* - he's good at technical stuff he just is BAD at doing the job he was promoted to do

i am desperately trying to be more active but i'm experiencing mental burnout. just want to say thank you for the interactions even when i'm only checking in here now and again - i'll respond when i'm feeling better! <3

#nothing really happened - work and the house just got on top of me. #for context i was promoted to a management position in october and i hit my stride so i have a lot of responsibilities and i'm hhh. #having to play catch up in terms of skillset. i'm good at my job but i'm not the best - therefore ? i must keep pushing :y #as for home... Man (horse.jpg) #we bought a house a year ago. i envy people who renovate days after moving in. we're a year in and i'm only just redoing the kitchen floor #after a leak that happened in JUNE 2022. it's expensive as fuck and takes so much time. #i'm so fortunate to be able to afford a house but like. i won't lie. it's really hard having to be responsible for everything that goes #wrong with it. my kitchen has been subfloor for months. we destroyed our kitchen island trying to make room for the floor to be done #so we're down storage and stuff is just piling up. eh i know this is like. first world problem and really not a big deal. #but when your house is in disrepair because you don't have the money to fix it quickly or time to do it yourself. shit's hard. #anyway this is a rant. don't want a wrench or a tissue- just wanna get it out. #[puts on pantalone hat] i have money anxiety too #like i earn the most i've ever earned. i won't really get much higher than this atm. i'm due a bonus and i can cash out my shares #but fixing up the house is so expensive. i'm worried i'm gonna lose it all somehow. idfk why. when things are going well i worry i'm gonna #lose it all somehow. growing up poor does a number on your resource guarding. if i spend a penny I Will Lose It All. #' dima why do you like pantalone so much ' HE JUST LIKE ME FRRRR #sry this is a ramble . i treat tumblr tags like my diary but i hope you enjoyed the read xoxox #anyways! point is! i'm alive! i'm itching to come back but i dont have the mental space for fun rn. #can't have fun until i feel safe enough to have fun if that makes sense. #aight byeee

local author is absolutely obsessed with raph and leo's relationship following the end of season 2 and is making it everyone's problem, more at 11!

#theyre so fascinating to me #let me pull up my notes on them so i can ramble like a crazy person in the tags #heres the thing. raph is the eldest sibling. its his job to keep his little brothers safe #and hes been the leader their whole lives. like they were clearly allowed to do whatever they wanted with little parental supervision #so it would be the most obvious and natural choice for the oldest to be the leader #and like clearly the others are on board (at least during canon events) #and leos the most supportive of raph and his leadership out of all of them. constantly hyping him up. even calling on mind raph #because leo trusts raphs judgement (more than his own id go so far as to say tbh) #(i genuinely believe that leo has always looked up to raph since they were very young.) #so i think leo would see him being promoted to leader as undeserved. unearned. it belongs to raph because hes always been there for them. #(~impostor syndrome babey) #meanwhile raph is struggling to find where he belongs on the team now that hes not the leader #i think raph would have liked to have someone guide him through being leader because its HARD!!! ur choices can and WILL have consequences #so hes trying to be that for leo. he tries to be there the way no one was there so that leo doesnt struggle the way raph did #and also its a good way to ignore having to process how HE feels about the demotion #bc it was so unexpected there would obviously be feelings of guilt and self-doubt and 'was i good enough' #and obviously raph isnt going to tell his brothers how hes struggling to find his place on the team now #because hes the oldest and the oldest sibling is the shoulder to lean on. not there to dump their insecurities on their little siblings #the problem is that leo isnt raph #and raph is so focused on helping leo and not dealing with his own stuff that he forgets that. #i think raph sees himself as the leader of the team and the smashy guy. the powerhouse #(i say that with the belief that raph is the HEART of the team btw. only he doesnt know that lmao) #leo himself is also projecting a little onto raph. like i really do believe he thinks raph hates him for 'stealing' his role #(its bullshit but like. brains are dumb sometimes so) #leo seeks out validation but ESPECIALLY raph's validation (like donnie tbh) #to leo a leader is someone you can count on. and he doesnt see himself as reliable #rottmnt #ataimw #rottmnt raph #rottmnt leo

I'm not sure if you've answered this already but, how exactly did karkat avoid being culled and make it to the position of grand high threshecutioner? And what made the condesce give him a chance?

Tbh lots of luck! I think probably somebody caught him when it was time for him to go off-planet, and reported it, and either somebody in charge was like "oh wow I bet the Condesce would like to see this weird mutant and I would get court clout!" or some automated alert went off at the mention of a red-blooded mutant. Either way when Karkat got dragged in front of her in person he was obviously terrified but was also very visibly like 😳🤩😮

Anyway at first it was definitely like, spiteful interest on Meenah's part, because she wanted to see the Signless's obvious descendant visibly starstruck and loyal and grovelling, but then as he matured he also started to actually excel as a soldier/threshecutioner. And when she promoted him to see what would happen, he very clearly flourished with positive reinforcement and close supervision from an authority figure he respected. And then she just started to sort of be increasingly charmed.

I do think probably the promotion to head of the threshecutioners was like, a move to keep him closer and more supervised? Just in case he started turning traitor with more power. But then also he proved to be pretty good at that, and also showed no signs of treachery, and also very clearly had an enormous crush lol.

#A lot of the actual promoting was not necessarily because of his actual talents or capabilities but then like #He didn't realize that and gave his absolute all to doing a good job and proved to actually be pretty good at it!! #and now he's actually a very helpful and powerful part of the empire lmao #kind of similar to his trajectory into schoolfeeding tbh sometimes people put you in positions for insincere reasons #and you go Fuck You I Can Do It Anyway and lo and behold fuck em you do in fact do it anyway #ask time!

Strong choice for the Voyager writers to make TNG-Q a misogynistic creep. It didn’t pay off at all and actively made me hate his character but hey, it was strong.

#His comment about Chakotay's tattoo was also kind of racist so that's -chefs kiss- awful #I literally would have murdered VOY-Q myself just to spite TNG-Q #Absolutely no moral dillema in this episode for me sorry Janeway - let the man die he's lived literally since the universe was created #TNG-Q is giving such strong 'I'm not gay bc I love men - I'm gay bc I hate women. We're not the same :)' vibes #Tuvok got promoted to 'ship lawyer' because he's somewhat familiar with asylum practices and approves of suicide ok I love this episode #I really do like this episode even though I hate TNG-Q so much #I really can't believe people ship him and Janeway together...what's going on.... #It really did have to be Janeway v Tuvok on this one for reasons I can't describe right now but it's so right #Tuvok's 'I'm as curious as you are Captain' ...the crux of it #this moral dilemma is SO flimsy to me HEHEHE there was a TINGE of maybe SOMETHING when TNG-Q said that since Q are immortal one dying could #have disasterous consequences but then RIGHT AFTER Tuvok was like 'Right. But Don't You Execute People?' and the answer is YES!??? #HEHEHE WHA T!?? WHY DIDN'T YOU WRITE THAT THEY ALSO JUST GET IMPRISONED FOREVER???? #Thi s whole court is out of order.... #YEAAH HEHE I fucking LOVE when star trek says 'you know this history? it was actually aliens. yeaaah aliens did that. v_v' #SNRKEHEH THE TERRIBLE PHOTOSHOP JOB ON RIKER'S P HOTO #Janeway's God Complex on full display in this episode and I love it even as I disagree with her 1000% <3 #Tuvok agreeing with her is also why they work so well together <3 I am also disagreeing with him 1000% <3 peace & love #Q. You are NOT blushing. Your lips are GRAY. You are a CORPSE. #the surrealist symbolism of the Q continum ... VERY good I LOVE surrealist symbolism ~!!!!! #OH GOOD TNG-Q graduated from misogynist to creepily insistent harasser..... #'I never did anything like that for Picard' we GET it writers we get it SO much that you DON'T want Q to be GAY #you' re leaning TOO FAR in the other direction he's LITERALLY the worst guy in a gender studies class now #If TNG-Q tried to caress my cheek that man's losing a finger at LEAST. BYE. #So funny of VOY-Q to be like 'ok I'll think about it :)' and then immediately uber eats some poison #hilarious and a delight to the end VOY-Q -salutes him- #aaaand that's all for this #for all the TNG-Q lovers I'm so sorry for whatever they did to your man uhh I've only seen Voyager so sorry for the slander but please try #to see him through my eyes v_v #liveblogging

Alright, I'm sort of here. Yet again going to try my best to pick away at things. I sort of wanted to have a day to relax so I'm playing Animal Crossing. I'm also working on editing my resume as I'm hopefully going to be applying for a promotion at the end of the week. So I'm mildly stressing about that which is why I'm just going be picking away at things. I swear, once this is done and I get my interview I should hopefully be less stressed and able to focus more on here.

#gun aghaidh「 ooc: mun things 」 #[like not even the house stuff is stressing me out] #[but trying to show that i deserve a promotion] #[for a job that i basically already do and my branch manager knows i can do] #[crank my stress up to 100%] #[my immediate boss has already told me that as long as i make one negative thing into a positive] #[and give some good answers for questions he knows i definitely answer correctly] #[we'll just add another 100% to my stress]

Took my sister to see DWD yesterday and she fucking loved it! When the twist happened she kept turning to me and saying "fucking brilliant"! She thought Florence was amazing and the cinematography, she thought Harry was okay in it! Not stellar but okay! And she thought that some parts needed more development to show more of the reason of why everything happened! Overall, as someone who had seen NOTHING from spoilers or controversies etc (only super vague stuff), she didn't see any of the twists happening! And she enjoyed herself a lot! And we were having such interesting conversation! It was also her first movie post pandemic!!!!!!!!!

#second time was much more enjoyable than the first #and you notice many many many more elements and patterns and full circle moments #also the dancer moments were so creepy and jump scare-y omfg i dunno how i handled them the first time #and i noticed at the beginning when jack and alice are driving in the desert they're doing circles with their car and it's the exact same #circle the victory project looks like!!!!!!!! and also how the perfect illusion of the perfect couple begins to chip away after the first #time alice exists the simulation and he yells at her and she's like 'youre worried about a demotion?' and then he very naturally gaslights #her! AND when he tells her all happy and dreamy like that he wants to have kids when they're ~agreement~ was to not have any #admittedly Harry's best scene (imo) is when the reveal happens and he's yelling at her and especially when he says 'you get to stay here #amd you're happy! you're happy' the way he delivers that scene is very haunting! the way he thinks that's the best thing for her or that #she shouldn't want more out of her life! and also i teared up when alice yelled 'it was MY life! MY LIFE! And you don't get to take that #away from me'!!!!!!!! and I can't stop thinking about how much of a good fit harry was to the role because majority of abusive men are not #what society considers less attractive! they're the ones with the suits and the good names and the 'good' high paying jobs those who come #in neat little boxes and are exactly society's standard for men! and bunny's character is also very genius because she's someone pushed so #far by grief and she's the woman who along with Shelley uphold the system. and it's so fitting that she's bffs with alice because alice is #the one who's willing to do things to 'blow up a system that serves her' and bunny is dying to uphold it because without it she's nothing! #and I keep thinking what if the promotion means that the men selected are more involved in the building and expansion of victory/the #simulation?Also what if the ring is actually Frank's way of controlling them IN the simulation? And that's why jack seems like a puppet #while Frank is yelling 'do you want to see him dance?'!!!!!!!!!!!! so many thoughts!!! i want to watch it again!!!!!!!!!! #dwd spoilers #don't worry darling

Gotta remind myself that I have been trying to care less and give less at work, so having my grandboss tell me that I need to stop playing on my phone is a win, actually.

#you know how you get that hitch in your voice when someone asks how you're doing? #like I wasn't gonna cry but I definitely sounded like I wanted to #I'm tired of playing the game where I have to pretend to care #it was such a good thing when he was promoted and I got my current boss #current boss and I both know that we would quit our jobs in a heartbeat were it financially viable #grandboss actually seems to enjoy playing the game #I just gotta make it until my husband gets a job with health insurance #and every time I say that the ghost of my grandmother haunts me #a man is not a plan #but also this isn't an imaginary man #and if he died or left I could totally just live out of a van

[famewolf]

it is me, the fool, trying to figure out if i should call my boss tomorrow, on my day off no less, and officially tell him to remove me from promotion consideration ... or will i finally have the nerve to do it on wednesday and in person

#[static] #i was in line for promotion last spring but i got really burnt out and started looking for a new job #told him i needed a break after training for months doing manager things and not getting manager pay #put off looking for work to focus on the handfasting and since then the company has a new manager position that was kind of what i wanted - #-in the first place and it seems too good to be true lmao everyone says i should do it and all the managers tell me i already do the job #but i have come to the realization in my late 20s ... that you dont have to do everything that you are good at if you are not passionate - #-about it ...... like you dont need to go for every promotion handed to you if you dont like the work #this position is higher pay but less hours so i'll be getting paid the same ( if not a little less ) for an extra day off #it's not worth it and im finally realizing that! i just need to leave and start over somewhere else #something that doesnt destroy my health every day and doesnt aggravate my chronic pain disorder #something that lets me have a life outside of work!! anyways .... he told me hed really like me to do the position #and i told him to talk to me after the holidays since i thought i'd be gone by then. and im still here and its 2 weeks until the end LMAO #i think im just gonna call him i could get the nerve to finally tell him no all week. i just hate letting people down lmao #and also i kept humming and hawing about the position even though i knew it wasnt a good idea #alas ... it is ok to start over even if it feels like youve put a lot of effort and time into something
