#maybe I should more accurately say I've entered the early-mid 2000's rom com journalist era of my life but without the rom or the com

Lately as I write about things I don’t particularly care about but don’t mind learning about I feel like I understand Becky Bloomwood. 🤣 I don’t have the shopping addiction, but sometimes you can end up finding yourself in a weird niche for writing. “bored to tears” is accurate description at the moment as I look up specs and wonder how anyone can look at something and go yeah that’s exactly the same as the 2001 model in style but if you look here at this part, that’s similar to the 2011 one, and this, this is the exciting new feature that’s just...not exciting to me. 😅

#mumbling about work #I've realized I've entered the confessions of a shopaholic part of my life #slaps the roof of the top of a brand new car coming out in the near future 'you would not believe how little I care' #though sometimes there's fun little tidbits #or like I actually cover news #and honestly I'm just happy I'm writing because no other department would let me because they're short staffed for admin #which is their own fault #they refuse to hire anyone full time to manage admin tasks or do admin tasks #the one person working full time for admin is overseas and being paid peanuts with 0 benefits #and it makes me so mad #anyway this was brought on by the fact I saw one of the articles I was using as a source was written by a woman #and realized huh I might have enough clips to do this elsewhere #and then the cringe of omg please not this niche #i need to start job hunting again #was the devil's wears prada the same? #honestly I think so if I remember the book correctly #because she doesn't give two figs about fashion either at the start of the book #and honestly both of 'em economics and fashion would throw me for a loop too #but I think...I could care or spin both a little bit easier then checks notes knowing why people are excited over tires #maybe I should more accurately say I've entered the early-mid 2000's rom com journalist era of my life but without the rom or the com #unless it's irony and stress because there's so much of both #that's where I am in my rom com hero journey #which is hilarious because Korea gave me all the k-drama cliches possible #so I feel like I went back a couple steps
