#why is it 90% of my job

[thepoetrytheorist]

California girls are unforgettable.

California drivers make you fucking life flash before your eyes.

#california #driving #katy perry #im californian #california usa #i have nearly gotten into 3 severe accidents this week because of other drivers making really poor choices #like crossing over 4 lanes while going over 80 and trying to cut through less than a car space between me and the car in the lane next to me #if i hadnt noticed and hit my brakes they'd have hit me. #also a semi truck that decided to shift lanes on a y. from the other side of the y. no indicator or nothing #jut the fucking hope that i would notice and give him space because hes bigger as he floors it in front of me. #i hate driving here #why is it 90% of my job

[A sad violin song plays over an image of a sad hamster]

Pac: This doesn't have anything to do with me – I wear a blue sweatshirt, you're crazy, this mouse doesn't even have a sweatshirt, this hamster! [Reading chat] Am I a depressed hamster?

[ Transcript continued ↓ ]*

–

Pac: Actually– that's fine! I embrace that idea – of course I'm going to be depressed, are you crazy? [He hits his desk, then starts counting off people on his fingers] Fit is gone, Richarlyson is gone, Ramon is gone, Bagi and Empanada who were always there when we were there are also gone, I haven't seen them! It's just me and Tubbo, and sometimes Philza shows up.

Pac: I lost Chume Labs, I lost the Favela, I lost Murder Mystery, I lost Ilha Chume Labs, it's crazy! Look at how much I've lost, and I've gained nothing! Of course I'm going to be depressed, are you crazy?! How am I supposed to be happy?!

Pac: [Reading chat] "You have us Pac," that's true, thank you. No, that's true, sorry.

#Pactw #QSMP #Pac #March 18 2024 #As much as I love keeping people updated about Pac / the other Portuguese-speaking creators #I think I might not make as many transcribed posts for their clips anymore #I just don't think I'm qualified enough to be transcribing things for a language I don't know #like yeah we have the Qlobal Translator and Aypierre's translators to rely on #And I'm always upfront when I'm not 100% sure about a translation #but I've been thinking about it a lot and it kinda makes me feel a bit icky. Idk. #I might be overthinking this but I just I don't want to spread around translations I'm not super confident about #esp. since I know a lot of people cite my clips in analysis posts or link them to other people as resources #and 90% of the time I'm like ''Hell yeah I love seeing people getting a lot of use out of the archive'' #but sometimes I get a bit anxious like ''Did I do a good enough job translating this'' #''Am I ruining someone's entire perception of a conversation or character because I left one word out or mistranslated something?'' #And like I said that's normally not a HUGE concern since if I'm not certain about a translation I just won't post a clip. but you know #idk it might just be the anxiety talking but I really really don't want to spread bad info #Happy to hear other folks' perspective #I'm really grateful for people like Bell and Pix and others who translate clips and I always try to reblog those #but we don't have a ton of people posting clips & translating things on Tumblr since we're so English-centric #which is part of the reason WHY I like sharing clips of the non-English-speaking CCs #but at the same time I want to do an accurate job representing what they're saying #Maybe I'll just start posting things and give a TLDR context of what they're talking about but not a transcript #that way native-speakers can hop in and add translations if that's something they're comfortable doing #and if not then well. at least I'm not sharing something that isn't super accurate #idk I'm just thinking out loud a bit in the tags #But I'm open to hearing other people's thoughts on the matter #Anyways giant rant aside. q!Pac is NOT doing ok rn

Hi hi I have returned once again to dress up my sillies in clothes they deserved to be in

Anyway timelapse undercut :3

Anyway sorry for my indecisiveness when I was drawing this I planned on making the timelapse and then I was like nah but then I was like wait a minute maybe I do wanna record so I finally give in and hit record timelapse while I was doing the shadow base 😅

#asukart #TBH its so hard for me to draw Utonium in cool clothes like why there aren't many cool loking clothes for middle aged men other than a vest #and a pants? like why cant he wear cunty dresses and skirts??? Why cant he be covered in Viviene Westwood? #WAIT what am I saying of course he can I'm an artist wdym I cant draw him in cunty dresses and skirts? ok folks that will be my next art #Chloe is always so fun for me to draw and dress up like yes she is that girl a vintage 90s karl lagerfeld chanel girl yes #realistically Chloe wouldn't be able to afford the fit with the job I put her in but I am her God #and what kind of a cruel mother am I to deny my child the imitation chanel fit that she deserves? #anyway please suggest me an outfit for Utonium I cant keep on giving him pinterest nerdy retro fashion men to my man #like he needs something better than that. Maybe icy girl winter for Utonium is him covered in YSL idk save me high fashion girlies save me #professor utonium #selfship #selfshipping #selfship community #selfshipping community #selfship art #self insert oc #self insert community #self insert art #oc x canon #si x canon #ppg professor

#why do I have so many toy weapons ? oh well you see sometimes things end up broken at your job #and you simply save them from the garbage obviously #absolutely not a system you can abuse #there’s more comics and books but those go on a proper book shelf that right there is a classic reprint of mirage from the 90s #tmnt #rottmnt #I can’t find my bulba hat or else it would be right there on the bulba shelf

Wait so do u think timmy wasnt neglected as a child or do u think that neglegence isnt a big deal as long as their rich

Damn friend you really asked that in the most dishonest way you possibly could, like the only reason why I wouldn't think tims parents are neglectful is bc they're rich and not bc I just don't think they qualify as neglectful but let's go into it anyway

First off let's get our definition correct neglectful in parenting means the failure of a parent or guardian to provide basic needs for a child such as food clothing shelter medical care or supervision, which when people refer to tims parents being neglectful they're usually talking about that last one but even that's a stretch considering while tims parents were away working alot they never just left tim to fend for himself usually tim had someone else to watch him mostly in the form of boarding school so by the broad definition Jack and Janet drake were not neglectful parents - just bc theyre weren't always physically beside tim does not make them neglectful

Now do I think Jack and Janet were perfect parents - no but I do think people give them a lot of grief for reasons beyond their control such as them being away alot since theyre archaeologists and it's part of their jobs to travel alot personally i think it'd be worse if instead of leaving tim in a safe stable environment they were constantly upheaving him, moving him around and disrupting his schooling so what he could hang out at a dig site? Also we don't actually know for sure how often Jack and Janet were away for - we just know Tim wishes they were home more which btw is understandable I'm not saying Tim can't be upset at his parents not being around more, I'm just saying it's not exactly a good enough reason to jump to jack and janet were the worst parents ever like a lot of people seem to do.

The other thing people like to point to when talking about bad parenting is Jack and how he interacts with Tim after Janet died which honestly is just alot of the parent and child love each other but don't understand each other causing conflict troupe it's not exactly something I could really say puts Jack on the worst dad's list especially since he does try to be better and does get that character development as time goes on (you know before he dies too)

Anyway this is all long enough but I wanted to end on a cute note with these pages from this week's issue of batman #134

#ask #anon #i think my problem when people talk about jack and janet #is that they tend to not think about it from a human perspective #like why didnt jack and janet quit their jobs #maybe bc they loved their jobs and being a parent shouldnt stop you from doing a job you like doing #theres also something to be said that these characters were written in the 90s and yearly 00s #but yeah i dont think they were perfect #and i do think tims allowed to feel how he does about them #but that includes how tims allowed to love them and miss them #oh and just to cover my bases #batman spoilers #wednesday spoilers #tuesday spoilers #batman 134 spoilers

Babygirl I can concieve of stephcass dynamics you couldn't even imagine (arospec Cass not understanding why "probably bi but has a job so she doesn't have time to think about that" Steph apparently needs a man (she doesn't, it would just be nice) and doesn't want to platonically settle down with cass in their old age)

#ramblings of a lunatic #dc comics #stephcass #another sure to be no-notes banger #anyway I think steph and cass are both very. meh on labels #like i said Steph has a job (in my heart it's retail or like a fast food joint or something but in canon its just being batgirl/spoiler) #so she's not thinking about that rn #and cass was raised so outside of conventional society that she. technically understands why ppl want labels for things #but when you grow up in essentially a few rooms with just you and one other guy 90% of the time it just feels unnecessary in her heart #likewise she was raised so far from conventional romance and has such strong emotions about those she cares about #that she's just. not that interested in delineating romantic vs platonic feelings. She Likes You. Deal w/ it #steph on the other hand. oh boy steph #I'm not gonna say comphet I genuinely think she was deeply madly in love w/ tim and that's important to her character #but at the same time she's so. she's so #steph puts a lot of stock in her romantic relationships bc shes on a perpetual quest for connection and to be seen and appreciated #but. at the same time. she resents that part of her i think (at least early spoiler characterization does?- #-local girl desperately wants your approval and would rather be waterboarded than admit that to herself bc that's embarrassing) #so she's just kinda. acting like she's in it for the fun of it but that girl is searching for a soulmate #i genuinely think pre break-up she thought tim was the guy she was gonna marry. not consciously but if it were anyone it'd be him #and the whole ''married with kids'' thing IS something i think she wants. not every female character wants to be married/a mom #but Stephanie does imo #(also lets not even get into how much her breakup with tim SHOULD'VE effected her considering how it went down- #-and how that was never really gone into besides being hinted at in batgirls and kinda. dismissed in Tim's pride special- #-like on the one hand i get it bc of optics but on the other hands. he's really important to her! this should make her so much more upset!! #ahem. anyway #I'm not even the worlds biggest tim/stephanie guy i just think they're inch resting #and Cass. is close w/ Tim and Steph and should Get all of this since she's so adept at reading ppl #but like I said she's bad at categorizing platonic/romantic feelings in herself and doesn't totally Get it w/ steph #i should just write fic about this at this point these tags are too much

everyday at work i hear something that makes me want to strangle rich people even more

#client wanted to put a swimming pool directly in front of their bedroom to stop. snakes. from getting in. apparently #they’re an older couple and have no intention of swimming in the pool #it’s just to stop. the snakes #also the house is for the two of them and it has three bedrooms. and all the spaces are massively oversized. #they also own the house next door and almost certainly many more #since they just put in an application for a 90 million dollar development somewhere else #hooooo. i like my coworkers and like the technical aspects of my job but im like. losing it #also that time a client yelled at me bc her tiles came late from italy like wtf #am i the tile manufacturer ??? am i the australian border force ???? am i the shipping boat ???????? #anyway im going insane. anyone wanna pay me to draw whatever characters i want forever #why don’t i have any interests in industries that are not notorious for horrible work hours …..

i start a new job tomorrow and two and a half hours of my day is blocked off for 15 minute teams meetings with each member of my new team and like it’s nice in theory and i understand why we’re doing it but good god imagine all the small talk that’s going to occur. the weather talk. the nice to meet you talk. im going to implode.

starting to feel like maybe i wasn’t cut out for this whole being alive business

#when i was little i knew exactly what i wanted to do and how i wwnted my life to look #i knew what state i wanted to live in and what i wanted to go to school for when i was six years old #i knew who i wanted to be #and none of that changed all my dreams are still the ones i had when i was so young #but i havent achieved any of them #not a single one #and i just feel like. whats the point #if the rest of my life is like this i dont think i can do it #i have a decent job that i can definitely live off of im not struggling in any way #i just. nothing is how it was supposed to be #i dont feel good when i look at any aspect of my life so whats the point #i dont see myself becoming Happy in the future #and i dont know why i should keep going if im not going to be happy #and everyone tells me im still so young i could still reach my dreams #but when theyve been the same 90% of my life it really doesnt feel like it #idk #tbd

i got like three different compliments from people today on my customer service and im not gonna lie I greatly enjoy feeling like im winning at Restaurant Host

#two from guests one from newly promoted manager #i find it kinda funny when I get props from people for squeezing their reservation in or changing it without complaint or just doing #whatever in order to get them seated/reserved/etc despite whatever circumstances come up just cause like #it comes off as caring customer service which isn’t totally Wrong or anything #but I’m not trying to go above and beyond or anything at all generally. in my brain its just like. #restaraunt tetris. autistic little game in my head where I try to make everyone fit into a floorplan and update things accordingly and take #on new problems to solve and so on #I wish it was busier more often so I could actually Do this more often and like. use my autistic powers like this #cause when it’s not busy I’ve Hardly got anything to do on this front and I either get painfully bored or start stealing other peoples jobs #im. half joking there #anyway excited for thanksgiving cause in addition to 1.5x holiday pay we also hav fucking 90 people booked in the span of three hours #which will be chaotic as hell but hehehehehehe NO BOREDOM FOR ME #now THAT’s restaraunt tetris. I keep looking at the floorplan for that day and just being baffled by it because it’s. a lot #anyway. idk why im journaling like this I guess I just don’t talk to people enough irl outside of work #kibumblabs

had to go into the dt core for an appt and decided to hurt myself by going for a coffee surrounded by good-looking young professionals

#the talkies #why do they all get to have jobs and not me :((( #wish i could be them #but im trying to focus on enjoying free time while i have it #bc i know the moment i get a job (if it ever happens) im gonna be so emo about waking up early and wasting 90% of my life working #also i had to drive in rush hour traffic after a snowfall for this appt and it was like. net zero information lmao #and the endo office was dead empty and dead quiet so it felt so awkward
