Tech Literacy

When people think of Cosmic Horror, they usually bring out Lovecraft, Chambers - or maybe Junji Ito if you're a bit younger. Primal dread is something that's only seen as being this distant thing that's only reserved for far-off eventualities along the lines of asking yourself what would happen if, like Tetsuo Mukoda in Long Dreams, you ended up living through millennia within the span of your eight-hour sleep cycle.

For me, horror is a bit more common. Not in my own life, mind you - I'm generally copacetic with the status of physical life and base Existential concerns as we know them - but the Sales reps I work with walk a razor's edge between blithe confidence and the kind of toe-curling, balls-shrinking primitive dread that's purely the product of the modern world.

You know the kind: looming deadlines, interest rates hiking, promos falling by the wayside - or if you're exceptionally dumb on the technological level, realizing on your own that, after years on end, your entire structure depends on Google. Not Google Business, mind you - you were too cheap to spring for a plan. You just cannibalized or created a throwaway "master" Google account and tied terabytes of customer data and CRM notes to it - out in the open.

You were too cheap to spring for a plan - and now a competitor's literally and quite simply copy-pasted your entire customer base to their own Google Sheet.

What do you think happens? What happens is I'm torn out of bed, scraped out of my warm nook between Sarah and Walt, by a screeching douchebag already ODing on caffeine at 7:40 AM who's just seen decades of customer loyalty go poof.

You realize that in this moment, you're the unknowable entity, from their end of things. You're Randolph Carter with the Silver Key, you're Tetsuo Mukoda with the body-warping and mind-altering brain-crystal that turns his dreams into Chtonic excursions, full to bursting with Fel knowledge.

"You're telling me public accounts aren't secure?!"

I grunt out of sleeplessness, aware that I probably look like HAL 9000 to Dave, in that moment. I'm the Sales Rep's idea of an inscrutable being that knows things.

"I don't know what to tell you, Steve. I've been telling you this since I started at the Old Place, but you never listened."

Douchebag howls into the morning air, I hear some sort of metal bowl clatter to the floor on his end, and his voice turns thready with the sudden and full grasp of his ignorance.

"The Sales Director's going to be so pissed; they'll probably fire me..."

He hangs up moments later.

There's something strange to seeing someone else's black abyss as it yawns under their feet - and you're just some guy with front-row seats to it all.

(Apologies if that's none if my business, I'm asking for myself here) Do you work? Like, have a job/regular occupation? And if not, is it because of your chronic illness and how do you handle life financially?

no, i don't work. i'm a disabled pensioner and have been since i was about 28 years old when my chronic illnesses reached the point where work was impossible. i did push through for a few years (symptoms began at 25) but the chronic pain especially grew to be too much too handle even part time work

i have mixed connective tissue disease (with symptoms of lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, sjogrens syndrome and scleroderma) and secondary fibromyalgia. i haven't had a day without pain in over a decade. i'm on low dose chemotherapy and have been for a very long time to treat it. it's pretty fucking awful

it's quite rare to be approved for a disability pension in your twenties in Australia, but the stack of medical support documents i sent in was over an inch thick and had enough proof for them to approve me in the end

i'm extremely lucky to be on the DSP for all these years. it doesn't pay a lot, it's not an easy life, i don't get to have holidays or buy myself nice new things when things fall apart. i repair. i buy second or third hand. i survive. my family supports me, and helped me with an affordable place to live. the nice things i do get are usually gifts from them or from my friends. my biggest indulgence is my two dogs, whose care and feeding sometimes costs me more than i spend on myself. but i couldn't live without them, not alone here

life is hard, but they make it easier 💛

@vvolfstare @grimmusings gets a Kayaa on my work break

———

So the walk up wasn’t that accessible for someone like them (not like stairs were a challenge to them anymore) and moving was a hellish nightmare. The thing that tripped them up was how close their door was to their neighbors.

Not like it really mattered, The first two days they unpacked in peace, cleaning the space every night with sage to the point that the scent stuck to their coils.

But as they were locking up the apartment, they could hear the floor creak before their neighbors door opened with some force into their shoulder.

“Oh sorry!!” They apologize, as they step back to unfold their white cane. “Bad timing. Sorry” they chuckle

Hey Lefties out there! Where’s a good place to buy left handed tools? I have a left handed intern and I want them to be able to learn using tools that are more comfortable for their hand rather than force them to use right handed tools, so any suggestions would be awesome.

One tool i’m looking for in particular is a crimper for cutting spiral book coils. Looks like this:

On Refusals

I don't know what it is with Anglophone customers of ours, but you do not have to justify yourself, when you refuse a promo or an offer. I quite literally do not need to hear about how insane your week has been and how you're lucky to be able to drive your car over for the forty-five minutes needed for your tire change.

If you can't, you can't. You'd figure this should be easy, right? All the Francophone clients I call are curt and direct and polite and understand that their daily schedule is their business alone, and all the Anglophone clients feel like they're channelling Trump while he's waffling for an explanation in front of the Supreme Court!

Don't give me a novella - just say no.

i really love being a teacher like just the way i get to gently introduce my students to different ways of thinking is so so rewarding. just today:

- i had 3 boys ask me if i would paint their nails with clear nail polish after 1 boy did (who I already had before). at first they were making fun of the first boy and the idea of it but then i was like “self care is so important, it’s so nice to just feel good about yourself and be nice to yourself.” 

- one of my boys was the only one in my room and he was MAD because the other kids left it messy so he took time to clean it up and organize it and I was like “thank you so much, I really appreciate it.” and he’s like “you dont need to thank me, it’s just what a man does” and i’m like “what do you mean?” and he’s like “you know, carry groceries in and clean up and stuff, I have to do it at home” and i’m like, “well, it’s definitely not an expectation to do that in my classroom so I really do appreciate you doing that for me, you’re making my day a lot less stressful so thank you”

- the kids were talking about how lame our school is lol and they are like “why do we even have an elevator our school is one hallway” and i was like “it’s because of the americans with disabilities act” and then they took a second and a girl was like, “yeah, because what if someone can’t walk that well” and then they started asking me if different medical conditions that people in their families had would count as disabilities 

- one of them was talking about his basketball skills and a girl was sassy to him and he was like i’m not gonna let a girl tell me shit about basketball” and i look at him and i’m like “excuse me?” and he’s like “that’s not what i meant, i meant her specifically” and i’m like “you need to say THAT girl then” and he’s like “okay but why do you have to make this a feminism thing like i’m not a feminist” and i’m like “well feminism just means that men and women have equal rights, you don’t think that should be true?” and he’s like “well idk, like there are some things women can do that men can’t and vice versa” and i’m like “like what?” and he’s like “like give birth” and I’m like “I’m going to push back: what about trans men, who can give birth, or infertile women, who cannot give birth? should they be excluded?” and at this point more of the class joined in on the conversation and for the most part it was very respectful and they were just asking legitimate questions. and then the first kid was like “i guess at the end of the day like people can do what they want because it’s not going to affect me” and i’m like “exactly! that’s so important to realize, more people need to take your mindset like that. just let people live their lives if they’re not hurting anyone”

The bad news is this meeting is taking forever and I'm hungry and I need to pee and I'm going to gnaw my arm off trying to escape

The good news is I thought of some good story ideas for my ocs, especially Holly
