So. Work has been concerningly quiet for the last month, and it sounds like we're getting ready to start the renovation on the facility pretty soon. Which means I'm in a fun position of finding out my hours are going to become limited. I'm going to be forced from full-time into part-time, with no actual guarantee of how many hours I'll be able to work in a week. Which has me anxious and terrified. Because I'm obviously someone who loves change.

Luckily in December, I started working on some backup finance plans which has gone well. If I do end up losing out on my usual paycheck, I would at least have more time to devote to OF and working on my jewelry business with the hopes of being able to vend at markets. Having time available to create things would be tremendous for me and my mental health. It would also be a stepping stone to me being able to leave Houston and do what I do from anywhere I want.

I've been saying for months at this point that if this job doesn't work out, I think I'm just done with the funeral industry. And maybe Texas tbh. I don't know exactly what I could do instead, but my two current side hustles are a great start. And I've been putting a lot of work into online Community Management and Moderation, which I could turn into another gig.

I think I've felt the writing on the wall for a while now, so I'm glad I immediately started making preparations instead of just waiting to see what might happen. But it sounds like things are going to be kind of tough for a while going forward.

It IS true that being on here gives you a tumblr accent. This morning my mother asked me something and i replied "i don't know i've never heard these words in that order" and she nearly choked laughing. It wasn't even that funny

Neurotypical Person: "Just talk to people. Stop being afraid of rejection. The only way you'll fail is if you don't even try. Have some confidence."

Autistic Person: (asks whatever questions they can think of from a prepared list and the conversation ends up being awkward and forced)

Autistic Person: (infodumps about their special interest and gets labeled as annoying)

Autistic Person: (comments on something they observe and gets labeled as judgmental)

Autistic Person: (approaches random people in random places, not realizing that there are some places where people don't expect to be approached, and gets threatened)

Autistic Person: (talks to someone, misses a subtle cue that they want to be left alone, and gets labeled as disrespectful of boundaries)

Autistic Person: (tries to join someone's conversation and gets labeled as an eavesdropper)

Autistic Person: (teases someone as a joke because they've seen that that's how a lot of people interact with each other, not realizing that they don't have enough of a connection with this person to do that, and gets labeled as mean)

Autistic Person: (tries to talk to someone who's already talking to someone else and gets labeled as rude for interrupting, and waiting until they're alone to avoid interrupting isn't an option because that rarely ever happens)

Autistic Person: (approaches someone or faces in their general direction while trying to think of what to say to them, and gets labeled as a creep for hovering or staring)

Autistic Person: (talks to someone too often and gets labeled as clingy)

Autistic Person: (talks to someone, by some miracle it works and this person actually enjoys the conversation, but now they have to do it again and again and again, and they eventually run out of things to talk about or do something wrong)

Autistic Person: "I don't get it. I talked to people. I did exactly what I was told to do. And I didn't say anything sexual, anything gross, anything about death, or anything else that would be considered 'obvious'. But it didn't work. It can't be because I did something wrong, because I followed the advice exactly and so many people insisted that that's all I have to do. There must be something wrong with me. Maybe I'm just unattractive."

sherlock bbc ending in flames and subsequently becoming universally panned across tumblr, now only known as having ridiculous storytelling, terrible writing, and the most ugly-ass looking motherfuckers in the business is the poetic karmic ending to the fandom trying to get elementary cancelled before it even premiered.

anyway, happy 10 years to elementary.

"Nine and Donna would've hated each other" WRONG they would ADORE each other they would be the two cattiest bitches in the book club. Donna would lean over and tell him "honestly sounds like Rassillion was a bit of a cunt" and he snorts so hard he almost regenerates right then and there
