Check In Thread - Late Night Edition - How Are You, Comrade?
Opening up a space for everyone to talk about how they're doing! Got some cool stuff going on? Feeling kinda down? Let's talk about it!
Remember you are loved
Started "working" with Outlier, basically training AI responses. Minimum wage, boring ass work, but i put in 70 hours this past week (most of it time thievery). Behind on rent and bills, but if I can push myself for 2 more weeks of this I can maybe catch up! Had a few "serious" job interviews this week, so we'll see where they go. The one I'm looking forward to most is a pet care company, but no response after a phone call like 10 days ago. Partner just got a job today so that's cool!
Beyond that...I dunno. Just feeling kinda blah and not very great. Both tummy and brain troubles today.
I fucking hate Israel. My fucking job (that keeps cutting my hours) gets product from them. My boss came up with a "fun challenge" today where we're given little beads if we talk to customers, just the most asinine, baby-brained stuff. They keep erasing my "FREE PALESTINE" graffiti in the toilet, so I'm slowly, day by day, carving it into the stall so that they can't take it off.
I can't avenge them, I can't avenge the Palestinians, I'm a coward, but at least carved in plastic will be my way of coping with the suffering.
Lmao hell yeah I'm glad you carved the plastic. It would be funny if you got your own beads and started giving them to your coworkers for fulfilling random mundane objectives, really throw a wrench into the work beadconomy.
People were joking that they could start faking beads or finding out where the beads were being bought. This retail job really puts the "wooden" in wooden medal. Did I mention that there are cash rewards and that you can get beads taken away too?
