i always feel guilty about not coming into work even if i get my shift covered and it makes no real difference. did all my admin today so the place will survive one day without me!! i just feel truly burnt out after working through the madness that is edinburgh in august and i think if i don’t start prioritising myself over my job i will probably lose my mind. i’ve been there two years now and the walls are closing in, i find myself sick of everything and everyone and i’m becoming incapable of letting things roll off me. and it feels really bad. all the usual inane customer service shit is getting to me. i just don’t feel like myself!!! so tomorrow i’m gonna lie in bed all day and drink coffee and read just kids. hopefully do some writing too. eat three square meals and REST

also this fell out of the parcel my trousers came in. signs & symbols

[getmean]

trousers in question. they’re swedish prison trousers from the 60s lol. button fly and a little metal tag on the front. i’m really short with a small waist and a big butt so normally trousers don’t fit me especially men’s ones so IDK what the previous owner of these was rocking but thank god for him

sorry i just had such a perfect unexpected day off work today. which has me feeling slightly guilty considering the circumstances but UGH it's my ferris bueller's day off. i've been feeling really depressed. but i ate an actual breakfast and went out and finished up my novel edits and sent them to my agent. then i wrote a good chunk of the dogpatch chapter for this week which i hope when i come to re-read tomorrow i'll find to be good to keep. then i walked home and ate a real lunch and read some of just kids which i've been meaning to re-read lately. IDK i just need to read about patti smith working her stupid job trying to make art it's timely okay. then i met up with my friends for some drinks. also last week i bought a pair of trousers on depop on a gamble because i was so sure they wouldn't fit because they're men's trousers but they came today and they're literally perfect :''') like they were made for me!! everything somehow came up milhouse...

thanks to an act of god (somebody died outside of my workplace) i don't have to go to work today . mixed emotions. i do feel like i somehow manifested this with all my work related depression/wishing something would happen that would mean i wouldn't have to go in. BUT NOT LIKE THIS! anyway i'm sure you all know how i'll be spending this unexpected time off...

“A pal of mine is coming through,” Merriell says abruptly one morning.  Eugene is half out the door, bent over lacing his shoes. His satchel hangs by his face and blocks his sight. Blindly he asks, “What?”
