This year:

Broke up with someone I’ve been with for 5 years but terrorized me.

Bought a car without a down payment (sorry credit score).

Found a great job unexpectedly.

Proved to myself I can still climb through mountains on an backpacking trip.

Didn’t collapse when two of my immediate family members moved out of state.

Let myself feel all the bad and the good feelings, not giving myself as much shit for it.

So,

My job is at a feed store! I have this little twerp who was getting trampled by the bigger babies with her, but isn’t she so sweet? She’s peeping for me but I need to eat my lunch 🥲. Chicken filled happiness and worries.

I just wanted to share ehehe ✌🏻

do genuinely find it fascinating how indeed.com is like the biggest job-hunting website out there and yet manages to be profoundly useless in every possible way

Who woke up at 6 in the morning, made a 1-hour journey to work, worked 8 hours and was fired at the end of the shift, is it just me or anyone else?

Summer in Madrid ✨

Hey there 😙 how’s everyone doing?

I finally finished my Master’s Degree 🤪🤪. I defended my dissertation on July 7th and got a 9/10 👏🏻 (not to brag but kinda 😌).

Starting a part-time job at a clothing store tomorrow (gotta save up a bit so I can go on holiday with my friends after 🧳☀️). Went to get some clothes for the uniform today and that’s about it. Little reset moment. 🖤

Starting a new job and then finding out everyone working there hates it is a mindfuck

Finally caught up with Apothecary Diaries. I can't believe they gave Maomao a gun.

there should be a job called puzzle solver where you solve puzzles and get paid a living wage . i would be so good at it.

I tried my best to move up, if it doesn’t happen and I stay where I’m at, I’m going to take a much needed break.

Sorry if I'm mixing you up with someone else, but you've worked security before, right?

If you're willing, I'd be really interested on your thoughts on the murderbot diaries or murderbot as a character with that in mind?

Like did you recognise aspects of your job in murderbots descriptions of security work? Or did they like throw you out of immersion in the story?

Anyway thanks and hope you're having a good day/evening wherever you are!

As a security guard who has read the first two Murderbot books, Murderbot has been the number one most realistic security specialist character I have ever seen in media so far 😭

The third most annoying thing in security in my experience is handling threats. The second most annoying thing is having no threats to handle and being bored. The number one most annoying thing is the client being an idiot

Ihave social anxiety which I am medicated for. When I am in uniform with clear instructions, that anxiety is zero. I have a script and a set of rules and that makes life easy. I’m super good at performing tasks with clear expectations and that’s kinda how I keep getting good offers, it’s super straightforward

Bad clients are clients who give stupid, inefficient, counterproductive, cruel, or flat-out illegal orders. There are ways of shutting that shit down without them losing heir shit, but it’s still a pain in the ass every time

I’m a security specialist. I specialize in security. This is what I am trained for- handling crisis situations and minimizing harm. If you, an off-shift cashier at pet smart, see me deescalating a situation and decide you’re gonna drop your untrained uninformed ass in there with zero context or skills and “help” because I look small and helpless, then all you’re doing is increasing my likelihood of getting hurt while increasing my paperwork load by like two hours, and I’m gonna hate you the entire time. What you have essentially done is promoted me to meat shield while giving the aggressor I’m calming down an obnoxious and aggravating hostage. Good god please do not

Yes, I am sometimes asked to stand perfectly still in a corner for several hours like a mannequin. What do I do to avoid going insane? Think about Star Trek and the very good fanfiction I’ll be reading on my break, mostly

Yes I can assist in evacuating tw location in the event of an environmental disaster. No I cannot tell my waiter that they put cilantro on the wrong order. Yes this makes perfect sense

I love Murderbot. I love how realistic it is. Like obviously I can’t speak for everyone in the industry but yeah I’ve worked for absolute dogshit security companies in the past and yeah a lot of the books so far are super accurate to that experience so A+ so far, honestly
