AITA for thinking Kim Possible should charge money for saving the world over and over again?.... a little bit?.... just a tiny smidge?...
#I've had this opinion since episode one but the Team Impossible ep just made me even more frustrated about it#She and Ron have FBI level crime fighting skills and they both have to work retail jobs? Like seriously?#kim possible

I'm convinced that anyone who refers to food service, retail, agriculture, or any other profession that doesn't require high levels of education as "unskilled labor" has never worked a single one of those jobs. I think anyone who says something like flipping burgers or making coffee is "unskilled" should be forced to work a full shift there with no training whatsoever and see how that goes for them
#'unskilled labor' bitch everything requires skill#i used to work a manual labor job at home depot#did that require a bunch of education?#no#did it require me to build skills and muscles and also deal with some of the worst people on planet earth without losing my shit?#absolutely#get over yourself#labor#retail#food service

Mina performs stenography as she describes everything around her and interviews total strangers about local legends and is ready to write her Observations On Northeastern English History Part A all while hanging on her sleepless emotional state by the skin of her teeth but she carries on and wipes her tears away and cuts newspaper articles about the dead men and the sea.
Girl was clearly born to be a detective or a correspodant herself. Her job is being a schoolteacher assistant of what, decorum for good girls??? Her skills are WASTED there!
#Here I relate to Mina Murray#MY skills are also wasted on this retail job#dracula daily#mina murray#re: dracula

every day my peers remind me of how much of a failure I am
#I've stated that I've been stagnant since 2018#lotsa trauma happened in those years#I've been very slowly getting myself back together#but I look at my brother's date mate#and she's the same age as me and so much more put together#I've got another friend of the same age who's already a manager#a friend younger than me is building connections and improving skills at a wild rate#and then there's me#stuck in a shitty retail job#my only passion in writing but I'm so burnt out I can't even do that right#my mom constantly reminds me how I don't even seem to act like an adult#and it just makes me want to curl up

adhd king 🗣️🗣️🗣️

#his social skills are absurd esp in the game canon of the protagonist being a teenager#i’ve been writing player character as an adult with him for obvious reasons but it’s funny/interesting in multiple ways#to think about how fuckin weird this guy is#he is truly working retail to fund his real hyperfixation while god’s nepo baby gets to do all that shit on easy mode#i think in game canon he just straight up hates the player and has no personal investment in them#but changing it so that she’s an adult kinda on his level makes their relationship throughout the game SUPER interesting#not even for romance reasons#she kinda becomes a foil to him in a way the plucky kid isn’t#it’s just really fun to work with this character i’m so glad i came across this game!#pla

I need to know what is fundamentally wrong with me to have not heard anything back from any of the employers I have applied to recently....
#like they've all been within my skill and experience level so what the hell?#what is wrong with me?#or rather what's wrong with employers not wanting someone who has 10yrs experience in retail and customer service and other stuff etc etc??#aimz talks

not my manager going "WHAT WHY DO YOU HAVE A DOT CARD" when i was informing his son abt what a dot physical entailed..............
like? bro? why NOT?
#clown horn#i guess he doesn't know that i'm trying to learn enough skills so that i'm all covered in the future#and i can get whatever part time job i want on the side#i WANT to break into warehouse and production jobs! i don't wanna do boring office jobs for the rest of my life!#and retail/food are completely out of the question. don't even ask#so like. why not. you NEED a dot card for literally everything in my state if you wanna handle any type of machine anyways#WHY NOT?#but on the upside he's licensed to train ppl on forklifts and pallet jacks so he's gonna offer me a course for free!!! :) yay#noice

got a good grade in work today (sold $1300 worth of swimwear in a single transaction and the regional manager told my store manager to tell me she’s impressed)
#to be fair this was not so much my sales skills and moreso that this lady was just stupid wealthy and not picky#like she tried one bikini top on and then was content with just getting me to grab her the same size in everything she pointed at#despite me letting her know things might fit differently depending on the style#but still felt very good to send through the little super sale email after my my first few closes were all on days we made close to zero#which is not my fault at all it’s just because no customers are coming in at this time of year to buy eggs benny swimwear#plus the store location is just in a bit of a dead spot#anyways feeling v lucky to have nailed a super sale four weeks into being employed#especially on account of the way i’m a nepo hire with no retail sales experience and a four year gap in my resume#personal

The way labor has no value to people is so sickening
#charlie talks#i work full time at a store i also sell my work at#and its just barely more expensive than my made in a factory competition#and people regularly leave complaints that we even sell that stuff at all#HOE YOURE STILL BUYING IT#my shit is literally right next to it#we have factory made bracelets that probbaly cost cents to make but retail for $27 and change plus tax#i sell my handmade chainmaille bracelets i make literally one ring at a time with my hands RIGHT NEXT TO THOSE#and NO ONE will buy them#they sell for $30 plus tax#so why do you want to dictate what we sell when you dont even practice what you preach its so aggravating#i can do so much i can knit i can sew i can work with wire and metal i can paint and draw with ink and pencils and whatever medium#and not any of that is worth doing under capitalism because of the time it takes to do and the time it takes to develop those skills#i also have to be my own marketing and PR team which ive never been good at because im a bad liar#i dont like upselling people because at least for my poor ass it has the opposite effect#so i guess im just fucked

hmmm I do not see how I'm going to be able to make it to 26
#5 months left until then but like. I say this not in a I'm a threat to my own safety way but in a way that expresses#how I cannot parse my own future. its august and Ive accomplished nothing. no jobs want me. everyone is moving on with their lives#doing stuff making plans being successful and I just. have nothing. nothing to show for anything. I dropped out of college#didnt work for a year and then had that retail job for not even a full year#got fired. it's been a year since then and what do I have. fuck all that's what. the world keeps turning and I'm stuck in quicksand#watching everyone dawdle off into the sunset#no marketable skills. I won't go back to retail. I won't do food service. I refuse to debase myself for a big corporation just to live#I won't compromise my morals for a big company just to live. every day I wake up and for what#to just roll the boulder that is a 24 hour day up a hill and when I go to sleep it rolls back down and I have to do it over again#I've been doing that for what seems like forever. there's no change. nothing has changed. everyone else has but I haven't#no life no job no money no prospects it really would be better if I just fuckin. well there'd be no major changes to anyone's day to day#I can say that much

I hate you, applications. I hate you, job market. I hate you, resumes that nobody wants because they want you to fill all the same info onto another thing. I hate you companies that want your name, phone number, email, and address to create yet another account that you don't need in order to submit an application and receive endless useless emails about it. I hate you, job listings that are set to entry-level, but also require an actual PHD (I literally saw this today). I hate you programs that don't accept resumes made on Google docs. I hate you buzz words and algorithmic scanners.
#i just want to get out of retail#ive done this for 10 years now i want out#but i dont have a bachlors in anything and no marketable skills like programing or whatever#what do i do?
