sorry if i'm late! 🔥 Cytherea

Oh now here's something I DO have a controversial opinion about, which is that I do not like her one bit and it's not for the reasons people commonly list! in this series, everyone's committed a few murders and creeped on someone in a necromantic fashion. Those weren't my favorite houses anyway. rip but I didn't have much time to get attached. I have a lot of sympathy for anyone living in pain that long and having to speak to john gaius the whole time--or at least I would, if her personality wasn't specifically calculated to irritate me!!

I even understand her relevance to the plot and themes and theoretically I get the appeal of gideon/ cythere a. But every time she spoke to gideon I found myself vaguely annoyed wishing we could get back to other characters. I simply have a petty hatred that cannot be overcome. omg shut UP about Gideon's biceps. stop batting those eyelashes it looks stupid. "pretend I'm five and explain it to me" GOD could she be trying any harder. couldn't even get a personality of her own had to steal one from poor dulcie and didn't even do it right. cytherea hate club sorry

i just wanted to say :3 for SOME reason by fuckimg fate i guess my parents made me get a job at mcdonalds around the time you started posting about your in fast and food au and i just wanted u to know it gives me life. the horrors persist (mcdonalds) but it also persists for siffrin. hell yeah. i rly like your art and your little snippets of the au itself are soo good. keep it up (or dont!!! no pressure) but i just wanted u to know i really like it <3

Sending you so so many good vibes. I hope your coworkers are cool people who love you as much as you love them!! Don't let the managers stress you out!! Don't feel bad for taking breaks!! One day you WILL break the 9 to 5 time loop and live a happy healthy life with friends and a stable living situation and a job that doesn't stress you out!!!

I was permanently banned from r/anti_restaurant_work because I said American tipping culture was insane on a post where some server complained about a 10$ tip being "too little" because it didn't complain with their bullshit "you have to tip 18%-22% percent of the meal" rule. I know this is anti worker solidarity or whatever but American tipping culture is insane.

I am so beyond ready to quit this job. Wednesday cannot come fast enough.

finally got a job & then my car's engine immediately started smoking on the way home from meeting my supervisors & filling out tax paperwork. 🫠

I genuinely like long hair. I aspire to have long hair and look like a lot of men whos looks i admire.

I got compliments on looking so feminine and pretty recently

I cannot tell u how urgently i desired to shave all my fucking hair off. How unpleasant it felt to just Bam get reminded the way i intepret my own choice for wanting to look Any particular way in this world is always overshadowed by anyone outside me deciding theyd Prefer me a certain way for their own reasons

New Employee aquired today

My manager: Hey Grace maybe you can show NE some things, but don't overwhelm her

Me:

Me: so like. make sure it's not a repeat of my first day???

[devilsskettle]

i also just feel so bitter towards other people lately. all the posturing and ego and entitlement…… i see it everyday everywhere and i’m sick of it

[perilegs]

no ones been having a good time at work recently since we had layoffs and people leaving otherwise too so it is kind of shit and management is worse. so i have been feeling kind of off about being here but at the end of the day i'm literally working an office job. this is a dream come true. i can do jackshit most of the day and it's fine bc if i'm not here everything will go to shit and if there's a problem within our sales system having someone from the outside fixes it costs way more than what i cost even tho i do get paid well bc you have to have a bachelors to do this job. also the stuff i do is so varied this is my dream job anyways. there's not been a single morning i've been dreading to go to work. i don't do customer service. if i need to come into work a bit later or leave a bit earlier some day i can do that. i love complaining but i'm honestly so happy with the way things are rn. yes this was brought on by me having a dream about my old job

[cryptid-crusader]

One of the funniest things about any customer service job is when customers think you are supposed to care when they threaten to do business elsewhere. No customer service agent or low level manager has ever in their life cared if you are taking your business elsewhere. You are going against a corporation in a capitalist hell that doesn't care about you at all my dude, I don't know what you think telling me "I'm gonna take my business elsewhere" is gonna change. 🤷‍♀️

btw ive never been opposed to the idea of having a "regular job" to support my art career as i needed it, but the times ive had one (and ive had MANY) i would always be too exhausted to draw anything afterwards, all the jobs ive had were minimum wage and highly physical

i suddenly had the epiphany to get a weekend job bc I DONT DRAW ON WEEKENDS ANYWAY, my mom has weekends off from work so its impossible to do anything ^^;

and its served the dual purpose of providing a little cash AND i dont have to be around much when my mom is home lol <3

idk how i didnt think of this sooner, i think it just wasnt the right time til now <3

[gideonisms]

Let us all send up a positive thought that I will get hired somewhere else soon, win the lottery, or my landlord will suddenly decide they don't care about rent

[no27-autonation-honda]

not to be a colossal fucking cowabummer about everything but it really does suck that like. my really chill and like. supposedly more realistic type of career goal feels about as unattainable as like a kid saying he wants to be a singer or something

[boyenthusiast]

pls genuine question how do you make friendly small talk with customers ???? at my fast food job all i can think of is "hey how are you doing?" and stuff related to the weather. like what.

[istherewifiinhell]

First reprimand for shitty customer service <3. Well first one that wasnt just just my boss laughing and saying a local famous person accused me of stealing their wallet [left it on a shelf].

[sexually-confused-goblin]

After a year and a half working as a bubble tea barista in a rather small shop, I overheard one of the most stereotypical things you could say to a kid today in person for the first time. While the dad (or maybe grandfather) and his daughter (or granddaughter - not much older than 10) were waiting for their ordered drinks, he turned to the girl and started with the "Look closely! If you don't stay in school-"

Bro, first of all, rude (if you want to talk shit about others and their job, at least do it far enough away, so that said others don't overhear you) - especially if you expect someone's service.

And second: Both owners went to university, I'm currently studying at university, and my other coworker is still in school and too young to even be able to go to uni (but plans to) ... so there goes your argument, I guess.
