every time I cook something that's halfway decent, I'm so pleased with myself. I know it's dumb but I hate cooking and so I'm really bad at it but I made chicken noodle soup and it isn't bland and I'm extremely proud of myself for this very minor thing I've done

I sat down to stare at digits in mando'a today and noticed something fun. Let me see if I can articulate it.
According to KT's archives, the numerals below are canon.
solus - one t'ad - two ehn - three cuir - four rayshe'a - five resol - six e'tad - seven sh'ehn - eight she'cu - nine ta'raysh - ten olan - hundred ta'raysholan - thousand
At first glance, they just look like numbers, yeah? And the first four are pretty straight forward, solus, t'ad, ehn, cuir. It's after five, rayshe'a, that things start to get kind of confusing in my brain. But look! I saw the trick! Six, resol, is resol. Seven, e'tad, e'tad-- or, e+t'ad. If we assume re- and e are both a carry over from rayshe'a, you're legit just creating five plus one (5+1) not 6; it means six, but that's not really what's said. And I think this quantifies based on the next two; eight, sh'ehn, is from five's rayshe'a with three's ehn, becoming five plus 3 (5+3), and nine, she'cu, is five's rayshe'a with four, cuir.
"What about higher numbers?" They show us! Ten is ta'raysh, or two, t'ad, plus five, rayshe'a. Two-five. Olan sets our standard for hundred, and using the same basis for the other words, ta'raysholan becomes two-fives+hundred, with ta (t'ad, from two), raysh (rayshe'a, from five) and olan for hundred. It's possible olan is a mutated/altered version of solus but I'm not quite sure.
"How does this work? What about even higher numbers?" This plus this equals this. Five plus three equals eight. After that things get tricky. I can't find an official morphology for those numbers at the moment. What do you think? Is twelve ta'ta'raysh, two two five? Or is it ta'raysh'ta, two-fives-two? Or, more likely, is it ta'raysh t'ad? Hard to say. Is 111 olan ta'raysh solus, hundred ten one? Or would you say e'sol, as a way of saying triple one? What about even higher numbers? How do you get to a million, a billion, a trillion?

Yesterday I had a 84ct donut order for a church at 7:30am. By noon when I left, they never had come to pick them up. FYI: that means I did twice the number of donuts that I normally do for nothing. I mean, if they're still there this morning I will give them to my co-workers and that will make them (a little bit) happy. But, still. I will have wasted time, which annoys me.
BUT
My supervisor had me bake cookies yesterday for the first time in weeks and I was stupidly happy and left my job feeling like I accomplished something. When the co-managers came up to ask for cookies, we actually had them.

one time I used the ben affleck smoking reaction image in the family group chat and my mom replied with the funniest possible response which was: "mommy doesn't know who the guy is???" and that phrase has not left my brain since. I'll see blorbos on my dash that I don't recognize and I'll be like well it seems mommy doesn't know who the guy is.

>Join a union
>Hear people constantly complaining that the current union leadership is super corrupt, it's all just the same ten guys making all the decisions in secret and nobody else in the union ever gets to know what's going on
>Go to the monthly union meetings that are completely open to all 1200 union members
>The only attendees are the same ten guys every month, giving detailed reports about everything that's going on

"hey why are all the barrier garments like linen shirts or chemises or combinations going away?"
"oh we have more washable fabrics now! you don't need to worry about sweat reaching your outer clothing when you can just chuck it in the washing machine!"
"cool!"
[100 years later]
"so uh all of those new washable fabrics are leaching microplastics into our water, and the constant machine-washing wears garments out faster. they're also not really sturdy enough to be mended, so we keep having to throw them out and now the planet is covered in plastic fabric waste that will never break down. also it turns out that the new washable fabrics hold odor-causing bacteria VERY well. so could we get those barrier garments back please?"
"sorry babe linen now costs $100000/yard and since it's been so long without them, nobody knows how to adapt barrier garments to the current styles anyway"
"..."
"maybe try this new $50 undershirt made of Special Sweat-Wicking Plastic Fabric! :) :) :)"

I wish we had more female characters like Eleanor Shellstrop. One of the most unlikable people you've ever met. Read a Buzzfeed article on most rude things you can do on a daily basis and decided to use that as a list of goals. Makes everyone's day worse just by being there. Dropped a margarita mix on the ground and tried to pick it up, only to get hit by a row of shopping carts which pushed her into the road where she was hit by a boner pill delivery truck, killing her instantly. Cannot keep a romantic partner despite being bisexual. Had a terrible childhood but will die before she gets therapy. Best employee at a scam company. Just the worst but also can't help but root for her to improve.
Absolute loser. Girl-failure. Bad at almost everything. Literally perfect female character.
