I'm currently packing corn, I have packed too much corn. We must now sell all the bags of corn before I can pack corn again. Mr. Speedy is happy that I'm faster than his other workers. The adhd goblin has taken hold. Now I just wanna pack corn, but I must wait.

#corn #too much corn #im getting paid 20 an hour for this #also im like halfway through the truck of corn #i want more people to come so i may pack corn #ehlers danlos syndrome #hypermobile ehlers danlos #actually adhd #adhd #adhd go brrrr #adhd gremlin #adhd goblin #hyperfixation

When ppl in person realize i can draw, and i mention im writing, theyre like: oh are you making a comic? Then when i say no, it took me 30 days to do a 30 page 1 chapter comic last time I tried at 4-6 hours of work a day and ideally id like a turnaround of like one 30 page chapter per 1-2 weeks if i was going to do it long term so. No. I am not making comics any more.

Then theyre like: are u gonna illustrate ur book???

And while i deeply appreciate the sentiment. Its also like... well my good sir madam elder, do u typically... look for adult novels with illustration pages? I mean yes i love illustrations too but im not sure why id draw extra, when im already gonna probably make my own cover, and i want my books to be enough within confines of expected that ppl idk... give em a chance? Idk. Food for thought. Do i illustrate my book chapters mm

#rant #shdhdh #to be fair the person who asked me expected like a 100 page handwritten poem book with illustrations #not a 300-500 page novel when she asked if i was gonna do illustrations #i also like. for my Own indulgence. Considered a sexy Guide Book for my story universe. which is where yeah ALL my #goddamn character design sketches and map art and faerie illustrations and landscape art could go #since. i drew thousands of pictures when making lore lmao #but like. all that art is on paper. and i know itll take like 30 hours to 100 hours JUST SCANNING #pages individually one at a fucking time and saving tjem and. dear god the picture editing on them all #even withiut additional digital coloring is at least 5 minutes per picture. then who knows how many hours formatting a combined book with #all art. and thats before ANY text written. which is why i havent even made an art book. like of just art #hell its why i havent even backed up my 9 sketchbooks of traditional art from the past decade #its so much work its like 2000 pages of art. im just gonna let my family ancestors find iy if i get luxky #and its not desyroyed by the elements (like all my older art was ToT)#tldr my point is: i love love love art and i love the momentary joy it brings ppl i share it with #but as far as like Big output i prefer writing. its easier #art is fine wjen its like im paid to make 1 poster 1 flier 1 card one book cover etc #but ive never been commissioned to do like 20 illustrations ( i would tho! sounds like more money)#so like. on my own time for free as far as high scale takes days of work? id prefer to not do more art

How do you afford living in Manhattan?

I don’t.

#old ass ask #but I finally wanted to answer it #asks #anon #serious answer in tags #nyc is just everyone working themself to death #it pays higher amounts but $20 in nyc is worth a lot less than $20 in say connecticut #i wake up 7-8 get home 23-00 and go to sleep at like 1-2 #my hours arent that crazy unless i have OT but im paid less than people who work in finance or tech #which is most of nyc #i have a friend in finance and she makes slightly more #she has to wake up 4-5 and often goes to bed 1-2 #but she’s projected to make a lot more than i am because she works for a major finance company #my [redacted] is in big tech so it pays very well and he’s fairly high up #but he stays at the office until midnight p frequently #and he has weeks where he’s on call almost the entire time #but he makes like 6x what im projected to make in a year from now #so it’s a very specific lifestyle is my point #live fast die young work hard play hard #also i dont live in manhattan #i cant justify manhattan rent currently #so i commute hence me doxxing myself and asking someone to come home with me from GC #i got harassed on the train that night lmfao #but the friend and [redacted] live in manhattan #so yes that’s the actual answer #as my parents say: your 20s are for slaving away at work #rough translation *

i got a bonus + raise and ive only been working like 3 months im soso excited sorry i just wanted to tell someone

AH THAT'S SO EXCITING! im so happy for you bestie <3

#WHEN IS IT MY TURN!#did i tell you guys that there's a waitress at work who not only is younger than me BUT has only been there like 2 months #and me and one of the OG waitresses (she's been there even longer than i have and there's a real solidarity amongst the OG crowd now)#were talking to this waitress and she goes 'oh yeah i get paid £10.18 an hour lol. DONT tell anyone'#and to contextualise this england has minimum wages that differ based on age brackets #where it's like £5 for under 18s. £7.49 for 18-20 (my bracket) and then it jumps to £10.18 when you turn 21 #so this 19 YEAR OLD NEW WAITRESS was getting paid the wrong minimum wage bracket that baso saw her earning £3 extra an HOUR #than us. which is an insane amount to build up over a long time like ik it doesn't sound like much but TRUST ME it is #and i felt a bit bad for her bc she's new to waitressing and generally quite naive and it SHOWS #like if they put ME on the wrong pay bracket id take that shit to my grave i would NOT risk that being taken from me #but she was just joking with us clearly expecting a PLATONIC social interaction and not a WORKPLACE interaction #like at the end of the day im friends with the people i work with and i not only like this girl but hold nothing against her #BUT NOT ENOUGH FOR IT TO AFFECT MY LITERAL WAGES!!!! I NEED THAT MONEY!!!!!#so yeah me and the other waitress fully snitched and i kinda hoped management might give us some sort of hush bonus #but all they did was lower the girl to the appropriate wage which. fair and again i feel bad for her but WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT ABOUT #so yeah thats MY luck with wages anonstie lmao ur thriving in comparison <3 #ask

i absolutely do not get paid enough to "just get that figured out"

#cro zone #if you want me to build email campaigns from scratch in such a way where they dont get filtered into the 'social' tab of gmail #youre gonna have to pay me a lot more than 15 an hour #its crazy bc i basically do a smaller scale version of what my mom (45k a year) does but i get about 20k a year #bc my org literally doesnt make enough money for me to get paid any more #my supervisor has been pretty 'yeah youre part time dont make this job your life'#but everyone else treats my like their personal secretary/publicist/tech support/fairy godmother/oracle #idk how to change that bc im literally the only employee so theres no one else i can delegate work to #almost any time ive asked someone to do something they literally just dont bc theyre volunteer so they dont have to #but if i miss something ohhh lets all kill the freak with memory loss who cant remember one of 20 events happening this month #i fell in the shower yesterday and hit my head but it doesnt matter bc i have a deadline tomorrow #and this org is supposed to be very labor-forward too

NO! REASON #AND. ZERO? FUCKIGN ZERO #i already asked abt it and they cant change it back and i want to cry #i was not paid the last 2 weeks i cant go 3 weeks without any pay whatsoever #i need to pay for food! i need to live!!!! im not even surviving at this point #i am struggling with money like i never have before and they do This to me #this is the worst news i could learn at 4am when my anxiety was already thru the roof #i only work 2 days this week which is already too little. and then 0 next week??#im not even going to get paid enough for a full tank of gas. what is this

it is me, the fool, trying to figure out if i should call my boss tomorrow, on my day off no less, and officially tell him to remove me from promotion consideration ... or will i finally have the nerve to do it on wednesday and in person

#[static]#i was in line for promotion last spring but i got really burnt out and started looking for a new job #told him i needed a break after training for months doing manager things and not getting manager pay #put off looking for work to focus on the handfasting and since then the company has a new manager position that was kind of what i wanted -#-in the first place and it seems too good to be true lmao everyone says i should do it and all the managers tell me i already do the job #but i have come to the realization in my late 20s ... that you dont have to do everything that you are good at if you are not passionate -#-about it ...... like you dont need to go for every promotion handed to you if you dont like the work #this position is higher pay but less hours so i'll be getting paid the same ( if not a little less ) for an extra day off #it's not worth it and im finally realizing that! i just need to leave and start over somewhere else #something that doesnt destroy my health every day and doesnt aggravate my chronic pain disorder #something that lets me have a life outside of work!! anyways .... he told me hed really like me to do the position #and i told him to talk to me after the holidays since i thought i'd be gone by then. and im still here and its 2 weeks until the end LMAO #i think im just gonna call him i could get the nerve to finally tell him no all week. i just hate letting people down lmao #and also i kept humming and hawing about the position even though i knew it wasnt a good idea #alas ... it is ok to start over even if it feels like youve put a lot of effort and time into something

i love when i come into work expecting to have a coworker to spend wiling away our semi-busy friday night shift with but instead find out i am working alone (not a lie i actually don't mind working alone). i love when i bust my ass working concessions and ushing all theaters alone and BREAK MY BACK to engage with people and make them happy and like me so that they'll tip me and keep a casual estimate of my tips all night only, come closing at past 11 pm, to find that my manager, a very nice, a TOO nice guy has given me $21 instead of the $41 i made in tips tonight bc the guys this morning who worked the slow shift together made a total of $4 and he felt bad giving them each $2 so he just never closed their shift and gave them a cut of mine so that i went home with the amount of tips i expect to make on a good slow wednesday closing shift and not the tips i expect to make working an extremely long and tiring shift where i actively work at getting tips instead of just telling customers to skip the tip screen like i know the morning shift guys do (take a fucking guess as to whether i'm lying here).

#i know it's petty to be this upset over $20 and i do genuinely like my manager but i did go home and burst into tears #i like. actively try so hard to make tips and i know for a fact that nobody else does #different manager told me they brought up in a meeting once whether or not it was fair that i made significantly more tips than anybody #and it's!!#partly bc i work friday/saturday but also because im just!!! nice!!! i have conversations!!! i bend rules for people!!!#i get paid $10.15 an hour the only reason i stay here is because of the tips!!!#this guy asked me tonight 'does this go directly to you?' and i got to be like yes :) but instead it went to fucking truman or whatever!!!!#i only have one more shift before i go back to school but this is getting to me and i dont even know why #i think it's bc he doesn't really help back at concessions unless asked and i never ask so he doesn't get how much effort i put in #the tips are the part i take pride in!!!! i've made about as much in tips this summer as i have in my salary!!!!!!#they didn't earn it!!!! i fucking earned it!!!!!!

just found out my dad used to not feed us as toddlers because "we didnt sound hungry" and my mom had to quit her job to stay home with us midday because she called my dad to check on us and he hadnt fed us babies and we were sitting on the driveway while he worked on his car and drove fast up and down the street testing it..

#life is when your mom tells you a story about your childhood and. the horrors #this came up bc i was talking about when i went to salt lake last year with just my dad for a day and a half and we never got food #he just forgot to feed me. and i said id pay for the hotel but he offered to pay and i said ok get one in *slc area*#of course he got a really dirty gross one 2 hours away and i never got to visit the city or check off my visiting list #i literally would've paid.#i think im most hung up on him not getting me food tho like. i asked for dinner and he was like maybe the motel has a banana. sir.#we all know this motel 6 doesn't have food at midnight can we please stop by a gas station or something ill take cheeto dust at this point #then he proceeded to not get gas 30 miles from the nearest gas station when we had 20 gallons left because he wanted to see how far #his hybrid car could go without gas. in the middle of nowhere. on a time crunch.#spoiler alert we made it to the gas station because it was luckily down hill and the light was green before the car stopped #thats dads am i right? *funky music*

i kind of hate that nap is so long bc it feels wrong to just sit on my phone for 2 hours and be getting paid for it

#technically i sit on my phone for 3 hours but i clock out for break during one #so im only getting paid two hrs u know #it takes me like 20 mins max to clean the entire room so. wtf else am i supposed to do #sometimes autumn has me cut out stuff or prepare the activity but usually ee do that during lunch or snack
