[aomitois]

my new job is right next to my elementary school. it's fucking me up. my memories overlap with the present. over decades, this school showed up in my dreams more than any other location. often i have classes as an adult in those tiny chairs in the dreams. who knew it would be kinda prophetic

[evilrry]

finally getting around to cataloguing my physical media collection this app makes it so easy you just have to scan the barcode and it adds it 😭

[theguest2]

again my coworkers are all working on a project together and chatting jovially while im in my corner making my eyes bleed doing inventory by myself depressed af. i had to go just go sit and listen with them for a minute to feel included before i completely spiraled into despair. anyways, back to work.....

bookworm II

-> blurbs pt. I

-> rafe x bookworm!reader

At first, you thought it was a coincidence. A fluke. A strange alignment of the universe that had Rafe Cameron showing up at your bookstore every single day.

Then, the excuses started.

“Yeah, uh—I lost my bookmark. Need a new one.”

You arched a brow. “You bought one yesterday.”

“Yeah, well. Lost that one too.”

The next day, it was:

“Do you guys sell… maps?”

“…Maps?”

“Yeah. Like, of the world. Or South Carolina. Or, actually, just this bookstore. So I don’t get lost in here. Y’know. Again.”

You smirked. “You’ve been in here at least a dozen times, Rafe.”

“Yeah, but, like. What if I forget where the classics section is?”

You tilted your head toward the large sign hanging from the ceiling labeled Classics.

Rafe nodded like that was irrelevant.

And then there was your favorite excuse:

“Yeah, so, uh—my dad told me I need to um…read more.”

Your lips twitched. “Your dad, huh?”

“Yeah. Real big on literacy.”

“…Ward Cameron?”

“Yep.”

“The same Ward Cameron who tried to build a golf course over the town library?”

Rafe coughed. “Uh. Yeah. He’s changed.”

It was obvious. He wasn’t here for the books.

He was here for you.

You never called him out on it, though. Not when he’d come in pretending to browse, only to spend an hour leaning against the counter, talking to you about anything, or, sometimes, nothing.

Not when he bought The Odyssey and then asked you, dead serious, “Is this, like… a pirate book?”

Not when he sat on the floor of the poetry aisle, flipping through a book like he actually understood it, just because it was your favorite section.

And definitely not when he smiled at you—soft, lopsided, like he had nowhere else in the world he’d rather be, and asked, “What should I read next?”

Because, at the end of the day?

You kinda liked that he kept coming back.

...

“You don’t have to help, you know.”

“I want to help,” Rafe said, rolling up the sleeves of his absurdly expensive button-down, like he was about to perform some impossible manual labor.

You squinted at him. “Do you… even have a job?”

He waved a dismissive hand. “Not important.”

You had your doubts, but you handed him a stack of books to shelve anyway. Simple task. Foolproof.

Five minutes later, you turned around to see him absolutely butchering the organization system.

“Rafe.”

“Yeah?”

“Why is Pride and Prejudice in the True Crime section?”

He turned back to the shelf, frowning. “Oh. That’s my bad. I just, y’know, Mr. Darcy? He’s kinda criminal. The way he was actin’.”

You sighed. “And Where the Crawdads Sing?”

“…Nature documentary?”

You pinched the bridge of your nose. “That’s fiction, Rafe.”

“Okay, well who decided that?”

The next disaster struck when he insisted on manning the register.

A sweet old lady handed him a book, and you watched as he flipped it over, looked at the price tag, and said, “Yeah, uh… how’s twenty bucks sound?”

You smacked his arm. “Rafe. The register does that for you.”

“Oh. Yeah. Right.” He punched in the numbers dramatically, furrowing his brow. “Beep. Boop. Okay, that’ll be… twelve dollars and ninety-nine cents.”

The woman blinked. “That’s the full price, dear. Don’t I get the senior discount?”

Rafe’s face scrunched. He turned to you, looking genuinely distraught. “Babe, we can’t just rob old ladies. That’s messed up.”

You groaned. “It’s built into the system, Rafe.”

He looked at the register, squinting at the screen like it had personally betrayed him. Then, sighing dramatically, he pressed some buttons.

“Okay, ma’am, with the discount, that’ll be… uh…” He turned to you and whispered, “How much is twelve minus ten percent?”

You just laughed, shaking your head.

And the worst part? You still didn’t kick him out. You let him stay.

Because even when he was the most useless bookstore assistant to ever exist, he looked so damn proud every time he got something right, like when he stacked books into a perfectly symmetrical pile, or when he finally figured out how to use the barcode scanner.

And, okay. Maybe you liked seeing him here. Maybe you liked the way he leaned against the counter, twirling a pen between his fingers, looking at you like you were the best thing he’d ever found in a bookstore.

Maybe you liked him.

Just a little.

...

The second you heard loud, obnoxious laughter from the back corner of the shop, you knew it was trouble.

You peeked around a bookshelf, your stomach sinking. A group of guys were shoving books back onto shelves backwards, tossing paperbacks to each other like footballs. One of them had the audacity to rest his drink on top of your classics display.

You took a deep breath, smoothing your hands over your pants. “Hey, guys,” you called, forcing a polite smile. “Could you please be a little more careful with the books?”

One of them barely glanced at you, smirking. “Relax, sweetheart. We're real careful.”

You hated when men called you that.

Well, most men.

Another guy laughed, nudging his friend. “We’re just here for Rafe Cameron. Heard he hangs out here now. Figured we’d see what the big deal is.”

Your jaw clenched. Of course.

Then, like divine intervention, the bell above the door jingled.

And there he was.

Rafe Cameron, walking in with that lazy, effortless confidence, except the second he spotted them, his whole demeanor shifted. His jaw ticked. His shoulders squared.

“Yo,” one of the guys called. “There he is! Dude, what are you even doin’ in a bookstore, man? Thought you were out crashin' boats or whatever.”

Rafe didn’t laugh. Didn’t even acknowledge them.

Instead, his gaze landed right on you.

“You okay?” His voice was low, rough. Protective.

Your stomach flipped, but you nodded. “They’re just messing up the shelves.”

That was all Rafe needed to hear.

He turned, stepping up to the group with a slow, deliberate swagger. “You break somethin’ in here?” His voice was calm, but there was a dangerous edge to it.

The guy with the drink shrugged. “Relax, man, it’s just books.”

Rafe’s expression darkened. “Put the drink down.”

The guy blinked. “What?”

“Put. It. Down.”

Slowly, the guy obeyed, setting the cup on a table. Rafe stepped in even closer, his voice dropping lower. “Now pick up every single book you messed up.”

One of the guys scoffed. “Bro, what’s the big deal? Since when do you give a shit about—”

“I give a shit,” Rafe snapped. “And if you don’t, then you can get the hell out.”

Silence.

The guys glanced at each other, clearly not expecting this Rafe Cameron. They expected the reckless party boy, the guy who didn’t care about anything.

Not the guy who was standing in the middle of a tiny bookstore, ready to start a fight over misplaced books.

One of them grumbled something under his breath, but they started fixing the shelves. Sloppy, but you’d take it.

When they left, shoulders hunched, trying to laugh it off, Rafe turned back to you. “You sure you’re okay?”

You just stared at him for a second, crossing your arms. “I didn’t know you were my personal security now.”

Rafe smirked. “What, you think I’m gonna let some jackasses ruin our bookstore?”

You blinked. Our bookstore.

Your face felt warm.

“…You put Pride and Prejudice in True Crime last week.”

“I stand by that.”

...

At first, you didn’t notice.

Rafe would sit at the counter, flipping through books as you worked, occasionally grumbling when he came across a word that was too long for his liking.

But then you started finding them.

Books left open on the counter, always on a page with some long, complicated passage, marked up in that messy, boyish scrawl of his.

You found the first one in a well-worn copy of Wuthering Heights.

“This dude is insane. No way she actually likes him. (Not that I relate)”

Then, in Pride and Prejudice, right under one of Mr. Darcy’s confessions:

“This is the most dramatic way to say ‘I like you’ I’ve ever seen. Might use it tho.”

And your favorite, scribbled in the margins of The Picture of Dorian Gray:

“Would I sell my soul for eternal youth? Idk, would you still like me if I had gray hair?”

You had to bite your lip to keep from laughing every time.

Finally, one evening, as you locked up, you found a copy of Jane Eyre left open right on the counter. A single sentence underlined.

“I have for the first time found what I can truly love—I have found you.”

And right next to it, in his handwriting:

“Yeah. What he said.”

I really hate how un-user friendly most tech is these days, like, I was tryna scan a barcode earlier, and nothing would detect it as a barcode, so I was like, "oh, ok, lemme just read the barcode and enter the binary data manually then", and there was just no way to do this? like, developers, wtaf are you doing?

[simplydnp]

WAD: Cover Art

dan is still working on selling the distribution rights for We're All Doomed! so i decided to make some DVD/Blu-ray disc jacket art!

this is my attempt at a traditional jacket design! none of the images used are mine, but i did create the concept and design:

as i was making the first one for myself, i was struck by the fact that 'well, it's for me, so it doesn't have to look like a stereotypical jacket cover' which led me to be more artsy in my approach for the next one:

i was really enjoying the creativity and space to explore, so i went looking for more inspiration for a third design. this led me to dan's favourite Muse album: Origin of Symmetry, which i paid homage to:

after the first Muse album, i looked at their catalogue to see if there was more inspiration there. i was just thankful dan's favourite was easy stylistically to mimic, unlike say, 2009's The Resistance...

thank you @danielhowell for the inspiration!

nerdy stuff & reference pics below the cut!

General notes

i don't know how to use photoshop! i entirely brute-forced my way through the whole project, and the only tutorial i looked up was for the gradient text in the 4th cover

this wasn't even the original project i was working on! you'll eventually get to see that though

and this one also inspired art for the disc itself so stay tuned 👀

i will do anything for authenticity so these are Full of intentional details

matching fonts is a nightmare

the traditional cover

took the longest, as it was the first.

the barcode numbers are the date of the first video he uploaded on dinof, and the last tour show date (in m/d/y)

i changed 'iceland' to 'poland' on the front cover, as he never actually went to iceland, and poland wasn't ever on the list even though he did go there

the orange may look a little off-center in the front, but these designs need to include space for a spine between the front and back cover, i promise it's right 😂

the black and white cover

inspired by the 'i want to believe' aliens poster

the cover art comes from his metal band merch shirt design

i had to manually shrink the text, line by line, and ensure it all lined up on the back!

i even made the logos on the back greyscale

the Muse: Origin of Symmetry cover

a shockingly perfect style for a WAD cover. i'm so glad i used the cubes, even if they couldn't be orange.

there's some versions of the art online where the sky is even more orange and it baffles me how i haven't seen any parallels like this before

the Muse: The Resistance cover

this cover was never supposed to see the light of day! i meant it when i said i was grateful i didn't have to try to adapt this complex design... and yet, i tried anyway.

i did all the grid lines by hand, including the jagged/broken edge parts, shading each section, and then drawing every star.

the hardest part was getting the gradient on the back text to cooperate. photoshop's gradient settings are surprisingly limited

gotta shout out @amazingphil for being the reason i knew what this cover looked like--it's the only muse album i knew the art of before embarking on this quest!

obligatory sob story:

i've been extremely and suddenly ill for 6 months. it is difficult to function moment to moment, but especially in doing little things just for me. this is the first and only art project i've been able to feel inspired to not only work on, but to finish, and despite the pain and long hours, i enjoyed every minute of it. thank you, dan, for creating this space for me to explore, and thank you, everyone here, for being wonderful support during this time 💞

[artsy-hobbitses]

Do you perhaps have any headcanons on the miscreant Starscream??

DO I EVER.

I'm gonna assume you're new here or at least have not seen all headcanons, so I'll collated into one document. RIP you're getting sandblasted with a horrible sky gremlin who has hidden heart of a hero (DON'T LET THEM HEAR YOU SAY THAT, HE HAS STREET CRED TO MAINTAIN).

Starscream/Stefan Scavarro got his codename from the shriek that his suit's engines made when he would divebomb opponents from the heavens. Combined with them seeing literal stars when he blindsided them and how much of a 'sky devil' he was with his red armor, a terrified senate guard described him as the rebellion's "(Azrael) Morningstar, screaming bloody vengeance as he swoops down from the heavens to hunt the wicked". Hence, 'Starscream' was born.

He wears his hair long to cover the Cold Construct barcode on the nape of his neck. Touch him there without his permission, and he will break your fingers.

He's the best cook on the team, and he'll say it's because he's rather eat barb wire (the taste of his blood would at least add some flavour) than be subjected to the military slop he lived with for twenty years. It's never too late to learn how to how to cook and eat well, though if you substitute fresh garlic for powdered garlic in something you're serving him, he's going to fight you across the dining room table after he's done eating it. Food should be respected, even if they were the product of a culinary crime.

He learned to tailor his own clothes during his college days, and has since become very proficient at it. He make most of his formal garments, and is considered the most fashion-centric member of the team.

He was very close to Senator Shockwave/Sharifuddin Waseem as a young politician, to the point of having an unrequited crush. Sharif accepted him as a part of the senate despite his status as a (freed) Cold Construct driving others away from him, and both spent most of their time together in the senate researching and drafting bills pushing for more rights and protections for the Manual Class and Cold Constructs

He has a personal dislike of Optimus Prime/Omar Parvez, and blames Omar for what happened to Sharif, as Sharif surrendered to Proteus on Omar's watch. He had earlier requested that Omar not leave Sharif's side before their mission began and he was assigned to another post, because he had a bad feeling about Proteus' plans for Sharif, and accused Omar of being too spineless to stop it. That Omar had to choose between saving Sharif or the men Sharif told him to keep safe was something he refused to consider. However, in time they do come to an understanding when he accepts that Omar was given a impossible choice and made the one that respected Sharif's last request and sacrifice.

While he can't bring himself to keep pets (he doesn't want to get attached amid a war), he does have a fondness for cats! He admires their beauty, grace, independence and low tolerance for bullshit. He eventually adopts an old and ornery female cat named Graymalkin post-war to keep him company while Windblade/Wariko Baisho is out at work

Stefan has a ridiculously high pain tolerance due to the abuse he was put through from childhood at the air base he grew up in. His eardrums have ruptured more times than he can recall from flight test chambers and high altitude barotrauma, and if he didn't stop crying, his handlers would give him something to really cry about before they dragged him off to the medics. He has an accelerated healing factor, they saw no issue with letting out their frustrations on him, as he was simply an asset in their eyes, even as a seven-year-old.

As such, he has very warped idea of what constitutes a 'major' injury on him---he can be running around cradling his disemboweled intestines in one arm without breaking a sweat. He offhandedly tells people that an injury doesn't register as 'major' to him unless it's a skull fracture where he can feel a section of his head caved in, or a direct shot to the heart.

Because of this, he also has a very skewed idea of what 'hurt' means to him personally and how he's meant to react to it. He's internalised his handlers' assertion that because he can heal, his pain does not matter. So what if people hurt him? It's what he was built to withstand. There is a weird sense of pride he has about this, he sees it as a mark of strength, and it's partly why he's as defiantly blasé as he is about Megatron's abuse when they get in each other's faces. At the same time, it's also deeply lonely for him and he oscillates wildly between shying away from physical contact and being starved for 'good' touch at the same time.

To add to this, while he grows to harbour unspoken attraction towards Wariko which he attempted to throttle multiple times in their early says interacting with each other, he stops icing her out when she becomes the first person to acknowledge his pain, and that him being able to heal and bearing no scars from his abuse doesn't make that pain any less real. She's also his first experience with 'good' touch, which he quickly finds he cannot get enough of.

He adores musicals. In particular are The Greatest Showman, Moulin Rouge and The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

When he and Morgan are in one of their more civil moods, they play chess together in a weirdly companionable silence, as despite their mutual disdain, they understand each other the most. They're equally matched, and it's the only time where Morgan will sincerely compliment him about something, and he'd accept it without sneering or boasting. (He used to play with Sharif, who doesn't do so now as Shockwave, while Morgan used to play with Omar, so it also feels like a moment of bonding over shared loss)

He's an excellent dancer! Mostly ballroom-based which he picked up during his days as a young politician for big senate events, but he enjoys mixing things up a bit with tango or freestyle.

Has mastered walking in high heels.

He alternates between having a soft spot for Thundercracker/Teo Cortez, who he sometimes sees as a younger brother, and calling Teo out as being the 'weak link' of the Trine. He can one day be planning a heartfelt birthday party and baking a cake for Teo since Teo can no longer celebrate it with family, and the next day be screaming at Teo for messing up at target practice. He justifies this hot and cold by saying that someone like Teo isn't made for war, but since Teo insists on being here, he would rather have Teo sad or angry at him for being harsh over the work they have to do, than to have Teo dead from softness and carelessness. He was genuinely relieved when Teo finally left the Decepticons, and they do reconcile post-war.

Openly calls Tarn out for being a fanboy simp in bad Decepticon cosplay.

He never really takes Bumblebee/Benjamin Bane seriously as a fellow combatant and is constantly breaking into Omar's comm signal on the field to yell at Omar to send "your son" back home, this is NO PLACE for a child playing DRESS-UP. (Ben's "I'M 18 YOU POMPOUS PRAT" is immediately met with Stefan's "DON'T YOU TALK TO ME LIKE THAT, STOP KICKING ME IS PRIME RAISING YOU IN A BARN")

That said, despite being on opposite sides of the fence, when Ben becomes a discorporated soul, he is drawn to Stefan, who can hear him because it is Stefan, rather than Omar or even Memo and Charlie, who unknowingly first truly heard him. This goes back to when Ben was nine, and had a chance to visit the Quintesson War Museum on his birthday; his father and mother however, had no interest in exploring the exhibits with him and left him to do so on alone. On a whim, he asked a passing man, a young politician Stefan who was visiting before a conference, to help him take a picture. Stefan wanted this to be a one and done, but after asking Ben about his parents and finding out they left him to celebrate his birthday alone, he decided to chaperone Ben through the entire time that Ben was there and listened to this boy talk about everything under the sun. He didn't put much thought into this after he left, it was just a few hours of making a child happy/feel less lonely on on their birthday (he's never celebrated one! what a novelty that is), he didn't even have the presence of mind to ask for the boy's name since he himself was not given one until he was 18, but Ben never forgot.

As vain as he is, Stefan hates seeing old pictures of himself, especially those taken of him during his old senate days. He hates the boyish way he used to smile, he hates the hopeful light in his eyes, he hates coming to terms with the part of himself he felt he had sacrificed to hate over humanity on the day they razed the Senate… and how he barely recognizes the man he used to be. Wariko eventually makes him see the truth; that the man he was is the man he still is deep down.

He loves collecting plane models. He does not love putting them together, however, and it's a task he often bribes Skywarp into with offerings of muttabaq fresh off the gridle.

Sharif's old nickname for him is "Pretty Bird", Wariko calls him "Uguisu" (Japanese Bush Warbler).

Extremely protective of his armored flight suit. It was a prototype made by Sharif years ago for him--it was his first taste of flying without a helmet or within a cockpit, and he's never been able to forget that feeling. He also sees it as the last gift Sharif ever gave him before becoming 'Shockwave'. He refuses to let Morgan touch it, and the one time he did approach Shockwave to make some amendments, Shockwave told him to rubbish it for a better upgrade. He declined, and has since learned how to fix and programme the suit on his own. He won't admit it, but it feels like keeping the last physical bit of Sharif's memory alive.

Deeply in love with sky and flying in general; he embraces it as the most free he ever feels. He's up early for morning flights to catch the sunrise, and when he feels like he needs to get away from it all, he flies up high enough that ice gnaws at his face and he can't breath before freefalling through the clouds. It helps him gain a sense of perspective.

Stefan and Wariko do eventually get married, and he settles into a Way Of The Househusband role to her Lady First Delegate. They end up adopting two Cold Construct kids, Suzume and Gabriele.

If you'd like more Winblade/Starscream headcanons (because they are my power couple!), you can find them here and here!

NO, I DON'T WANT A SPRINKLES'S POSTER!

-"Fool-proof voodoo." -In the safety of his room, Jason read the title of the manual. -"Carry out your revenge and do it well, without evidence that incriminates you." Is seriously? -But his curiosity was stronger, and when he received a call to meet in the Batcave, he thought it would be very foolish not to do a little "test."

And he had the perfect guinea pigs.

-So even demons can catch a cold.

When he arrived, because of the type of conversation that the "Batfamily" had, the youngest of the Robins was not present, and that subtracted one guinea pig. Fortunately, getting hair and saliva from the other two was going to be a piece of cake. He waited for them to drink the tea that Alfred had kindly prepared for them, and taking a piece of ice from his soda glass, he passed it right into the back valley of the eldest of Bruce Wayne's "sons."

-¥ ÷×¢#! -Was what Dick exclaimed, dropping the teacup on the floor, and at the same time, dropping Drake's. -Jay!

- Whoops! I'm sorry. He said with a mischievous smile.

The old butler was already about to clean up the mess caused by Todd, but he stopped him.

-I'll take care of it, Alfred, it was my joke, I'll clean it up.

Using two handkerchiefs to mop up the spilled tea, and refusing to hand it over to Alfred, Jason already had half the requirements.

.~o0o~.

-Step one, get the saliva and hair from the victim, done. Step two, get a little piece of cloth used by the victim. -Jason looked at the pieces of Robin's old uniforms. -They're not going to wear those panties anyway. Step three, create a doll with beeswax without impurities, the instructions in the manual "Fool-proof crafts" Do I have to buy it!? -He read the next page.- "If you were wondering if you should buy it, yes, you should buy it, the same way you got this manual..." -Jason searched for publisher, barcode or any other information, but continued reading. -"Save yourself the trouble of looking in the manual, we are professionals and we definitely don't want problems with the law."

After infiltrating the prison, interrogating the subject, participating in a cookie tournament, causing a riot to escape and getting the two thousand dollars, a new suit, a pipe and a doll to give to the daughter of his accomplice, who was turning years that week, Jason finally got a way to contact whoever wrote the manual.

-With Bread and Butter ... -Using a pay phone to avoid being tracked, Jason tried to keep an eye on his surroundings as he placed his order. -No, I'm not interested in the Woolly Bears ... I also don't want a subscription to the League of the World's Conquest with Smiles and Milk ... I NEED THE F*CKING MANUALS! YES, ALL OF THEM! NO, I DON'T WANT A SPRINKLES'S POSTER!

He had everything sent to Wayne Manor. Now it was just a matter of waiting.

[fuck-customers]

Genuine question, how do I care less about my job? Warning this is long but this doesn't even include all the details.

I'm so fed up with my coworkers doing the same shit that was brought up in multiple meetings to not do, yet they still do it, and they seem to do it worse. Don't take longer than your time allowed from breaks. Both of them will take longer than their 15min and lunch break. Don't dissappear without saying something. Both still do this so when I'm stuck at the register calling out for someone who's not there cause they disappeared, I look like a dumbass. Don't go shopping while on the clock, and during our 15s we're on the clock. It was only the one girl who would do this constantly, walking off, leaving me alone upfront, shopping. But my other coworker decided she's gonna go shopping for plants for her friend while she's on the clock, not on a break, on a Tuesday morning which Tuesdays the phone line always blows up. Thus leaving me alone to fend for myself. I've brought up these things in meetings multiple times, and they STILL do it.

Those meetings are arranged by my boss, who knows well of my complaints, but my coworkers clearly don't care. Even the one manager above my boss knows that they leave me upfront and has seen it twice on the *same Sunday, a busy day, and has even told them that they need to be more cognizant of the front end and help out cause I'm drowning in customers and the phone ringing.

I do 90% of the shit required for the giftshop at work. I do the morning and night counts for the register, I water the plants in the parking lot, I water the plants in the atrium, I run the register, do deliveries and rentals and installs, water the orchids and African violettes, mist the airplants, water the ladybugs, help out customers, clean up messes. YET. I leave alone one area, the 2" area to either one of my coworkers, and I am *CONSTANTLY finding dead plants, either by rot, dried out, or somethin else. Half of that section, which the entirety of the 2" is only a quarter size of the atrium, at most, is succulents, cacti and sansevierias! Stuff that doesn't need watering that much!! But still my one coworker manages to over water them despite me and the other coworker telling her to stop watering them so much. Yet when I tell her she needs to water the moss ferns and calatheas more, she doesn't do jack shit to them. It's come to the point that even thou my boss says to keep all 2" stuff in one area, I've taken it upon myself to ignore that and put any and all 2" ferns in the atrium fern shelf, including moss ferns, so they actually get watered. And they're waaaay better in there. I haven't had to throw a SINGLE 2" fern away yet due to it being dead somehow. Even my one coworker, the guy, agrees that even thou boss said to keep 2" in one area, that I should probably keep them in the atrium.

I have to leave tasks alone for my coworkers to do them but even then they still don't do them!

Also, anythin goes wrong, *I'm the one who gets asked about it, even if my name was nowhere near it, even if I wasn't there that day!! I got asked why the coworker guy put a delivery on a Tuesday. We don't do deliveries Tuesday. He knows that. He's been working there longer than I have. It's literally written on the calender. The kicker, I wasn't even there that day. That was a rare Sunday or Saturday that I took off, so I wasn't even there to tell coworker to not put it on a Tuesday.

Anythin else that goes wrong, I'm the one they ask 'what happened' or have to fix it. I get in trouble for my mistakes but it seems like they don't get in trouble for theirs.

I am a hard worker and I am good at my job and I'm not a slacking ass. When I say I'm being left alone, it's not cause I'm new. I've been there for a year now, I know how to do all the things. It's cause I'm expected to do all the things. I get lines of customers upfront and zero help. We don't have barcodes so I have to manually type quantity and price in thr computer, which often requires me to leave the register, go around, write down all that, then type it in thr computer. Which takes quite a bit of time if they cart is jackshit full. It would be way easier if my coworkers followed the damn rule of one behind the register one saying prices. But no, that's too hard for them.

Even when I ask for the help, I still don't get it. Or when I tell them what I need, they still don't do it. Yet it's somehow my fault for not getting the help.

So, if they don't have to follow the rules, why should I? If they can't do the tasks, why should I? Because I'm the one who gets in trouble if the tasks don't get done. I can't even 'slack' cause it's somehow my fault.

Since my coworkers want to take longer than their allowed break times, so am I. Since they can't give me the courtesy to tell me when they leave the giftshop, I won't either. Since they don't wanna help me on the register. Oh, a spontaneous rush? Suddenly I conveniently don't notice nor are they actually asking me for help. Throw me to the wolves don't be surprised when I give them a taste of their own medicane. My boss one time even made a joke about there being a rush. I was watering the atrium so this was still in the morning. I hadn't noticed so by the time I was done the rush was gone. She made a joke that that was the least stressful rush I've been a part of, which I said 'yeah cause for once I wasn't in it', saying how I'm always in the rushes, which she makes some joke and I give her an annoyed look cause she knows I'm always in rushes with no help, which she had. She says oh don't take it personal it's a joke. Jokes are supposed to be funny. Mocking me that I do most of the work around here no help isn't funny.

TL;DR: How do I care less about my job despite me gettin in trouble for things that go wrong? I've brought my slacking coworkers up to my boss multiple times, nothings changed in the end. I want to do a good job cause I'm the type of person who is hard worker but if I slack too much, plants die then *I get in trouble. I'm constantly stressed and mad at my coworkers and rude customers and I get snappy, which still gets me in trouble.

try not to get happy happiest stories you check out all 20 of your items from me at the cash register (including screws that have to be manually entered on account of being too small to have barcodes) then after the transaction goes through you check your receipt and ask if it processed under your phone number and i take the receipt and look at it and go "no i dont think it did sorry" and you go "okay well im going to return all the items and buy them under their phone number" and i look at the line behind you and say "but they dont give you any kind of discount you just get rewards points that eventually go towards future discounts" and you go "i dont care just return my items" and i take my phone out of my pocket and chuck it at your head full force and go "oh my goodness im so sorry 😱 my hand must have slipped!!!!!!" and everyone believes me due to my cheerful and put together demeanor and you dont get a concussion but the bruise is visible for like a month at least

This was one of my favorites from 2022 year (9/10). I’m not thrilled about this. It’s the same director as TMS2, and I didn’t like that one all that much either. Still, I’m always intersted in where Korea goes when it’s given enough rope to hang itself.

The drama stars Thai actors Jeff Satur and Barcode Tinnasit and Korean actors Dion and Jun In-Kyu (Q) About a spaceship that crash-lands into and destroys a bakery shop. Of course this means the alien and the baker end up living together. At the same time, other aliens-in-hiding all around the city start hunting for them. One of my most anticipated BLs.
