#we have no dress code at work
Text
I saw the Barbie movie and never longed for the instructions on how to make something more. Not that color, not that lining, but that mood.
And someone saw the same movie and just went "Yeah, I can make that happen".
They don't know I exist, they just knew people like me exist. And then put my dreams on sale for £7.20 while offer lasts, plus the willingness to transcribe YT instructions.

Hmm, maybe get a shirt too that says "Not Megalodontia" on it, then it'll be foolproof

question: when you're starting a new job, what do you most want out of your first week of onboarding? what's most helpful for you to know/understand upfront? also... what's not helpful? tell me your onboarding nightmare stories too lol
#i honestly do not ever think i've had a positive onboarding experience#in my entire professional life#i guess for me a lot of my early-job anxieties are around expectations and 'rules'#like i want to know what time i'm supposed to be there and what time i'm allowed to leave and what the dress code is#and how the hybrid schedule works#so i don't make dumb mistakes right away#i also think i want to be involved in the real work as early as possible#like i don't have to be DOING anything yet but i want to be watching people do things and shadowing in meetings#so i can start to develop a sense of who's who and what the actual work of the office/workplace looks like#and also because i really value getting a feel for personalities as early as possible lol i want to know what the vibes are#hmm and also maybe most importantly#i feel like in any new situation i need a very loose conceptual framework to hold the new information being given to me#otherwise it's just random pieces of info you know? like it's helpful when someone is actively helping me fit information into a frame#like they're saying 'here's the HUGE picture - now let's zoom in and start looking at this one corner of it - and as we add new corners#i'll actively help you fill in the connective tissue that holds these different parts of the big picture together'#hmmm#my worst onboarding experiences have been when the person training me comes in and throws lots of#long complex extremely context-dependent documents or readings at me#and is like ok spend the week reading those and get back to me#and i'm like ??????????#i have NO understanding of what my role is or how this organization functions#at this point it is not helpful for me to pass my eyes over tons of dense info without a guide to tell me what's important#i have no way of gauging of something is important or trivial and then i feel stressed like i have to learn ALL of it#even though i know that a huge portion of it will end up being not that relevant to my day-to-day job

i feel like the makeup standards are not necessarily going to get Worse, just. stay the Same. "raised by sephora and ulta" christ alive yall act like this shit is new. as if this hasnt been the standard to blast young girls with makeup ads and shit via magazine and tv and imposed beauty standards anyway. the only real difference is like, idk, accessibility of tutorials for how to apply it well
#toy txt post#spoken as. a no makeup bitch#altho i have also been accused by a terf of wearing a pound if makeup for wearing. visible lipstick in a selfie. and that was It#the actual Beauty Standard has largely stayed the exact fucking same of like making your skin texture as fake as possible#that was the standard back then too but it was harder to achieve /know how to do it cos there werent tutorials the same way now#also yes sephora and ulta are evil and all that but like the same amount theyve always been.#yall really acting like these imposed beauty standards being exposed to children is like a new unique tiktom thing thats never happened#before. and yall blaming instagram are no fuckin better. this has been happening The Entire God Damn Time#also theres something rubbing me about the way this is getting talked about. 'she did all thos other arbitrary bullshit except this#One Thing! the discrimination against this one thing is awful!#and like. it is. but i feel like we could address that while also maybe stepping back a tiny bit further and questioning these arbitrary#standards of professionalism too while we're at it#why does she have to have a blazer either? why do the earrings have to be understated#why do the colors have ti be bland and boring? why does he hair have to be a natural color and gender conforming ?#etc etc etc#like if we're accepting all that other shit the ppl upset about this could acknowledge she might experience similar discrimination for say#very obvious goth or punk-y makeup or anything a little too far outside the bounds of the acceptable beauty standard#everyone is pissed about 'eyeliner sharp enough to kill a man' but theyd be saying nothing if she was discriminated for fuckin#big wings and black lipstick bc well thats Obviously not professional standard makeup. okay?#if we change how we look at professional standards of dress and makeup as a whole to include Fucking Freak Bitches#then it would be a lot easier to include No Makeup in there as welllllll#idk#im a no makeup bitch with blue hair whos only ever worked in warehouses so they didnt give too much of a shit about my lack of makeup#or blue hair as long as i didnt show up in like flip flops which is a Reasonable dress code bc its got an actual fucking reason#(safety so you dont lose your goddamn toes to a box or a grate or some shit) vs it makes the office corpo bros sad#anyway idk if you have the privilege to get away with it i think you should dress weirder in the office to get them used to weirder dress#maybe instead of Suddenly going No Makeup sort of slowly lessen the amount so its not a Sudden change or smth#again: if you have the privilege and job security to get away with it#also also also: easier to get away with if you were to say. mask. js. they cant get mad at schrodingers lack of lipstick

Should I commit to my patched stubble and let it grow more, which also helps with passing, or should I shave it off until it starts to grow better?...

I work at a fashion retailer. The company was recently passed on to a new CEO who is making a lot of changes. This includes the dress code. Among other things, shorts and skirts MUST reach knee length. Who is going to tell then that 1) that no longer classifies as shorts and 2) that sounds like the most unfashionable thing possible to wear. If I walk into a fashion retailer and see someone wearing knee length Jean shorts I am not going to trust them to help me put together a fashionable outfit. They claim these changes are based on customer feedback. Who the fuck are we catering to here, middle aged conservative white women? The most unfashionable demographic in the god damn country?????? Fucking hello?????

My superior commented on my outfit today - shirt with a skelly on it + black blouse with red dots - that it "brings a certain horror vibe, fits well with the crime corner".
Now I don't know if she meant it as compliment or criticism. I could see both. Why can't neurotypicals ever just say what they mean, ugh.

Fascinated by the throughline ive seen in like 20 million posts abt ren faires lately that pirates r one of the main things that makes them inaccurate when uh.
Guys there were. There were pirates in the 1570s? (I mean, privateers, but one queen's privateer is another king's pirate)
They were...kind of a decent part of England's strategy vis a vis the Spanish, actually
If you say it with love then youre fine and if thats the case good news pirates have existed and been subtextually gay since the bces, but like.
Some of the posts have this aura of derision like "how dare they say their faire is historical when theres PIRATES" and like. Of all the things to diss track, us taking artistic liberties to let one of our guys wear a tricorn (which existed but wasnt fashionable) bc its What The People Want in an otherwise historically dress coded group representing a population that did in fact exist is. Weird flex.

Sometimes I'll say that the best part about being an adult is that you can have icecream for breakfast if you want to and there's always these idiots going "oh but I'm lactose intolerant" (there's icecream without lactose) or "Icecream is unhealthy" (please go outside and touch grass instead of reading bad diet-posts)
And like... it's not actually about the icecream. It's about the want to. Because as kids we dream of becoming adults. Adults make the rules. They get to decide what you do. And they tell us "When you're an adult you can *insert x*"
And then we become adults
but somewhere along the way we forgot why we wanted to get there. We only see the taxes we need to pay, the bills we need to pay, the floors we need to clean.
Instead of making the rules like we dreamed of, we just uphold the rules our caretakers gave to us when we were kids.
And that's why the best part about being an adult is that if I want to have icecream for breakfast
I can
And kid me? They're fucking ecstatic about it
