My stress level is such that after finally remembering a few minutes ago that oh shit I guess we better hang up the graduation gowns so they can get the creases out without me having to iron them, they're both apparently 2 inches off (too short) from the suggested height. Cue crying after midnight (me, not my boys).
I really can't wait until this hellhole school year is just finally over.

Toxic fan-dom hurts, man.

YES. She-Ra is the only fandom I've ever been part of that isn't dominated by people who seem to think the only way to enjoy a thing is to bitterly hate it and tear it down at every opportunity to prove you're smarter than it is. Hell, not only is it not dominated by those people, I've never come across one. It's some kind of magic.

It does. I would link this in spite all over toxic fandom.

Honest, while I didn’t see the relationship coming, it makes a whole lot of sense going through the last season, and I appreciate the leap that the writing crew made to do it.

@ganymede I didn't see it coming in canon but only because I didn't ever think they'd go there. I'd totally seen the vibes in the show for at least two seasons, though.

YouTube wants me to watch video dissections of Street Fighter super moves. That's fine, it's my fault for falling down a Capcom rabbit hole. What's less fine is that sometimes, the video recommended will be of a forty-year-old walking pectoral muscle beating the shit out of a teenage schoolgirl, uppercutting her so hard she flies into the air with her skirt flaring away so the players can see her panties, which image is of course the thumbnail for the video.
Some days I feel very tired, is all.

I hope, I pray, I wish some day people would learn to shut the fuck up about what their college roommate whom I never met's cousin's child is doing and speak the fuck up about information I need, like how I need to order thing X 'cause we're nearly out, and also they decided to rearrange the storage for thing Y and the reason I can't find it is not that we're out but that it's in some other cupboard where it's never been before.
I swear some people refuse to use language for anything but the entertainment of hearing themselves speak and the satisfaction of having my attention. Get a fucking dog, I'm trying to work.
Also, quit looking at me like I'm stupid when I can't find things that you moved without telling anybody.

Job hunting when you thought you had finally found a job to belong in.

Had a contract position last three and a half weeks. They laid me off because they were "going in a different direction." Laid on the floor and cried while the dog licked me in the face trying to figure out what was wrong.
-
@tributary I haven't been fired or laid off. I just got screwed over, and there was an email that showed me how badly I got screwed over.
And I'm hoping to find a fully remote position, because fuck the office.
-
@macha I'm not sure if that's worse. It might be. Because even though you're getting paid, you know you mean nothing to them. And it's so much work trying to find work.

I am sorry that this happened to you.
No matter how hard I try to be a good member of our management team, whatever credibility we have it seems gets undercut by other members who seem destined to act like the worst sort of boss you could imagine.

It's kind of like school principals.
