:t-puppyeyes: Today is mom's birthday. Hubby and I lit some incense and a candle in her memory. It's going to be two years in the last days of March. Still can't believe she's been gone this long already. Dad's memorial is in two more days, and it's going to be 5 years for him. Time passes so fast right now and it feels like not so long ago, time was slower than a snail and that I was so miserable and unhappy with my life.

I'm so grateful those days are over and that slowly but surely things just keep getting better for us.
:t-hugs:


I wish my internal clock would stop waking me up at 3-4am. It leaves me tired by mid morning, and I have to debate whether or not to take a nap and risk screwing my sleep schedule even more. Just let me wake up to my alarm at 7 please! :|

:t-hugs: back to Jessk, Merk, and SirChicken thank you

Today is dad's turn, going to light a candle and incense once hubby is home from work.

Tried getting the ps5 on best buy, and after an hour and 30mins of nonstop refreshing and trying, I'm giving up. It's clear that the website is either giving false cart info and that scalpers continue to use bots because it's just impossible to win against them.

Saw a guy on Youtube who went on a rant about those scalpers and he says they just are getting worse and even showed tweets promoting their illegal bots they use to buy the ps5. I understand that the tweets are providing this info, but you'd think he would censor the info for his audience...otherwise he's just helping (in an inadvert way but still it's the principle of the thing!) I'll still watch him though, cause he's a techy nerd.

My hubby has turned me into a Youtube monster. Yes I've known about Youtube since forever and I've used it to see videos shared by others etc since forever. But honestly I never really would visit it extensively except to watch My Little Pony Friendship is Magic seasons and follow the seasons of Pokemon's anime. Before that I visited Youtube only a certain number of times a year and I probably would count it on my one hand and that's it. I just didn't care for it honestly....lolololol

It seems those days are gone now because I've been watching Youtube like crazy since all of last year. And I started subscribing to Youtubers I like on my hubbys account (I use his, I don't care enough to make my own). And slowly but surely I've been taking over his account and I even watch stuff on my own or we watch stuff together and he's like....you hog the tv ALL the time...and I'm like...Go watch on your own tv and whatever else u watch on your extra two computer monitors....and he quickly shuts up lolol

He has three screens all to himself and complains about me using the one screen!!!! (although it is the biggest screen but dun care who says I have to play fair?)

I got my desk moved to its new spot today (still gotta move my keyboard, but I'm too tired right now to finish). I realized just how terribly. freaking. small. it is. Granted I've had this desk for as long as I can remember--it's honestly probably a kid's desk, but it's about half the size of my computer desk in terms of the surface area's depth. I don't know how well it will serve as a crafting desk... I've been browsing around the net to see if I can find anything and I'm having semi luck. IDK what it is about new desks being so sleek with barely any storage to offer. Like why is it so hard to find one with decent drawer space? My clunky ass desk from the 90s has excellent storage. I also need a desk that doesn't have any legs. God forbid my clumsy hands drop something, only for it to roll under the nether zone and never return lol. As I said earlier, I've had some luck finding all the things I'm looking for in a new desk, but only on Wayfair. Some of them are nice, but they tend to be a bit pricy. Something to save up for later in the year I guess... :sulk:

Well. That job didn't last long.

SPOILER :: TRIGGERWARNING
Spoiler
I had to leave because a trainer in Raven's class casually spit out the R slur (r*t*rd for those who don't realize it/know what I mean)... and nothing happened. Was like, well it might be a fluke. Got to my mentor...who spent our entire first day (8 hours) screaming at her children, them screaming they hate her, shopping for a bird for her son who doesn't hate her, her teaching me how to fudge numbers, being shown to use a tool that we are 100% NOT SUPPOSED TO USE, and then being told I can do whatever I want as long as my Team Lead doesn't lose his bonus check.

Day 2... mentor pulled another supervisor into our training call and they started gossiping about another team member, calling HER a "man" and nicknaming HER "boob job." (10 points if you guess why they were so cruel to HER and why I'm capitalizing HER.) The supervisor kept using racial slurs very casually... And then my Team Lead came in and casually dropped the R slur. We went on lunch and I sent in my resignation because I don't think so. I'm not dealing with that. Nope. No.

Left an honest review on them on Indeed, where I found them, and then contacted their Onboarding team (there is no HR???), BBB, and a few other people I know to let them know what's up.
That's two jobs I've left in less than 2 weeks... At least it wasn't COVID this time? Back to the hunt. :derp: D<

On a less stressful note... I finally organized my Keep a bit. I'm making a massive list of what I still need to collect and then I have a tab of nearly 500 creatures to sell. Some of which are parentless hybrids and donis. The fun part is gonna be pricing them out because I have 0 idea what anything is worth anymore.

Maybe you could file a police report or a newspaper report? Since they're fudging numbers and it sounded like they were verbally abusing some kids? Send out an email to parents or whatever, if the job is what I think it is? You could even just say, "There were reports" or something that leaves wiggle room that you're not directly accusing anyone and/or do it anonymously. Or Facebook or Twitter.

Sorry you had to go through that. Hopefully they'll be canned.

I was doing a Work At Home call center job based somewhere very far from me. I don't think I can file a police report for them using slurs? And they weren't verbally abusing any children. They were talking about a fellow employee who was a transwoman and calling her a man and giving her the nickname "boob job" because of how "fake" her breasts looked in our private video call while I was supposed to be being trained.

I also don't use Facebook or Twitter, other than my "Accountant" Twitter which won't get any attention.

I'm sure nothing is going to happen to them based on the fact that another person in the company used a slur and nothing happened to her. At all. Despite multiple people reporting it. She was "talked to." Never had to issue an apology, kept training the newbies, and not a word was breathed of it after the reports.

I see. "Trainer" and "class" and "her kids" made me think you were working with kids.I see what you mean now, though. No, probably nothing will come of it, not something like that.

Ah, yeah, no. Her own personal kids were in the background running around and screaming while she was "teaching" me to take phone calls for tech support for the company.
