I bought a hardcover Dorothy Parker collection off eBay many years ago and it came with this inscription from couple to a woman, dated 1970:

“May your labia never evidence signs of tribadistic inclinations”

sucks way worse for the applicant to be clear but also mannnnn this was a huge waste of my time today

it was also not. good. why is tech recruiting and interviewing so fucking cursed on every level and from every angle???

wild to go from a pretty fun little outing to a work day that feels like getting beaten by hammers

the weather has been fluctuating and today it's on the warm side, so i'm pretty sure he's just being theatrically sad about it being hot

HOWEVER

they're making me run applicant interviews........ i wish to be free.

(normally he uses his arm as a pillow or shrimps up into an orb; it's rare he's flat on his side all stretched out like that! it is not SOLELY because my cat's health is a load-bearing anxiety for me)

absolutely lunged across the room bc my cat was lying limply on his side on the floor and i was worried he was dying

no it was so that he could use a discarded shrinkwrapped mailer from a pharmacy as a pillow so it would crinkle when he moves his head

GOOD LUCK MORT

shaking myself like WE ARE LITERALLY TWO DAYS FROM GIVING NOTICE AT WHICH POINT WE ARE BASICALLY DONE BC LOL, LMAO, WHY ARE WE DOING THIS TO OURSELF

great news gamers after feeling pretty good about my life for a weekend + three work days i have IMMEDIATELY reverted to staying up for hours and hours and stress eating before bed bc i don't want to go to work so fucking badly

i process a lot of stuff by saying it out loud but i have to be reeeeally careful, bc there is processing and there is venting, and one makes me feel better and the other makes me feel self-righteous, put-upon, and smug, while also making me feel and act worse long term

ブラシテスト

i think part of it here specifically is bc of the quote dunk getting ported over in the way it did, but it's true elsewhere as well. idk. this is one of the things i find most repulsive to me about myself!

why is getting mad such an appealing hobby. this is @ me too to be clear. just across the board, across so many arenas, people just really love to not just get mad, but seek out things to get mad about. a constant and dismal lolcow-ification.

imagining heinrix looking at this bio and then looking directly into the camera like he's in the office

incredible way to describe phil

"i'll do something with my free afternoon" you did, you napped

just woke up from a 3 hour nap

what if i ran something. just something small, like 3 or mayyyybe 4 players.

my copy of blades in the dark is calling to me

WOW okay incredible

tbh i'm really glad i stuck it out for this work event bc i think i can leave my job feeling a lot more positive instead of like i wasted a bunch of time lol - a good attitude and sincere effort makes me feel better about myself and my work

also i took FULL ADVANTAGE of being on a work outing to have like four n/a cocktails, three of which were essentially Fancy Juice. i love Fancy Juice i just never can justify the price lol so imagine my delight at work-approved, work-funded juice :>

wild how much taking a nice little bike ride, just a little 15 minute jaunt home, fixes you :>

w-what

today i did tech work that was entirely outside my wheelhouse which reminded me that i actually do love messing around with technology and that isn't something my shitty job can suck away from me, and then i went to a magic show and then rode a bike home in the beautiful early night weather
