@Xanthan: Yeah, I've been working for over a week straight and slowly running out of groceries while having to watch them get cleared off the shelves ;v;
I know at my own store, we get trucks every morning but the employees don't know what will be on them. I thought of asking, but the store I was at doesn't even have the benefit of "everyone does everything" like my store, so they'd have been even less likely to have an answer. I figured I'd just come in tomorrow and check since I'm off tomorrow too, and if not, I'll make my own. Apparently it's a lot simpler than I thought. Just not as quick and easy as having it already there waiting for me >:^(

They gotta learn... if you mention wanting it, even as a joke, you will get it.

@kaichoukai: I can't stand almond milk either tbh. Though since that's what my grandma inexplicably always buys, I may be stuck with it until my store gets more oat milk... but I won't buy any myself.

I agree. I got one of my friends a pizza blanket a couple years ago. He got me

The only kind of milk I want is oat milk. Usually this is not an issue because the grocery store less than 5 minutes from my house carries it. Others in my area do not, though, so if they're out... I must suffer and be milkless. Sometimes that's the only thing I go to the store for. I hate going to 2 different stores, but groceries on whole are cheaper at the one I work at, so I went there today, and stopped by the other store on my way home. Ran in there with groceries warming in the trunk of my car, and what do you know? COMPLETELY OUT. And with all these grocery hoarders causing shortages, I have no way of knowing if there will be more tomorrow. I JUST WANT MY CEREAL

pls save me from oat milk shortages
i don't wanna have to resort to soy, it's disgusting

Can't stay home because I work at a grocery store, but can't go anywhere besides work, so my life is being put on hold YET AGAIN due to outside circumstances and I'm just really sick and tired of it. I've been trying to move out for years now, but one thing after another keeps holding me back, and it's not for lack of trying on my part. Now the house we wanted to inquire about has been sold, and I'm not holding out hope that the travel restrictions will prevent whoever's sale is pending from going through with it. So I'll have to keep looking, but there's little point in it because it could be months before we even get the chance to go to a viewing... and that was hassle enough as it is, due to how far away we're trying to move and how little our work schedules overlap.
Aside from that, I just have to keep dragging my ass to work, despite supposedly being at a somewhat higher risk due to my own health problems, and exposing myself to people's germs day in and day out. Customers come in, hand me their filthy cash, and then be like "stay safe". I know they mean well and just wanna get their groceries, but I can't stay safe doing what I do and it's very frustrating. All the hand sanitizer in the world ain't gonna protect me from your kid who just coughed right in my face, is it?

I have determined that the fastest way to lose respect for someone is to add them on facebook and watch what shows up on your feed. :'^|
too bad I can't seem to find the guts to unfriend all these people I never even talk to because somehow I'm afraid that this will make me look like the dick in this situation instead of them, with all their awful BS posts and unfunny "jokes" that use people like me as the punchline. oof.

@LordLucre: I'm glad you like it!

@Amber Lynne: hello hello! I'm not feeling picky about what to draw, but I can list you some of my favorite aesthetics if that helps.
i love goth, punk, witchy, pagan, and voodoo inspired looks, anything to do with horror or Halloween themed, and folklore/ magical creatures and monsters.
and I just love working with interesting or unusual features and designs in general.
if there's anyone you typically struggle to get art for, it's probably someone I'd enjoy drawing lol

and I will have to check out your thread once I get home

@LordLucre: I found some drawing time and finished your art! Let me know if you'd like any changes made.

Just making another update to let y'all know I haven't forgotten about you. I've been working all week and have several days left to go. I don't know if I'll have time to do art before or after work during that time, but I'll certainly try. If not, I've got 2 days off for the first time in a while coming up after this 8-day stretch. ;v; If I can't get anything done during/after that, I'm just gonna give up and cancel trades and close shop 'cause this is ridiculous.
tfw you wish you were being quarantined like everybody else so you could stay home and draw

OK, that's hilarious... in a really sad, smh kinda way.

@Priestess of Pie: If they help, then it seems like a good idea; what were you taking? The only thing I've ever used (with any measure of success) was benadryl, which isn't for sleep but knocks me out like nothing else. Problem is I'll sleep for 10 hours straight if I take it and I don't wanna risk it.. plus I have no business taking allergy medicine on a nightly basis. Not a good long-term solution at all lol.
I have wondered if sleep apnea was a possibility, 'cause sometimes I do wake up gasping for breath. but not all the time, and I'm not much of a snorer or anything as far as I know, so I don't think that's my issue, either. Stress makes it worse for me, too. tbh I think my problem is being a chronically stressed out 2nd shift worker in a world full of day shift people. ;v;

That sounds pretty cool tbh... At least more interesting dreams like that can be good for inspiration if you write or make any kind of art.

I saw an article about this pop up in my newsfeed yesterday. What planet are these people living on? :'^)

@Wildfire: aye, I dread having to get down to the store (whenever I find the time, that is) for milk. Last time I went, I only picked up 2-3 items and ended up waiting in line for 20 minutes. The shelves are getting empty and tbh I'm just glad so few people around here give a shit about oat milk. >n> I had to give up on my quest for flushable wipes, though.
