@Totalanimefan:
yeah thankfully it's a reasonable price. they max you at getting 8 at a time, which is also super reasonable lol but i ain't about to drop 80 bucks rn i got 4 of them.

It has seemed pretty quiet around here this month, but I also don't attend community discussions or pay close attention to every update, so I just assume they're working on stuff.

I bet staff is probably also balancing irl stuff too, this year has been insanely rough on a lot of people. I'm part of a couple groups or events that are normally on schedule but end up delayed a ton this year. I hope things get easier soon for everyone ^^;

@Aisukohi:
GOD i forgot about government shut downs. My husband works full time and his boss wants to move him up to a management position in about 5 months. So I'd be fine if it's not for like.. months XD
But yes, this is a good one to consider for sure.

No matter what I'd do I may take a pay cut, but I'm already losing 10k of my wage this year just based on economy and I'm a commission worker. no bueno

@Atropa Belladonna:
LOL well I'm trying to figure out how people afford food without jobs too! There are some people who find ways of getting paid by the government and they might not use that money responsibly. Or sometimes they have a spouse who makes a lot of money so they can stay home.
Its crazy to me, my husband and I both work 45 hours every week and we still can't imagine spending so much money on food like that.

Yes, it translates to womb witch. Its fitting

@Atropa Belladonna:
Yes, exactly! I'm in the US where unpaid sick days are common, sadly. It depends on the job and also which state we live in, because some states require sick pay. mine doesn't.

omg gebährmutterhexe
I have heard the translation of that before and I think it's perfect



if you can, test yourself for covid cause a lot of symptoms line up with it. but either way just take it easy, drink water (especially to help with spicy bathroom trips) and sleep as much as you can ;;

hope you get well soon! it is indeed sick season

@Totalanimefan:
turns out they're 10$ per test at my local pharmacy so not terrible!

I dunno why but when I'm in public I'm happy to wear a mask without caring what others think. but when my manager is actively annoying me at work i just get fed up and remove it. i shouldn't but it's frustrating.

@neon:
pfffff i tossed them a month ago cause i didn't know that
i called pharma and they're not too expensive so it's fine. So far I'm negative!

@Atropa Belladonna:
I agree! When I was younger i got away with it more, but now if i go to work despite being sick, i end up getting unbearably worse. but sometimes you don't have a choice D:

I'm glad i tested negative so far
not just for not being sick (aside from pms giving me mad muscle aches and fatigue as if i did have the new variant lmfao dramatic ovaries)
but also were already at half staff this week and weekend.

@Atropa Belladonna:
oh gosh I'm sorry, that sounds awful to deal with!!


@Totalanimefan:
USPS is where i got my first set, but they're not distributing them anymore. even that covidtest.org or whatever that site was called, they're not distributing either, they say that the funding for it ran out. makes sense.

I always have my mask but no one else wears them here ;; i get mocked so much at work if i wear it. annoyinggggg

its sick season and covid is circling around me!
My managers family got it, then he got it, and I work with him on every shift I get! And I have to use his desk sometimes. since he tested positive Ive cleaned his desk and he's at home this week, but obv I worked with him closely up to this point. he sits directly behind me.
So the odds of me getting it from him are pretty high.

THEN GO FIGURE my at home tests expired in May so I recently tossed them. I didn't get more right away cause my mind wandered from me, and now I realize I have to pay for the tests now
They don't just lemme have a dang price before going into this and my insurance doesn't like cover anything.

We're not allowed to quarantine cause then the store would shut down entirely. Let's see what happens... Hope it's all good! I've been hugged by covids before and not caught it so maybe I'm one of those rare ones who don't get it after the first time?


Be safe out there!! With jobs only giving 5 days off for covid and no quarantine chances for some, this will only keep spreading for a while.

@Aisukohi:
Yeah, good benefits would be nice. My job has benefits but they're not a great fit for me either. Not the worst I've seen, but a 4500 deductible and it doesn't cover birth control or mental health at all... I'm not a fan XD

I also just found out 5 min ago that when we get PTO they don't tell us by how many hours, they tell us how many "days" we have of it. but even though we work 11 hour shifts our PTO only pays for 8 hours
!!!
Gotta love it.

I need to get started on gov job research soon :,,)
it's hard to commit to changing jobs, kinda scary when your home depends on your income being stable and good

@Qiqi Agatha:
Yes absolutely!!
that said, I would neeeeeever try to cosplay a character that is POC! I think that would be too rude of me XD
I only draw them cause its healthy to appreciate our differences! But when it comes to culture, I'll let the right people tell that story, so I can support them instead

This is an extremely good point! And well worth keeping in mind

@GoblinsAndTea:
Gosh its so hard to just stick with something! At this point I have gone by so many names online
I was consistent only in childhood, then as I became an adult my personality feels like it became super inconsistent. It reflects in my constant username changes haha

@MaxIsConfused:
Yep, that is exactly where it dawned on me that she became unintentionally a persona.
So yeah, for the sake of shes-not-me, I might rebrand sometime. But that it isn't bordering on being rude, gives me more time to think through my next change <3
