Doin' alright.
Enjoying the dappervolk event that's currently going on.

Glad that the day is over because it started out absolutely exhausting.

I get past that by ordering all my stationery by when I bought it and forcing myself to use it in that order. That way I know I'll eventually use all of it and I won't be as tempted to stash some or only use a particular kind.

Most of my stationery use is for penpals or my bullet journal.

I thought I would get more addicted to online stationery stores like jetpens for buying stationery during the pandemic but.... nope. I think because I'm at home with everything I already own it's easier to tell myself I don't need anything else loool.

I miss fun shopping too. I used to go to all the semi-local stationery stores.

I mostly get the same things. I'm a pretty picky eater so I don't really branch out that much haha.

Yea I don't live close enough to a city to be able to walk everywhere.
But with the pandemic I've actually been getting my groceries delivered - another reason it stays pretty on schedule is because I put the order in earlier in the week to reserve my time slot for it.

Yea that's true.

I always get groceries on sunday.
I'm a very 'on a schedule' kind of person lol.

Yea I'm okay with switching the topic too. Only so much time I should probably spend complaining. :P

Me too!

Yea... that's what I've heard but I honestly don't know for sure how true or not that is for me. I've talked to very few people about exactly how much I'm making and of those that I have if they were making more it's because they had a higher-level title than I did at the time so it made sense that they made more.

I usually prioritize culture too - and I will interview with startups. But I find they usually turn me down because of a 'culture mismatch' which is pretty much always because I want to work set hours loool. It could be the area I'm in has a different startup culture than other places. And with my current job search I'm really only looking at 'Design System Teams' because I got to work on one a few months ago and loved it and ended up not being able to stay. But they tend to exist more at bigger companies than smaller ones so I haven't been talking with startups as much this time around because of that.

Thanks! I'll definitely keep that in mind. ^-^

I've thought about it but the problem with most startups is that they usually have a culture of expecting you to work more than 40 hours a week and whenever they need you and that's super not for me. I need to be able to say that I'm done with work past a certain point in the evening and on weekends. I'd go insane if I was 'always on'.

I'm also still pretty low in years of experience. I think that has a lot to do with how I've been compensated so far.

@xvz:
I guuuuesss soooo. Theoretically I should be being paid more for my speed. I guess if I worked at a job where I actually was paid more than the people moving slower than me I might actually give them closer to my full speed.

@kay:
I'm really loving your avatar!
And maaaan I want a second bookshelf but after my boyfriend moved in there's not really enough space currently loool.

@pachi:
Yeaaaa I love my loft space. It's got a cute little window out into the rest of the apartment too rather than the usual railing setup I've seen before.

That's kind of neat that yours has your kitchen!

I probably wouldn't have moved at the time except I was able to find a place that came with a loft space while still being really affordable and so the loft space is my craft room now.

(and my office now that I'm wfh looool)

tbf I moved into my current apartment after I had my current job so I picked it in part for the closeness to work.
