How are you doing? - Kiwi Farms Wellness Check

I was having a red bull unmasked on my walk and this stern looking skinny old lady walked all the way around me into the street and a car nearly nailed her. Is everyone just fucking stupid now? I'm so disappointed at how sheeplike people are.

Sheep are much more aware of their surroundings than Homo civilis
 
Karen, I understand you, I really, really do.

I really understand how shit it is that your credit card was stolen and the company I work for is giving you the runaround because guess what - it's really not safe to process refunds to something else than PayPal or a credit card (original of which was stolen).

I do understand.

That doesn't give you an excuse to unleash a 15 minute torrent of complaints, where I can barely put my word in edgeways, telling me how you're a "frontline worker", how this and this and this and this is shameful and bad and how you're tired and how you're frustrated and how you never are going to recommend our company ever again.

The funniest thing is how you kept repeating that Canada isn't a third-world country, that you don't have to jump hoops to get a 100 CAD refund and how you worked in customer support and there's this thing "above and beyond".

No, people who worked in customer support are never this complaining to their fellow brethren. They know how sucky it is to work there sometimes. The fact that you displaced your frustration on me, a schmuck who has never even seen the dime of your money is reprehensible and entitled. The fact that you've complained for 15 minutes straight won't make your money come back faster. I'll just need some time to recharge because this is draining.
 
I keep craving and buying fig bars, I found a brand that is 20x better than fig newton's and got 6 boxes of them. I've adapted to Coofworld fairly well and that is actually making people criticize me for not being miserable enough. Nobody I know has died or even gotten deathly ill and the fearporn news full of deaths is just an abstract concept to me. I kinda hope some of the assholes I've had problems with are losing their minds having to be shiftless bums without being able to flex on everyone about their empty, snobby elitist lives. Welcome to hell, motherfucker! I'll come out of this ok and they won't.

Good attitude to have, man - Just watch the sugars in those fig cakes...Don't wan't to sidestep the clownplague, and then die of diabeetus.
 
I was late to an early morning appointment because my cockwhore phone decided it needed to update (i.e., make all the buttons smaller and shift to a harder-to-read font) instead of perform its primary function as my alarm clock.

On the plus side, I don't really care that much about being late. When you schedule me so early in the morning that waking up at 10:30 PM makes me late, you can lick my asshole. That's the other thing that pisses me off, today.

I've gotten back into reading books and I feel proud of myself. I've finished several in the space of three months, including Lord of the Rings. I forgot how much I enjoy reading, how different an experience it is from watching a movie or playing a video game. I guess I fell off because for four straight years I took a bunch of literature courses, all of which required me to read a shitload of books within a short period of time, and that's no way to enjoy a book in my opinion. I like going at my own pace, deciding at what point I want to stop, not at some arbitrary point a professor wants me to (or if they want me to finish the whole damn thing in 3 days, that's fucking bullshit).

Hell I feel excited about what to read next. I'm leaning towards Dune or maybe Cat's Cradle or Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. It makes me feel good.

I fucking HATE CSR and customer service oriented stuff because of this shit in part. "I WORK/WORKED AT X COMPANY AND WE ALWAYS WENT THE EXTRA MILE TO DO THINGS THAT WERE TECHNICALLY NOT IN THE RULES, NOW BEND YOUR RULES FOR ME IMMEDIATELY"

I read Dune this year, it was pretty rad.

I had a very busy day yesterday so the quiet I have today has been soothing. It's allowing me to refocus and think
 
I am feeling pretty nice. My body is tired due to shoveling gravel all day in the rain, but it's a good tired.
Just chilling with music and thinking about story stuff.

I have a job interview today for a graphic designer. Super excited and optimistic. But not too optimistic.

And I’ve been working on traditional art lately. Mostly inking and colored pencils in this drawing prompt book I dug up.
Good luck! Also glad to hear you are working on the traditional skills as well. I would say it is the best to keep the best of both mediums digital and physical for maximum effect.

Read the next two books. They make it radtasmagorical. It's so much more than people think. It's not a hero's journey, nor an allegory for then-timely world affairs. It's a highly meta tragedy.

Leto I was too honorable to do what was necessary. Paul loved too much to do what was necessary. And Leto II was willing to do what was necessary, so he suffered more than anyone. God, I love those books.

Star Wars is Dune as interpreted by a surface-level retard with a ww2 fetish.
 
Apply for position, specifically ask the recruiter to provide feedback on my resume in the cover letter because I was informed this company is struggling to fill positions and given the number of times I've applied before I would really like to know if I'm doing something wrong or otherwise hurting my chances before the interview phase.

Get boilerplate rejection, no feedback, nothing.
 
I read Dune this year, it was pretty rad.
I tried starting it at least a dozen times over the course of the last 6 or so years, but I would end up stopping. Not because the book was bad but because I'd get really busy with other stuff like school or class-related readings and I'd end up putting it on the backburner. By the time I would come back to it I would forget most of what happened. I'm not terribly busy these days so now's probably as good a time as any.
 
I'm doing alright.

A bit sad that my sleep schedule is complete ass right now, but I'll work on fixing that.
 
I get being a bit more dry in the winter, but I have become a static electricity factory lately. It doesn't help that I wear fuzzy stuff like sweaters, socks (on carpet) and flannel to keep warm. I'll regularly touch things and feel the static. I touched my computer just now while plugging in something and got a pretty decent shock. I was worried it would mess up my pc. My boyfriend has jokingly told me to ground myself before touching him, but now it's becoming completely serious. I don't know how to fix this.

In more positive news, the store I applied to and did (in my opinion) a pretty sub-par recorded interview actually reached back for an interview in person. It's no guarantee of the job but I'll take it. I haven't had a "real" job (been a full time student and just doing odd jobs for money lately) for over a year so I'm nervous.
