The General Thread

It just really sucks. My manager and I have known each other a long time, technically longer than I've been with the company because I was a sometimes-customer in the store she started in, so it was really hard. I was only a week or so shy of four years at this place, too.

My main problem is I can't do what I'm trained to do because of my many allergies and some other health issues, so I'm stuck trying to find other things I'm capable of within the beauty industry and it's not easy. If I can get the money scraped together I want to get my cosmetology license reinstated and maybe become a brand educator or something... All I seem to be good at is talking up the things I like, so maybe that's the way to go?

Getting somewhere in advertising/marketing may help.
 
I've applied for Toys R Us today 'cause my degree isn't really getting me anywhere locally and I need to save to move out of here.

Also just took a fat dump. Felt good, man. :woo:
 
Wanted to go out somewhere today on my bike, but the sudden shift in the weather and the realization that autumn is finally here has put me off for a while. The frost will be coming yet the trees are still clinging onto their green colors.

And all I wanted to do was buy some white ink from a Hobby Lobby!

Have the day off, cleaned the kitchen last night. Figured that when I woke up I could just roll out of bed, make a coffee, and start the day peacefully.
Went downstairs to discover a mountain of cups and crash all over the counter because my brother in-law didn't want to pull a new garbage bag out of the drawer 6 inches away from the trash can.
Not the nicest thing to wake up to.

I picked up MGS 2 and 3 for PS2 recently. I tried playing 3, and while I find the gameplay immersive I dislike how much I have to go to my status menu (change camo, eat food, perform medecine, etc). So I put that down to play 2, mostly because I feel I have to check out it's infamous story for myself.
 
I went to a Halloween party last weekend. Ended up at another persons house by the end of the night, stayed up a whole whopping 24 hours straight, and spent the night there. I was treated to the sounds of said host fucking a girl that was also there with me, we all made fun of it.
 
The biggest second amendment sperg on the block is a paranoid, ignorant cokehead that has no business owning a gun. I hope he chimps out on social media over the election and gets the feds knocking on his door.

I'm actually understanding the last two chapters of my Office Accounting class. For the first time since we started, I did the homework almost entirely correctly and immediately was able to understand the one thing that threw me off (I added State Income Tax to the payroll register when the problem didn't ask for that.) I got a D on my last exam, so that brought me down to a C, but if I get an A on this that'll bring me up to a B. Plus the actual final is optional, comprehensive (but only multiple choice/matching/definitions) and replaces your lowest grade, so I could easily dig an A out of this mess of a class. And all my other classes are easy A's so....I could get a 4.0 this semester. And if I get a 4.0 next semester (which there is no reason I shouldn't, given the classes I'm taking) then I'll have a 3.79 GPA.

Holy shit.

Not only that, but my hometown college....I went to check it out over the weekend at an event they were hosting, and they're way more impressive then I first thought. I guess it's just because I grew up here, and my parents went there, but I always thought it was a bit...rinky dink, y'know? Good, but not something you'd be proud to put on your resume. But they have actual, NATIONAL recognition for some stuff, especially their debate teams.

IDK, it just hit me over the weekend that I have like...actual options. The things I wanna do might not be so far out of my reach. Especially finance wise.

It's been a good few days, basically.

At this rate, even if Trump wins the election, I can't be brought down. I'll just laugh my ass off and wait for him to be impeached.
 
HOLY SHIT THE GIRL WHO REEEEE'D IN OFFICE ACCOUNTING IS NOT, REPEAT, NOT JUST OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL SHE IS EXACTLY AS OLD AS I AM AND VOTED GOD WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY GENERATION WHY DO I HAVE TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH IDIOTS :'(

I can't open this smoothie bottle and it's starting to annoy me.

(EDIT: Finally did it! It's nice to be actually hydrated again.)
