Dear world, will I please get the chance to just be lazy for a bit, please. It's a bit of a curse to either be too busy or too nothing. Today I was rostered to have a lazy job when I wanted to dig in to teach myself some event software stuff for work.

All-day event jobs in the daytime. Dreamy.

Depressing when you look maybe your snazziest ever, long blonde hair and a suit, and no one bloody recognises ya. Maybe I have to stealth hug people.

I have also, because I'm dumb and sick and should sleep, done my restock. Finally. I'm not out of any pins I think! pocomoto.co.nz/product-cate...

For someone who'll be workig for 9h tomorrow, and has to get up at 6.30am, I'm way too awake and should fuck off to bed. I'm doing it again. I'm dumb. I'm still sick. I don't give myself breaks.

Things i can't talk to people about without bursting into tears: Project Hail Mary John Williams' music Jurassic Park

Have you seen the video in which Destiny Church call for killing, purging etc people. Tracks.

Oh wut, they throw Chloe out of parliament but Peters can still be openly racist and that's alright? Says it all.

Gonna show up to a remigration rally with a sign that says “you first”

Mild regrets i went in to work. I thought I was just going to be sitting on a desk, pressing a button every once in a while, but instead I'm in an uncomfy hallway with upper level advertising people.

If you come across me on tiktok as the viral skateboard Karen, i stand by it.

Omg work adjusted my entire shift so i can do my job interview on Friday after all. ❤️ Literally crying. Sweetest of humans.

Thousands mile stare.

I may no longer have a temperature for the first time since Friday. Hurrah. Nose still stuffed but no longer just ruuuunning like there's no tomorrow, and the coughing is better, too, now. There's a life after this?

Yelling at us in your ad? Block.

I tested AI again for a simple clearcut, but it's just not smart enough. ChatGPT'll apologise too hard, Claude gives me pass-agg sass when I ask it if it really had to change my entire logo when clearcutting my earplug container. It actually got mad w/ me. 🙄 Sycophant-ick.

Will probably come up with another special at some point, but for now, during the entire month of August, there's free shipping to non_RD addresses if you use the code 👉 FS100 👈 when checking out from www.pocomoto.co.nz! (That's what I just did. Not AI, obviously)

Dragged myself to the computer to do something productive while in sweats phase. 🤣 Life is ruled by how far into my dose of antiinflammatories I am.

Sometimes I get bitter that my mother will die and never acknowledge how often she's knowingly thrown us under the bus all our lives so that she could be a bang maid for some narcissist with a house and a thing for lovely blonde little girls. I would talk to her if she did.

Job interview was cancelled today. They tried to reschedule for Friday, but that would be in the middle of my first 8-hour- solo supervisor shift. So currently, we sit at "no job interview". Sob. Fair. I suppose I'm a weak human who got sick a lot this year.

Aaand back to the shivers. Where am I at; paracetamol or ibuprofen? Dear pharma industry, take all my money, and create sure fire cures for colds and flus, or just their symptoms. I'm not going to do expensive pharmacy lolly waters/lozenges.

Helping people financially when they've got children is actually something Julius Caesar first did. In Germany, it still exists and is quite substantial, with EU259 per child, what's that, like NZ$500? This does enter most sane people's decision-making around having more children.

That lidocaine syrup is the best thing ever against sore throat. It just turns it off. You just have to get it to the throat without touching anything else along the way.

Hm, tomorrow job would be sitting really far away from everyone, on my own for hours. I'd just pop in, masked, sit there, and then go home. Unless I'm still feverish that could work. Or if I don't sleep another whole night. I had 20min of sleep, best 20min ever. 20min in, body: Hi, pls pee. 😡

Always appreciate you posting articles, but if they're pay-to-read, it's just a brutal tease. Can't afford reading them, and the usual websites don't necessarily unlock them. Maybe we could all mark pay-to-read links with little ($$$) so we know not to gie them our pointless clicks.

Having shares means you get to vote for stuff like "Should the CEO get higher bonuses?" Me: NOPE.

In happy news: That's actually a HUGE dividend.

Zoom pharmacy casually forgot that I had repeats on my meds. Annoying.

Green party doing a fundraiser 500m fast film me, including a market. I'm just like... Ah ok, so we don't ask other Greens if they'd like to do a stall? Might leave the party. Will still vote etc, but i joined in the hope to participate, and literally all i get is "come doorknocking" (= no)

People without money won't buy things. 🤷‍♂️ More likely to do crime, though, or develop mental health issues. Personal presponsipility plerp.
