My shoulder hurts if I raise it too far and I'm broke until the start of next month.

So, in all, I say I'm doing pretty good.

A refresher course-

Ah. Whoops I feel like I'm at fault here. Got it, I'll try to stick to the rules.

McDonald's is a crappy workplace and I am tired.

At least it gives me money to fill my room with tiny Japanese men. I'm trying to save up for a better laptop too, and it's going... okay.

McDonald's sucks. They always kept changing the schedule daily and getting mad because I didn't magically know they changed when I worked next. That's why I quit.

In other news. Don Bluth just launched his new animation studio with a goal to revive hand drawn animation.

Yeah, but quitting isn't an option for me at the moment, so I keep showing up.

Also yes please hand animation is pretty.

As someone who used to work at Wendy's, I feel your guy's' pain.

This is why I push people in improve themselves. College, trade school, apprenticeship. Do what you can to learn a skill to make a living wage. Don't stay in dead end jobs because they will not respect you.

Yeah, I know...

I dunno, I guess I just feel stuck in life. I'm a loner, so there isn't anyone to really give me the shove I need, so I just do the same routine and find bits of joy in silly things.

I have deep seated issues.

What you need is to find the drive to push yourself for something greater. Be it a book, a public speaker, or a friend that will push you to where you wanna be.

I know, it's just... hard. I've got a lot ahead of me, and a lot to deal with on that road.

Guess it's nice to know there are people who get it.

My best job that I had was when I worked at a movie theater because I got to see movies for free, and we had a cool break room that people chill out during break time. It was also fun to interact with people at my job too.

Working at a movie theatre must be awesome!

Well, as long as you don't flub it up that is. I remember hearing on the news of an incident where a few employees accidentally loaded up horror movie trailers before a G-rated kid's movie. The theatre got a lot of complaints about parents seeing "men being lit on fire" among other things and generally having their kids traumatised.

BTW do you get free popcorn?

My hockey team is down 3-1 games in the conference finals to a group of cheating scumbuckets.

It's finally getting warmer here where I live as Australia enters spring. I think it's because I grew up in the tropics as a kid, but I'm generally a happier person when it's warmer. Of course, hay fever's gonna be an issue but there's always medication.

I've noticed you've referenced being on a hockey time a few times, and out of curiosity are you in a professional hockey team or a local hockey team?

Neither (I wish I was though). I’m an extremely disgruntled, soon-to-be-EX-hockey fan. And by “My hockey team”, I mean “The team I’m about to quit cheering for”.

I just finished an assignment and handed it in literally a minute before the deadline. Let me tell you, it's surprisingly hard to finish an assignment when a FREAKING CATCHY CHRISTMAS SONG IS PLAYING INSIDE YOUR HEAD.

I can't deal with Christmas before Halloween...

It's a Filipino thing. We generally start celebrating Christmas once September starts (during the "ber" months). They're already playing "Christmas In Our Hearts" in the Philippines.

I really want to go back to Philippines for Christmas but I don't think I'll be able to because of lockdown. Bummer.

People who work at the theater had to pay for their own, but we got a 3% discount. Movie theaters make their money from food, drinks, gift cards, and stubs points (I used to work at AMC from March 2010-June 2012). 95% of the ticket sales goes back to the studios. Someone did play a Scream 4 trailer in front of Yogi Bear for laughs, but our boss was not happy about it. He was demoted from working at the Film Projector to working at the concession stand.

... 3%?! What?! That’s, like, basically nothing!

I just got my Nintendo Switch in the mail today.

Whoo! Hooray for getting packages

Riiiiight . . . . "accidently".

Now to wait till you get Furry Island then I shall pillage.

Especially on Sunday of all days. I just finished setting it up.

Furry Island?

Animal Crossing New Horizons.

Ooh nice! Any games you have or planning to get?

:cry

Ignore me; it's nothing.

...

Okay what happened?

Nothing, I'm just really upset.

Oh okay then.

Hang in there!

Well the console came with Mario Kart 8 and I bought Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth before I got the console. I pretty much got the console for the Digimon game.

What’s wrong?

Thanks.

Honestly, I don't know.

I’m sorry. I hope things get better for you.

This is probably going to sound trite, but, it's okay to just be sad sometimes. I think it happens to everyone occasionally. (It can be like your subconscious working out things in a dream, where a million things combined in small ways to elicit this response.) If it happens regularly, and it starts to interfere with your day-to-day life, that's something to talk to a professional about. But if you feel a little bummed out some random night? Don't worry about it. Cry. It's okay.

hi is this the thread we go to when one of our city's professional sports teams wins a game in the ugliest way possible because i don't know what to do with this unsettling combination of disgust and elation

goddamn bears

Surprisingly Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon Crystal has shipped from L A California in the USA. Waiting on Sailor Moon to transfer to the USA to come here.

And I’m swearing off hockey forever because my team was cheated out of the Cup championship

That's what I said to myself when I swore off to buying Gunpla forever. It didn't work.
