New guy and I are on the outs today after he called my dvds “relics of old technology.”

They changed the security camera layout at work and now I have no fucking idea where anything is

I need to think more about what I’m going to do after treatment and what I can do during this later phase of treatment to work towards it but my brain is deeply averse.

Worst part about recovering from surgery is I miss the horses
Like how could I go without seeing these babies

Ok finished my performance review write up and I’m like well I can argue that I did do well. I mean not super excellent and not promotion well but I don’t think it’s PIP level bad. I did feel like a fraud though and I feel the things that I did poorly lingering over me like a storm cloud though. I’m not happy and I don’t feel motivated to want to do better!

the last baby/juvenile beardie at my work (named dave) has been more physically attached to me than usual as other ppl have pointed out several times recently, & i like to think its like they say & that im “his person” but that also makes me kinda sad bc i wouldnt want him to be sad to leave me when he finally goes home with a customer. hes been with us since he was like 2-3 months old, & its been over a year now i think? almost? so it would make sense if he was kind of attached to me in a way, & like he sees me very consistently literally almost every day, despite the number of ppl who pass by him each day, im 1 of the 2 workers who take care of him & 9/10 its me whos feeding & handling him, going out of my way to check on him randomly & say hi to him by name, taking him out for a few minutes just to hang out when the store is quiet. so it would make sense if he recognizes my face & my voice, & may appear attached to me bc he knows me & doesnt really know anyone else even tho he sees so many ppl.
anyway today i swear he was acting like he knew exactly what i was saying, either one of the words i said or just the tone of how i was saying it, but i took him out & was carrying him on my chest over to where i normally feed him & on the way over there i asked him if he was hungry/ready to eat/if he wanted some crickets & he literally cocked his head & looked me dead in the face when i said it & it reminded me of when a dog tilts its head in recognition when u ask if it wants a treat or to go out for a walk lol.
ugh i wish i had pictures of him but i never really think to take pics much at work. but just take my word for it, hes a really good boy & hes super chill. i hope he finds a good home soon but also not too soon bc id really miss him. hes the last of his siblings to be sold. he was always the biggest one of the babies too.

don’t get me wrong, I’m generally chill with office noise and i believe in people’s rights to make as many personal phone calls during work hours as possible, but i do sometimes wish i knew less about my coworkers’ lives

I will say, after a whole flop of a first term, winning 3 out of 5 debates so far in the second term is very encouraging.

Imagine going on a tirade about me being a fucking bitch and I’m just at home playing Pokopia minding my business

Ugh! I hate feeling queasy when there’s an issue with time off that I’ve requested for work. I was told it was all fine but then got scheduled on the day I’m supposed to fly out so now I’m waiting for a response and I pray it’s not gonna be an issue (even though it’s usually not but now I’m slightly stressing it’s gonna be an issue this time) because it’s my niece’s first birthday, I ain’t missing that.

It’s so strange when a client comes into shelter with kids and then says “I haven’t really told [kid] why we’re here.” Like… so you just moved this child into a house with a bunch of strangers and they think it’s… what? For a fun change of pace? I’d bet money that kid witnessed the abuse. I’m pretty sure any kid over the age of, idk, 3, can put it together. You’re not protecting your child by not having this conversation. You’re prioritizing your comfort.

honest question do you really get judged for playing your switch during breaks at work because i do and nobody treats me any different for it

Someone removed me from a work slack channel…… it’s literally a sinking feeling.
