onboarding for a new job is like "hey we sent you the information to make your wöörk account. once youre on wöörk therell be an invite to join KlickKlack, which is how we send out the schedule. You'll also be receiving an email for You!Niversity, our online training app. There is a separate training app to cover POS training called LearnIt! that you will have to make an account for and you will only use it for like 10 minutes and then never again."

#every single time!#but it sure is better than being unemployed i'll tell u what

"Stop saying 15 year olds with weird interests are cringe, they're 15" this is true however you should also stop saying adults with weird interests are cringe because who gives a shit

I want to share some wisdom from my high school art teacher.

In my AP Art class, there was a girl who was just starting to experiment with mixed media. At this point she was still playing around, trying to decide what direction she wanted to go with her portfolio. So one critique day, she brought in an abstract canvas with some rhinestone highlights and painted and real peacock feathers. She loved sparkles and peacock feathers so she thought she’d try introducing them a *little*. And after everyone had given some input, the teacher gave her his advice, VERY roughly paraphrased here:

“So here’s the thing… I do not like this style. These are just elements that do not speak to me personally, but I see that you like them, and you’re doing interesting things with them.

“My biggest critique is, I only merely *dislike* this piece. I want you to make me HATE it. Go crazy with the things that you like. Don’t hold back trying to make it palatable to people like me. Because I am NEVER going to like it. And if the audience does not like it, it should drive them crazy seeing how much YOU love it.”

Her portfolio was chock full of neon colors and glitter and rhinestones and splashes of peacock feathers and it was a delight. Our teacher despised every piece lol, but she got great marks and I think even won some awards. And more importantly, she was happy and proud of the results. Because she didn’t limit herself by trying to appeal to people who were never going to enjoy what she enjoyed.

Takeaway here: be as cringe as you want. Don’t limit yourself based on other ppl’s tastes. They’re not you, and you are incredible 💕

Anonymous asked:

Have you ever cried or been significantly upset at the death of a celebrity?

  • Yes (which one?), because I cared about them or their work
  • Yes, for practical reasons (ex. it was a politician with good political views)
  • Yes, but not because I cared about them (ex. their cause of death was a trigger for you)
  • No, but I would if certain famous people were to die
  • No, and I wouldn't even if a celebrity I liked died
  • No, because there are no celebrities I like/care about
  • Other (put in tags)
