hoo boy

Work continues to be shit, but with the most recent disaster that this hellsite has coughed up, anytime here will be documenting any old rps and getting ready for the big exodus. I have no idea where to go. Maybe Pillowfort if that site actually manages to work out; maybe wait a little and see if Tumblr backpedals on this new update. But in all honestly?  Tumblr just done pulled the plug on itself. I’m fairly certain that most, if not all of my blogs are going to get the banhammer if that winds up being the route they go. If you want/need any other methods to contact me hmu for my Discord.

MIA situation as of now-Paige needs to bitch

Sorry for falling off the face of the earth, I may as well fill you guys in while I’m here.

I work at a car lube shop, not hard work outside of customers being a pain in the ass. Generally our busiest time of the year is the two or three weeks around Thanksgiving, surprisingly it beats Christmas. But on top of that, we are currently crazy understaffed. Starting October we had a full staff of 8 people. From that point on--

Coworker 1 was the most recently hired, full time. Out of the two months he was hired, he had only worked 21 hours, everything else was either a no-call no-show, or he called off, the former being the more frequent. Got fired eventually. Coworker 2 started off great, but eventually started pulling the same shit as Coworker 1 until his eventually getting fired a couple weeks ago. Coworker 3 got a second job shortly after Coworker 2 got fired, but said he would be into work a 3:30. I don’t think I’ve ever seen him come in on time since then, generally leaving me to stick around and extra hour or two (assuming it doesnt put me on overtime since we are not allowed overtime.) And generally it is a shot in the dark if he will come into work at all.

Coworker 4, lord knows what happened, was doing great and then just a couple days ago--nothing. Had us really worried because this was not like him at all. Only yesterday we got a call from him to hear that he was fine but would be gone for two months. Coworker 5 has always been a lazy shit. Generally works a 3 hour shift except open to close on Sunday, but even then he has always came in stoned off his ass and sits on the footstool the entire shift. And would get really defensive when you were like “Hey, a little help here?” because you were back to back with cars wanting oil changes. His past four shifts he has called off because he ‘doesn’t want to deal with people’ leaving us stranded on three ways or two ways (technically not even supposed to be open on a two-way). Just a couple days ago, he called my General Manager to say he wasn’t coming back and he was done with the job, leaving us on a two way. Again. So he’s gone, thank god.

So as of now, my shop is currently staffed with myself, my general manager, my assistant general manager, so three people- not counting kid who works maybe two hours a shift if he decides to come in at all. If we are lucky we can twist the arm of the District manager to loan us some bodies from other stores.

But this does lead to some good news. A.) My being pretty much secure for a job for, well, actually doing my fucking job.

B.) Doing 40 hours a week without getting kicked out because labor percentage is too high has done a nice improvement on my paychecks. Come a couple weeks or a month, I might have enough saved up to purchase my budget dream car. Mazda MX-5 Miata NA, not sure what year yet.

Icarus Headcanon 001– Insecurity

Since birth, Icarus’ eye color and height had gotten him into plenty of trouble. In the family he was always treated as the black sheep, outside of Aldaril and Ferawen (and even then, Ferawen was always cautious around him.) At birth, his grandmother attempted to exile him out of family into the wild. After his mothers death, his uncle wanted to abandon the boy. For most of his childhood, his cousins left him out of most activities unless guilted into it by their mother. His uncle wanted absolutely nothing to do with him. Icarus saw that as long as he did not intervene with them, they did not go out of their way to antagonize him, so he let them be for the most part.

Outside of the family, he was either treated as a curiosity or a potential outsider and prone to scorn. Making friends as a child was difficult, either no one wanted to play with the ‘outsider’, or because their parents didn’t want them to play with that strange child over there. Icarus then began his habit of avoiding eye contact- perhaps if they couldn’t see they would not be so quick to judge. Alas, it only made an already awkward child even more awkward.

Adulthood, while people were more polite about it, there was no doubt in his mind that he was being silently judged-- Quite vocally on bad days. When Icarus joined the Thalmor, he had hoped the adornment of the robes of a superior mer would ease him of the troubles of his abnormalities. 

It did not.

While the common Altmer seemed to no longer notice while he was in his robes, his quirks were magnified by his colleagues, constantly grabbing at his face, questioning his origins, getting labeled with that thrice-damned title he loathed oh so much: ‘hulkynd’-- a ‘broken child.’

As of today, while he makes less of an effort to avoid eye-contact with the other races, depending on the race, should he see another Altmer, he will make as much as an effort to shield his eyes-- pulling his hood over his face, avoiding eye contact, head down, ect. Should he be forced into a situation where he cannot wear his Thalmor robes, he will act incredibly agitated and over the edge. 

I love my cranky boi
