my dream
@one-time-i-dreamt I was pretending that I had cancer. I didn’t actually have cancer, but I told everybody otherwise. Well, I was walking in the park when a generous man stopped me and gave me a $35000 bottle of anti-cancer pills. I wanted to refuse but couldn’t, so I started eating the pills out of guilt. But before I finished the bottle I got the idea that I’d sell the remaining pills. I went to a canteen and started selling individual pills to people. When nobody was looking, I’d go to a plate with pasta, and put some pasta in my pills. The pasta looked similar to the pills, so nobody noticed that and I made quite a profit. Then I said that I didn’t actually have cancer, and I started rolling on the floor laughing, and the entire situation was so funny that I kept laughing after waking up
Apple hides attachments in malformed multipart mail
Recently I got a PDF of a filk songbook which I had contributed to. More precisely, the email said I was getting it, but there was no sign of an attachment. I wrote back to the editor who’d sent it, and she insisted it was there. Digging it out of the message revealed to me a whole new way of messing up email formats. A quick look at the message source showed that there really was an attachment…
tell me more about the songbook !!!!
I told everybody to fuck off, and slept in a tent 2 hours away from my town
Pretty much what it says on the cover. Got into a few nasty arguments w/ friends and told myself I needed a break from my life and from modern civilization, so I packed a tent and a sleeping bag, turned off my phone and fucked off somewhere with my car. found some nice camping grounds and spent the rest of the day + the night there
[+] comfy and romantic experience
[+] went for a swim for the first time in a while
[+] experienced good human interaction
[-] got extremely cold at night, even with multiple layers of clothing and a sleeping bag
[-] couldn’t get much sleep
[-] got my ass kicked when I came back
I just discovered second-hand clothing stores
holy shit this is the best thing ever
$40 got me an amazing pair of jeans (easily my most favorite pair, from all the jeans I’ve ever had), some mediocre-but-still-nice khakis, a fucking cool and comfy light jacket, two pairs of sweatpants, a nice sweater and a sports tshirt
And to think that I once spent $40 on a single shitty-ass jacket that didn’t turn out to be half as comfy as my new $10 one
Seven’s my favourite daughter I know what’s best I will protect her You and your kind Will be slaughtered If you stand in the way Of my favourite daughter
“Favourite Daughter” by Leslie Hudson, a chilling duet for Janeway and the Borg Queen. I got to see Leslie Hudson perform this live with Dr. Mary Crowell, and it was amazing.
What it’s actually like to work at a clothing store
After about a month of working at a clothing store, here are my experiences
- I try to avoid customers as much as possible because if they ask me anything, chances are I’ll have to admit that I don’t know shit, and I’ll have to send them to the manager
- my best experience in the workplace was when I helped a woman get something off a high shelf, while she talked with her daughter about the kind tall man who was helping her
- my worst experience in the workplace was when I came in hungover after 5 hours of sleep. Luckily they put me in the warehouse and I had almost no human interaction the entire shift, except for my new supervisor, who assumed that I was fucking up simple tasks because nobody bothered to explain anything to me
- when I first started, I noticed one coworker who seemed completely soulless and emotionless. i wondered what the hell. A month later I am that coworker
- the hardest question from a customer was, whether a different store (halfway across the country) had an XXL-sized clothing section. That was when I still got lost sometimes trying to find the toilet
- the speakers play the same 20 pop songs on repeat, and it’s much more soul-crushing than one would think
- the highlight of my shift is using the announcement system, because 1) it stops the pop music 2) it’s just very fun
- there are millions of types of jeans, bras and black t-shirts, and they ALL look identical, and if I put one in the wrong pile, the manager kicks my ass
- I love it when people say hello and goodbye to me
Somebody put my phone number on a hookup website
So apparently 5 days ago somebody put my phone number on a certain shady nasty site mostly used by escorts, in the man-seeking-woman section. I believe that they just mistyped the number, since the name wasn’t even remotely mine, and the post seemed pretty genuine. I found out about it when some unknown phone number sexted me. I clarified that she got the wrong number, but she kept sinning into my phone despite that. I said that I’m unemployed and I live with my parents but that seemed to have the opposite effect. so after not being sure whta to do I just wrote that i’m a good christian who reads books and is asleep by 8 and they finally stopped
