Thinking about;
* some memories of Augusta, growing up. Literally a world which doesn’t exist anymore, that’s kinda mind blowing.
* related, kinda wanting to watch a batch of Muppet Show episodes- was it as good as the vague memories, worse, better?
* really want to work f/t as an artist though I really have no clue how to do it
* want to go home and draw, though I probably should wash dishes and move boxes
If there’s a soundtrack for “I was not made to work for a bank” it would probably be Hendrix. This album just makes me want to work as a malacologist or phycologist and surf and smoke out. Sadly my professional dreams of chitons are long behind me, nobody gets to have stuff like that anymore.
Does not help that I just processed my first lease rather than an EFA and had no training for it previously.
The first Hendrix track I ever heard is still my favorite!
foo fighters, sui mention, depress o rama
Song interpretation; in “Next Year” where he sings about coming home next year? He never will. Similar to how I think “MIA” on the same album is about suicide. Seriously the inside of my skull is a bleak place sometimes, thankfully I’m pretty okay right now.
mh-, day job
I made three mistakes on this funding; the most minor was really my mistake, the other two were things I didn’t have enough experience to spot.
Thankfully my supervisor caught it, but now I feel awful- you know, “who would win, years of therapy, journaling and meditation, or memories of adults screaming at you about being stupid?”
I really want to do my job well, please believe me? This’ll pass.
My worries are probably rooted in childhood where I couldn’t get away from people who hurt me - and everything at least *seemed* really personal, so the idea that I alienate everyone and people hate me is way more past than present.
Realization from last night;
Despite my worries that people don’t like me, rationally few people dislike me and more people actively like me. You have to really spend time with someone to like or dislike them, so most people will be fairly neutral; their feelings are pretty WYSIWYG, and they move on quickly. You’ll spend enough time to dislike someone only when there’s no real choice; spending time with someone you like helps you like them more.
I am trying to be a good bank employee, tbh I want to draw (either furry stuff, a big cyborg gorilla fight, Spelljammer stuff, or just fennecs - anyone got preferences?).
Sorta want to share this realization about social interactions from last night, or about my apparent clones. Anyone got preferences there too?
Lots of random gunk, but some drawings and cooking talk too. Obsesses about DnD and related topics. Left-leaning/profoundly frustrated politics. Black lives matter; trans rights are human rights.
