Venting about work 

@mawr Also Teams takes up more memory than all my Chrome and Firefox tabs (which contain two Slack tabs, three YouTube tabs, and at least two Trello tabs) combined so it just stops running in the background and doesn't show notifications ever.

Venting about work 

@mawr So um we use MS crap exclusively. What happens is that we just yell at each other across the open office, print things on paper to share files b/c Office Online barely works, use regular speakerphones for interviews because Skype never works, and every three days someone yells "where the fuck did I save my files is it in groups, teams, exchange, onedrive, other onedrive, or network share?!?!".

I work in education tho so we're still functional. Can't imagine this in tech.

@ElectricKeet The fact that a piroshky place is Panera sized makes me so happy I think I have to drop by there now just to check it out.

I just ate a bag of cheetos to make myself feel less sad. Yay self care!

Food Thoughtcrime 

@literorrery I was thinking a savory orange beef like thing but yeah that does a lot better. :3

Depression, Dysphoria, Weddings, Run On Sentence 

Friends are celebrating their 12th wedding anniversary and I'm like that's great I'm celebrating the fact that my last actual relationship fell apart almost exactly 12 years ago and the same depression and gender bullshit that killed it has been causing me to be completely broken and to sabotage any attempt I make at creating meaningful connections with people.

Today has not been a good day.

Design gripe (hopefully amusing) 

@indi They want to give me a headache when someone posts a screenshot of their thing that's their reason.

Design gripe (hopefully amusing) 

@indi what even is this

Babies and Maybe Depression 

I have so far managed to succeed at not responding to people saying "I'm pregnant!" with "I'm sorry that your child will be born in a terrible time and that your pregnancy will cause everyone around us to repeatedly inquire about your fetus's unformed genitals and refer to its concavity as 'gender' which frankly fucking pisses me off".

@memnus@octodon.social It did come within 6 weeks tho so.

@memnus@octodon.social

8/28: "Would you like your Glowforge now?"
9/27: "Your Glowforge is on its way!"

They sent the "on its way" e-mail after it has been shipped so the arrival date was 9/28, but I couldn't take that day off so had to pay UPS $10 to delay the shipment until 10/2.

So I'm on this queer Seattle Faceboop buy/sell/recommendations group, partially because it's actually sometimes helpful and partially because it's sometimes hilarious.

Like the time someone was asking for recs for a queer-friendly Catholic church and someone recommended the Unitarian church.

Yesterday's was the best though. Someone was looking for a non-binary/trans-inclusive a capella group and someone commented... the Seattle Men's Chorus.

Brain: It is finally fall time to stop wearing bright colors and go back to comfy goth mode.

Me: But it's like 80---

Brain: Scarves and leggings and socks and skirts with too many layers and---

Me: The sun is still---

Brain: NO WE MUST WEAR LAYERS OF BLACK

Me: Okay but I'm not wearing boots.

Brain: As long as your skirt is long enough so nobody notices.

Me: FINE.

I hope my friends get here soon so they can release me because this dress is kind of too tight and I am sore just shitposting stuff on Faceboop.
