2025-01-19 02:37What a mish-mash this post is about to be.
Do you guys make sure you respond to every comment you get on your fics, on AO3? I logged in for the first time in awhile, went to my dash, and noticed the number on my inbox. I literally never check my inbox and notifs are spotty, but there's lots of comments people have left on my fics that I hadn't addressed, some from like a year ago. I feel bad for not acknowledging peoples' compliments, so I went through and answered some, but not all.
I caught wind of a new product I will absolutely be on the hunt for, starting NOW: red velvet Reese's. Hooooooooo is that relevant to my interests. I'm going to buy ten. No, twenty.
I've been listening to Spotify a lot lately, which might seem like a weirdly random and mundane thing to talk about, but for some reason I just usually don't and then I'm really disappointed in my lackluster Spotify Wrapped at the end of the year haha. I want to feed it lots of yummy plays so I can get some interesting stats, man! Anyone got some music recs? Genre doesn't matter.
Day 600873666 of trying to find a work from home job I can actually do, that doesn't require me to be an expert in coding or data analysis. Fail fail fail. I won't be able to do massage (legally) anymore when I move to Wisconsin, since my license is only for California. I could do something else, of course, but honestly I feel like with snow and ice everywhere for several months out of the year and lots of rain for even more than that, a work from home job really would be a huge boon to this Southern Californian transplant. I'll keep trying. Barring that, the local healthcare system has a pretty rad program within one of its local facilities where they will pay you to learn on the job rather than doing a traditional course, and I'm pretty interested in it. I had thought of maybe being a pharmacy tech once upon a time but if I took a course here in California it'd take me like a year and cost me thousands. Could be a wonderful new adventure, and a good career shift.
I have to be real, this TikTok fiasco is sort of grating on my nerves. I don't use the app and never have, but a lot of friends of mine became absolutely consumed to the point that one of them has had to start seeing a therapist for honest to god addiction to it. Because of this and the rampant false information and bad advice being spread by TikTok influencers that has even managed to impact me at my job a time or two, it's put a bad taste in my mouth. As far as I'm concerned it's good riddance, except 1) I know a lot of people actually depend on it for a variety of reasons, and so I feel bad for people who would lose their emotional support app and/or source of income, and 2) I would bet my next paycheck that it will be back within a week anyway, which seems pretty obvious to me.
I remember saying, very optimistically, that I wanted to better keep record of what I'm reading and watching on a weekly basis and, whoops, January's almost over.
Finished season 2 of Squid Game and have been watching What If...? and finishing up Star Wars: Skeleton Crew. Only good things to say all around.
