What have you discovered today?

Well I think we saw this coming, since the most posts you made concerns ranting about this shitty job of yours. I have the impresson that it eats you up and that there is not much room for good things in yout life (I hope it`s not that way). It`s about time that you have the possiblilty to live and share stuff that is more nice for you.

@Embala I am 100% certain that I need a job with colleagues that doesn't just appear on your shift because your boss wanna save money on having only one on work at the time. Working with several people is do much more stimulating.
And in time I've come to realise that I wanna turn towards the health sector at some point. I don't know what direction yet, but I'll figure it out.
I sort of like the creative part of my job, but I don't need to be creative at work, I can save that for freetime. There's a difference between living for something and making something your living.

@Yeee I know, I've been ranting too much about my job, so it's no surprise
But you're right. And I've known it for too long, but it hasn't been that easy to just quit. It's gonna be a little easier now that I'm moving in with Boi and he's being 100% supportive about it. And he's definitely making my daily life easier about my job, but he too has seen my job draining me.
And it has. I've been having this feeling that it will never be good enough, that boss will always demand more and never get satisfied. That's her motto, we can always get better.

And you guys really helps tooThank you so much, both for surviving my complaints and backing up.

heh heh we will survive a little bit longer-no worries.
Hey, you can rant as much as you wish, I didn`t want to stop you-go on ranting , it is a necessary outlet for your frustration(As we say it in Germany: "ein notwendiges Ventil für den Frust" (again so much Denglish)
So good that you have your "boi"

Sounds familiar. I love to be creative and was a "crafts person" and hobbyist as long as I can think back. And as a teen I've decided to "make my living" with something completely differnt - whatever has no connection to my hobbies. Ended up in a bankhouse - no bank advisor but auditor and organisator. ^^

That's an essential part of what the Scroll always was and what Kin's Fathertree Halt was made for.

You know, I actually once in the past had a dream of my own workshop where I fixed furniture a d painted for sale.
But I realize now many years later that turning your passion into your income isn't always a good idea. You'll risk loosing your passion for it.

Mom wanted me to get a flower shop on my own once, but if I did that, I bet I would have to do this non-stop thinking and worrying for income and things like that.
Mom means well, but I know now what's best for me.

In the Corona period I kept thinking about those health staff and caretakers all over, and I found myself wishing to be one of those. They did their best taking care of the suffering people and gave their time, and while there were people voluntary helped out, i was stuck at the flowershop that had to put people on permite to keep things going.

Sorry, here I am ranting again

THIS was exactly the reason for my personal decision, Rainflower. Keeping my hobby FUN.

We're better off living double lives

Growing up I used to cook ramen, then drain the water THEN put on the powder, cooking 3:30....

Last few years I've been putting the powder in with the water and cooking it for 3:30

Today I put the powder on the dry ramen, then added water, cooked it for 4:00. without draining....

AMAZING! So good!

Are you talking actual Ramen or just the noodles?

Ramen noodles... realized after I posted that I didn't make it clear, eek. Plus the time is on the microwave.

I'm embarrassed to say I've never actually tasted through Ramen noodles.
I wanna try

That if I quit in the store, they might not make it another year.

I was by my college told that we're not that well economical, and I haveva feeling my boss might not manage to find a replacement that's not educated. In time I guess she could, but the big issue is that now at days it's hard to find someone who's NOT a student worker.

However, she has made it hard for us. Now at days she's mostly on repeated vacation. I know she's practically retired, but she's still responsible for her employers.

Well, not exactly today, but the other day I sort of realised that I hadn't really paid much attention to who is gonna play the 14th Doctor, though I did vaguely recall something about a black guy.
So, I went and looked it up and... he's younger than I am!
Gave me a bit of an existential crisis.

I wasn't against having a female doctor.
I was just dissapointed she looked so normal.
I wish they had picked a more quirky looking one.

Not sure what to think about the 14th though...

I'm sooo quitting in the flower shop before December!

I can't stand the thought of working another Christmas there
Or Mother's Day and Valentine

*hugs and holds*

Just learned these existed!

I found out these little buggers are infesting the downtown river... I've actually seen them before and thought someone dropped a candy covered ball, but it was a snail covered in eggs, YUCK!! Glad I didn't pick it up.

cool!

Wow

That series now at days are both really creative, and not so creative when it comes to using flowers to create something unique in environments.
In Star Wars new series Andor, they're using a red flower called protea in a flower arrangement, and in Rings of Power, the harfoots are using a unique form of artichoke flower as food.
Funny thing is, we've had both these flowers in the shop, but if you're not familiar with them, you won't recognize them.

Mosquito bites om my throat.
In October?🤯

Oh no! I hope you are ok...that you will heal fast and that they will leave you alone next time!

Thanks, @Prayer

I just wonder where they came from?
I mean, wrong time of year!

I asked this myself this year, too. Moreover the wasps were especially aggressive this year. It was the first time a wasp stung me...for no reason. I was watching my 7-year-old son play soccer with his team. The moment I saw her on my arm it already stung me. It hurt but fortunately I am not allergic.
