What have you discovered today?

The dishwasher we ordered turned out to be too tall for the kitchen.

I mean, COME ON

@Rainflower Noooooooo! Though does your counter come over the edge a little like mine does? I had to lift the entire counter to get mine in, but it fit over once I had it in.

I remember when we bought the fridge my husband was about to send it back cause it didn't fit, and I had to start yelling at him and the installer that the back of the fridge was lower than the front and it fit fine... we still have it.

What I remembered today was the little like buttons on the bottom of the posts. I keep forgetting they exist!!

Problem is that we can't fo that without ripping up the entire kitchen surfaceluckly we're getting a new one, with help to istall it, but the guy we bought from didn't bring this with height up, so we feel a bit conned to be honest.

Sounds like quite a discussion you had. I hope it worked.

Stiletto snakes are wicked fast.

This is not my hook or my noodle.

They can also bite without opening their mouths.

Ghost snake!

They are just extra fangy.  They stick out of the sides of their mouth so they don't have to open to bite.  Cytotoxin at that.  



They're so cute, tho... Spicy noodle.

Okay... not sure if I can call it... just a bit cute?
And yet...

Fascinating for sure!

I discovered I don't like my job anymore

it's only sad when there's more cheer to you selling lots of stuff is more appreciated than that what you're making is looking good and appealing. The sale preassure is becoming so depressing. That's not what I applied for.

So I'm hoping to find another job at some point hopefully within next year. With a better boss too.

good luck for your job hunt!

Best of luck and fast success, Rainflower! I hope you'll find a job where your creativitiy is appreciated and you shine where you love.

Thank you guys I appreciate it!
I've actually been thinking this for a long time, and it's not just because of my boss, but out if the fact that I don't feel I belong in the sales buisness. I don't feel happy when I constantly have to be on alert to drag people in the store and offer one thing after the other to make sure they buy more. It's exhausting to think of ways to make people leave money and... besides, working with private actors like my boss doesn't secure me the same way as working in the public. She's constantly trying to press it so she's not using us more than nessesary because I'm more played than the extras. And then she uses me up at big events like Christmas and Valentine. It's not fair.

You sound very sure and aware of what is wrong for you, Rainflower. Now - what is good for you?

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?
