when I see something dated 2019 I think âoh thatâs not too long agoâ and then I remember that 2019 was not only five years ago but those five years have somehow contained several lifetimes

Neil Gaimain about writing Good Omens with Terry Pratchett (x)
Neil: His line to me when we were writing âGood Omensâ, he would phone me up and heâd say, Iâve just done this and itâs made it 17% funnier. Iâd written this whole meeting between the International Express man and Pollution and Iâd mentioned that, you know, âhe and his wife went down there sometimes when they were courting to spoonâ and Terry added the line, âand on one memorable occason, fork.â
Rob: On one memorable occasion.
Neil:Â On one memorable occasion, and itâs made it 17% better. In fact, in that case it may have made it 100% better.

Logged in to my retirement plan account to make sure I'm not unknowingly investing in anything morally repugnant and man, all this information is basically gobbledygook.
#I really need to call the help line or whatever and be like ''I need you to explain all this to me like I'm an idiot.''#the account is through work so there's like... idk... support#but god#Rachel's life

âOk. Iâm gonna piss you off now man. Be smart. Donât push her. She takes time.â
3x18 - Fractures
Farscape + painful episodes
#re: prev - she couldn't even look at him you're right! but she also stood by him#backed him up#as it ripped her to pieces#again/differently than ~before~#they both reverted to their... default states#Aeryn locked everything the fuck down#tucked all her feelings away in a box and hid the key 'cause there was work to do#and John reached#reached out and shook the box and threw himself against it - subtly and unsubtly - because he needs people#he needs Aeryn#he smashed himself against the box hard enough to bruise because he knows what's in it#she retreated in and he charged out#her plan to keep from getting hurt again is to not allow anyone in or anything of herself out#and John's plan is to allow everything in and hold it tight#and therein lies the problem#Farscape#so much tense shifting in those tags...#oh well

When I was younger, I wish someone had told me straight-up that not all adults experience âa callingâ. That many of them never find particular purpose in a career. That sometimes, their job is just what pays the bills and they have to seek satisfaction and fulfillment elsewhere.Â
Because as an adult, this pervasive notion that there exists a perfect path for everyone, that people should love what they do, and that work is meant to function as a vehicle for fulfilling a personâs grand life destiny is not only inaccurate for many of us, it can be toxic.
The ideal is so ingrained that I have to remind myself constantly Iâm not a failure because I donât adore my job, and because Iâm not rocking the world with my work. That is okay.Â
Sometimes, work is just work. There isnât always a perfect career path, magically waiting to be discovered. There might not be this THING you were born to do. Sometimes, you discover that what you really want to be when you grow up is âpaidâ.
#yep!#I don't love my job!#it's fine!#I like my coworkers and I have a really good boss#I'm not doing harm and I have a regular paycheck and health insurance and PTO!#that's really enough for now#I don't have a dream job anymore#like what would that even look like? idk#and that's okay!
