How do I ask for a raise and also how much of a raise is appropriate

#I make $14 an hour but minimum wage is $7.25 but I DO live in one of the poorest areas of America #however other similar jobs in my area pay $15-25 #I’ve been here almost a year #also I’ve been doing so much shit outside of my job duties. I’m not even talking about learning the other departments or helping them.#I mean like. floor machine repair. training new employees. training the goddamn reps for shits sake #I think a $1.00 isn’t too much to ask for and honestly I think $2.00 isn’t either. but #found out that a co worker who’s been at my job for SEVEN years and knows the goddamn store by HEART is only making 50c more than me #I guess they are a cashier and I’m a warehouse worker so for some reason it’s fair #I would give them a 25% raise at LEAST if I was in charge though #idk :/ I don’t wanna piss of my bosses lol. I have been doing badly about being on time lately too #but that’s cos health stuff so it’s not like I DONT care #and it doesn’t negate the fact that i do so much more than I’m supposed to do for $14 an hour #so far my strategy is: stop doing all the little stressful shit that no one notices anyways #it’s been so fun to do that for the past few days #I just watch a problem grow and grow and grow until it’s a big problem and then management deals with it #which I hate because management is also underpaid. but. so am I. and it’s not my job to take care of another department’s hazardous waste.#or to answer the phone for other departments. or to train reps. or care about the floor machine getting clogged.#i ignore problems now and then they get too big to ignore #and they take WAY more effort to fix than if I had taken care of them to start with #but goddamn we are so understaffed. I’m already being 2-3 people. I can’t be a manager too. as much as I’ve been trying to help. I gotta #stop because no one notices and I don’t get paid for that shit #sorenhoots #but I wanna take care of the stuff 3: I just need to get paid for it

it does something incomprehensible to my little writer’s soul whenever alex articulates a phenomenon of the writing process i’ve always picked up on and then goes on to describe it in exactly the same way

#when i first heard him say this when i was watching the interview i legit had to pause the video for a moment #because it was like he’d actually taken my words straight out of my mouth #literally for years i’ve been fascinated by the little timeless pocket between dusk and dawn where there’s so much freedom #to explore creativity uninhibited and unobserved and without fear of consequence #the way it allows you to create things almost as if they don’t really exist #or like the rest of the world doesn’t #and the magic of that freedom #like if you create things on the cusp of dreams it’s almost as if they don’t count #they’re liberated from any usual self doubt or self criticism that invades the imaginative space during the daylight #why am i making myself sound like a creative vampire 😭#i’m going to stop rambling in the tags now sorry #i fear absolutely none of this makes sense #kudos to anyone who’s read the whole way through this #the gist of what i’m trying to say is that it’s such a special feeling when someone whose writing you adore and connect to so much #puts into words elements of the process that have always resonated with you #and this is just one example too #right i’m going to stop rambling now #but one last thing before i go #on a more superficial note: can we appreciate how softly spoken and soft fluffy haired he is here?? 🥺#alex turner #humbug era #arctic monkeys #alex vid #lulu posts

So. We did shuttle runs outside & had the garage door open for working out today.

I live in Minneapolis. Minnesota. You know, the land of ice and snow? It’s January 29th and there’s no snow and we can work out outside. Normally there’s snow piles all around— no green or leaf covered grass.

This is fine.

#minneapolis #minnesota #uh #we’re fucked #climate change #climate crisis #this is not normal #I’ve been here almost 10 years and winters have gotten warmer #this cold snap was nothing.

the fact that I cannot simply quit my job. there’s plenty of food and space and skilled people in the world. things could function so much better with a tenth the labor if we were efficient about it. but we aren’t. and under capitalism I love my job - I am incredibly lucky to have it and even find it fulfilling in its way. but also I am disabled and my life would be 1000% easier if I just didn’t have to find miracle jobs to make what still comes to below poverty wages given how few hours I can manage. but even though the amount of money I make is play money to other people, it’s the only thing giving me dignity, both the dignity of privacy in spending and the false dignity of being a “productive member of society”. plus, like, I gotta eat and feed my cats, even if I’m currently rent free. but sometimes I think about the ways money and my job (and their relationship with my health) play as such large factors in my decision making and I just think, ideally, those would have less weight. ideally I could just quit my job and somehow still have money. not because I don’t love the work, but because of the limitations having to maintain both a work schedule and my fatigue put on me.

#timemachine wuz here #I do love my job though #like couldn’t ask for a better one. genuinely always anxious they’re gonna fire me even though they’ve given zero indication #and have always been really understanding and also complimentary #I think because I realize how much I enjoy the work compared to almost any job I’ve had #it just ticks so many boxes. and even the driving isn’t that bad (except when there’s snow but we are encouraged to call out #if we think it’s unsafe)#it’s just that at my level of fatigue. I feel like #ideally I wouldn’t need a job at all yk?#like on a straight financial level my job costs more than it’s worth #as in if I had 100k a year I would spend *more than my salary on a pill that eliminates my job’s impact on my health if such a pill existed #meaning like on some level I think my job isn’t objectively worth it #even though I think it is valuable work and I enjoy doing it and am able to maintain a remarkable work/life balance given its flexibility #relative to my level of disability #like pragmatically it’s an invaluable job that I love but idealistically i could just quit to write and play with my cats and clean the bat #idk I feel whiny

List of tumblr mobile grievances including but not limited to (feel free to add):

The tags button being moved in post editor and replaced with community labels which are disproportionately applied to trans women and the queer community in general

Previously used tags no longer appear when reblogging a post so I have to type them in manually (and hope I don’t accidentally misspell them)

Post button is no longer in the nav bar, but is floating nebulously to the side

Tumblr live

Tumblr live icon now permanently where the post button should be (with a permanent NEW bubble)

Unable to permanently snooze tumblr live

No play/pause button in full screen video player

No double tap to zoom in on picture. Videos and pictures now will scroll to unrelated posts if you accidentally flick up or are trying to zoom

Randomly redirecting to posts I reblogged while I’m on other tabs if someone likes or reblogs a post

Unable to click on URLs to redirect to specific reblogs on a post. Prev tags no longer works as a result

Blazed posts and ads (even undisclosed ads) showing up in search results making it harder to find what I’m searching for

While in full size media player, pressing “see more” to read the caption now takes you back to the post outside of the media player

Tumblr sponsored posts on my own blog that I did not post there

Implementing new UI changes without updating the app. I don’t have auto update so I can check the changes blog and see if it’s worth updating the app

Oopsies my hand slipped and I drew this

#FINALLY gave into the urges and drew them. sorry guys the mental illness won this time #tbf i’ve been deranged about this pairing for almost a year now i think i have a right to indulge myself after so long #GOD this is embarrassing to post. my sense of shame is too strong to be posting cringe art of my godawful ships even on here #if you hate me for drawing this don’t worry i’ll go die in a hole after posting this!!!#just kidding i’ll actually probably draw more even though i find it embarrassing #death note #death note fanart #mello #mihael keehl #soichiro yagami #soichiro x mello #mello x soichiro #soichello #<— some of you may want to filter those last three tags considering that i post about them semi regularly #if you don’t know how i’m pretty sure you just go settings —> account —> filtered tags and put in whatever tag you want to filter #chara’s art #first time drawing soichiro and i draw him at the most difficult angle possible. why did i do that to myself #i mean it’s not bad for my first attempt but he looks. thinner?? then i intended???#mello’s face looks off here but i had fun drawing him #anyways happy new years. i spent the last few days of last year and the first few hours of this year drawing this #what an amazing and productive way of spending that time #new years resolution is to go outside and touch grass #i can’t stop writing in the tags. i think it’s because i’m hesitating to post this lmao #oh my god whatever just shut up and hit post

I know being in love makes you say dramatic stuff and all that but I’m being dead serious right now. I’m gonna marry this guy

#having a moment here #my best friend of five years now my beloved #the past few weeks I’ve been bedridden with illness and he’s come over almost every day to take care of me #even during finals #cleaned my whole apartment while I was sick #including scrubbing the toliet and litter box #asked nothing in return #he is just a person brimming with love #and not just for me #now he’s calling me deeper into the faith #ughhh okay gushing over rn #let’s see if this one ever makes it out of the drafts #like any of the others #Mooky talks #for my beloved

series i’m gatekeeping from my family vs series i’m ✨ok✨ with my family knowing i’m into:

#‘why do you gatekeep hw from your irls?’ well. the thing is. i just ✨don’t want to✨#and. like. i’ve already led my family to believe that i bought bl manga when i was buying idol sengen at animate #so i think im already past the point of no return in that regard. so. um. yeah.#thank you village vanguard for the unexpected μ’s content in 2k24 you truly are yappa saikyou #i s w e a r falling back into my ll phase almost 10 whole years after i first got into it is unexpected tbh #compounded with the fact that i can now actually afford whatever im looking for. so. like. my wallet is in crisis lol #i had just reached my savings goal last month but now i’ve overspent bc i saw great deals on resold honoka-chan hoodies and i couldn’t help—#so now i have 2 identical hoodies lol. but i’ll keep one of them safe in its packaging bc im unwell like that ig #my merch whaling is out of control i s w e a r but my oshis are just too cute aaaaaaaaa #i probably should open another savings account instead… maybe that’d keep my spending under control…#b u t for now honoka-chan jersey im looking for you #tfw ur oshi is decently unpopular amongst the fans so hardly anyone resells her merch lmao #so ig the relatively fewer fellow fans she has are more dedicated to her than fans of other more popular characters lol #but at least her stuff (when resold) isn’t as overpriced as the actually popular members (birb and tomato)#so my wallet isn’t crying as hard as it could’ve been? ig? hunting for almost 10 year old merch is a pain fr though #either way. the grip idol series have on my wallet is truly insane #i wonder how many bags of chips i could’ve bought with the amount i’ve spent on hw and ll merch to date…#at least a thousand… i think. maybe even 2 thousand if my past gacha game whaling is taken into consideration…#…this is probably why it’s important to have a decent paying job ig.#oh well. at least i may be making b a n k this month with how much ot i’ve had to do this week so far…#i hope i won’t have to work till 5am again over the next 2 days… that had been a horrible experience.#help what am i even talking about anymore why am i having a life crisis right here and now u m.#anyways. dni if you dislike honoka-chan. thanks for coming to my crisis rant. see you when the last stage mv drops ig ok byeeeee

I started reading Lord of the Rings (bought Fellowship of the Ring like… last spring but never got around to starting) and I’d just like to say. Holy fuck what a slow book. You mean to tell me I’m over a hundred pages in and this man is only just leaving the Shire? Sign me up for MORE I love this shit. Tolkien said “I will take exactly as much time as I want to describe things and you will like it”. AND I DO
