#and drive into the city on top of that
Text
you would not believe the job listings indeed.com is recommending to me. for $14 an hour....
#assistant manager of the bougie overpriced garden center#they want an outgoing people person who can think on their feet solve problems be likeable and manage disputes between workers.....for $14#be likeable is literally in the job listing 🤣#also a bunch of other stuff that sounds like a hassle. for $14.....#mcdonalds pays more than that be serious 😭#for $14 i will water plants i will not make management decisions and solve problems and mediate interpersonal conflicts AND be likeable#and drive into the city on top of that#but i do suspect that the job i applied for at their greenhouse 3 min from me does not exist and they will call back and offer me this one#and i rlly dont want to be turning down jobs#like i would take 14 an hour and the annoying job if i cant find anything better but the commute on top of that ugh#i kind of expected them to offer 14 for the job i actually want but its not a management job so i get that#but literally this job only requires high school or ged and i went to school for this so i would like to be paid more at least#anyway. my dad literally told me to ask for $20 an hour when i applied#he thinks they will offer the actual job i want for $17 but i am. doubtful lol#anyway i dont want to do the evil retail job i want to actually grow the plants in the greenhouse with my silly little degree#i would do it for less than $14 as long as be likeable isn't in the literal job description#anyway job searching is so bad#i found the garden center assistant manager position by searching indeed.com the most functional website for florist jobs#and it was the only result#but i wanted florist jobs at local grocery stores bc that actually is a not terrible job that pays all right if u can find it#not quite in my immediate field but i am qualified for it i have a floral design certificate and everything#but alas#looks like none of the grocery stores are hiring#this has been a shitpost#all the other garden center jobs are offering $16-22 but in a town i dont want to drive to lol#and im not in the middle of nowhere or anything#its a small town but it's right next to two of the biggest cities in the state#and the $14 an hour job is in one of those cities

What is a girl to do if she’s bad at driving but driving is literally relaxing to her
#i just wanna drive around all night long w the aux on full blast#the other day I intentionally chose a restaurant that’s pretty far legit just bc I wanna drive and I don’t wanna be still#productive? no. good for my innate restlessness? yes.#I’m ab to head to the library to study for hours but I’m so tempted to just drive around and peep the city lights#i have two wolves inside me. one of them wants to be top of the class / on top of research / at the gym / just full on go getter#the other wants to go drive around and daydream ab scenarios. the eternal struggle#p

its so silly but i just keep thinking abt being in norway and seeing for the first time kinda ever that like governments can do things to make peoples life better. for no other reason but just to improve things. like im sure norway has lots of problems i didnt see on a trip but i cannot stress how insane it was that the government had done things because it would be nice. to take care of people. ?????
#tour guide like yeah the minimum wage is decent here its 220 NOK (roughly ovr $22) but its not perfect and literally evryone in our group#being like $22??!?!?!???!?!!? MINIMUM!??!??!!?#i keep thinking about taking the bus and trams in oslo :( and abt walking IN THE STREET in bergen wjthout getting run over#or the restaurant on top of the bergen funiculr mountain getting state owned this year bc it was mismanaged ans going under but#everyone would like there to be a restaurant there so the government just decided to make sure there would be one????#instead ofbjust letting it die???#or ALL THE OIL AND POWER BEING STATE OWNED. HELLO?#its just insane idk. that things can for real be different. where i am theres a revolutionary amt of public teansport for a not huge city#but its still basically one bus and then the slowest most fucked up train in the whole world (40min drive = 2.5 hours by train)#assuming uh thw train doesnt get stuck again lol#it mostly exists to take mormon missionaries to the airport i think lol.#the 'walkable' old town section still has 4 and 6 lane roads you have to cross every block.#i dont know its just... its. augh!!!!!!!!#birdenest#we told one guy the minimum wage for waitstaff was about 21 NOK and he didnt believe us and got upset that we were lying

Ok fuck it you know something I've never really quite understood about part of the Leftist vs Liberals debate on voting.
So so so many people act like its either-or. Like you're either dedicating your entire life to voting and promoting politicians and phone banking or whatever, or you're a True Rebel waiting for The Uprising to Come and Solve Everything.
But like. In my experience. Me voting is just me kinda go 'which person seems kinda good? Which one at least sucks the least? ok lemme go vote.' and then its anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour tops of my life. And I still have plenty of time to do Stuff and participate in Conversations about Other Important Things. And also you can admit and acknowledge and understand that the system As Is kinda sorta really sucks ass, but also still admit and acknowledge and understand that at this current point in time we are still living in the suckass system and do something to alleviate the suckass At Least A Little while also working to bolster/create/advocate for Other Systems.
I guess just like. it's not a black or white thing. Between 'top 500 volunteers for a specific politician/voting office/etc' and 'absolutely positively not voting at all' there is a gray area called 'vote and then just do other stuff'.
#out of queue#ani rambles#ani rant#now hang on its time to acknowledge my Privilege(TM)#the first few times I ever voted for anything I was in college and the student center was a voting center#so asides from waiting in a long (~30 minute tops bc early vote) line to get in I didn't have to do a big drive or anything#and at my house there's a voting center thats a like 5 minute drive from my place or a 10 minute drive depending on what election it is#and im ablebodied and have a open (read: jobless) schedule so I can Just Go for the most part#i live in a City so there's probs lots of voting centers at churches and libraries and all across town too#but like. some people act like people saying Hey Go Vote Plz are screaming like#'if you don't donate 200 dollars and 4+ weeks of your time to canvassing and calling and volunteering you are RUINING AMERICA'#when at least from what I've seen its just like. 'can you maybe go fill in a bubble on a Scantron so people like me don't Die Faster.'#also there's early voting and mail-in voting and all that jazz like yeah the current system makes it harder to vote but theres still W AYS#you don't gotta pull up at 6am on Election Day Tuesday yknow?#if i get blasted for this remember as I was: happy and rambling at 3am about greenhouses and solarpunk stuff#plz be nice i beg k bye

People will ask "why did lestat buy the Fairplay for louis? Does show!Louis not have his own money" as if 1: either Tom Anderson or the other one would sell it to him outright (they literally gave him horrific terms for a business deal in ep 1 because they wanted to take him down a peg) or 2: Lestat doesnt explicitly love spending money on Louis and what he wants
#louis has his own money he just want yo money#like i want us to remember. louis inherented a plantation. he sent his sister around europe all first class paid as a wedding gift#and didn't even blink! treated it like a stand mixer or some shit like#louis is rich. he drives a drop top car as a black man in 1910#he regularly hangs out with the richest people in the city and he pays bills on his house and his mama house and his kid!!#he got it like that#the only thing keeping him from doing what he wants is racism catholic guilt and being an eldest child in a conservative black household#iwtv#interview with the vampire#louis de pointe du lac#ldpdl#loustat#iwtv 2022#amc iwtv#even outside of louis having his own money lestat in canon loves spoiling louis and buys him whatever!#lestat literally says he can't say no to him in ep 2 like he love that man#lestats love language is balling out

i don't wanna take over the world, it sounds like a lot. but you know, laying siege to a golf course sounds really nice sometimes
#just me hi#i'm giggling thinking about it hfbvhs#you can use the sandbanks for cover and if you plan far enough ahead you can start farming around those little ponds#and you can steal golf balls :D and use them as currency ?? or just collect them :3#and you could use the tennis ball guns to shoot the balls at people of course!! and you're supplied with sticks when you get there !! free#weaponry !! :D#and if you can hold out for long enough you could start planting rose and blackberry bushes in places they wouldn't look#why? bc roses Always Come Back#and blackberries will take a minute but who can get mad at a blackberry bush !! nature's surprise :D#oh and of course you could have a noble steed too (golf cart) !! :DD#and you could make the building a castle#and make a little gnome town in the fields once the battle is over#OH you could build a miniature golf in and around the town too :D for the funsies#/places are very cool i like places#could some be used better? oh yea for sure#i have dreams for abandoned malls hfvbs - some of my favorite places ever#that's one big odd thing i want. to have a mall to live in hfhs :3#is it a lot of space ? ye. but it's also SOO much space.. the possibilities !!#//anyway i Need to go for a walk in a city sometime soon lol#i miss the riverwalk aaa#GASP campus martius during the winter. my dearest#i didn't realize the threshold for being a city was so low lmao ?? like man these are just big towns what is this hfvbsh#//but aside from the city pining MAN#i got to drive earlier today ('got to' they put me in the seat and it wasn't very fun hfvbshf) and oooohhh#you know that feeling on a roadtrip when it's all worth it for just a little while.maybe when you broke over the top of a hill or looked up#from whatever you were doing to find a storm ahead and the rear lights of the cars seemed to blink in agreement with how gorgeous it all is#just that hfbsh :3#i like places a lot. sobs [<- crying candy hearts]#//okey i'm goin to go do my somethings now hfvhs :3 :D#music and caffeine are SO good ehehhehghhg [slinkies away so fast]

Vacay In The Outlands
The start of Grandpa's vacation in the Outlands. (Just for the record, she hates this dress. I made her wear it though.) It took many attempts to traverse the fence to get on top of the checkpoint, fell off a bunch of times but we finally made it across the border.
Travel tip - Make sure you have plenty of eddies! Vehicle insurance is ridiculous out here!
After the border checkpoint, we arrived at Langley in style and all V got as a souvenir was posing with this stupid giant coin.
Turns out that metaphorical void I kept talking about in my fic is actually real! Right underneath NC, who knew? Wonder where it goes. Wonder if it'll eventually just consume Night City.
Made it to the very scenic town of Yucca (where you start out as a nomad). Construction standards in this place are even worse than in the city.
Grandpa went skinny dipping in Star Lake and Laguna Bend Reservoir. Refreshing but bring your decontamination gear. Got some really nice candid photos at Star Lake.
Saw many strange and alien sights in the Outlands. The work of aliens? Or perhaps the technonecromancers? Perhaps tyromancers with computers?
Climbed the crane across the canyon and got a bird's eye view where they filmed Hell Lake 3. After enjoying the view it was time to head out though.
Said farewell to an old friend along the way.
The fortress Grandpa stumbled across was not conquerable. She tried. The wall was too high to parkour over, even with a makeshift step stool.
Is that how baby trucks are made???
Grandpa trekked far and wide across the map and eventually made it to the Oil Fields.
Also found out why the area has a million EPA violations.
Grandpa took a moment to enjoy the view at the end of the road and the last peaceful moments of her weird vacation.
Back to Night City! (To find some AC and change out of that stupid pink dress.)
#cyberpunk 2077#virtual photography#night city streets#environmental shots#vacay in the outlands#the outlands#oc: valerie hye jin li#my grandpa v#stinky not fresh#thorton mackinaw demiurge#highly recommend a trip to the outlands#bit of a long drive with not much to see in some sections plus the roads are terrible#but the sights we did see were very interesting#from the top#console shots

I'm rereading the aliens arc and I think the funniest detail about reigen's driving inexperience is that he hasn't driven in ten years. he's 28. the legal driving age in japan is 18. which means he got his license, and then proceeded to never use it
#he's just like me fr#<- hates driving#I mean I don't blame him. it seems like seasoning city has p good public transit#and a train system that he's very familiar with#he can clearly get around without a car in every situation except taking kids to the top of a mountain to summon aliens

#OH BOY#so i finally called grandma and told her i lost my job#i have been putting this off bc of the shame and once you tell one member of my italian side the entIRE FAMILY knows#But she managed to hit me back with even worse news#A family member has bone cancer and it sounds bad#Like my grandma callyerdogs off started refusing food at the very end of the cancer#And it sounds like he's starting to do that#Everybody is spending entire days in the hospital it sounds very much like with what was happening with grandpa#i dont want to go into details#Anyway on top of this my childhood bff is getting married in atlanta at the end of august#So i was going to visit grandma at the same time#And now she's being like no no no theres no need to come and im like GRANDMA PLEASE lol ;_;#And by lol i mean just for once could my family not be so fucking stubbornly self reliant im crying and begging over here#The tentative plan is to fly to pittsburgh after atlanta instead and stay with my dance buddy#and then i can be like look grandma im already here its a four hour drive i will see you in four hours#and stay for as long as they let me and then fly back from the burgh#But needless to say this is all a mess and i need to make actual plans SOON#:(#Im looking up flights the cheapest way would be to book a round trip ticket LA to atlanta and then a round trip atlanta to the burgh#Is this a bad idea? Does anyone else have experience doing this? Like for an extra 500$ i could do a three city ticket but that seems silly#I guess the problem would be if a flight got canceled or delayed but if i get travelers insurance for the flights#thats probably still less than the 500+ extra it would cost to do a three city trip#The other option is driving from georgia to the burgh which ive done once when going to florida with chezzy and family#So i know its a 13ish? Hour drive but i also know i can do it lol#I think the gas + car rental would cost more than the flight tbh#But i also love road trips
