Begging people to stop seeing skills like compassion, care, kindness, empathy, patience, and whatever else less as inborn identities, but rather as skills. Essentializing "goodness" to the degree that you identify as kind rather than doing kind is going to destroy your self-image, but also what you think is kind.

scrambled egg brain hours
I'm going to say that Clothar+Abyss Order and Kaeya's biological father do not have the same goal/plan in mind, and that the Caribert quest is there to misdirect our attention from a different revenge plot happening at the same time...

Manger in charge of a LOT of shit quit recently because he got a job offer that was
A) 3x his original salary, and
B) involved far less responsibility
I had worked as his subordinate last year, so naturally the head honchos asked me take over what he was doing. Not with the title, but with the “promise” that we can visit that discussion in eight months depending on my performance (yeah okay /s).
Key note: I had received a similar promise for a different manager position. (No followup mention of that promise + no significant training provided to move me towards that position) * 7 months = empty promise. Alright cool.
One month in. Not getting too much guidance (expected), told I’m doing good and need to value myself higher.
Okay. Bet.
Asked for a raise in recognition of increased responsibilities beyond my current job description, quality of work, pay scale of the position (i’m at the bottom), etc. You know, hard facts that cannot be influenced by subjective feelings of importance or relevance.
Oh let’s not forget part of the raise was the annual raise that the HR manager promised ALWAYS happens but I have not received since my annual review four months ago. That I told the HR manager about two months ago but never heard anything back on. So there was a reminder of that, as well.
Told (to my face) that I’m entitled, don’t work hard enough, issued an ultimatum (literally didn’t make any sort of threat but okay), used the owner’s words against him (literally just quoted him on something he told me about pay when I was first hired but okay), they threatened that they could easily go out and find an external hire to take on in the role I’m being “trained” for, and asked if I REALLY think any other place would hire me. Among other “”feedback.””
Okay. Okay okay okay okay. I see how they view me now. Good to know. I learned quite a few things from this conversation and I think some of those things may surprise them.

i've sent some pathetic anons about being in love with my friend n stuff before, but i tried not to reveal too much... but now it's whatever really, she's not even on tumblr and i gotta vent to someone. anyways. maybe i've been reading too much fanfiction but i swear to GOD the way she smiles at me has got to mean SOMETHING. or maybe not. also she's a lesbian and i may be afab but i am not a girl (nonbinary) and my last relationship (with a straight guy) ended partially because i was, yeah, not a girl. so i'm nervous she might not like me back. ough... also i just got out of said relationship IDK IF I'M READY to ask her out! i keep telling myself i don't want anything serious yet but at the same time i dreamt i was kissing her last night oh my god. but i also gush about my celebrity crush to her all the time so idk if she thinks i'm not interested in anyone other than him? because my last partner got really jealous of my celebrity crush. but he was also crazy in the head lol. (also i know another anon said your commentary was annoying but help is very much appreciated here)
