So I did an important, but with some frustrating strings attached and at a financial cost.
I asked for accommodations at work.
It is day six. I am brand new. But I guess I’ve made enough of a good impression because they were willing to ask questions and discuss.
We have sensory processing disorder (auDHD). They used to play music on a Bluetooth speaker, but since then they now don’t let us have music after we open (10:45a).
So the day before yesterday I decided fuck it and had an earbud in the whole shift. It made me functional, kept us grounded, and actually made me faster and more effective. No major burns, only dropped one thing instead of multiple...overall a better shift.
The shift lead that day just...didn’t care, because I was working & I was getting faster & more effective as the day went on.
I came in to work today already overstimmed, so I used an earbud again.
(I intentionally used an earbud in our right ear, which has about 10% hearing remaining after trauma (both blasted music and physical-harm trauma). I can’t really hear out of it anyway. And these are entirely wireless (Bluetooth), small earbuds, so not super obvious and customers won’t notice (and didn’t notice yesterday). It’s not a matter of the earbud being too obvious or physically dangerous.)
But this shift lead told me to take my earbud out, and that I wasn’t allowed to have music due to safety concerns.
I work in a kitchen on a hot grill, and need to hear safety announcements (hot, cold, corner, behind you, etc.) as well as line alerts (for food when they run low/out). I understand that I need to hear that, & it could be a safety concern for some people. But I noticed yesterday I heard them better and processed way easier with music. So I protested, told her I worked better with it, but she kept arguing & telling me to take it out.
I pulled her into the back so I could hear better (quieter) and think/talk easier, and explained that it’s for a disability (not ‘just because’), and that when I had it yesterday, music made me way more effective and faster—and also able to process better what people said to me, which improves my safety. I also admitted I was already overstimmed and don’t think I can work today without it.
She said they don’t allow earbuds/headphones due to safety concerns, but also said she’d talk to higher-up managers (inbetween/corporate) about making an exception, which...is more than I expected after having to argue for 10mins.
She checked the handbook but it said nothing, so she told me to sit out in the lobby and that she’d let our lower tier/closest corporate person call her back to discuss more. Luckily she didn’t make me clock out at this point, so I just sat down to wait.
15mins later she came back and said that the higher ups talked to their disability advocate (¿they have one??) and agreed to send me the paperwork to accommodate music on the line.
But that also means I was sent home and I can’t work the rest of this week...cutting me down to 13½ hours instead of 28¾, making this paycheck around 31½ hours instead of 47 total (I don’t get a full 2 week paycheck yet because pay period is next Friday and I just started). That cuts my paycheck by ~$250, when I’m already struggling to get by and desperately need to replace multiple things, feed myself, and feed my cat...and pay rent too.
I’ll give them a little credit: this is fast food, and this is the first job who even escalated questions and decided to send me paperwork to allow an accommodation, let alone on day 6.
But I am so stressed about the money loss and the process of getting this done.
However,,, this is also the first time I got the courage to ask for an exception/accommodation of any kind. Normally I let myself suffer and let my performance tank until they inevitably fire me or cut my hours to make me quit. So I did a good this time. It just...sucks that it basically has consequences. I’m not allowed to work until the paperwork is filed and approved.
This is all a part of the journey I guess. I finally have the self-respect to ask. But that also means waiting to be sent paperwork and to hear back whether they’re gonna make an exception or not (AKA whether I’m gonna collapse out of this job in 3 to 6 months or not, because this accommodation would make or break my ability to sustain/maintain working fast food again).
I am disabled. This body is disabled. I can’t really accommodate the physical disabilities as well (struggling to stand for long periods of time / chronic pain), but if I can at least accommodate the mental ones...that’s something.
(before anyone asks, explicitly stating these— referenced & implied disabilities here: D.I.D., ADHD + bipolar, autism, sensory processing disorder, POTS, & chronic pain // disabilities I’m asking for accommodations for: ADHD/autism (sensory processing delays/overstim), & probably also PTSD because I already had to tell them yesterday about that (not sure about D.I.D. yet; bipolar is medicated; physical stuff is nigh impossible in fast food).)
(I won’t/can’t say which corporation I now work for; I don’t want to get in trouble for posting about them on social media or have them accuse me of acting as a spokesperson when I’m not. Too risky.)

She woke to a shaft of golden light tickling her cheek and blinked against its glare drowsily. Without the ever-present crash of the sea in the distance, the quiet was deeper than she was used to and she was briefly suspended in a kind of languorous haze, placeless and peaceful. Then— Callebero’s wrist still caught in the ring of her hand; the earthy scent of vetiver from her bath; the glitter of gilt off the ceiling.

The fun thing about this scene is that Sirion fully walked into these two napping like they'd been loosely shaken out of a burlap sack and went "yeah that's fine"

no more centering men in feminism until the world unanimously agrees that women are people

I don't understand the concept of hate watching. Like, when I don't like someone or something, I just don't pay attention to them/it. I don't understand why that's a hard concept to follow.

Sometimes you just need to deep clean your home, finally put up the art you had packed away, and take a hot shower to feel less like a piece of shit

Have you heard of the anime ben-to? It would be a great au basically its ppl fighting with honor in a connivence store for half price bento boxes. They act like wolf packs.
I can see peach is a lone leader ruling over her stores
Gray her faithful scout
Plum accidentally got caught up in it after hitting a rough patch and is rivals with peach till she eventually joins peach’s pack
And then theirs poor unlucky kid who got caught in a fight and peach reluctantly teaches him how to survive so he doesn’t keep getting his ass kicked.
I did a brief google and laughed at the puny character types. Peach would dominate that fighting scene with her build. I have no idea how this idea came to be but i love and repsect it. Rei being the little unlucky kid who gets taught. Plum always being bratty and stroppy about following Peach but whats she going to do? Fight her? Peach offered her a place in her pack for her tenacity and sharp mind for strategy when she had nothing else. She owes her. Grey 'best boi' scout and negotiator, gets smooches in the store room for being such a good team member.

If I was in the In the Flesh universe I'd feel incredibly terrible about having killed any zombies, like the cure to the zombie virus in-universe literally allowed people who were dead before the outbreak to still remain alive and yet be cured, so any zombies you killed were a potential loved one that could have been returned with the cure but instead could not be because you killed them

For the first time in years, I am having fun again with Skyrim after I allowed it to become tainted and have a negative meaning to me.
I am no longer doing the campaign or doing any quest that seems remotely familiar to me and I wound up discovering an insect companion?? Potential Argonian companion?? Different storylines?? I have a horse that I did not buy from Whiterun for once?? I am actively doing crafting now and gathering shit, fast-travelling less and discovered areas I’ve never seen before and it’s NEAT.
I even installed some mods for the first time and got myself a cute as fuck little house off the beaten track nearby Ivarstead 👌

Not saying you should feel bad, just saying that for people who say they hate her so much, y’all seem to be thinking about her quite a bit.
Omg this is such a nothing burger of a conversation. People sent me anons (here on my greta account) about her and I talked about it, the best part of tumblr is that I can post about it (because it's mine). So yeah I don't like her, I can still talk about her?
