@Totalanimefan: I actually got turned down for a job because i had a second job. I think it's a little ridiculous, if you ask me. If you're able and willing to balance 2 jobs, then your jobs shouldn't get pissy about it.

@Totalanimefan: Yeah. My first job is basically just checking in on my sibling and making sure that they're safe and keeping their apartment tidy between mom's visits. And since my hours for that are night time, i get to sleep too if i want. So it doesn't interfere with me having another job during the day. I get paid like 10 an hour from that job, and this job is paying 15 an hour. I just have to watch how many hours i work at both jobs in a day because of the program my sibling is on that pays me. So if i have OT at the new job, i have to take away hours with my sibling. Higher paying job's OT rates are higher priority than my job with my sibling (since most of that time with them, they're sleeping.) cause money.
@totalanimefan: Also, i prefer night shifts, or evening shifts, since i'm a night person. I don't do well in the sun or heat, so it's easier for me to be up at night/late afternoon.

Just got an email from work- i start at 10 am tomorrow, which is a little better than yesterday's 9am lol
@Totalanimefan: Hubby doesn't work. We don't really see a need for him to work since i have 2 jobs (one i don't really have to do much and can sleep during). He has really bad anxiety when it comes to working, or even just job hunting. He's really hard on himself when it comes to failure, and any rejections he gets his brain considers those failures, and if he doesn't preform well at work if he even gets a job, his brain goes into overdrive and he gets depressed. So he gets anxious about underperforming because he doesn't want to get depressed. Because he knows that once he gets depressed it's a vicious cycle of depression causing him to be less motivated which causes him to underperform, which causes him to get depressed. rinse, repeat. Besides, i can cover all of our bills and debt with the new job's income alone, and i'm not losing my first job, so that's basically free money for us to save or put towards our debt or to buy things we really want.
@Totalanimefan: Yeah, i can join the Discord server we have. It's possible that i'm put on a 2:30-11 pm shift, which if that's the case on fridays i'd just miss DND entirely because it's 7-11pm on fridays. So i'm hoping for either fridays off with the 2:P30-11 shift (cause that's my preferred work hours anyways) or to be off by 6 or 7 at the latest. Because if i'm off at 7 then at least i'll be able to be a little late to DND, which isn't a big deal cause everyone's late usually lol
@Totalanimefan: Yeah. Hopefully i'll still have weekends off after training, or at least fridays. It would be really nice to have fridays off for dnd. I decided not to ask the group to reschedule if i can't go, because I don't wanna inconvenience anyone, and Tyi will still be able to go.
@Totalanimefan: Tomorrow, But they haven't sent an email yet with the Zoom meeting info, so i really am not sure what time. I'm hoping it's not as early as yesterday, because that would be nice. But at least trainers only work monday to fridays, so i'll have the weekend off.
@KittyBeary: i love your avatar! Reminds me of Kiki's Delivery Service!
@Totalanimefan: I have today off so i slept in lol I just Woke up
@Totalanimefan: Good night!! Talk to you tomorrow!
@Totalanimefan: It's okay, i'm just glad we only have like a month left to deal with it and then she's moving to the grandparent's house. That will be nice. Tyi and i are going to spend my days off helping Gramps move and throw away some stuff so the process is faster lol

I just finished the last of my corned beef and there was a bunch of the spices left at the bottom of my bowl and that's probably one of my favorite bites lol I really like the Cardamom and the texture it has when it's been cooked lol
@Totalanimefan: It's obnoxious. And she didn't say anything to me about it either, Tyi went out to talk to her when she got home because before she got home i had started getting anxious about her complaining about me using her instant pot (i was right, btw, she did complain). So I'm listening to the conversation and she's just complaining about it/me and doesn't actually say anything to me. I'm just so over it at this point, but my anxiety isn't. So now i'm feeling super anxious about just going out there and cleaning up the instant pot, so i'm just.... not, yet. I might try and have Tyi do it... maybe.
@Totalanimefan: Yeah, i think it's like minimum of 1 cup or something for the pressure cooking function. MIL got home and immediately started complaining about stuff again 🙄 Apparently, i don't clean the kitchen well enough (i do, she's just ridiculously nitpicky).
