@Totalanimefan: It's cute, for sure, but not my favorite, mostly because i already dislike puzzles on the computer, and because that one just makes it more difficult the higher the difficulty because of the same colors in large sections.

Yeah, it's one of my favorite meals. We were going to have it this year for St. Patty's, but we weren't able to afford it, so now we're able to i decided it was time to make it lol
@Totalanimefan: i actually really don't like that one or the one with the guinea pig. too many of the same colors.

I'm making corned beef and cabbage. I need to go make a slurry of cornstarch and add it in though because i want the broth to be a little thicker, kind of like a stew.

I've been making dinner all day in the instant pot (on slow cook), and it smells SO good.... I've been really appreciating the higher food budget that came with the new job lol
@Totalanimefan: 75 is too muich when you're in a room with 2 PCs though, plus Tyi and i are bigger people so we procuce a lot of body heat.

They have different trainers so it's not quite so many people at once. Usually a training class is anywhere from 25-35 people, and i know there's at least 3 different trainers for the 75 new hires right now too.

Yeah, like... there's literally only one that i am willing to do over and over, and that's the one with the pheonix and Voltra's other two mascots in winter, but even then it's not something i really particularly enjoy.

Also good job!!!
@Totalanimefan: right now it's at 76 cause i guess Tyi got hot in the past hour, but it was 78 before he touched it. I'll be turning it back to 78 at 9pm though because that's when MIL gets off work.

Yeah, the training is pretty simplified and is actually not too bad. We'd get split up in the last week and put with current agents to listen to them take calls/ to get a feel of what the system was really like. But it was an easy job so it was fine with the bigger training classes.

Yeah, the puzzles don't give much unless you do the last two difficulty levels. It's made me rediscover how much i hate puzzles on computers. They drive me crazy.
@Totalanimefan: i'm fine, just tired and warm. it's gonna be so nice when my mother in law moves out... As long as she moves out before august i think i'll be ok because august is the hotttest and i will be turning the Air down to 74-75, regardless of how much it costs.

Yeah, it's a big company though. Even when it wasn't work at home new training classes had at least 30 people in them and there was usually at least 3 classes at a time

@The I: a lot of my friends stopped being active in like 2011 or so, and i went to Menewsha and felt at home there, but Menewsha basically died in 2017, shortly after i stopped being online as much due to lack of a computer. so when i found an old laptop i had in storage earlier this year, i went on and found out that that site is basically doomed and that there were some people from there that are on here, Such as Ruby. I find that Gaia is either too disorganized in the forums for my liking, or the user base is directed at a younger audience. Also the Avatar styles are way different and i like Voltra's style more.
@Totalanimefan: Yeah, that's true. But with this kind of job there's at least 75 other new people lol But i think starting any new job can be stressful. I think that's part of why i had a headache last night... and apparently why i'm getting one now. I just took some more ibuprofen, so hopefully that will help. It's not too bad right now, but i'm sure if i wait it will get worse and i don't want it to turn into a migraine.
@Wildfire: very tired. I'm adjusting to a new work schedule that still might be different from what i'm adjusting to. I won't know for a bit though.

@totalanimefan: Yeah. It's also nice to be able to have a couple easy first days anyways. I can be as tired as i need to lol I might take a nap in a bit but i'm not sure yet.
@Totalanimefan: They'll let me know, i just have to be patient lol

@wildfire: hey!
