Posted in Trying to sneak around at 5am Posted 3 years ago


I mean not really sneak, husband knows I got up cause I couldn't fall back to sleep.
But like
trying to let HIM sleep, so I just quietly make tea and sit at my spot
but at every turn my cat is like
HI

HEY

LOOK I FOUND A ROLLY POLY

And I'm just like girl shhhhhhhhhhhh
Then she starts playing with her toys as loudly as possible

:vanora_xd:
Goodness child
Now she's squeaking


This isn't a very constructive thread, so show me your cats if you have any

@Totalanimefan:
lmao gosh my cat insists on laying on my keyboard when I have a whole L-shaped desk for her to cuddle up on when she wants to sit with me!
Even a split kb probably wont stop her :vanora_xd:
But I recently got a keypad that came with a new drawing tablet. It has buttons on it like a kb, so I can trick her into laying on that if I stick it right up against my actual kb lmaoo ridiculous.

anyway, tell your husband thank you for me :D
thankfully we're almost done with the student loans. The main thing is the car, but I'm forecasting I should absolutely have that paid off by the end of next year. Hopefully sooner, if these darn medical bills could stop being chunky lol

Is there a customer or coworker/manager that invades your dreams sometimes because they have become SUCH a thorn in your side, you feel at wit's end? Are you not paid enough to put up with all the bs?

Come, let me pour you some soothing plum honey tea.
I'll hand you my cat for you to cuddle

Tell me all about it.


I made this thread because I'm up at 5am giving up on sleep from work anxieties.
I have two horror customers that keep harassing me and I haven't seen both of them in a while. Suddenly I had a dream about it the other night and I said something to my manager like "Geez I have a feeling I'm gonna see [insert customer name] soon" and then the very next day (yesterday) they came in and gave me hell. My manager snipped at me like "you manifested iiiiit!" :vanora_xd:
but
GOD
the entitlement of this woman
of many people
who think they are above all others, deserve everything in the world for free, will step on me and my delivery associates for 8 months straight if it means she get an endless stream of freeeeeeeeee mattresses. This has been firmly cut off by me, so I'm her enemy now lol just anticipating if she's tech-y enough to write us a hot sheet.

Oh yeah, and my store manager (different manager) stole a customer from me again. So I'm p mad this weekend~



Anyway, yall can share your stories, struggles, and I"ll probably pop in and out to vent about my own as well.
I know a rant thread exists already, I suppose this is more work-specific where I wanna converse with each one and try to lift each other up o/
or just moan and groan together in unison cause jobs stink

@Totalanimefan:
yeah, makes sense. i think i make way more use of my right hand typing than my left, so splitting would be a funny thing to try and learn :vanora_xd: i bet it's comfy after adapting though?
maybe ill try it haha

but yeah, i mean is not terrrrible. once we knock out student loans and car payments, I'll be able to go all out on things like this! if i stop receiving medical bills

Posted in I spoiled myself again Posted 3 years ago


@Totalanimefan:
ooohh, is it normal for them to be split in half this way? I know there are keyboards that are designed to be in two pieces, not sure if thats the purpose with these xd
but i only glanced at the sites since I'm at work again. very fun to think about! i probably wouldn't try it for a while just due to cost, but still fun to think about :D

@Totalanimefan:
ohhh yes, if he does, have him ping me in the post! i love reading into hobbies ♡
the act of creating anything is real exciting to me
except babies

@Kawaii Neko Teaa:
Yeah! I have very little time for it these days, but I try my best to keep drawing :')

Oh thats fun! I used to have light sabers but I left them with an ex when I moved out, cause he appreciated them more than I xD
I just made sure to keep my zelda sword lmao
But yeah, I could definitely agree the spinoffs can offer more into the world building! I've gotten a little into clone wars in the past, but never finished (if its even complete)

Posted in I spoiled myself again Posted 3 years ago


@Totalanimefan:
:vanora_heart:
I didn't even THINK of building my own kb! That would be so much funnnn!
I would love to eventually get out of all these black devices (I'd give this one to my husband cause it'd match his desk better) but that will probably something I do wayyy later, after all these bills get smaller xD

Posted in May the 4th be with you! Always! Posted 3 years ago


@Kawaii Neko Teaa:
Ohh well you have more excuse than I do. I fully intended on drawing today but I got distracted :vanora_sweat:
Tried watching youtube, got distracted, its still paused
adhd go

I've honestly sort of fell off the star wars stuff. might be cool to watch the original films again though <3

Hahaha sounds like we're both very side tracked

Posted in I Own My Car Posted 3 years ago


Thats so exciting!! Congratulations on paying that off!

I'm very early on in my journey to pay off my car so I cannot wait to feel the same!

Posted in May the 4th be with you! Always! Posted 3 years ago


@Kawaii Neko Teaa:
Oh goodness, I didn't even realize the day is almost over already too
woops, I didn't do anything productive :vanora_xd:

I haven't watched anything star wars in a couple of years I think, but I have no doubt my facebook feed is probably full of all my nerdy friends and family having a blast like every may 4th Lol

Posted in May the 4th be with you! Always! Posted 3 years ago


Happy star wars day!!
Wow I almost forgot!

Also welcome back~!

Posted in I spoiled myself again Posted 3 years ago



I found some key caps that fit my style kb! mine are those cherry viola, so they can be kinda hit or miss with the common key caps.
but i asked before I bought and they were right, these fit great <3
they were like $30? so very inexpensive :D

obv would look better on a white kb but I like my corsair



the desk setup WIP continues~~!
but like, long term WIP cause I dont usually have the spare funds for ordering silly things like this
I just had a lot of bonus gift cards piling up :vanora_xd:

Or just what your take is on skillshare as a service. <3
