Jolly's posts

I think its just a change in generations. By now everyone from before are so busy with work and life, or lost interest in the simple things like old internet joys from the past. We're in our 20's-late 30's and bills are ever looming over us--

The new generations seemingly have less interest in close relations, and only speak in meme (but also, often children still so I run away) XD
My attempts to participate in discord servers is often not successful

I remember when like, Deviantart was super fun and sociable. I used to primarily use that site and Gaiaonline, and would have a bunch of people to talk to when I'd log in. I felt more satisfied when I'd finish a drawing and post it because it wasn't just likes and follows, it was friends recognizing the OCs I drew and making relevant jokes and comments.

I miss that!

I'm sure we all know how both of those sites have declined. Gaia has become painfully insignificant and slow, DA algorithm sucks more now and its all so porn-y in the weirdest of ways.

I ended up using Twitter, and still do, for my art posts. Last year there was a moment where people socialized a little more on there with me, but thats cause I got into certain events that brought some of us together. But by now they've all stopped talking to me and I'm just back to being invisible. The rest of what Twitter offers is just very... outraging and often misinformed or misworded headlines and people screaming at each other lol

I'm getting so bored!
I miss how wholesome internet used to be, at least from my experiences. I want a good art-hosting website that is friendly and not mobile-based ;v;

@starlight:
Yay thank you :D!

I'd love to get into resin too but its very expensive! And tricky to work with from what I've been told.
The materials are toxic so be sure to get a respirator mask so you dont breathe it while you work, and be near an open window or outside for proper ventilation :D

I also like to consider what sort of side hobbies I can do. I draw of course, but sometimes its nice to do something more traditional. I have some miniature crafts like a mini wooden ramen stand to build, but I need to find a way to keep them without my kitten breaking them so they;re in a box unfinished right now. Still training her to keep off my book shelves XD

:>
I have 99 but I only really want one item anyway
if anyone has some to spare I'd appreciate!

*edit* I got it and then some! Thank you everyone <33

@Amber Lynne:
Not bad, just livin! Went to work today only to be sent home to come in tomorrow instead. So yayy, rest :D
How've things been for you?

@aisukohi:
Ugh yeah, dont even get me started! It drives me crazy that people are so comfortable not working at all. I can enjoy about a month of no work kinda, but after that I get so depressed if I'm not out doing productive work and making income o:
I dont get how people do it

@totalanimefan:
The company would probably never reduce the store hours, they'd rather us work every day before they consider that Lol
They can be a bit cutthroat sometimes!
We're trying hard to hire someone, but no one can pass the audit interviews so far because of felons or drugs

Yes, but at the same time, reconnecting with people on here make me happy too
its been nice trying to come back again :vanora_icon:

@aisukohi:
Oh gosh, I'm sorry! I feel like this is just such an issue right now D:
We're in a similar place with having no one in our warehouse staff at all, so even though we're supposed to be commission-based sales associates who dont commonly leave the floor, we very often have to spend much of our shifts in the back warehouse to do trucks or inventory. Its a long process and we lose customer opportunities. ANd those of us who remain on the floor are overwhelmed with customers and phone calls. Its a mess!

Hope we both find some non-felon people to hire soon D:
We've turned away so many of those too, from domestic abusers, sexual abusers and child porn records... its sometimes disturbing to interview them

worklife makes me incredibly antisocial :'D
Like I spend 11 hours talking to customers so when I come home, I just wanna zone out or do something quiet

I'm semi-not-adulting by making buttered noodles instead of cooking something proper tonight :D

Oh, but there are actual snacks that are like what you describe. They're soooooooo tasty!

@blue:
Yeah I'm learning that now. I've had a TON of cats in my childhood, but never from a shelter so I didn't experience their sickness as much.
I guess its something with having a bunch of cats in a room together, they can catch airborne virus/bacteria from each other or from the kennels

@Sunny:
I hope so too :'D
To make things harder we have a remodel going on simultaneously so we cant hear anything
I dont exactly blame the guy for quitting, just wish there was at least a week of notice

@sunny:
We've been trying to hire someone for months!!
There's a process where we'll interview a ton of people, pick out a handful to do a second audit-style interview with our regional manager. But then he would reject all of them. He's rejecting SO MANY people that we like and then he blames us because no one's been hired yet.
Our regional manager is a great guy but I think he might be setting the bar way too high for his standards... That, or it might be the drug policy getting in the way. Our company goes off of federal standards, where things like pot are still not legal on federal level. So employees cant use it at all or risk their job if ever given a drug test and fail. Many candidates get turned away by this cause its kinda stupid. People should be judged by performance... >>
