What's Going On

[(Anonymous)]

?

Re: What's Going On

[kaijinscendre]

Trying to figure out if I am too old for a hostel (in Seattle, NYC, or San Francisco) since that is probably the only way I'll be able to afford a solo trip. So I might just not do a solo trip.

Re: What's Going On

[(Anonymous)]

For me it's like what isn't going on. I just spent a bunch of time typing up meeting minutes (you know, a fun weekend activity) and sent those out for review. I've also review/sorted a few hundred photos from different vacations and projects. Now I'm just waiting for a livestream to start.

Re: What's Going On

I'm on mixed day/night shifts all this week, some days I'm on nights and some nights I'm on days, twelve hours at a time. I'm dreading it. Even my day off is not gonna feel like a day off because I get it coming off a night, so technically still working that morning, going into a day shift the next day so starting at 6am. That means I will be sleeping most of my day off, then going straight into work again immediately thereafter. How is that a f---ing day off then? I hope whoever drew up this rota can never wear socks again without them falling down inside their shoes, and that every time they wipe their arse the paper tears and their fingers go through it.

Just got done with work for the next few days, bought some groceries, and now I’m playing with ChatGPT. It’s not the greatest writer on earth, and I’m certainly no OP of #2 from yesterday, but when I want a quick fix, I just tell it “please write a story where a cool person named Anon meets famous actor Celeb McCrush and they fall in love” and damned if it doesn’t satisfy. It’s like fast food.

My body has been a disaster today since I woke up feeling pretty good and thus thought it was safe to try eating something. (It wasn't.) But while stuck in bed I think I finished a drawing I've been working on. I think I want to leave it as a pencil sketch because I like the sketchiness of it (and I mean "sketchy" in multiple ways, lol).

I really should go do my daily pokestop spin though. I just know it's going to be a miserable 5 minute drive. :/

I wish bath houses were more of a thing here in the UK. I'm currently unable to take a shower that's longer than 2 minutes and staying with my family means that I have no right to actually fix it.

Re: What's Going On

[philstar22]

Really overwhelmed at the moment. Still working on grief, and feel like I need some space to do that. Having the whole family here was really nice. But now I just feel exhausted and want some space. My sister and brother-in-law are so high energy and take over everything. I just want to breathe. And sleep.

Re: What's Going On

[(Anonymous)]

Just got back from my aunt and uncle's 65th anniversary celebration. It was bittersweet because my uncle was recently diagnosed with terminal cancer. :(

Re: What's Going On

[(Anonymous)]

Just booked an experimental bare-bones plane ticket to visit my mom for four days. It cost $47CAD round trip. Apparently the ticket cost was $0.52 and the rest is surcharges.

It's a half hour flight, and I get to bring one small personal item. I will definitely be wearing two pairs of everything that day, but I'm skinny and always cold, so that's not gonna be a problem.

I'm pretty apprehensive about flying (heh!) by the seat of my pants like this, but I figure, if it goes wrong, I'm genuinely only out fifty bucks, so it's worth a shot. Fingers crossed.

Re: What's Going On

1) Our garage door opener needs repairs/adjusting. Oh joy.

2) I also have to pay for a junk haul service at the end of the month.

3) Laundry, AKA the Never Ending Story...

4) But on the bright side, I just bought a t-shirt with the Autobot logo on it, plus some other packages that are arriving soon. Yay for retail therapy?!!

Forty minutes until my day ends and I get to go home

Re: What's Going On

[greghousesgf]

Just got back from a party that a friend used to do every year but had to stop for 3 years because covid. Far less people than there used to be (understandably) but I had so much fun!

Re: What's Going On

[(Anonymous)]

I have a solo trip tomorrow and I've been so tired and fatigued I haven't really packed. Doesn't help that when I went shopping I found nothing inspiring. Putting something that won't make me too uncomfortable or feel too deessed down for the event I'm going to has been rough. I hope whatever I put together will at least make me comfortable and feel not too negative about my looks.

I honestly feel like I shouldn't have gotten an expensive hotel since I'm rather broke...but I need a fucking break from the world.

I just placed olive oil in my ears according to doctor advice, and now I'm just hoping that doctor was not a quack.

[(Anonymous)]

I've seen olive oil based drops/spray recommended for certain types of ear wax build up, if that helps.

[(Anonymous)]

It can be beneficial, but it depends on your ears' condition. If you need it to just soften your earwax then you'll probably be Ok.

I've done it a few times in the past, but for me it was a flop :/
My sister though does it regularly with no problem.

[(Anonymous)]

It's a good treatment for softening wax in your ears, although it depends on what needs to be treated. In any case it's one of many ways to treat ailments in your ears.

[tabaqui]

When I was a kid, my dad would put a couple drops of warm oil in our ears if we had an earache; the heat felt really good.

It won't *hurt* your ears, just leave them kinda slippery, heh. I recommend cotton balls if you're going to bed, or you'll have oily spots on your pillow.

[(Anonymous)]

Resident "snake oil anon" here and I would never do that to my ears.

As you can see, different cultures have different, well, remedies.

ChatGPT fanfic

[(Anonymous)]

Clicked on a story on AO3 and the author just casually mentions in the top notes that they "got help" from ChatGPT to write this fic like it's no big deal. Somehow this is depressing me way more than all the jobs this thing is supposedly going to make obsolete.

Re: ChatGPT fanfic

[(Anonymous)]

Hey, at least it isn't more-than-five fingers per hand fan art. That always gave me the creeps.

Bogus...

Re: ChatGPT fanfic

[(Anonymous)]

Now I wanna read one just to see what it's like....

Re: ChatGPT fanfic

[(Anonymous)]

See, if I want a personalized fic ASAP, drawer fic really, Iihht be tempted to use this thing. But for something I'd post? Nah. I enjoy when I would write fic, that's part of the fun (for me at least). I might get inspired by other fics, Tumblr prompts and drabbles, but...still gotta write it myself.
