and the month

if anime expo doesn't kill me I'm probably immortal

we'll see how I'm doing after uuuh July 7 lol

WHAT WHY that's madness

deadlines

BE BRAVE

oh gosh.... prayer circle for u

NO...

today I have to drive to North Hollywood, barf

to do physical labor lol

and my coworker keeps getting conveniently injured before every convention season so she can't help with anything

I know it's not on purpose but it's still annoying (she's fine)

really curious what the company would do if I didn't lift they should cover my gym fees

unfortunately my dumb ass did decide to go back to the gym after a break this week and I'm so sore LMAO I played myself I didn't expect it but that's what happens when you take three weeks off I GUESS auughhh

north hollywood, GROSS

i hate it when men refuse to look at instructions

we're building a huge commercial exhibit booth and there are videos and photos and guides and Mr Man has to just "figure it all out" and isn't listening to me and I'm gonna scream (I have been right every single time because I watched the video lol)

You need new coworkers

oh my god is it marketing guy again or the big man mr man (either way i will eat them)

marketing guy

I'm so tired of him

I'm tired of all men with egos

Junkiyaz: correct

god. i haven't even had the misfortune to meet him yet and he makes me exhausted.

nearly 3 hour meeting today

most of which was like

boss: [says something stupid no one wants to do]
me, in my best Diplomatic Voice: "here are some reasonable reasons we shouldn't do this"

boss: "ok, I respect your opinion...
....

.......bbbbbuuut here's why i don't actually want to listen to anything anyone else says and i don't actually care and let me change subjects until this meeting has gone on an hour overtime and everyone is so ground down they simply don't have the energy to argue anymore"

i need to go

take a shot

jump in the ocean

idk

this week has been so awful lol

i wanted to go to the gym today but im still at work at 7:30 on a friday and i'm nowhere near done

writing an email to my manager it's impossible to hit the deadline he asked for and idk what else to say man

i'm done being good at my job

someone else should try being good at theirs for once

im so upset and i don't even have time to go lift weights about it lmao

UGH they don't deserve you

i wish i could eat them for you

wheezes i just

reuse this for family I guess. but I'm tired and the desert is hot and family is frustrating and I feel like I need a whole extra weekend day :/

I don't want to work tomorrow lol

decided to visit my mom in the desert

not actually free from work but at least I get to do this after

spent half the day fixing other people's mistakes sigh

whatever i am vibing now. and my mom made and brought me lunch while I was deep in the spreadsheet mines

also there are cats which is nice

honestly despite the drama and continued fallout actually it's so much nicer visiting after my parents split up lol

CATS

yes i have a digimon towel no i haven't seen digimon

my mom gave it to me because it was An Anime when I was like. twelve. and i love it despite not knowing anything lmao

omg that's cute

i have demon slayer socks for that same reason

haha! it's very cute when the parents are like.... I guess you like this? and I'm like

you tried and that's what matters

an attempt was made

when most of the country is in a crazy heat wave and u visit ur mom in the desert and she's like

"you got lucky. it's only 100 this week"

I know what she means is "it was 115 last week" but it was also. very funny

"it's actually pretty cool out"

no it's just not as hot as it could be 😂

I took a break to go to the gym and take a walk and now

back to work l o l

good news is my wife

made me a piña colada!!!

IT'S BEAUTIFUL

the bad news is one of the oranges

did taste like soap

I saw her tweet and I was like I bet lena's gonna drink that after the photos

scathefire: aklfg LMAO YOU WIN THAT BET

i barely look at twitter so i didn't know...

i cant believe she fed me soap fruit smh (it only tasted a little like soap)

SCERAMS INTO THE ETHER god i am almost. almost done with this stupid work thing. the deadline is tomorrow but i have only... maybe like 2-3 hours work left on it.... (yes i was working on it until now but also i don't want to work over the weekend so this was my choice instead)

I'M PRAYIN FOR YOU

thank you

I wish I could just not work next week but I had to set everything aside to do this project so next week I have to do MY actual job lol

then I'm at AX for literally most of the next week TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY!!!! absolute insanity

I AM going to try to rest next week tho as much as I can before I have to battle half a million nerds in a sardine can

i just looked up 2023 Anime Expo attendance and it's nearly 400,000 for real lmao how

that's not counting all the vendors etc I don't think...

I don't understand numbers and I feel like their website exaggerated if SDCC gets half that and is supposed to be bigger

it's like that game where you have to figure out how many jelly beans are in a jar but my concept of numbers and space is so bad I was always laughably off

I guess it doesn't matter when the answer is

too fucking many

good night..... I just have to make it thru tomorrow

FOUR...HUNDRED THOUSAND....

that's what they claim

on the AX blog lol

I cannot conceptualize that many people

it's really insane.

from here

the fact they don't cap ticket sales should literally be illegal

ugh I've been using the computer way more than I'm used to and my wrist hurts

mad about it

i was stunned the last year that i went that they never capped ticket sales

and i'm 100% sure it's grown exponentially since then

but god that is just. a literal wall of people. shocked the fire marshall even let them all in the building tbh

funny story

they didn't

people kept getting stuck outside because the fire marshall kept being like

no more people inside

there were points where they didn't even let people in who were working the show, it was a whole fiasco lmao

oh. oh no. what a fiasco

SDCC caps their ticket sales, which AX.... should

because it’s literally unsafe at this point doesn’t the fire marshal have anything to say about it??

jfc even nycc caps at 200k

company that owns anime expo only cares about money and for some reason the city of Los Angeles lets them

(also probably for money)

I'm not working SDCC this year but it's always night and day even though it's a huge convention

SDCC is actually organized and their volunteers are actually trained lol

GOD I'M ALMOST DONE WITH THIS STUPID PROJECT

I wanted to go to the gym ugh I'm so mad about

all this computer work with no time to uncrunchify but soon. soon I'll be free

update im not free but i'm tired

my coworker who was supposed to help me with this hasn't supported me at all and I've done 90% of it so i just emailed my manager and said i'll do the rest monday because I refuse to work over the weekend

IT'S WEEKEND I DON'T CARE I WANT TO TOUCH CLIVE'S TITS AND DISASSOCIATE WITH SUSHI ON THE COUCH

let nothing stop you. that sounds like an amazing time

more dumb work complain unrelated to anything

I don't understand why people feel the need to overshare on email..... i work with a lot of freelancers and most of them are normal but occasionally there's a weirdo and if they're a weirdo who does a great job ok but still

LMAO truly when you're looking at an email like

"K."

you know what it is. it's only people of a certain age lmao

SORRY THIS IS PROBABLY MEAN it's just funny, there are a few people i work with who are probably like my mom's age and they all like to tell me all about their day and their family and their cat

like this guy just emailed me and he could have said "do you have any projects for me?" but he also insisted on telling me his wife is sick and he has a bunch of errands to do and also it's snowing and also next week he'll be on vacation

BUD I DON'T CARE SORRY

im not your friend?? i don't even know you

anyway it's fine and totally harmless but it makes me feel awkward because i don't actually want to respond to any of that

omg though that awkwardness is why like

if i'm sick or something i'm just like "apologies, am unavailable until xyz date"

my clients don't need to know why! they don't care! and telling them i have strep and my throat is soooo sore is just. weird.

talked to my manager about how frustrated and burnt out I am

it's so hard being professional when you just want to scream like a goat into the zoom call lol

I'm grateful my direct manager is really good and I like him a lot, he's honestly one of the best managers I've ever had

pretty much everyone else i never want to see again lol

me like

how do i professionally say "I feel like I'm doing fucking everything around here and I have the notes and results to prove it in fact"

I'd better get a significant promotion by year end or they're gonna be absolutely shook by how I'm about to drop 80% of what I'm doing now and how funny it'll be when no one else does it either

(I talked to them about a promotion but i got "earliest is end of year" idk man)

maybe it's not worth it maybe I don't need a career maybe I just need to disappear into the forest and become a feral creature

screaming like a goat into the call is honestly such a relatable mood

Crossing my fingers you get the promotion soon you more than deserve it for doing so much!!

indech: thanks arboria I'm so tired
