Ah yes visiting my parents aka another round of "you haven't been able to find a job in Chicago; why are you so insistent on staying here when clearly you should move states & try somewhere else. We did it. Why are you staying here for your friends who do nothing for you? That's immature."

so i'm not technologically incompetent after all- itunes genuinely did add an update that removes the ability to download podcasts! cool!

why do i even have a work badge if they come up with additional excuses every day to justify heightened security?

I left for work early to try being on time for once but the train isn't moving haha joke's on me

...Every time I'm having too good a day, I get a new job rejection email to bring me back to base level like. I didn't have any specific thing to be upset about in this moment-- well nvm then

I have been waiting for this day all week; I'm absurdly ecstatic about the thought of being able to step outside without that overhanging dread of imminent pain

one of the cases i was in the middle of writing an opinion for just settled, rendering the opinion worthless. i'm going to go buy some shoes i don't need and am too old for.

omg this intern once again wrote me something that i edited and then he resubmitted the same original draft to me. astounding.

aaaand I have another giant opinion to write. I can't do this. I actually can't do this. There goes my free time for the next month and a half now.

I finally adulted up and went to the dentist and was rewarded w being told I have 4 cavities. I regret this. Dentist: "want to see the xray?" Me: " NOPE teeth are gross I'll just assume you're not scamming me; the literal last thing I wish to gaze upon are my rotting teeth"
