I wouldn't make a good mod unless my job was to ONLY look after OTD. Even then, man idk, I can't hold my tongue if I got something to say. You can't ask me to be measured and unbiased because I am not. There's a few people I'd like to ban on the spot instead of just sitting around waiting for them to do something else wrong because we already know they are terrible people. WG is a mess and I'm more inclined to be the troll than stop the trolls -- within reason, some are just mean, but the shitpost bait type make me laugh my ass off because WG takes itself entirely too seriously sometimes and really needs to get a stick unstuck from somewhere. The roleplay threads are also hell to read, as I found last night, because lit rpers are married to purple prose and I ended up skimming and tuning it out. Like you're not rping anything nsfw? I guess it's good lol. I can hold my tongue. I’m somewhat patient at this point which I don’t understand at all because I’m not patient to begin with when it comes to certain things in my life. WG reminds me of a swamp that had oil spilled in it. I’m too used to it now that I feel like a broken record. I stopped reading certain roleplay threads a long time ago unless I have the time to. I'm a purple prose writer anyway, sooooo. XD

that's so sad! i hope you feel better eventually. I'm ok - I've lost 4 cats now, one each year up until this year (I'm hoping to skip 2021, but with my now oldest Sydney, it could go either way sometimes). With the loss of each one, I handle it better, though I absolutely HATE the way I handled the loss of Torino (I shoved everything deep inside, so I never really outwardly grieved, which makes me feel guilty because he was obviously such a big presence in my life). I'm just grateful that with each of them, I knew it was time (with Keiko, my first loss, I was holding her and told her, "If you have to go, I understand" and 2 hours later she was gone), and that I was able to hold them at the end, to ensure that none of them died alone. It hurts so bad, but it's still worth that pain to experience the love that I did get to share with them.

Ok, no more dead cat talk.
I came back from my off days tonight to discover they fired 1/3 of the front desk staff while I was gone. We now officially don't have enough people to cover 3 shifts a day, 7 days a week.

Sounds familiar; today, there is only one person at each of our four doors, and they’re holding down those doors by themselves all day for 10 - 12 hours. I *really* hope we have some extra surprise people today because, you know, I like having lunch.

Sounds about right - I’m on vacation as of yesterday but my days are just about the same. For the past 2 weeks I worked 12+ hour shifts 6 days a week and that gets old after a while 😅 In other news...I bought 2 guinea pigs

Spooky and Marley
Spooky is a baby and Marley is about a yr old, adopted because the old owners didn't have the time for him
Naw, Paws, Patches, Whiskers, Sammie and Birdie all stayed home. While I wish I coulda taken them all with me, I could never separate them from each other. They are family. We visit them every week though.
I wanted to get a cat/dog but you need to pay a $65 monthly rental fee to have a cat or a dog o:

I hope I will. I have the interview on the 14th.
And the job is with the library as a clerk. ^^
Failing that ... I will be getting a min. wage job somewhere random, I suppose.

The Italian books I ordered for my Anniversary next month shipped, and they are coming from TURIN. I like that. Kinda loosely ties Torino to the Warriors series.

Sydney will be 14 in February. She's blind due to some neurological issue, and half of the time she's not really there mentally, but her body is healthy, and she doesn't appear to be in physical pain. She recently lost a lot of weight, which is usually the first sign that the end is nearing, but she put it all back on, so I don't know. I do keep an eye on her, because I absolutely don't want her to suffer.

Other then that, he is a fine and healthy cat. We also have two 3 year-old cats who are littermates. Both male. One of them had a urine problem back in September 2020. If he gets it again, he will most likely die.

When I say work is the worst it's ever been, I mean it. TW:Violence There are these 2 new hires (a couple) who are homeless. The manager is letting them stay in an out of order room until they can get paychecks and be able to get a place.
The female was out all night. The male, strung out on alcohol and God knows what, kept wandering the halls all night, coming down to the desk and rambling incoherently, changed clothes 4 times over the night in an attempt to trick me into believing he was someone different. The 2 breakfast people came over to the desk right before he came back for the 2nd or 3rd time, and the breakfast girl kept telling him, "Bye. Go to your room. Bye" which triggered him to threaten to kill her, which sent the breakfast guy out to his car to get his gun, which prompted the breakfast girl to threaten to have her cousin come up here to "take care of him" because apparently they will kill someone without a second thought. The fact that there was such casual talk of gun violence going on around me when all I'm literally doing is sitting at my desk and collecting candies is frightening. My husband is starting to want me to find a new job. I don't want to start over, either with pay or respect. Ultimately the guy went down to his room and apparently took it out on his girlfriend, and now he's in jail for domestic violence. I know the work force pickings are slim lately, but this place just keeps inviting trouble to work here because they have no other options.
My manager asked me once when she first took over if I was scared being here alone at night. I told her no, I was more scared of other employees than strangers off the street. I hate that I keep getting proven right on that statement.

I get that starting over would be scary but if its to a point where you could literally die because of these idiots its definitely time to leave.
Is there perhaps a rival hotel close by that you could apply to switch to?
