Opening up a space for everyone to talk about how they're doing! Got some cool stuff going on? Feeling kinda down? Let's talk about it!
Remember you are loved
Started "working" with Outlier, basically training AI responses. Minimum wage, boring ass work, but i put in 70 hours this past week (most of it time thievery). Behind on rent and bills, but if I can push myself for 2 more weeks of this I can maybe catch up! Had a few "serious" job interviews this week, so we'll see where they go. The one I'm looking forward to most is a pet care company, but no response after a phone call like 10 days ago. Partner just got a job today so that's cool!
Beyond that...I dunno. Just feeling kinda blah and not very great. Both tummy and brain troubles today.
How have you been?
Whats the manga? Good luck on the job situation, lost my tech job almost a year ago and know the struggle in that sector well. Things seem to be picking up now at least, but maybe that's just me. Started working online for minimum wage in the meantime. It's something to help with rent at least. It does suck, but if you want a link I'll drop it for sure!
'Oshi no ko' and 'how do we relationship' have been keeping me going. Highly recommend 'how do we relationship' at least, it's a queer drama but the way the mangaka writes characters is so beautiful. They're imperfect, multidimensional, and easy to relate to and sympathize with.
I half thought about doing contract work or taking multiple lower paying roles, but that's so risky and it feels sleey taking multiple jobs when others don't have one. I'll take the link, it's good to keep options open since at my current place the 'if' I starting to feel like 'when'.
Hell yeah I'll check those out! Been getting into anime the past year, going through Soul Eater now, and always open to recs!

I haven't seen soul eater myself but from a sci fi standpoint, I reccomend picking up mob psycho if you get a chance and haven't already :)
I'll add it to the list! Basically my system is one arc of One Piece > switch to something shorter > go back to one piece > rinse and repeat.
Good system. I'm very very slowly reading the manga. Are you doing the whole show or one pace ?
Gonna do the whole show, left off just having finished the little 12 episode segment after the Enies lobby/CP9 arc!
I promised my partner I'd buy her a sword if she made it to episode 1000 with me. She started out thinking "yeah this is cute and fun" to "oh shit this is good" during the whole Water City arc
