how did it go? i used to make calls for folks who had phone anxiety.
asterism wrote
It wasnt too bad, the time leading up to the call is always far worse than the call itself. plus it was a conference call so I mostly took a listening role.
Its school loan related stuff, which has been just uber stressful now tht I am unable to make pmts.

Now that I've bought myself a PC powerful enough to pay games on, I don't feel like playing anymore and just spend my time browsing Reddit and YouTube.

The landlords are gonna get my entire first paycheck and then some.
And then there's the power bill and the water bill.
I guess I can work on paying off my credit card next time.
At least my workdays are slow and I start my second course of training next week.
I like to think that I'll eventually get to spend some of my hard earned money on myself in a month or two.

I'm pretending like I'm working on saving for an apartment but really I'm just surviving month to month at a long stay hotel and I'll be there for a while it looks like. who knows when I'll have the money to move. it's such a trap. rent for an equivalent apartment to this room would easily be 1/2 what i pay per month but because i don't have essentially three months rent for the deposit and however much the deposits are for utilities i just have to deal with it? bc how do you save money when 1/2 your pay goes to rent?
OdiousOutlaw wrote
I only had the money to move to where I'm at because I didn't pay any bills (the old apartment was smaller, much cheaper; I was living in the garage), and barely spent any money at all because I had no real issues living a fairly spartan (you know, for a US citizen) lifestyle. I didn't make a lot, either; but when you have no real expenses, even that will add up.
8 months of saved paycheck after paycheck completely vanished to pay for the security deposit and the first and last month of rent. We go through a financial crisis every couple of months because I insist on finding a job that is, in some way, better than the last one.
We're stuck here because my mom's credit is shot to hell and mine is plummeting because I've had to pay the bills for utilities and rent via an almost maxed out credit card.
It's fucking ridiculous.

You all gave me primmie disease. I eat the seeds of plants and shit in the local park. Thanks a lot. Fucking lifestylist bookchinnwas right. It's a real slippery slope. Next thing I know I'll be foraging most of my food.

It's lettuce but no leafers... Was it painful to lose your leafers?

the best place to shit is in roadside ditches. that's where the water collects, so the seeds will have much more chance of sprouting.
Lettuce wrote
Yeah it's really unfortunate cuz ATM I'm shitting in the industrial belly of the beast US cities so my spots are more about stealth than about best planting spot. Which is sad.
Tho if an opportunity presents itself I def will keep this in mind

the great thing about being vegan is our shits dry up into a brittle ball of seeds literally overnight. unlike carnist shits, which stay moist and putrid for weeks
Lettuce wrote
Interesting. I havnt gone back to check on my shit. Definely something worth investigating.
Tho absolutely the carnistswho shit in the park have shit that smells way worse days than mine immediately after. So I can confirm they are way less gross.

I've decided from now on to call German people hyenas.
We also converted the old out of use well, which was being used as a trash heap, into a herb garden. We must have filled it with 1.2 or 1.3 thousand kilos of dirt. I did that with one other person over about 6 days last week.
Got hella potatoes from a neighbour many of which were already sprouting, so I planted most of them today, and will finish it tomorrow, could end up being almost 100 potato plants in the end if they all survive. Does anyone know plants that would grow well in the same place as the potatoes?
What's going on with you? Want to talk about it?

i was just over whelmed by, you know, everything. I'm in a better place now. 🖤

This week one of my flatmates came home and told me they had stomach worms. Two hours later my other flatmate came home and used the sponge we use for dishes, to clean cat piss off the floor..
Needless to say I'm a host to a few unwelcomed guests too and probably will be for a while.

Still fighting with my insurance to determine if I need to demo or walk away from my house after last year's hurricane. It's been 8 months of camping in my house with stud walls and asbestos, but at least I have a couch bed and a procured desk/table/coffee table/night stand all in one. Gonna go see a local show tonight so that's gonna be neat.
tuesday OP wrote
how was the show?
ivanaMell wrote (edited )
I got confused. It's actually tonight. It's gonna be a few folk punk bands, and I'm pretty stoked because I don't really listen to a lot of folk (maybe like The Taxpayers sometimes), so I'm super curious as to whether anyone does like a sad folksy two step.
So last night I went to emo karaoke night instead, hung out with some crusty kids at the bar, had some kratom drinks and kicked back.

sounds like a dope time either way!!

I have really bad phone anxiety. I have a stressful (even without phone anxiety) phone call scheduled for this evening. I am incredibly stressed out.
edit: my phone call is done, most of my day was ruined but at least for the evening I feel as normal.
