If a worker who isn’t the owner says ANYTHING similar to “I’m not really supposed to do this but-” and then does something that helps you, under no circumstances inform the business, including through reviews. You tell them that the worker was polite, professional, the very model of customer service and why you like to go there. You do not breathe a word of the rulebreaking.

So. In all seriousness…

Do things like this. Please. Tell people what you want done with your things. Write down what you want for your funeral, including things like “don’t spend extra money on me.”

I’ve had a packet of information that my partners will need if I die set up for years, ever since i worked in banking and got to see, over and over, how hard it was on partners and families and friends trying to find where people had bank accounts and can you tell me if this safe deposit box key comes from your bank and oh let me tell you how hard it’s been because everyone is fighting over what should be done with his things.

Make it easier on the people who you’ll leave behind, as best you can.

Ok, I was ALSO going to say The Magicians bc that was my emotional support show every Winter Break while I made fudge for my in-laws (among other things, but mostly making fudge w/o a stand mixer) for several years and a couple years ago.

The Margo/Eliot time loop episode (S5E6) would probably be my go-to.

I guess it’s time for a rewatch. At least of season 5.

Being overstimulated is such a weird thing to explain to people. Like “hey sorry, I’m not mad at you and this is nobody’s fault and I’m not blaming anyone for it happening, I am aware this is a part of regular everyday life but I am mentally crumbling because There Have Been Things Happening nonstop for 5 hours straight back to back with no breaks, and I really need to sit down in complete silence for like 15-25 minutes, after which I will be completely fine and can proceed as normal. But if I’m not allowed to have that, I will resort to violence.”

It IS true that being on here gives you a tumblr accent. This morning my mother asked me something and i replied “i don’t know i’ve never heard these words in that order” and she nearly choked laughing. It wasn’t even that funny

at my old job i had a coworker who was tired and made a coffee with like 6 or 8 shots of espresso and i just casually went up to them like “are you trying to meet god?” and not only was this absolutely hilarious to them but they brought it up in future conversations they thought it was so funny but to me this was just as casual as saying “woah that’s a lot of coffee”

Being funny on Tumblr and then going to be funny in real life is like traveling to a foreign country and baby the currency exchange rate is biased in your favor
