Aspiring to be casually rich and office hot, while plugging away at an entry level job that promises a pension and good benefits because #compromise and idk maybe I’ll make enough to buy a fancy Japanese toilet.
I have a tendency to run away and/or move to foreign countries when life gets "too real" or I'm feeling restless. This has resulted in me being both single af and struggling to buy a studio apartment where my bed folds into a wall.
Champagne taste, sparkling water budget; so my 5 year plan is to marry money -and then ride out the alimony payments once he realizes what a nightmare I am.
Super fun at parties. Honestly I have no problem dicking around at work but ya gotta keep up appearances. Chatting while in a public space, you’re friendly and contributing to a positive office environment even if your discussing a TV show or something obviously off topic, pulling someone into your office to show them a slideshow of shitty pictures from you vacation for half an hour like some of my coworkers do to me is a different ball game, it’s more committed than happened upon. Like reading shit on the internet, you do it on your desktop and it looks like a quick break (or that you’re actually working) same thing on your phone and you look like your not taking anything seriously.
It actually baffles me how old people think this is something to do at work. Not only does it make your coworkers hate you but it’s a bad look to anyone higher up when you’re not only waisting your time but also a colleagues.
As long as you have severance or employment insurance and can cover your bills you’ll do fine. I would absolutely travel too like everyone recommended. I got let go from a job with my dream company years ago, felt a little lost and moved abroad for about 3 years making enough to cover bills/travel. I have very little savings now (and am ironically back at the same dream company) and in an entry level position but I’ll never be able to duplicate those years and honestly they were worth it. You don’t need to go crazy but even a week long trip to somewhere in Europe or something would be amazing to take advantage of cause soon enough you’ll be back at a new job and the window to do selfish things will close -or at least be a lot harder to take advantage of.
Currently house sitting for the grownup version of girl. I’ve had to sign for several deliveries just this week for an already furnished gigantic house. People do totally drop this money on furniture just to “upgrade” from the stuff they bought two years ago when they built the house.
Meanwhile I just bought a bed from a discount wholesaler that gets overstock from Costco and similar stores and I’m concerned its over my monthly budget, but it looks hella similar to these other pieces I’ve seen in the overpriced catalogues.
As a feminist, and a sweaty feminist at that AC is the GOAT. Honestly I run hot, the menopausal women in my office are always going through hot flashes and literally have god damn fans at their desk and the men are also sweaty individuals. If Susan has to put on her “backup cardigan” and both look more professional and not fuck with the other 50% of the office whos temperature is just fine, bitches can get space heaters and stop complaining, this is not an issue for feminism.
If Todd’s having a bachelor party we’ve gone too far down that rabbit hole. I’m not opposed to it tho, he absolutely deserves Girl and all the misery that comes along with their relationship.
Paid off mine (approx 35k) 3 years after despite having a shitty wage and job hopping more than I would’ve preferred. I basically only bought groceries and necessities, didn’t do anything fun and would work in a smoothie shop or babysitting for rich people who over paid me every day after work. Since I was so busy it was easier to not spend money and every time I had an extra few hundred sitting around I transferred it right away. Great feeling to be done with them but that said in retrospect I wish I would’ve had a bit more fun and taken an extra year or two, found more of a work-life balance.
As scary as numbers are if you live somewhat more minimally in these next few years I’m sure you’ll tackle this.
TBH I’m looking fwd to getting rid of my old shitty pictures from the early days of instagram. Clean up the account for a strong aesthetic but keep the memories.
Would totally abuse the shit of this if I were in a dramatic relationship tho.
Fresh off of my first job ending after graduation in 2010 I just claimed to be funemployed rather than unemployed. Felt it played better. Bought myself a gaudy gold “retirement watch” and wore it around for bunches I could only afford cause the rest of my meals came from a box with instructions like “boil in water”. Didn’t freely admit that my employment insurance had to supplemented by babysitting and changing poopy diapers from randos on Craigslist while publicly ignoring the anxiety of never finding something and having my EI run out and being homeless. I’m for sure still an insufferable asshole, but I was much worse back then.
I’m sure that’s the situation for half those people. Smoke and mirrors.
The other half? I’m jealous as fuck of.
If it’s good and made in house I’m in. I have a pretty overbearing personality and either bully or force the situation into a desert if it’s warranted by something that sounds that delicious . But I’m not paying a 400% inflation for the same shit I can pick up in a grocery store.

Taylor up here giving us the satisfaction TGDAG never does.
You do realize nurses go to school for 4+ years right? They don’t take a 3 day course on administrating over the counter drugs and bandaids.

The more of these things I read the more appealing a courthouse wedding appeals to me.

I find when moving furniture the pivot is more helpful with a couch rather than a table..
Grade 11 biology class right there.
Not even having enough time on your lunch break to run errands PGP
Well, I mean you’re not wrong
