It has been A Week.
Work was mostly fine, pretty average other than the annoyance of the new project I've been put on. I really don't understand why the lab allows some of this stuff. What's the point of having clearly posted rules for what we accept, if the managers agree to circumvent them every time? I called out on Thursday because I really just needed to not go in for a day, which was nice. Oh, and I went to the dentist on Tuesday, and incredibly, my teeth are looking good. You really don't appreciate a good checkup with the dentist until you've grown up with terrible teeth.
Homelife-wise, I got a "friendly notice" from the apartment complex about violating one of the trash policies. I admit, I did do it, but the reason I did was because they didn't pick up the trash the day before, as they were supposed to. What else am I supposed to do when the other end of the contract isn't being held up?? I sent them a message via resident portal asking for the specifics of what I violated, so I'm hoping they get back to me and I can explain, but if not, I'll probably send a follow-up with my own complaint, because uh I pay for this service every month.
Also, the incoming threat of federal loan repayment is hanging over my head, and I'm already stressed enough about money as it is. I'm really hoping I can get on an income-driven repayment plan, because then I might be able to manage, or at least only hemorrhage a little bit of money every month instead of immediately going into panic mode.
For fandom, I'm really irritated at both the Hannibal fandom and the Good Omens fandom right now, though for different reasons. The Hannibal fandom loves to embroil itself in the most inane interpersonal conflicts, which then have a bad habit of spreading out to other parts of the internet. It's the reason why I don't engage on Twitter and somewhat avoid the fans who have their main base there. For the Good Omens fandom, all this drama about the "leak" (which isn't really a leak because it was deliberately revealed) and whether or not it is ethical to share or discuss it is simultaneously the funniest and stupidest thing ever. I went and hunted it down just to see what the big deal is, and oh my god, it's two frames, less than a second, no context. So fucking dumb.
Ugh.
At least writing is going okay. Nothing new posted this week, only did a little NaNo '22 editing, but I did at least meet my wordcount goal, and my CoC oneshot is getting closer and closer to completion.
