I just learned why I'm not getting many hours at my job, and honestly it pisses me off so bad I'm seeing red. One of the managers has been telling the other managers that I'm late to work every day, when I show up almost an hour early because I get a ride. He's also been telling them that I just walk around with a box even when I'm scheduled for something else. As such, I'm not getting many hours beyond one day a week. Which has to stop. Especially today.

This MIGHT come off as a tad creepy, but it crossed my mind a second ago and I got a bit of a laugh out of it. First, some context. I was at work today and an uppity black woman, yes they still exist, snaps at one of my co-workers who asked if she wanted paper or plastic for her wine bottle (we're supposed to put it in a paper bag and THEN put that in a plastic bag), and says "Are you a racist?" I answered for her, since the co-worker was an elderly woman who was just doing her job.

"No, she's not. But I am you delicious chocolate treat. I love all of the races equally."

I don't know if she was charmed or offended cause she shut right up. The people behind her almost bust a gut, but it was kinda funny.

I hate doing this... like REALLY hate doing it. I'd avoid it entirely if I could, but desperate times... I need money. Badly. Not even a lot, just enough to cover a bottle of contact solution, however much that is. Between my mom's job and my job, we just don't make nearly enough to cover ALL of the essentials, such as food, water bill, electricity, internet and heat, let alone things like contact solution so I can see (mom doesn't do contacts). I got glasses, yes, so I can see at night and not have to hassle with taking my contacts out before going to bed (couldn't afford the kind you can wear while you sleep), but I got the contacts specifically so I wouldn't have to wear glasses every damn day.

Here's the slightly longer explanation of the jobs. My mom is a writer for the...

So... my phone is pissing me off. I can't upload an add blocker on it, and for some damn reason, it's playing adds every few minutes that I can skip, thankfully, after 5 seconds. Problem is... it plays them over EVERYTHING. Even PubG Mobile, which is a BIG problem because that's a LIVE game that I can't exactly PAUSE.

Easily fixable... a timer on PMs. I write fast, but I still have to wait a minute before responding to Private Messages? Is that right? A minute? I'm not sure. Something that could fix that wold be a timer. Darken up the "send" button with a timer next to it that counts down from 50-0. 50 second timer so that we know we can't send right away.

I have a request of the artists on the site. I will pay when I have the money available to me. I'm tired of using dragons from popular media, such as my current profile picture, Deathwing from WoW. I want to use MY OC as my profile picture. I have a request of any of the artists. I'm going to post a non-colored template that I found on google images. The description of it will have what my OC looks like. As it already comes with a template... I'm willing to pay between $40-$60 dollars. I merely want some editing and coloring done. I don't have the skill myself to do it, I know this, nor do I have the equipment to edit the picture on my laptop myself. If it wasn't coming with the template ready made, I'd offer more money, but since the template is there, $40-$60 is the limit. If anyone is...

So no one knows this yet because I haven't said anything, but our water is currently turned off. The water company didn't receive our payment for the month, so they shut us off without alerting us. It wasn't that we hadn't paid, it was that the fucking mail HADN'T GONE OUT. They didn't receive our payment because of a fuck up on the mail company's end and on their end because of a shitty filing system. So they got our payment today, on October Fourth. Does that mean they turned our water back on? Nope. They wan't another $150 just to turn it back on. Which we won't have until next payday, in two more weeks. So we have to suffer with practically a whole month of smelling like sweat and shit and being constipated because we can't shower and we can't use our toilet.

Hopefully, by now, everyone knows what Magic the Gathering is, considering it's one of the biggest card games out there, probably right behind Cards Against Humanity or YuGiOh. Well, the latest Core Set introduced two new Plains Walkers. I don't know who one of them is, but the other one is Angrath. He's a Minotaur and a Pirate. Black/Red mana, so his deck is loaded with black red cards. There are also only 2 versions of him. Angrath, Minotaur Pirate and Angrath, the Flame-Chained. Now, most people would be fine with the one that comes WITH the Angrath starter deck you can buy, which comes with two booster packs.

Here's where the shenanigans starts.

Last night was the Store Championship here in Creston, Iowa at the Bookwyrm. They host Magic almost every week for...

Season 8, Episode 23, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic OFFICIALLY made Kirin cannon. Now all of those artists who made Kirin OCs can fit them into the Cannon. HOWEVER, there is a small catch. They also have to make a "Nirik" version of their OC. The dark, angry side of their Kirin. Litterally the reverse of their normal selves. So if your Kirin is a complete and utter dick, your Nirik has to be a tried and true sweet heart.

Small set of opinions here. I'll make a list.

1: Should I do "live streams" of writing sessions? I don't really draw, but I can write, I think. If I get the equipment, or program, to share my screen, would anyone watch a stream of me writing fics for here? The purpose of this is two fold. One, I can charge for viewing, which I probably wouldn't because it's sort of a dick move. Two, I can get opinions AS I'M WRITING on what should happen next. For example (not putting this in a story) a demon is about to crush the skull of the main character's love interest, but there are five or six other women, or even a couple men, who are also interested in him/her. However, the main character is in love with the one the demon is about to kill. As I'm writing out the situation,...
