Our ancestors endured horrors we can’t imagine, but they resisted and survived. We are part of that lineage. Their blood runs through us. But we are not our ancestors. You will not force us You will stop degrading us You will not control us We will be victorious And we will not be erased.

It takes 2 minutes to text and let me know you’re running late. In this age of communication there’s no excuse for me to be sitting here 20 minutes past my appointment time. This is the second time. I’m taking time out of MY work day to be here.

I’m in Michigan and I see fools driving with their windows down. These are probably the same unvaccinated, non-mask wearing idiots walking around here during Covid.

Rewatching Suits for the third time in my life. Trying to find a stopping point so I can actually be productive today (at 7pm—but I did pass a cert exam this morning). Dammit these episode endings keep me hanging on!

Not me turning off my mic for the day to get an early start on the holiday weekend and a colleague messaging me at 3:45pm talking about “can I call you.”

Ugh on a work call and just accidentally hit the video on button when I was trying to turn on my audio. I ducked immediately bc my hair looks like crap. 😩

Embarrassed to admit I finally sat down to watch “The Green Book.” I started it a long time ago and just never went back to it. Not sure why. But very glad I did tonight.

Taking a leap. Bought a Roccbox pizza oven. (Used to make pizzas in an Italian restaurant.) Gonna start testing out a new side gig: pizza popup. It can crank out about 30 pizzas an hour. PS - This is going to be horrible for me trying to cut carbs.

Not this man on FB marketplace asking if we could meet half way in the (mostly dead) mall parking lot (and specifically by Kohl’s?)—after I said we could meet at the police station. How stupid does he think I am? Checked out his profile and he doesn’t look a guy who would use the word “kiddo.”

I had perhaps thee best restaurant apple pie in my entire life last week. I could’ve gotten a whole pie, but got a slice instead since it was first time. I’ve been thinking about that pie for 4 days. I’m going one today. I’m afraid of what it might do to my meal planning tho. 😬

Having a zoom chat with a colleague. Asking questions and he responds “yah.” Asked him an “or” question and he responds “yah.” Dude! WTF?! Read and answer like you’re not in high school! So I had to ask again and highlight the OR. Just freaking annoying.

I don’t know why I didn’t cancel my order of hanging file tabs that are coming from China (didn’t know) at the end of the month and just drive 5 minutes to Office Depot to pick up some. 🤦🏾‍♀️

I need a cuddle buddy. I want a dog, but dammit a cat is much more well suited to my lifestyle. I’m not a cat person, though. Only because they climb on things.

Lord have mercy, I ordered some popcorn kernels just to meet the minimum for free delivery. They’re coming from Indiana. I’m in Michigan. I could’ve picked them up at the store here. 🤦🏾‍♀️

I must have a new neighbor because I swear I have never heard snoring through my walls in the 2 years I’ve lived here. I seriously thought someone was vacuuming. This has got to be my last year sharing walls. I need a house.

I was hired for a specific role that has slowly morphed into something I didn’t sign up for. I worked hard to earn a specific certification for this job. And now today I learned my job title is basically being downgraded (at work but not on LinkedIn or my resume) so we can be standardized.

Why? They’re not going to give me a giant raise. They’re taking away our downtime. When you can barely give anything, a title is a nice option. And now they’re taking that away. I’m so fucking tired.

Sick of having to repeat myself because this one person is always in such a hurry/so busy and doesn’t bother to read my emails completely. So I get responses that don’t address everything and I have to ask again. Dammit people!

Ugh Have to call to order a part for my rowing machine. I grew up when this was necessary, but it’s 2026 and I’ve adapted. They say it’s a safety issue—ppl order the wrong part and get hurt. But I picked out the part from the owner’s manual so they’re still relying on me to ID what I need. 🤦🏾‍♀️

I realize Trump set the bar in the toilet and we’re desperate for a savior, but can we normalize not saying someone would make a great president just because they gave a good speech or passed a cool law? Geez people have some standards. That’s how we got here in the first place.

Brought mom’s Volvo in for service. Never been here myself. I asked if there was a restaurant in walking distance and service mgr said about a mile up. I’m about to drop $600. He couldn’t offer me a courtesy ride to get food?! It’s cool-ish and wet outside!

I started my day with one simple prayer. By the end of the day, God had said ‘nope’ and now things are turned upside down. Meanwhile this administration is royally fucking us over and all the bad guys seem to keep getting away with it. I am slowly falling out of love with God and Jesus.

Just met my name doppelgänger male version. My parents had a name for a boy, but switched it up when they had me. Met a guy who has the name I would’ve had. Kinda cool.

I hate having the kind of job where if we’re not busy enough, our manager reaches across the aisle to see if other managers need help with something. She just can’t stand for us to be idle. I miss being treated like an adult. Work ebbs and flows. Just let it and let us enjoy the ebbs.

She hasn’t heard back and is now wondering if there’s anything I’m working on in the meantime. Why does it matter? If she’s waiting and has nothing herself for me, what exactly is she going to do if I say nothing? I don’t need her dreaming up things. I’m resourceful enough on my own. 😩
