I’m just here my dudes. Anime fan, fan of different books, considered ancient by online standards, comfort food cooker & enthusiast, reader, very bad at video games and other things!
Had an inmate who is visiting family here in the US but originally from Oz call into central control and ask us, “I need more shit tickets, please, if you don’t mind” and I’m still laughing.

He managed to bond out on minor “drunk and disorderly” charges but goddamn my shift and I adored him.

Sooooo I’ve gone back into #corrections. But I feel like I’ve renewed myself, and the reason I left wasn’t inmates. It was the ppl I worked with. But a lot of them have left in the meantime, and the Sgt I’m under now is a fellow officer who prioritizes treating people like people and…

So I have a question…

Is calling one of your elders Mr or Ms (first name) after the person has asked you to not call them by Mr/Ms Lastnname a Southeastern US thing or nah??

Going back into corrections. Didn’t think I’d do it again but in my area I can’t beat the pay and benefits…

Argh. Found out about Tim right after Dolly and it’s been a rough couple of days. Legit didn’t mourn my own mother’s death this hard. Last few were Michael Jackson, Chadwick Boseman, Aretha Franklin, and Johnny Cash, tbh.

Dolly? For real? Fucking hell, man. :’(

Apparently it’s weird to be a person (a female even, in my case!) who shaves their head and DOESN’T pamper themselves with steam, hot towels, etc, when shaving our heads. At least where I’m from.

Omg I’m super into going out for a burger and ice cream. Might take the dad out for an ice cream date soon!

My BESTO FRIENDOS!! I finally bought a pair of non-work pants after having them literally assigned to me (lol corrections and those dusty 5.11’s), and oh man. Being exclusively dresses or skirts outside of work has been an EXPERIENCE.

Not a bad one. Just something that feels kinda new and weird.

Das and I went to a concert last night! While we had to leave the venue before the final act got onstage (chronic health issues for us both cropping up), we still listened to them for several songs while sitting in my car in the parking lot. Still had fun.

I remember why I haven’t gone to any…

Oh goodness, is it just ME or is it just us in the queer scentospehere (omg did I discover a new term or am I just a bulldyke who discovered something hella late) who can find a certain scent that dominated our world in a weird time capsule??

Holy guacamole I’m so glad the new restrictions on what SNAP/EBT will cover hasn’t reached my area yet.

I hate that a friend and I can be discussing mixed drinks/cocktails/mocktails and I have to double-check that I’m spelling the glass type as “tumbler” as opposed to “Tumblr.” Gods, I don’t miss that shitshow of a website.

Was gonna make a cabbage and chickpea soup but ALAS the cabbage I already had in the fridge has gone off. Sadness.

Ughhhh. Feeling a bit beaten down today. Living with and caring for a parent in early stages of #dementia isn’t for the weak. I’m off of my meds bc I need to get an appointment and hope our local county grant and local offices will cover my continued mental health issues as they did before.

I was finally scheduled an opening shift!! We got our truck in today and my goal for myself was to get all of the dry goods stocked/put into back stock if needed, and by gum we did it, aside from one box of garbage bags. 😆 All of truck was done and the back room cleaned up for closing shift.

Ngl I miss having health insurance because the GLP-1 I was on helped with my #chronicmigraines SO MUCH!! Alas. I just gotta keep up with this job and complete my medical records degree, and hope for the best in the meantime.

I’m glad I made the decision to stockpile my meds ahead of time tho. 😂😂

Seeing former inmates out and about living their best lives, and also being able to talk to family members of inmates freely to know how they’re doing is part of what makes me not regret spending time working in corrections.

Don’t get me wrong, I didn’t let folks walk all over me. BUT I also …

My future makeup will only channel Ursula vibes bc she’s the HBIC as far as I’m concerned

Diabetic-friendly lemonade + not so diabetic-friendly grenadine + cute glassware = fancy #mocktail!

It is disconcerting to head out to work at a job I can actually walk or ride a bicycle to. O_o

Maybe it’s the Southerner in me but whenever I see coleslaw without celery seed I just go 🤨🤨🤨

Three days of training, then I officially start my new job on Thursday!

Alas, this means six straight days of work with half of those being 12 hour shifts.
