Thanks! Next I get to draw a DINOSAUR, so I’m pretty stoked about that.

Painting!

I love therapy. It has made what would otherwise have been a hellish summer and fall significantly easier to deal with. My anxiety is SO MUCH BETTER than it was this time last year with fewer stressers (thanks for those, Trump).

That sucks :( was it ok in the end?

I have negotiated a tenuous peace for them between them and the Evil Tyrant who likes to knock them (aka my cat). It’s about all I could manage. They do get to hang out in a particularly sunny window (which is probably what started the war, come to think of it...)

I snapped at a particularly shitty student today and kicked him out of my class. I am now giving myself excessive anxiety over losing my job or getting arrested (lol anxiety, never change), nevermind that my boss told me he spoke to the student and backed me up 100%, nevermind that he’s a problem child on his last…

I have degrees in history and English and have never had an issue finding work. I find that people who assume your degree = career have no understanding of what a college degree is actually for and what it demonstrates to employers.

I finished three projects at one of my jobs, and got a new, awesome project. At my other job, we got rid of a really awful tutor student who basically sat there and glared for 6 hours. Also, I got to go to Ikea after work and managed to not overspend for once :D

I’ve noticed that a lot of conservatives spend a lot of time thinking about how liberals will react to their behavior. I have to say, as a liberal, I honestly never consider how conservatives will react to anything I do. It must be exhausting to be them.

“On a more shallow note: I’m still thinking about that purple dress she wore to the SAG awards last year. I’m not usually into femme women but between that and her in those glasses in Hidden Figures.....she makes my brain melt.”

I like Casefile for true crime. The Weeds is a great policy/politics podcast that does deep dives on a lot of interesting issues. The Cracked Podcast and the Cracked Movie podcast are both really great.

I don’t know! The best part is that I am FUNCTIONALLY USELESS TO THEM. I know where the galleries are for the things I work on, but it’s a big museum, and I am not trained as a docent, so I (usually) can’t help them any way. Even though the walls only go up 8 feet or so, we pretend that we can’t hear them. Petty?…

This will probably out me, but I work at a museum that has publically facing conservation labs. Without fail, at least a couple times a week, people tap on the glass, despite NUMEROUS SIGNS telling them to NOT FUCKING DO THAT. I AM WORKING. I HAVE CHEMICALS AND SCALPELS AND PRICELESS ART THAT I AM WORKING ON. DO. NOT.…

I work in conservation, but did some curatorial work prior. I would not recommend a museum studies masters, especially if you want to do curatorial work. To actually get anywhere as a curator, you need, at minimum a master’s, preferably in art history or a related field. Realistically, you’ll eventually need to get a…

He could try I suppose. VP isn’t that great of a job to begin with, so he’d have to really work at it. Plus, Pence’s presence is one of the few things assuaging the fears of GOP establishment types. If he leaves, it would be a shit show. Ultimately, Pence knows how close he is to the main job. The odds that he will…

His brother looks the same way. I’m between Nick and Aaron chronologically, yet they both look about 10 years older than me. Drugs and alcohol man, they quite the agers.

He probably had it for a while. It’s also something of a misconception that life insurance doesn’t cover suicide. If someone holds a policy for a number of years (the actual number varies between policies), then the policy will pay out. The suicide rule is to prevent a person from buying a policy and immediately…

Oh man, I thought I was the only one! Sparkling mineral water is now my drink of choice. I mean, I guess it’s cheaper than booze and it’s better for me?

Right? Isn’t there some nice young Middle Eastern 20ish year old kid who can sing, dance and act? Wouldn’t he love a break? I think the story sells itself, especially if they cast big name actors as the Genie and Jafaar.

I agree with everything you wrote, and would add
