souvenir pop is finally here and the album release tour is fast approaching with the first gigs already being in less than a week! who’s excited?

the joblr discord is planning meet-ups for some of the gigs and we have launched channels for each individual gig so that you’re able to discuss stuff related to those gigs with fellow concert-goers

all you need to do is join the discord here (please tell me if the link is expired so i'll update it), read the rules and claim your roles from the claim-your-role channel and you should be able to view the channels for the gigs you’ve chosen!

the discord is a general joker out tumblr community server and it’s open to all tumblr users, so even if you’re missing the concerts on this tour, you are still welcome to join our little community :) keep in mind that the server adheres to the principles for a safer space so let’s keep it a safe place and respect each other 🫶

Vaguely inspired by this post by @khihi

Today marks week 3 of what I still call my new job because the first two weeks have been mostly training. Those first two weeks felt like a breeze but last Saturday I was finally sent to my semi-permanent location. I do not know if it was the low sleep time, the oncoming monthly terror, or the shift in weather, but I went home feeling quite dour. I didn’t feel like I meshed with the co-workers on this site like I did with literally every other location I had been at. The immediate brusqueness of the environment (perceived or actual) was very jarring. I’m also dealing with the slight annoyance of that feeling when you start working somewhere right after their pay week so you’re kind of putting in the hours without seeing the reward yet. And boy, have they been working me.

When I was trying to find information on the real day to day details of the job there wasn’t much helpfulness so I’m trying my best to document in case anyone should ever stumble on posts related to Library Assistants.

College attempt 1: No real motivation, GenEd classes, academic probation exit

Work, Misc. Hate it. (warehouses, mail sorting, waitressing, retail)

Work, Recreation, it’s okay, not super into it.

Work, Recreation, like the commute, a little more into it, start getting promotions and responsibilities, really don’t like the higher-higher-up's though. It feels mutual.

Pandemic!

College attempt 2: What pays decent and lets me work from home? Coding.

College graduation 1: Really like coding, actually.

Work (Now): Library position, 14 years in the making. Super happy.
