EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE

I promise. Doing it scared will you give you the best results in the end. I’m learning to step more out of my comfort zone this year, and so far I’m proud of myself.
Excellent advice! One of my former bosses used to ask questions: “What’s the worse that can happen? Someone is going to die? Are you going to set off an atomic bomb? Is someone going to hit you with a hammer over the phone?”
I have to make two phone calls I don’t really want to make (to my bank and to Canadian Revenue Agency), ugh they are not going to hit me with a hammer, and yet… 😓
too lazy to retype this but . insane interaction w coworker last night
tell me you have never worked in customer service without telling me you've never worked in customer service
My customer service persona has its own accent.
Unrelated but when I worked for Pizza Hut I used to answer calls in a British accent because it was the accent that sold the most pizza and raised my docket averages lol
Me when I remember something I said ages ago that was wrong or my values no longer align with
Happiness Will Come To You.
when tho
When You Least Expect It. Probably Late March
reblog for happiness to come for you in late march!
I reblogged this last year and I hung out with blink-182 backstage on March 30. Reblogging again because it worked the first time.
honestly, last year one of the best days of my life happened in late March
YOU KNOW WHAT’S HAPPENING IN LATE MARCH THIS YEAR?????
Too many of you conceptualize trans men as having access to all the advantages of cis womanhood and cis manhood combined, when the reality is that most of us just see the disadvantages of failed manhood and failed womanhood combined
All trans people are Schroedinger's Gender. You are simultaneously both and also neither male and female, man and woman, depending on what they feel would hurt you most at the time. This can change day to day, hour to hour, even minute to minute.
Examples:
Trans woman who is told she can't change her gender marker on her ID, takes off her shirt in a parking lot to change and is arrested for public indecency for her female-presenting nipple exposure, and is currently housed in a men's prison. What gender is she? The gender that hurts her the most at the time. Both and yet neither. Because fuck you that's why.
Trans man who requests to compete in boys' wrestling, forced to compete with the girls instead. Punished for "flashing" his bottom growth while taking a shower in the locker room. School's parents want him kicked out of sports because he keeps winning by a *lot* when he wrestles the girls, saying it's not fair to make the girls compete in strength with his testosterone. During yet another meeting where he requests to wrestle the boys, he's yet again denied *despite this* because he's a girl. Eventually beaten up by the boys at school mad that he's thrashing their girlfriends. Boys justify it by saying it's okay to hit him because he's not "really" a girl. What gender is he? Whatever gender he can be punished with at the time. Both and yet neither. Because fuck you that's why.
I didn't pull these out of my head. They're real people, real transgender stories I've been told either through news or firsthand accounts.
