Bleh
What a bullshit day at work.
A lot of the specifics are difficult or uninteresting to explain. But my manager and I spent more than four hours sorting out scheduling stuff into November, which was tedious. Then we found out an issue where the staff of another center somehow started misunderstanding the age requirements for something, which has resulted in a lot of missing paperwork, and some kids who've gone to the DMV and not had stuff that was required. We don't know the extent of the issue, just that it IS one, because we're already seeing some of the end results. But we have a lot to sort through to try and get ahead of anything else and get it fixed. One of the drivers had 13 tests and 9 of them failed. Typically about 80% pass, so that also sucked.

Taylor quit their shitty job! I'm really glad and proud of them for it. The job was a good one in a lot of ways, since it paid well and had decent benefits. But also had an expectation that 50-60+ hour workweeks are the norm, and on-call weekends that necessitate immediate response to the point that they weren't able to leave the house for so much as a walk or an errand. And the pressure has only gotten worse over the last months.
I ran to the store after work and bought them some cupcakes as a celebration, haha.

The morning also started off annoying because I went to try and catch up on one of my fandom discords... and there was a fairly long thread bashing a different part of the fandom.
(Not even a "rival" ship, since it doesn't include any of the same characters. But the ship that was for a time one of the most popular in the fandom has been a target of a TON of "anti" sentiments, including that it's "basically incest" because they think these unrelated characters interact in a familial way, and that there's a "problematic" age gap, despite their ages in canon being pretty vague.
And of course no one should feel the need to ship something they don't like, or if they like a different dynamic between characters. But the complaints never stick to "I don't like this." It's always about how disgusting people are for shipping it, and how DARE people view the relationship that way, or that there's "no excuse" for the fandom not to "have its shit together and know shipping that isn't okay".
Ship or don't ship what you want, but attacking other members of fandom for petty ship drama is the toxic shit that makes me not want to "do" fandom.
I like reading and writing fic, but I get so burned out on that kind of shit.)
