Merry Christmas all - and I had radiation today so was SO close to Sylvia (the machine broke down yesterday.)  Chris and Lexie are here,  That says it all,  I am overwhelmed and just want to go to bed,  They got in last night at 4 am so we are opposite sleep schedules.  They want to watch a movie and I want to go to bed and watch some BTS,

Happy days

A cat ? A dog? Most likely a fluffy dog.

A floof! Which can be any fluffy animal.

No seriously, that's how my days go at work... there's always something breaking down. But my clinic has 11 of the same machine, so patients just get transferred to one that's working, instead of canceled for the day

Happy Holidays ladies!

 

I'm alone at home with my two buns, just enjoying a quiet morning/brunch. I made myself some crepes and splashed tonnes of Nutella on each of them. I'm probably gonna do some cleaning after to make myself useful while I can. And maybe even pick up writing again later and make use of the skills I developed while writing my own fanfic on AO3 - see if that could potential serve me as a minimal income. Being unemployed while having a chronic illness is not it, I tell ya 

 

Things I want to say: Taehyung needs to know that Weverse ads tend to be longer than his lives. Someone has to tell that boy....

 

JK in that tiny silky robe on AYS is doing my head in. Jimin too, but you know, JK is my boo and pretty much the only man I'd accidentally lose my clothes for.  Thanks demisexuality! (does this belong in our private group chat? I think it does. Sorry!)

 

I'm seeing a lot of people on X getting emails from Weverse from orders that were placed during Black Friday, informing them that it was cancelled due to being out of stock. I swear whoever works as the distribution centre for them is ridiculously incompetent. Have we gotten too used to the likes of Amazon and local post where you can get International shipments within days? Are the long waiting times something typical in Korea? Do they accept orders and THEN start fabricating the item in question? I just don't get it. Is only one person working there to cause such delays? 

 

I recently saw a tiktok of Reuters interviewing the CEO of Weverse. Let's just say the comments were anything but positive feedback (including mine). They talked about moderating comments during lives, AI translations and how the shop orders are handled.

 

I'm amazed at how quickly Hybe Boy uploads stuff on youtube as soon as there are news about the guys. Obviously he does this full time, but like... how does he not have executive disfunction? I would need hours to talk myself into starting to record anything

Merry Christmas to all -

And, yes, I truly believe that they don't put an order in for merchandise at the Weverse Shop until it's ordered. THis is the wrong way to do it.  Duh.  I was oonce, ever so long ago, in catalog sales ehici relies on projected sales - there are formulas to us.  Someone does research on how many of something will sell, and what sizes and colors, and then orders anywhere from 60-80% to have stock on hand when something is offered.  There will also be a "back-up"order for an additional 20-40% that can be activated whenever.  Sizing can be tricky but it's something one learns... I dont know who they have working for them, but clearly no one whoever worked in online sales of any kind.

 

@Whoopiewoop - Good that you're writing again.  God knows, ity;s hard to get motivated, Especially in pain.  I have been given, I swear, at least three dozen different ideas for me to go make money to supplement my paltry monthly amount so I can stop worrying about having to sell the house and have enough for emergencies.  Nearly everyone is impractical or doesn't take into account my age or what I did do when working - it's not like there are research geologist joibs just popping upo.  All research positions are taken by grad students.  I know this.  I have never been an administrator.  I can't type much as the carpel tunnel makes digital manipulation painful or impossible.  I am not going to stand at the front of Walmart on a schedule, greeting other people (nor would i be able to stand long)

I am going the animal route,  I can take care of dogs and cats (and bunnies and even birds)..  i can administer medication and walk dogs.  Sometimes people will have kitties who require twice a day insulin but don't want to crate them at the vet when they leave town.   I can do this.  The biggest obstacle at present is recovering from all the surgery and radiation.  And I have Korea - but may need to hold off one trip a year or something.  And then there is just getting my name out there to a clientele who can afford me.  My sister can get $100 a day for checking in on cats.  But that's Boston, and she already knew a thousand people whose kids went to the private school her boys went to.  As I recover from this next sirgery, I'll work on gettiing a "resume" for online stuff., There is Rover but they take a lot of the money - but one can make a separate agreement with an animal owner once there is a relationship.  Sounds daunting, really.  And I still don't have Bella hone....

 

And dealing with Chris - who I haven't had a moment alone with - and the chaotic wife.  Evidently, it is not considered good taste to ask for money directly from people, even if you know them well.  I don't feelI'm desperate enough to do a go fund me, but I'd like to.  And there are others havibgm ore difficult times.

Enough grim ness for today.

Lexie has Alexa playing obnoxious Christmas music.  I could puke.

Well, guess here is the answer to the why he lost all the muscles🫤. Hope his shoulder heals.

Oh cool, your a published ao3 author, nice😎. If you can, pick it up. Writing fanfic is a great exercise and you know, there are quite a few stories who were once fanfics and turned into successful books.

But please, never post something you don't intent to finish😅🙏.

 

Sadly, I have such a bad writers block (can you even call it a block when it's been like 5 or 6years?😑). I can formulate everything in my head, it plays like a movie, but as soon as I want to get it on paper - nothing, suddenly don't know how to express it and my motivation is just gone. I even no longer know what my writing style is! It sucks, cause I loved writing stories since forever. Never posted something cause never finished a story and I hate it when a favorite fanfic never sees their end, but have two original stories/books fully layed out. My goal is to get one of them finished.....we will see if it ever happens😅.

This guy is amazing. Yes, having worked as a translator must help, but still. Really thankful what he does for us fans.

put a bts Christmas playlist on, perfect combination 😉🎄😎

 

And sorry, but I think if you talk openly about your situation with your relatives, you shouldn't even need to ask for financial help, but offered it by them. Just my opinion....

[Faithyu]

And I just watched the sbs gayo performances. 

Yeonjun slayed his performance but I think there was something wrong with their in ears or mics during the group performance.....

Anyway, that's not really my "concern". It's more that I hope they did a comeback spoiler with the trophy and the crown and it was not meant as a spoiler for a potential kingdom series.... Cause after seeing that Ateez performed their legendary wonderland stage, which they did during kingdom, my brain went into full alert modus.

I tried searching for it and couldn't find if there are plans for a new season next year, but if there are and TXT takes part - I will scream, and not in a good way. This show is for rookie groups or groups that aren't that well known and hope for a bigger reach.

So please, let it just be a comeback spoiler......

People who consider it bad taste have a) never had to face a difficult situation themselves where they're left between a rock and a hard place and therefore lack complete empathy or b) have faced a difficult moment and they had no one to turn to to ask for help for xyz reason so they're unfortunately, bitter and hate it when other people get the help that they needed in the past. Eitherway, they should be ignored.

 

During this time, I have come to learn that people who know you, are more than willing to help if they can if you're honest about how bad things are. People who I've worked with over 7 years ago while at Booking.com have chipped in and I might have had 5 non-work related conversations with them in total. And I will also be forever grateful to them, including the people in here who have helped me out 💜

 

I'd say create a Go Fund me, Barbara. Ask people to share it on their socials and get the ball rolling. Especially your son who must have an interesting network in his line of work. You have the advantage of the US being massive. I've seen other campaigns based in there, and could see how much easier it actually is for people in need to get donations there. The only thing it takes is to get the ball rolling with a few $5 donations and the rest will come as long as you keep sharing. Hell, I have seen people with TSW there getting their $5k and more to go to Thailand for CAP treatment.

That's easier said than done. Sometimes they want to offer but their own situation doesn't allow it. My dad has offered to help, and he has sent me some money but I can't leech off of him anymore than this because I know how difficult it is to just gather £50 for him being in Argentina. Of course, most of Barbara's family is in the US (I assume), but if the relationship is not there or their financial situation isn't good for them either, then there is no point in speaking up and it ends up being more of a guilty feeling for her than relief of finally getting some breathing room.

Mine is still ongoing. There have definitely been some up and downs. Not so much because of writer's block but more because of life kicking me in the ovaries, like now. I want to finish it. Now that I have all this time while I'm applying to jobs I need to give it a real go. It's always been kind of a dream to earn a living as a writer. Back in school I always used to get full scores when we had to write something for our Literature classes and I even made my professor cry once when I read the story out loud to the class. Proudest moment of my life 😂

 

Keep working on those stories of yours. For me, writing while I posted at the same time has helped me make it an actual responsibility. Especially with all the kudos and comments I would get. They hype one up and it makes you want to keep on writing for the 5 souls who leave comments lol
