My girlfriends brother just saw a condom wrapper in my car, we didn’t mention it and acted like it didn’t happen but damn that was embarrassing.
I was stressed out at the grocery checkout because the scanned items were coming in too fast. While packing my stuff I managed to throw an onion high in the air, ricocheting on some stand and hitting the cashier on the shoulder.
They said awkward, not impressive.
I missed the head.
I went to the St. Patrick’s Day parade and got the closest metaphorical equivalent to tomatoes thrown at me because I was the only one not wearing green.
Ketchup?
No, just people showing disdain. St. Patrick’s Day is a large celebration here and the momentum was enough that you could see nothing but green for miles. I thought it was just an enthusiastic expression, which I was no less festive about, so here I was coming in wearing pink because it’s just how it was arranged, and I got called out for “breaking the chain” (because on all broadcasts being the only pink wearer in a sea of green would identify me to you instantly), “not reading the room”, and “attention-seeking”, fandom-style. Had a guy from an actual Irish council later comment sympathetically saying those people are not “of our flock who prize blue anyways”.
My lease renewal typically gets tendered in mid-March, but ~5pm Friday I noticed that I still hadn’t gotten anything yet. Unfortunately, the office was closed for the next 2.5days while I nervously paced and fretted, wondering what had gone wrong, and whether I’d need to move soon (having a disability makes it a major ordeal).
Come Monday I met with my property manager, and she told me that the new mgmt company sends out renewals later than usual, and that I should be perfectly fine. Still, the new company doesn’t have a great reputation, and I have no idea how much they’re going to boost my rent. Sounds like a lot of people are getting gouged upon that these days, so fingers still crossed.
I don’t know, but I remembered this post now that something awkward did happen.
So my bank has this AI chatbot. I tried asking it if my bank still offers Visa gift cards which they did in the past. It couldn’t get my question right, after I said “no” to the question if it’s answer was right it hang for a few seconds and proceed to ask me to clarify my question, I just funnily responded with
:q!. After all, it’s just AI.
Then suddenly I got “bank agent joined the chat”. I didn’t realize there could be a person over there. Let alone at 11:50PM.
I wonder how many times when I started spamming a useless AI chatbot of some company there was an actual human seeing that.My employer’s recruiting dept sent me a LinkedIn message asking me to apply for my job. I have a role that isn’t multiplied across people. I told my boss that it happened and she rushed to assure me that we’ll have redundancy for the first time.
I’m still in the phase where I’m hoping that’s true while knowing that it’s better to quit than to be fired. I’ll discuss with my therapist today to decide. I know the right answer is to get out now.
I taught a physics class today without speaking
How did that work? Did you just write stuff on the board?
Yea. I teach a class of 30, the material for the day was very short (law of reflection), and they do group work afterwards. It was pretty funny for me, and awkward for them. Definitely a wtf is he doing kinda thing.
