over the past few weeks i’ve managed to go from working one to five days a week at a restaurant. the work is fast-paced and physically and emotionally draining but i haven’t felt this good in months. i don’t even particularly like my job but i feel so much better than when i’m unemployed and i don’t think it’s even about the money. i just need a reason to get up even if it’s just clearing tables and making lattes for people i’m in the world and i’m making it turn slowly with my own two hands

I feel the same way! I don't think I could ever work from home because I need the movement and interaction and "doing things" that comes with an in-person job

Work

It’s been killing me lately. I’ve been best down and dragged these past few months, but listen, I am so grateful to be doing SOMETHING. I just tell myself that it’s a blessin to have a job and to have a skill that will always have me employed. I wake up every morning dragging my ass and complaining but I’m so happy that I complain because I have a place to go where people depend on me. Life man gotta love it while you in it.

Career changes

I’ve been working in the service industry for like 13 years and nightlife for over 5. I decided in 2019 to go back to school and this past December I graduated. I just got a part time gig in my field but the pay is really good and I can finally see myself getting out of working 9-4am.
The last three years have been the hardest of my life and when I tell you I SOBBED after I got this fucking part time job. I’ve never had a desk job so I’m incredibly nervous but so excited. Anything is possible! I don’t believe in my career being my life but I do believe in having a job that doesn’t make you not want to be alive!

GENUINE HUMAN CONNECTION

i just made my pi.fyi account yesterday and i’m so warmed by how eager everyone is to chat with strangers to engage in sharing their little positive moments with one another. i finally get why everyone yearns for the myspace era

TORTA GENOVESA

tried this cake for the first time after making it for my bf’s birthday and it’s awesome. apparently a colombian staple that‘s pretty much a tres leches cake w chocolate shavings and cherries on top. sopping wet with condensed milk and cream. delightful
(note: there is not one english recipe for it online so if u are not hispanophone and want to replicate it u will need to use google translate very carefully or phone a friend)

sweetened condensed milk

i have no idea why milk isn't a valid flavor for treats like it is in china (see white rabbit candy). we always treat it like a neutral base ingredient to impose other flavors upon but it's totally a flavor all on its own!
i've been drizzling it over my waffles and cereal and ice cream instead of maple syrup and nobody can stop me
