List of recent accomplishments

[flamingsword]

I rolled a 19 on my self-care dice list, so it’s time to do the thing.

• I stuck up for my right to be treated with affection and respect.
• I gave myself space and time to think hard thoughts about my relationship with my spouse.
• I let myself cry about the hard stuff going on multiple times.
• I made about 45% of a hooded duster and counting
• I helped two friends with packing, moving and organizing.
• I have gotten rid of so much stuff. Just an absolute crap ton of stuff.
• I waited on hold for more than 20 minutes in the worst hold-music-and-prerecorded-messages hell to finally talk to the Washington state licensing board. Hopefully I get to follow up on that tomorrow morning.
• I let myself lean on my friends and they’re pretty much all showing up for me. 🥹
• I petted a stray cat and she didn’t even hiss at me. #Blessed

I’ll stop there, that’s a good list.
[• also, I just threw $20 at Kamala’s election fund. I may do more later if money is not crazy tight next month.]

Congratulations on the accomplishments! A lot of really good stuff to be proud of. Wait music always seems to test my limits lmao... some of the most aggravating music playing, and always at the worst quality.

The hold music lasted less than a minute at a time before being interrupted by one of four pre-recorded messages in random order. And if that weren’t bad enough, sometimes there would be a click on the line like someone was answering before it would spit out the same prerecorded messages again. Madness!

I legitimately believe they do that intentionally to convince people to hang up. My new conspiracy theory.

I will wear the tinfoil hat for this one.

OMG 😱

That makes perfect sense actually, when you think about how call centers are incentivized...
