Entry 8 - November 8 2024
Nov. 8th, 2024 06:25 amPuss in Boots 1 & 2 are excellent additions to Feline Lore and wonderful movies.
Ahem.
Yesterday was a stay-at-home day. I worked all day basically. I didn't make my word count but I edited, revised, and strategized the manuscript. I'm nervous about how late I am meeting certain checkpoints but October was hell for many reasons so I'm forgiving myself and let's hope the readers forgive me too.
Mom is still home sick. She stayed in her room mostly watching election-themed brain rotting youtube, but cooked some more potfish yesterday which was nice and tasty.
I started knitting amigurumi for the first time. Usually I crochet for that, but I figured why the hell not try double points instead of the hook. I started a little pink elephant. She's just a little pink blob right now.
In the evening Denia messaged me about the drama going on at work. Long story short she got into business with a married couple 3-4 years ago, and she does most of the work while they do nothing and refuse to pay her. The business is popular and successful entirely thanks to her. Most don't know the hot mess going down behind the scenes. The business partners have no respect for local people and they treat them like dirt. It's racism and probably a lot of other -isms (the wife is from England, the husband is one of the local lightskinned "Up North" people). I could write paragraphs on these two but somebody would put me on a list.
Khem has no patience anymore, he says D just wants to complain and won't do what she needs to do, i.e take legal action. The accounts are handled by the wife, and the company finances are under the husband's name. Half the shit they are pulling could never fly in America. I am convinced they are stealing the money from the business. A common practice here and why so many businesses go under.
Yesterday they sent D a nasty letter about her "behavior" and I'm just wondering what it will take for her to get a pair and start standing up for herself. Yelling is not standing up for yourself.
I don't want my friend to lose something she's devoted years to building but it was never hers in the first place, and getting money is more important, obviously! She could start her own business and do very well for herself.
What else?
I wonder how the economy will fare once Orange takes power. Last night I had a dream I was trying to escape Putin's agents in the Hogwarts basement.
Back to my pink elephant.
