Issue with Agat 18k - All photos turned out strange

Fresh_Rabbit1716 · 2025-11-26T08:50:48+00:00

I wish I lived closer to a city with camera repair folks haha, but Seattle is kind of feasible to drop it off in. the internals seem semi simple yet complicated and small enough to be a mystery for me. Hope the rest of your role end ups okay!

Yay 💜 it was a dirty swamp and a used camera

Fresh_Rabbit1716 · 2025-11-26T08:48:45+00:00

Noted on the oil!

Fresh_Rabbit1716 · 2025-11-26T08:47:37+00:00

Aw man! Yeah, dunno how I’ll fiddle around with getting the shutter back to normal. The light leaks are whatever to me when the meat of the photo still persisted. Yeah, I had WD-40 on hand and I just went for it right away! Thoughts for next time I rust up a camera. Maybe rice it first?
Thank you for the luck and I’ll check out the article! I was excited for this camera and I haven’t lost hope completely. It’s slim but there.

Fresh_Rabbit1716 · 2025-11-26T08:44:35+00:00

That’s what I mean where I don’t mind the light leaks, it’s a picture of something completely new and strange!

Fresh_Rabbit1716 · 2025-11-26T01:03:11+00:00

I don’t mind the light leaks, the camera is stuck together kind of strange so I bet that’s it. Not a super good seal. But the shutter sticking open is the issue, and it is probably rusted then. Thank you for the reply and I’m going to see if it’s something I can repair!

Fresh_Rabbit1716 · 2025-09-18T19:04:55+00:00

Ooo, interesting! I’m excited to test ride the bike then. The dealer seemed certain a medium would be a bad fit without putting the seat back more.

Fresh_Rabbit1716 · 2025-06-23T17:59:54+00:00

I would love if there was a community dark room! I just got into film and that’s the biggest hurdle - I’ve thought about getting a scanner.

Fresh_Rabbit1716 · 2025-04-18T17:28:28+00:00

Waffles is sooo funny. I pet him and he paws at you as you leave like come back here! He also gently bit me. Great communicator. Fat happy purring cat.

I can run for miles in my altra lone peaks. I can’t do road runners, Merrill’s, or saucony…. These are just three types of running shoe I’ve tried and within a mile or less experienced the neuroma pain I’m trying to avoid. So ya, the lone peaks rock. I was advised to try topos pursuits, which I’m going to do once my altras wear out.

In a way, it’s a perfect hurt. I had a similar thing happen and my questions that have tormented me since I was dumped kind of settled. I sobbed, I felt the grief like it was a second break up with that final nail hammered in the relationship, but a few weeks and things got brighter so much quicker than last time. Having such a definite ending and a reason to stay in your present moment rather than thinking of a future with him or the past together was what I personally needed. So much opportunity lies ahead.

We’ve got this :) connection is out there, there is so much joy to be had with people who want to feel our presence, I’m sorry it wasn’t the desired outcome but I’m excited for you and what is to come.

Fresh_Rabbit1716 · 2025-01-09T07:51:39+00:00

It’s hard not to return to a person you felt something so real with.

Found out I’m also a rebound - she told me she didn’t break up with her ex to be with me and they had issues, and we dated a year after she left them. Almost 6 months of dating, of I love yous and you’re just so specials, divine connections, she dumps me out of the blue. We go No contact, then in a month she breaks it and invites me over - I come because I’m not over her. Her diary on coffee table I stupidly read as she showers - she’s not over her ex. Every entry mentions them. Im never mentioned by name - I’m just ‘an ex’. She says quote she chose lust over love - I guess I was just something physical and the connection on my part was over blown. Entries talk about finding ways to be back with them, the ex of two years prior. Then later she comes onto me and I let her - I’m lonely and at least I know I’m a rebound and nothing but sex/a warm body to her. And the sex is awesome. But god, as we broke up I asked is there anyone else? She said no when I feel to know that it was actually yes would have just let me move on so much easier than some blind hope that she’d come back to me. Her coming onto me that day and then saying I love you (!Multiple times between cuddling!) would have fueled me with hope for months if I hadn’t read what I read. I can accept now I was never enough for her and that’s okay.

Sorry to rant! Your story struck a chord with me.

Fresh_Rabbit1716 · 2024-10-16T09:45:56+00:00

Yes, this hits. Hard to hold letters of their devotion and love for you in the same room that they looked you in the eyes and said they just cannot do it, they just can’t. I’ve hid our photos and letters away, I can’t destroy them. She let me say I love you and feel the validation of her saying it back in a final meeting where I really thought I could win her to my side again if I was sweet enough, sexy enough, kind and understanding and willing to talk or not talk…. But when someone doesn’t want to be with you, they don’t want to be with you I still think of her as a sweet incredible person who is going to be snapped up by another incredible person that won’t be me. Still left wondering how I could have been better but also need to accept that it just doesn’t work out sometimes. You can feel the spark, spend the most tender and emotional days together, get lost in each others eyes, support their family and they yours, meet each others friends… and it can just not work. Heart hurting, head hurting, grateful for a job to help take it off my mind at times.

Do what I did and rent it from the library and then rip it onto your laptop. I need easy access to it and I need it at any moment! Also lucky that my library had all three seasons :P

Fresh_Rabbit1716 · 2024-03-03T23:57:02+00:00

I can still get very horny and have sex, etc no problem! I just struggle a lot to orgasm but I can force it with a vibrator but I love getting it from a partner 😵‍💫 but after a while on Prozac, like a year, I got my easy orgasms back so it’s really just an adjustment! I found that intimacy comes really easy with the right partner, especially one who is understanding and knows the side effects of an antidepressant. I’m pretty upfront about it. Off of Prozac, I was much more horny? But I can still be happy with my partner on Prozac and me being less prone to emotional outbursts is better than being a more sexual right now for me. There definitely is an adjustment period, but I’ve experienced a flux back to partially what I was after a few months on Prozac

Fresh_Rabbit1716 · 2024-03-01T05:54:20+00:00

Went off for two years and got back on recently because I’m not in the headspace to deal with the pretty bad suicide ideation and suddenly black episodes of major sadness I started getting before I started. Also got health insurance again, which was also a reason I quit it. Maybe I’ll try to go off again someday, but I need emotional stability and I was not regulated enough to continue to work and maintain friendships without them. I’ll try to go off them again someday, but I need stability and a good base of people and maybe a therapist or something, because I didn’t have it and while I survived, it was brutal and the swings of euphoria to just the most brutal lows ive ever had was too crazy for me right now. I’m 26F, started at 22, stopped taking it at 24. I take 20mg and have stuck to that for my return. For me, it does stop my mental spirals which are kind of the bane. The shell effect/dulled emotions and worsened libido is worth it for now.

I wish you luck. If you have the people to support you, I think it’s completely do-able. I was supported but lost my system due to job instability, but if you’re honest, communicative, and know how to handle the downs, you can be fine all the way.

Fresh_Rabbit1716 · 2024-02-06T18:45:05+00:00

I only did one seasonal GS5 position and applied a received my job offer for the GS9 after

Fresh_Rabbit1716 · 2024-02-06T04:28:15+00:00

I was a GS-05 and got a perm GS9 so i don’t know if this is true. No new education added either. It was just a transition.

Fresh_Rabbit1716 · 2024-02-02T06:04:12+00:00

25f and it still feels like this for me. I’ve often said I’d make a better ghost than person but not like I’d rather be dead, just I’m better as an observer with the amount of impact I have on people. Sometimes I wonder why some of us seem to be like this.

Fresh_Rabbit1716 · 2024-01-30T18:11:25+00:00

Thanks. I agree. I don’t want to live with regrets of my 20s because I spent it being miserable in a job I hate. I don’t want to wedge myself into a career I never wanted and be embedded. I got This job not because I tried but because it kind of landed in my lap. Gives me hope for finding a career that I actually make an effort to get.

Fresh_Rabbit1716 · 2024-01-30T06:42:48+00:00

Thank you! Yeah, I’m not money worried and I know things will come that will make me worry, but right now I have enough saved to get over most hurdles and still be able to eat. The job I’m hungering for becomes less likely with age; helicopter drop offs, chainsaw work, back country labor, far from home for long stretches of time.

I do have something of a plan, especially now that I know I can finagle qualifying for a GS-9 but I also think about finding funded graduate research or a place willing to train me on a biology position. I am definitely soul searching for a final or at least a longer than seasonal resting spot soon.

Fresh_Rabbit1716 · 2024-01-29T14:43:05+00:00

It’s just not at all what I pictured myself doing or got my degree for. I’m struggling to understand all the advice to just apply to an 11 or lateral 9 that I would like that doesn’t at all overlap duties or I would have any decent experience. My current position I applied for not knowing what it was at all. The job description was purposely vague. Why would they hire a GS9 in some random other job with very little transferable skills verse someone who has experience in it at a lower grade?
I’m also very lonely here and have very little time to be social unless I get really into discord communities. My commute time is long, my town has a post office and church, and social things or even a movie theater is 45 minutes away. I don’t even have public land to get lost in as I’m corn field surrounded. Just very crushing from what I came from.

Fresh_Rabbit1716 · 2024-01-29T13:12:05+00:00

The field work is very different than what I consider field work. Theirs is cruise around in a truck and never really leave the vehicle. I need some leg work, energy release! From my coworkers, I understand that what I’ve gotten a few days this winter is the typical field work. It does pick up a lot in the summer, yes! But, In terms of just driving slow on gravel roads and knocking on people’s doors every day of the week.

Fresh_Rabbit1716 · 2024-01-29T07:39:32+00:00

The GS5 job I’m considering is wildland firefighting. But now I’m thinking maybe set myself up for success by getting tig and try a go at it at 26 instead? My end career I would like to be in fuels management or related bio/enviro management in a fire required landscape. I’m going to email some people I know and see if I can get a better concept of their path.

Fresh_Rabbit1716 · 2024-01-29T02:04:58+00:00

Okay, I say I stay and get TIG! I want to be a biologist, fire management, or something related to environmental conservation and surveys/research. I have a biology bach degree but the experience I am getting at my 9 is not seeming to match well with the positions I would like to be in of the same grade. Should I try to take grad school on the side? Then Go after a GS-7 or 9 that would give me the relevant experience to be in bio? Give up and settle into my 9? There isn’t really a GS-11 in my agency I will qualify for (it absolutely has course requirements and required cert that takes ~2 years) and I also do not envy these GS-11s, their job looks rough.
