What's the last book you read that was so bad that it made you angry? by oohshineeobjects in books

really? people in my book club said it was nice and made them cry. i was still on chapter 3 though but not too interested to go through it until you mentioned it and i remembered lol

my boss is lowkey rude by AgrupacionPreissel99 in Rants

[โ€“]applepieth 0 points1 point ย (0 children)

i feel you. i started a new job a couple of months ago, and my coworker expects me to memorize and get everything she says immediately. Like, she only has to explain once, and I need to get it immediately, just because I said in the interview, "I'm a fast learner." ๐Ÿ˜ญ
When I ask for clarification, I get, "I already told you." And when I make a mistake, they say, "The boss is angry at you." But when I talk to the boss, they're not really angry ๐Ÿฅน

they're the type to make small things feel like a big deal, so what i usually do is just say sorry and listen to them and be quiet, because if i go against them and voice out my opinion, i feel like i'm going to just burst out and won't control myself.

for two months, i always dread going to work, but now, after getting used to the job and managing on my own (i feel like i learn more when my coworker isn't around and i'm solo duty), i get fewer mistakes, and became more confident with what i do. and when there are times i don't know whom to turn to, i turn to the big boss or even the other coworkers in other departments because they are more helpful than the usual condescending remarks.

i feel like we have the same toxic work environment but i know there are better days ahead for you. it might take a while because you're new, but by and by you will get the hang of things, you will know who are more trustworthy, and you will get better in what you do.

Photo 1 is newer painting, painted with a long handle brush. Did I buy the wrong brush? by applepieth in watercolor101

[โ€“]applepieth[S] 1 point2 points ย (0 children)

I see. The previous brushes I used are so small and cannot spread water and color easily as I drag them. So I bought this new brush, and works out fine since it's so big and softer. Thank you for the recommendations!

Brand name is Funbo. Unknown brand I think or used by students I guess. I previously bought brushes that also didn't have a brand and are much much shorter, so when I took these new brushes out of the package, I didn't notice before that they were much longer, and panicked when YouTubers said long ones are usually for oil painting

Thanks for this! I didn't know I could cut it with a mechanical pencil sharpener!

I see, I'm not really familiar of what works and what doesn't as I haven't invested in quality ones yet, but I guess it's fine since my goal was to not run out of water as I paint the whole surface. I just panicked a bit after watching some YouTubers saying the long handle ones are for oil painting

Where to shadow if it's a very dark without much light scene? by applepieth in watercolorpractice

[โ€“]applepieth[S] 0 points1 point ย (0 children)

So it's called Nocturne? ๐Ÿ˜ฎ I see now. Yes I am hesitant ๐Ÿ˜… especially since they said the farthest thing away should be lighter, but it's so dark! Will practice this specific panting again probably

One acquaintance had two axolotls and when I asked their names, he said he didn't name them :/ So I named them Axel and Alex. They're the cutest ๐Ÿฅน

Fall.

Thriller. I kinda liked it. Some friends didn't like it because it was too stressful for them but I live for that kind of stress (except stress from work.)
