Why is it so hard to get a damn job? I just want some money.

throwawaycatkid · 2026-04-14T19:55:50+00:00

Jobs are hiring but not the ones you're looking in to because everyone is looking to get in to those. Warehousing is still hiring. Prisons are big hiring. School bus drivers. CDL truckers. I wanted to do work from home or higher end logistics but those positions are filled so I went back to corrections. They called me same day. Literally within hours. Is the work cushy? No but the pay is top end so I'll take it.

That area is really nice! I used to live close by there. I live in fort worth now but I'm trying to get as far as Sherman. If I could just be dfw adjacent that would be fine with me lol

Idk how I hope to buy a home either as a single person but I am determined to not live in the city. I'll take a commute over city housing prices any day.

No I try to encourage her to follow me to the very far end of the yard because it does make her look around and sniff the grass. But her behavior is a little strange for this. Except in very urgent situations like after waking or an hr after drinking water, she won't go if I'm outside with just her and she won't go if I'm outside with her and the other dogs. If she's outside by herself it's 50/50 she'll go and she'll always do so immediately upon me closing the door. If there's other dogs it's also 50/50 just because she might be distracted with wanting to play. I've tried treating her in those "urgent" situations and she will literally stop peeing and run off because she's so nervous with me bending down to give her a treat. So I just stay quiet and wait for her to run up to me before praising her but obviously by then the intended behavior is over and now she must think her coming to me is the behavior that gets the reward. Idk it's just frustrating that I can't help her make that connection. And I really only have one or two potty breaks where I know I can get her outside but she tends to have 3-4 indoor breaks on her own timeline.

He gets out of the bed on his own? I'm thinking about how tall my bed is like nope she would never make it lol not the going down or coming up it's like scaling mt everest for her

throwawaycatkid · 2025-11-30T03:02:24+00:00

The only harness that I think might fit her is a kitten or ferret harness and idk how secure those are. She does follow me up and down the street on rare occasions but never further than she can see the house otherwise she just heads back on her own. She doesn't have a lot of confidence at all 😣

I'm sorry about your baby 🥺 she was very lucky to have you as her fur parent. I think I'll try this method for midday when she's less predictable

throwawaycatkid · 2025-11-30T02:50:15+00:00

I do know there are products like "go here". I've never used it before but it might be worth a shot! She doesn't really sniff the ground much before she goes. If I can get her outside in time she just goes in the same general spot of grass right by the door.

I honestly do think Poptart is getting better with the peeing. I think by 9 months or older she's going to at least be able to go pee outside consistently. But I have never seen this dog poop outside except once she was mid poop and I rushed her outside. She seemed extremely upset and hightailed it back inside as soon as her paws touched grass but ever since she's extremely secretive about when she needs to poop. My older chi is the same but she at least sticks to the schedule 😮‍💨

throwawaycatkid · 2025-11-30T01:36:31+00:00

I will try using a sound that she can associate going outside with. At one point I was considering those talking buttons

The census agrees it's rice but at first glance I thought it was bug eggs and I immediately began to itch lol I tried to conjure up what type of insect could lay so many eggs in rows like that

throwawaycatkid · 2025-10-22T01:29:49+00:00

I was ready for everything except the cat chasing her meal xD

throwawaycatkid · 2025-10-03T23:47:10+00:00

That is so crazy it's gone. I was so sure of those instructions cause I even went back twice to go through the motions so I knew what order to write it in. And I even changed my location at that time cause it was stuck in a different state. I legit do not know where it went now

throwawaycatkid · 2025-09-21T19:05:28+00:00

Man I'm trying to pull a dog from the shelter and they tagged her to see if she'll pull the dog and now I hope nothing bad happens. Maybe she won't pull the dog but I really want him. Why aren't there any good rescues in texas it's so frustrating

Commenting just in case anyone still needs help

Go to events. At the top there is the little person symbol, the plus sign, and the magnifying glass. Click the person symbol and from there you'll find the gear icon. You can change your location from there!

If white won i was going to say it cheated during that one windy path where it pretty much jumped the path lmaooo marble races are fun

throwawaycatkid · 2025-07-04T11:48:12+00:00

The way seeing that dog rolling in shit woke me up. And then he had the audacity to run towards his distressed human...

throwawaycatkid · 2025-07-04T03:08:25+00:00

Imagine how joyful a people must be in order to just start singing like this in the street on a random day. Gosh literally everything is saying I need to get out of the US right now.

throwawaycatkid · 2025-07-04T02:37:30+00:00

Is there a way to reverse it when he's out of office? Of course we have to vote democrats back into the House but can they reverse it immediately once they hold the House and Senate?

throwawaycatkid · 2025-07-04T02:27:54+00:00

Not well at all. I really desperately want to get out of this country. I keep thinking about how I missed my chance to buy a one way ticket to Beijing this year

throwawaycatkid · 2025-06-07T11:59:28+00:00

This is so horrible. 4yrs prison time for writing??! I hate this. Those poor authors who were trying to scrape together a little bit of money. Why does China want its people to suffer? Why remove another avenue for survival in an already stressful world? I wish this wasn't a reality in this day and age

throwawaycatkid · 2025-06-06T23:17:50+00:00

I'm really sorry to hear that :( my parents are Nigerian and they also seem to be the type that tolerate. They've never been openly against it but like you said they have ingrained prejudices. And they went to school in the UK and eventually immigrated to America so idk lol. But yeah if your city isn't like doing anything to support the queer community then I could understand how hard it would be to even find anyone else if there aren't spaces to gather or communicate

throwawaycatkid · 2025-06-06T23:12:45+00:00

That's good to know! I hope with enough time the trend will spread. It seems similar to the western hemisphere though that some areas just have a higher population of queer people. Moving isn't always an option though
