  • Ah well talking shit about work is different than actually changing your primary focus away from it. It’s just a form of small talk and they generally change tune when you actually start doing stuff about it in your life. Not coming in on a day when the manager mass-texted us that the building was out of power? I didn’t know, but apparently everyone else still came in because “it might have come on later” and I guess I was just supposed to show up out of some distorted form of solidarity?? I get that others needed the hours on their check anyways but I didn’t see the point personally.

    They’ll find shit to talk about. If you decide the place is too toxic and work to cut your hours, that culture of complaining often shifts to include you, especially when you’re not there.

    Maybe I’m too bitter from my previous job but good gravy am I glad to have quit.












  • There are opportunities in baking to deviate from the recipe, but it’s important to know how the ingredients react with each other during the mixing or baking process. I know some people who add an extra egg to their batch of cookies, some who add extra butter, etc and those who follow it verbatim. There’s certainly a lot less room for error, and a lot of small mistakes that can absolutely fuck the outcome, but there is room for creativity if you know which components are critical and which are optional. (and for which recipe, because some are more sensitive than others)

    Just don’t mix up baking powder and baking soda like I did when I was 11. Worst mistake of my life, that batch of waffles was completely inedible and had to be tossed 🙁 (idk if that counts as baking or cooking but whatever)
