September promosky❗️

Took inspiration from @jess.shakesess.fyi and @hotcheetoyo.bsky.social thank you both!!

Anyone else find they can't fit everything they want to say within the character limit 😅? #promosky #promobluesky #septemberpromo

🩷&🔄 appreciated as always

😚

This is a VERY long image description so buckle in!

Image is my promosky, with loads of information about me. The background is a checkered cream, with a purple outline.

The top left reads: "Rachael (do NOT call me Rach, ever ❌️)

she/they" in black text.

The top right is a photo of me and its description is: "A white person stood in their bedroom. They are pictured from the chest up and have pastel/bubblegum pink hair, and pink glasses. They are wearing a blue-ish grey hoody with the word "Iconic" written on it in white text and are looking at the camera and smiling. In the background, you can see Pokémon posters and Pokémon/Yu-Gi-Oh!/Beyblade cards on the cupboard."

On the left is another piece of text that reads: "Lil about me:
30
Scottish 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
Queer
Care Experienced
Socialist ✊️
Employability/ESOL tutor".

And underneath that text is some pink writing that says "torchic squish!" in capital letters. Below that is a photo of said torchic squishmallow. Its image description is: "The Pokémon Torchic. It is in squishmallow form; a round orange chicken, with yellow-ish feathers around its torso, a yellow beak, black eyes, and a yellow and orange comb. It is sat on my cream-y rug."

To the right of the 2 previous is some pink writing that says "random facts 🌸" in capital letters. Below that, the facts are written; "✨️I write capital Y's backwards
✨️I have 1 tattoo & 1 piercing, want more ✨️I abseiled down the Forth Rail Bridge for charity ✨️You can find me eating, yapping, or complaining 99% of the time". These are all written in black text and each fact is in a white box with a pink outline.

Below the facts is are my interests, which are: "CATS 🐈‍⬛️, Squishmallows 🧸, My friends 🫂, Bluesky, Shonen anime (yugioh/beyblade/pokemon), Everything purple 💜🐙👾🎵, Skincare, Lady Gaga 👩‍🎤." Each interest is bulletpointed with this flower emoji 🌼 and is in black text and on a sticky note image background.

Aw christ, the buses don't start running till 9 tomorrow so I'm going to have to walk to the train station 😩😩😩

Rachael 🤗 @urfavouriterachael.bsky.social · 4h

I've been in my flat 11 years today!!

Rachael 🤗 @urfavouriterachael.bsky.social · 7h

People that can't comprehend there's more train carriages they just leapt on and need to make a scrap of effort to look in the other 5-7 carriages for an empty seat need studied under a microscope.

Rachael 🤗 @urfavouriterachael.bsky.social · 7h

And there's PLENTY of empty chairs, I got up and shoved past him (much to his complaint/fussing) and went up to another carriage. Empty seats galore. Stop being lazy and dumb!!!

Rachael 🤗 @urfavouriterachael.bsky.social · 7h

Endless rage for morons who dive straight for the first empty seat on a train. Guy stood and stared & went "excuse me!" when I was sat on a chair. How about you go look down the other 7 carriages to find an empty seat that doesn't have someone sat at it?? I can't deal with brain dead people 🤦‍♀️

Rachael 🤗 @urfavouriterachael.bsky.social · 9h

Finished my e-training and looking round all the policies, procedures, and external websites. The latest employee handbook is 175 pages. Jesus fucking Christ ☠️

Went out for a few minutes to grab lunch and I fell/slid on the road 😭😭😭 that hurt like FUCK

Rachael 🤗 @urfavouriterachael.bsky.social · 13h

I'd normally ask questions/hold a conversation etc as you're supposed to as a new start but the other person is that SILENT I feel like I can't ask anything/interact at all ☠️

Rachael 🤗 @urfavouriterachael.bsky.social · 13h

Being a quiet person is fine but it's my first day, you gotta interact with me in some way surely ☠️??

I'm silently/awkwardly working my way through training/ learning other online systems cause idk what else to do.

Rachael 🤗 @urfavouriterachael.bsky.social · 13h

Oh my gooood. Came in for my first shift, and other than speaking a bit when giving me a tour, the other practitioner is SILENT. No going over anything/pointing stuff out, no introducing me to any young people that come to the office, and no general chat/questions.

??????

Rachael 🤗 @urfavouriterachael.bsky.social · 15h

Fucking Google maps sending me in circles 🙃

Rachael 🤗 @urfavouriterachael.bsky.social · 17h

On my way for my first shift of my new job :)

Rachael 🤗 @urfavouriterachael.bsky.social · 1d

Got a letter summoning me for jury duty in the New Year

😬

Rachael 🤗 @urfavouriterachael.bsky.social · 1d

Was in for nearly 7 hours working through training modules 🙃 I'm so tired & hangry

Rachael 🤗 @urfavouriterachael.bsky.social · 1d

On my way to my induction for my 2nd job. Forgot my bank card, thankfully I can buy my train & bus tickets without having the actual card on me. But I can't buy any juice or plasters 🙃

Rachael 🤗 @urfavouriterachael.bsky.social · 2d

Had to leave 45 minutes early tonight cause I'm getting my hair done- missing out on the party- which I don't care for cause I don't care for Halloween- but the chief exec ordered us all loads of food so I've left before that got there 🥲

Rachael 🤗 @urfavouriterachael.bsky.social · 2d

Ohhh, doing too many things at once is coming back on me.

I finally have my training for my volunteering role next Thursday, but it's the same night as the whocares group.

So I'll have to miss the group, but I'm also missing taking part in a consultation I would've got £70 for doing 🥲

Rachael 🤗 @urfavouriterachael.bsky.social · 2d

I'll be the only one from our company going so I won't have anyone to yap to for half the week 💔

Still be based in our original Falkirk location so I can yap to someone for the 2nd half of the week, but I like being able to bother a colleague 🤣

Rachael 🤗 @urfavouriterachael.bsky.social · 2d

Got 2 full 8 week courses starting from next week (both 1 day a week), I have full responsibility for them from the beginning. Ooof ☠️

Rachael 🤗 @urfavouriterachael.bsky.social · 2d

Don't bring a dog on a public transport vehicle if you don't make any effort to get the animal to sit down & stay still 🤦‍♀️

Rachael 🤗 @urfavouriterachael.bsky.social · 2d

That wasn't even that person's dog?? Unwell behaviour 😭

Rachael 🤗 @urfavouriterachael.bsky.social · 2d

Dog lovers are SO fucking odd man. Sitting ranting on about how cats are evil then sitting on the bus floor petting & fussing a dog- meaning neither you nor the dog is staying still on a moving vehicle??? Utter moron 🙄🤦‍♀️

Rachael 🤗 @urfavouriterachael.bsky.social · 2d

Also, good thing I always check the tracking map when a bus is listed as cancelled cause it was still on the road!
