they/them. queer, genderless, sentient possum meme. opinionated. annoying. exhausted. cat parent. used to have hobbies like disney parks and drag, but now i’m just broken. auDHD/cPTSD/LongCovid #NEISvoid. masking is solidarity.
like, black friday isn’t even bad at my company, especially at my particular mall… it’s just a long-ass, physically demanding weekend and i am already unwell.

extremely grateful that i’m in a good position this year re:staffing.

but yeah, this is pure toby behavior fyi

toby also has that miss piggy-like quality where, if he wants something (or doesn’t want something), he will make your life utter hell until you fold. if stubbornness could be bottled, his would be refined, concentrated, and medical-grade.

(ignore the fact that i pulled an all-nighter at work prepping for black friday before rope-dropping wegmans, my tonsils are back on their bullshit, i really feel gross, and i was so wiped i fell asleep on my floor while struggling to untangle myself from a blanket burrito. but toby is unrelenting.)
