Analia_the_1st @analiathe1st.bsky.social · 11/10/2026Someone needs to figure out a bed where you can sit up against the headboard to read with a 40lb dog in your lap and then lay down to sleep without moving the dog a single inch. 000
Analia_the_1st @analiathe1st.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Oh thank god. Now I finally get a break from having to listen to baseball (I live with a Yankees fan 😭). 000
Analia_the_1st @analiathe1st.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Just managed to kill my faithful work toaster via static shock. RIP little stainless steel buddy, you did a great job for over 5 years.😭 010
Analia_the_1st @analiathe1st.bsky.social · 01/10/2026It's October 1st with a predicted high temperature of 91°F This is not the October I asked for 000
Analia_the_1st @analiathe1st.bsky.social · 30/09/2026And now I keep getting randomly booted out of my main worksystem with zero warning. Nvmd, whole system just went down. We should just go home. 000
Analia_the_1st @analiathe1st.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Half the people I absolutely NEED to do their jobs so I can do mine are out of the office today, there's no one here that's cross-trained for those jobs (see above Out of Office) and I need to leave early for a dentist appointment. These are the days I just love my job 🙃🙃 000
Analia_the_1st @analiathe1st.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Damn it. Making my brother watch Project Hail Mary and he's already guessed the ending with 20 minutes to go. 😑 000
Analia_the_1st @analiathe1st.bsky.social · 11/09/2026My direct report became my peer this week. I'm super happy for him bc he absolutely deserves the promotion, but we both also realize that this change to our dynamic is dangerous bc we're catty bitches who now have even less reason to hold back our dunks on each other. 100
Analia_the_1st @analiathe1st.bsky.social · 05/09/2026It's supposed to be 100°F today and yet here I am, huddled under multiple blankets, extra thick socks, and a hoodie bc it's so damn COLD in my house. I'm about ready to put on gloves and a scarf. 😭 000
Analia_the_1st @analiathe1st.bsky.social · 29/08/2026Hooray, it's another weekend of me spending all of my time trying to teach my mother how to print from a windows tablet, which is EXACTLY like printing on her regular windows computer just a lottle smaller and 2 feet to the left. 💀 Send prayers or bail money. 000

Analia_the_1st @analiathe1st.bsky.social · 28/08/2026My mum scheduled the water softener company to come out today bc our softener hasn't been working for several months. They best appt time they could give us was "between 9am and 2pm" so I had to take the whole day off to be here. The problem? The salt meter was unplugged. 2 second fix. 🤦 000
Analia_the_1st @analiathe1st.bsky.social · 27/08/2026I'm going to have to start tracking occurrences of thunderstorms in days where I end up with both (NOT small!) dogs in my bed at night. I'm beginning to suspect there's a correlation here. And a distinct shortage of available mattress space for someone with less than 4 legs. 010
Analia_the_1st @analiathe1st.bsky.social · 26/08/2026God DAMN IT. First Dolly, and now Tim Curry. Make it stop 😭😭😭 000
Analia_the_1st @analiathe1st.bsky.social · 23/08/2026Had to dig out my old desktop computer today, bc it's the only device I own that can still rip CDs and I couldn't remember the password. Thank goodness I actually wrote the damn thing down after my dad died or I'd be hosed. This is your PSA to write down the SUPER IMPORTANT shit now, while you can 110
Analia_the_1st @analiathe1st.bsky.social · 22/08/2026Nothing like experiencing rejection dysphoria so strong (in a dream, which is worse bc it's not even about something REAL happening) that it wakes you from a very deep sleep. Guess I'm awake for the day now - thanks stupid brain. 000
Analia_the_1st @analiathe1st.bsky.social · 21/08/2026My whole evening/rest of my week is ruined. My hairstylist just dumped* me via text message 😭😭 *she has to stop doing hair for health reasons that I completely understand and she made sure to tell me before she told my mother, but still. I'm going to wallow in my devastation for a while. 100
Analia_the_1st @analiathe1st.bsky.social · 06/08/2026I don't always get into pissing matches with my military students but I was military born/raised, so I do occasionally enjoy a good cc'd email to a commanding officer when necessary. 000

Analia_the_1st @analiathe1st.bsky.social · 31/07/2026Based on the conversation I partially overheard this morning, it sounds like my director got chewed out for our questions anyway. 🙃 000
Analia_the_1st @analiathe1st.bsky.social · 31/07/2026My uni president decided to "stop by" our dept today so we could ask him questions about the direction the university is going. Dude got a little frustrated bc we had all sort decided that we weren't going to get our asses added to the layoff list and we're only asking super softball stuff. 100
Analia_the_1st @analiathe1st.bsky.social · 15/07/2026I absolutely love when this post/screenahots makes rounds again bc I am 110% the tags. 020

Analia_the_1st @analiathe1st.bsky.social · 05/07/2026The biggest downside to drugging my dog to the gills is that she's already a picky eater & the meds kill what little remains of her appetite. It's taken me all morning to coax/trick her into eating her small breakfast & I still have to make sure she eats enough at dinner to have meds again tonight. 000
Analia_the_1st @analiathe1st.bsky.social · 05/07/2026Well, baby girl fought valiantly againt the trazadone I gave her at 6pm, but it finally started to kick in around 8:30pm and she finally went to sleep around 10pm. I hate doing it to her, but she was so much less freaked out by the fireworks with it and I would rather she sleep through them. 110
Analia_the_1st @analiathe1st.bsky.social · 04/07/2026Today, I'm trying to avoid doing my best firework impression by having my head explode, but my mother is also doing her best to cause said impression to occur. 000
Analia_the_1st @analiathe1st.bsky.social · 01/07/2026Of all the AI crammed bullshit, I currently hate the "reply to text message" feature the most. I didn't text this person back for a REASON. Don't fucking guilt-trip me about it. 010
Analia_the_1st @analiathe1st.bsky.social · 26/06/2026Hooray, the biggest "we can bend the rules for our special group of students" dept on campus is SHOCKINGLY asking if we can bend the rules for a student 2 business days before the end of the fiscal year. I've run it up the chain, but I will not be surprised if the answer is "lol, no". 000
Analia_the_1st @analiathe1st.bsky.social · 24/06/2026Survived my uni job cuts today. I guess still having a paycheck is nice, but part of me was looking forward to a lot more free time. 000
Analia_the_1st @analiathe1st.bsky.social · 23/06/2026At some point between yesterday afternoon and this morning, my bag of baby carrots went bad and now I'm genuinely upset that I can't have my veggies. There are donuts in the break room, but don't want them. I'm literally craving carrots. Who is this person I am now? I don't know her anymore. 110
Analia_the_1st @analiathe1st.bsky.social · 16/06/2026Each night the girl dog deigns to fall asleep in my lap is a precious gift. Right up until it's my turn to lay down, and then god-forbid I disturb the 45lb princess with a mouth full of "bite first, ask questions later" teeth. 000
Analia_the_1st @analiathe1st.bsky.social · 04/06/2026I am going to buy a physical copy of Paladin's Hope by @tkingfisher.com JUST so I can throw it across the room before I start shrieking incoherently. 010

Analia_the_1st @analiathe1st.bsky.social · 02/06/2026Love it. Was completely exhausted after work, so of course my mother needs help/babysitting to make a facebook post. So instead of being tired and laying down, I'm tired pissed off and sitting in the kitchen watching a 60+ yr old woman try to find multiple pictures with agonizing slowness. 100
Analia_the_1st @analiathe1st.bsky.social · 31/05/2026The neighbors kid is throwing a party/drinking thing with loud music and screaming. It's only 8pm but goddamn I'm old bc I really want them to stop already bc it's annoying. 000
Analia_the_1st @analiathe1st.bsky.social · 20/05/2026The closer I'm forcibly/involuntarily woken to the time my alarm is supposed to go off is inversely proportional to how much I DON'T want to go to work that day. If you wake me up that the exact time my alarm goes off, I'm just not going in. 000
Analia_the_1st @analiathe1st.bsky.social · 10/05/2026Sending my mother on a driving trip to halfway across the country for Mother's Day. This is a woman who has never used GPS in her life and my brother gave her bare minimum instructions on using it. What could possibly go wrong? 000
Analia_the_1st @analiathe1st.bsky.social · 09/05/2026I hate attending graduation ceremonies. It's so much easier to just work the ceremony instead of being in the audience. 010
Analia_the_1st @analiathe1st.bsky.social · 07/05/2026Despite the awkwardness of making my first massage appt, the massage itself went pretty well, I think. She definitely worked at the knots in my shoulders and spine bc they're sore, but it's a good type of sore. Might have to tryout the soft massage next time, just to compare the two. 010
Analia_the_1st @analiathe1st.bsky.social · 06/05/2026Freaking out a little bit bc my director just emailed and told me to do something that I flagged back at the beginning of the year as incorrect. I replied with documentation that this course of action is incorrect and is he SUPER SURE he wants me to do this? 100
Analia_the_1st @analiathe1st.bsky.social · 06/05/2026That socially awkward situation where you go into a massage place and the language barrier is strong enough that you accidentally make an appointment when all you wanted was to ask questions. Guess I'm getting my 1st ever massage tomorrow. 🤷♀️ 000
Analia_the_1st @analiathe1st.bsky.social · 03/05/2026My mother is newly horrified to discover that when you work for a public institution, no matter the position, your salary details are made accessible to the public.

Analia_the_1st @analiathe1st.bsky.social · 02/05/2026Nothing like having your focus on a task be ruin by your mother suddenly coming into the room to scold you for not having left to get your grocery order pick up scheduled 2 hours from now.

Analia_the_1st @analiathe1st.bsky.social · 30/04/2026Just had my first actively involved PT appt for whatever has been wrong with my arm since August (1st appt was just intake). Can anybody give me a rough estimate on when the noodle arm feeling goes away? 😆 000
