people keep making movies where the premise is "it's kind of like a man but it looks like a monstrous freak but it's nice and sexy and doesn't abuse the woman so it's basically the most romantic thing ever" and men keep not getting it.

While I was away last weekend, the leaves at home had started to turn.

One of my neighbours is learning to play the saxophone. I didn't mind the scales so much, but now we've moved on to an actual tune, so I've been hearing the opening notes of 'Take Five' about a hundred times a day.

I know it's pointless to get over a holiday losing its meaning, but still. Who would think hanging a fake bodybag out the window was a good idea for a kid-oriented holiday?

Some of my parents' neighbours have fake bodybags as part of their outdoor Hallowe'en decorations, and it's frankly a bit disturbing. Hallowe'en is not about murder and serial killers; it's about the veil between two worlds being at their thinnest at the end of the year.

Fun time to be an arachnophobe.

Yesterday's vaccines finally caught up with me today while I was out - I had to come home early because I felt (and probably looked) like a plague victim.

I feel lousy for having done very little today apart from getting vaxxed and attending a job centre appointment, but everything else costs money. Also I'm tired and my arms hurt.

"From each according to his Testogel, to each according to her Estradiol." Pretty sure that's how the saying goes.

My interview yesterday was on Teams, and although I set a background before joining the call, when I was in the call I couldn't see my own camera feed - they assured me they could see me, but I didn't think to check if they could see the background. Now I'm paranoid they saw my messy flat.

My fellow conference attendees are now sharing how ill they've been since the weekend...

Can't recommend donating them to a charity shop either - we get loads of the fancy special editions and they don't sell. Recycle them, compost them, or make a pro-trans art project, but get them out of circulation.

Just got back from getting my jabs and it is pleasantly cold outside. I still have the windows open, though, for lüften.

I like to keep the windows open in all but the coldest months, and let me tell you, walking into the kitchen this morning and SHIVERING was the best thing that's happened in a long time. Hello, autumn, at last.

I always enjoy looking around Snooper's Paradise when I'm in Brighton, but everything is above my budget.

They put my asthma review nurse on the 3rd floor (4th floor for non-Brits) then took the lift out of action right before my appointment.

The learning from this should be for ALL interviewers to include the question, "How would you promote an inclusive culture in this role?"

It looks like he was put through a second interview with values-based questions. If they had done the same with other candidates, there would have been no discrimination, but if it was just him and specifically because of religious beliefs, then yeah, that's a failure on their part.

The entitlement of some (so many) English-speaking anime fans is disgusting, tbh.

Apparently there is Disk Horse about the ED already, less than 24hrs in.

While it would have been cool to have 'Horse With No Name' for the Steel Ball Run ED, I am not disappointed at all with that new original song.

Still, am v. excited for antagonist-Ishikawa Kaito, and for Sugita Tomokazu just being present at all. With them, Miyake Kenta and Maeno Tomoaki, I hope we'll be getting more legacy actors in later stages.

Got spoiled for the Steel Ball Run OP on Instagram, and I fear viewing it on my phone screen dampened the impact somewhat.

Work Coach asked me in today's appointment, "What's gone well for you this week?" and was not happy that I said "there is no 'well' while I'm applying for jobs and not hearing anything back".

Uh, hey, Nervous System? Why are we anxious today? There are no deadlines looming. We are not in danger. We have eaten, taken meds, and not consumed any caffeine. What's going on?

I'm starting to think that watching Transformers as a kid definitely influenced assume of my, um...preferences. There were so many deep, rumbly voices in that cast. Very pleasing.

Apparently my Loops don't just make the cinema volume more bearable: they also cut out the sound of everyone else snacking and whispering. I don't go to the cinema on weekends often: weekday patrons also seem to have better manners.

Also people need to learn communication skills. And boys should be taught to clean up after themselves as soon as they're old enough to walk.

I don't hate my family. I just know that I am incapable of sharing living space with another living being.

I have two episodes left of the Banana Fish dub, but after yesterday and The Horrors, I am far too fragile to watch them any time soon.

Fuming 😡 Sirdar, who I buy a lot of yarn from, is supporting JK Rowling. Well, I’ll be boycotting Sirdar for the foreseeable… So disappointed 🧶 #knit 🏳️‍🌈

Had my interview and uhhhhh this job feels sketchy, but my job centre appointment this morning was so ableist and awful that I cried afterwards. Right now, I think I'd take a sketchy part time gig over the DWP system.

I have a job interview tomorrow, for a job I don't particularly want, but (a) I do need some type of job, and (b) turning down a job offer, no matter how crappy, would get my benefits sanctioned. It's part-time (20hrs p/w) for £18ph, so I'd still be looking for something else to make up the hours.

JenAtWork @jenatwork.bsky.social · 11/09/2026
It's a weird thing to be anxious about, I know, but I also know that I've been susceptible to respiratory infections most of my life, so suddenly getting them less is not my normal.

I went from working retail while masking every day and having hand sanitiser everywhere in the shop, to working from home and then to being out of work, so I'm obviously around people less, but still, I go out, use public transport, and go into enclosed spaces with others.
