Absolutely! I had a customer return a pair of pants because she didn't want to pay to get them altered. I don't want to be that person.

Or the amount of people who come in claiming clothes are faulty because the button has broken off or there's a tiny hole that they made.

Thank you! Go sleep hehe :)

I want to learn how to hand sew but relative has a machine at our house and I will not touch it because don't want to break something accidentally. I am known in the family for breaking everything I touch!

That's a great suggestion, thank you! My relative who sews has offered to teach me so I'll see how I go before I go to a class!

Worked with someone new yesterday who was telling me that she bought a sewing machine to hem her pants. As a fellow short person, it's finally time to learn to sew. The relative who does it for me won't be around anymore one day.

I wish I knew what to do about it, but just my thoughts.

Can you add people who smoke tobacco / weed and sit next to you to the list? I personally find it so disgusting. Or also the people who don't give you enough room to sit down and have their stuff leaning on your seat. Not cool.

The number one thing imo is people don't want to confront the people displaying antisocial behaviour over the fear of being harmed. At my workplace (retail), they tell us not to make eye contact with and maintain a safe distance from threatening customers.

Compared to a country like Japan, where quiet on PT is taken seriously, I think our culture is just not as respectful and more laid-back. People aren't confrontational there either, but norms are much more engrained.

As for having conversations at all waking hours of the day, maybe they're talking to people from different time zones? Or they can just talk at times you wouldn't have a phone conversation like they would?

Maybe bigger signs or announcements about being quiet? Make it a public health thing. I know with the stop it campaign, they would sometimes speak about it over the PA system and have signs and advertisements. The people who are inconsiderate of others wouldn't pay attention to these messages, but it could be a step in the right direction.

There are signs on buses saying no smoking, or put headphones on, but they're not always enforced. Plus the substance use problem in this city. I was on the train a couple of months ago and this man who was either severely mentally ill and/or on hard drugs was playing music very loudly, and when we sat near him, he started recording us with the flash on and banging on the train window. I just got up and left. There isn't much I can do as an individual in that situation.

Another lovely night of fuck all sleep. This time I woke up at 4:30 and my alarm goes off in 15. Might as well just get up and eat something.

This might help my sleep schedule though, unless I make up for the sleep debt tomorrow by sleeping in late.

Monday and Tuesday are over 25 degrees. Maybe I shall go beach on a random Tuesday when I am done with these assignments hanging over my head. This is probably the last time in my life I will be able to do something like until retirement, so I shall cherish it.

I'm scared to start working full-time in a "real" job and I haven't even started yet. I don't want to do busywork that's ultimately meaningless. But everything has a purpose in some way.

Sounds like an excellent day!

Got two hours of sleep and picked up a second start shift today. I accidentally woke up when I was meant to start. Oops. Eating and then going back.

You're brave bringing the camera out there

Beautiful babies

Wonderful. Reminds me of my grandma's lemon tree before her neighbour reduced it to a stump.
