trying to schedule more surgery consultations with different clinics. right now I have another one scheduled and then a phone call to schedule one scheduled with another place

I've been doing more writing and trying to get more social. i went to a transfem social group last thursday and it was really nice. we're planning a book club thing

i got concert tickets for 100 gecs as well. they were scalper tickets so they were expensive but might as well live a little

my goal is to get 3 job applications out by the end of the months and my thinking is that once i get off my ass about it i should be able to do more

it's still sour grapes jobwise. the unexpected part is that my boss has been a lot nicer to me since i said i'd be quitting. seems assbackwards to me considering his behavior is the reason I'm leaving. it took me about 2 months into the job to realize that the reason this place had to keep hiring receptionists was because he treats them like personal assistants / sacrificial lambs, and 4 months to actually decide to quit because of it. two coworkers said to me that i lasted longer than pretty much anybody else has in this role

my passions are in things that make you no money and i don't have the drive to chase that horse. my career goal is to move into translation because i think it's my only potential specialist skill that's in demand. until then it's gonna be clerical office bullshit because at least it's not retail or call center or restaurant bullshit. at least this has consistent hours and you can sit down

i would say maybe i should think about grad school but that seems like a much more expensive way to kick the can than the current way of festering. i don't know. it could easily be worse
