Dear diary,

       It's finally happened! I was able to read without my loud ass coworker pulling me from my book. And it wasn't because she wasn't at work, she was, but because she finally shut up during last break. I was able to really enjoy what I was reading. I'm glad because it's a good book and I'm hoping to go to the library tomorrow before going to the in-laws so I want to see if I can't finish it before then.

     In other news, I've begun going live on TikTok with some friends while on my way to work. It sucks that I have to do this, but anything to feel safe. When will those in marginalized communities, especially women/femme presenting people, feel safe to walk around? Things need to change, but who will change them and when?

Love,

Raven

A/N: I'm pesce-pollotarian (I'm mostly vegetarian but I still eat seafood and poultry) and I don't like turkey so it's highly unlikely I'll eat the ham or turkey if they do bring any in for my team, but if I absolutely I'm more likely to eat the ham instead of the turkey (I reeeeeaalllllyyyyy don't like turkey).

Dear diary,

       They're supposed to be bringing in ham and turkey at work for a Thanksgiving potluck. Hopefully, our team gets something. We were lucky with our old unload and overnight managers because they would make sure we got fed, but now they're both gone. An older woman that works days did bring in some pumpkin bars with cinnamon cream cheese icing and they were delicious!

       I asked for my husband's birthday off next month like I do every year and I got it off, but they also gave me the day before. If I had been asking for a Friday or Monday off I wouldn't mind and just treat as an unexpected four day weekend, but his birthday is on a Wednesday this year. I don't want to miss out on too much money so I talked to the current unload manager about coming in the day before my husband's birthday and he's going to e-mail the person that handles scheduling about it.

     I was tasked with packing down the bays last night. I decided to work in paint since there were people already working in the other departments. It was the end of the night and I was fixing all the upstock back into the overhead when I hear my loud ass coworker in the next aisle over belting a Christmas song. It's still November and knowing the rest of the team's thoughts on Christmas, do you really think any of us want to hear you belting "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer"? Sing what you want, of course, but keep it down. I've had just about enough with her constantly being so loud so I turned on my phone, put on some music and turned up the volume. Petty? Maybe. Passive aggressive? Perhaps, but ask me if I care. It was either that or I yell at her and I chose the option that was least likely to get me in trouble. Sue me.

Love,

Raven

A/N: I've taken it upon myself to get back into writing in my diary. My therapist has been hounding me to do it since I've started seeing them, but I never had the time. I ultimately decided to start writing while I'm live on Reality.

Dear diary,

       This month has surely been something. We've lost 3 people at work this month so far and our workload doesn't seem to be getting any lighter even though the busy season is over. We don't have any trucks for the next two days but instead of working on bays we'll be working on the massive amount of pushback we've already managed to acquire even though the week's just started.

      I've managed to get back to my Reality lives and posting on Lemon8 but I haven't gotten back to posting on Instagram. I just barely started feeling better after being sick for two weeks, but I still have low energy. I'll need to come up with new makeup looks but I'm hoping to get back to posting on Instagram next month.

     In other news, my husband's gotten us a car from one of his coworkers. He started a new job last month and it seems his coworkers have taken a huge shine to him. I'm not surprised, my husband is a very outgoing man. One of his coworkers gave him a bunch of food some weeks ago and now another has sold him their old car. It needed a new battery but now it runs really well. Having this car will definitely make getting groceries and going out a lot easier.

     Speaking of "going out", my husband took me out to this Cajun seafood place that's not too far from where we live. We split a seafood broil between the two of us and it was actually really good, except for one thing. My husband found a PREGNANT crawfish in our broil! I was in such shock and almost cried seeing the eggs still in the mother. And I know they boil the crawfish alive but that doesn't make my heart break any less for those poor, unborn babies! On another note, I also got to try beignets for the first time! They were so fluffy and good! I'm so happy I finally got to try them after years of wanting to!

     I definitely want to go back for mine and my husband's wedding anniversary next year. Hopefully, next time we won't have any pregnant sea creatures in the food.

Letter to Wildbiel

Dear Wildbiel, 

I would suggest having an ACTUAL profile and educating yourself before you come into my DMs being a racist sack of shit. I would also suggest looking through my journal to realize just who I am. I don't take shit lying down. 

But you won't be able to do that last one because you will be promptly reported and blocked. 

With pettiness, 

Raven

Letter to Allthatbeyond

Dear allthatbeyond,

You came into my dm's trying to say I look like I stink, but it's your breath that stinks with all that shit you're talking.

Maybe show yourself before you start trying to go after someone else's appearance, okay?

With pettiness,

Raven
