I don't even know what I'm doing

i helped out a lady today while on my shift at the bookstore cause she was looking for art books and we have a huge collection of art/artist books that are roughly 20-24 dollars each and the paintings are printed in super nice paper so they're like a top tier collection of books if you like art imo

ok so i kept showing her different artists that were in that collection that i really liked, and she kept grabbing the books i handed her and i thought she wanted to look at them and then decide which one she wanted

anyway, she ended up buying the entire collection which was roughly 21 books 😭😭 her receipt ended up being like 500 dollars aprox 😭😭 she was so happy and excited and like lady, you are my hero, i want to be you so badly oh my god

my coworker and i just stared at her while she left with stars in our eyes cause imagine having the money to just buy 21 books at once like literal goals

especially since that art book collection is so gorgeous like ugh i wish that were me

oh my god i almost forgot to tell you all about how, while my dad was visiting, i had an infestation of every single kind of bug in my house that hasn't been a problem before or since. like i'm not kidding i evicted so many creeping crawlies that week and couldn't for the life of me stop mosquitos from stealing my blood, but as soon as he left they vanished. and i mean, sure, there's a perfectly rational explanation, because two people make more mess than one and he has a habit of leaving the windows wide open enough to fly a jet engine through day and night, but i can't help but think how symbolically on the nose it was. the ancestral rot at the heart of my family so gothic it's got ants and flies buzzing around its decaying corpse.

hey so update but i haven't been harassed by a single freaky little beast since my dad left even after leaving some crumbs on the floor as an experiment to see if they attracted any ants so i think my dad might just be bugs actually

i would rather see the information for an event handwritten in sharpie on a paper towel than see another AI generated flyer

Saving this post to show my boss who I told the AI flier makes us look lazy and ignorant, and offered to hand draw one. She still printed tons of ai fliers and I'm tempted to make a better one just because it annoys me so much.

Fun update: event was canceled because literally nobody rsvp'd to the AI flier.

Younger folk are getting really good at spotting AI slop, to the consternation of marketing execs.
