An Actual Conversation I had at work:

An older gentleman dressed in a nice suit: knock knock

Me, just wanting to make money and go home confused at the unprompted start to a joke: …who’s there?

Old man: you know

Me, aware of what’s happening but willing to let it be: you know who?

Old man, pulling a HP wand out of his sleeve: Harry Potter, the boy who lived… come to die… AVADA!!!

Me, trying to not laugh to hard as I hand him his room key: Kadaveyyyy

(It made my night 😂😭)

A New Demigod Arrives at camp

New Camper, learning about the gods: What’s the aquaman one?

Percy: …I’m sorry???

New Camper: Aquaman!!

Percy: …Poseidon?

New Camper: THATS THE ONE!!! I like him!

(A conversation my cousin and I just had when I tried to explain Epic the Musical to her)

A Rant— Sorry

I haven’t been writing because I’ve been dealing with finance issues. A while ago I had a sever kidney infection that ended with me getting a 1400$ medical bill from the radiology department in the hospital. On top of that I also received a 1000$ medical bill from the hospital itself. That’s 2400$ for a bad kidney that I CANT afford. I’m trying to find a second job because of these bills and the stress is taking away from me wanting to add to No Cut Strings. That doesn’t mean it won’t be updated but it does mean I’m asking for patience when it comes to updates.

I’m fucking pissed that I owe so much money because of a kidney infection. If I hadn’t gone to the doctor I would have ended up in kidney failure and it would have been worse but it’s still incomprehensible that survival has a cost. That HEALTH has a cost. My lowest insurance premium is 280$ and I would still be paying 70% of the cost. It wouldn’t cover emergency visits, eye, or dental. I’d still fully pay for prescriptions. I’m tired of bills. Im tired of being broke. I’m pissed that there isn’t affordable health care despite the fact it’s advertised. I’m just done with our health system in general.

Americans are some of the most unhealthy people in the world and there are reasons but rn I think a big reason is no one can afford to be healthy. Healthy food is twice the cost of junk food. Gym equipment costs more than a new bed. Gym memberships cost more than tv platforms. Dying is less expensive than going to a fucking hospital.

It’s bullshit. I’m pissed and have no creativity right now because I’m stressed to hell. I’m 👌 close to moving somewhere with free healthcare but can’t because I DONT HAVE THE MONEY.
