Huge career switch- super excited!!
Hello everyone! I'm currently in the middle of a huge career change and I'm super excited but also nervous. I majored in Biology and came very close to minoring in History but my scholarship ran out before I could finish it. I've spent the past three years since graduating working in the zoo field as an animal keeper (which I genuinely did love) but I decided that it was time for me to explore my other passions- namely material culture and cataloging. I was fortunate enough to join an archaeology lab in college identifying and cataloging items from a local dig site and it was genuinely one of the best experiences of my life.
All of this to say that I'm starting a position working in a local museum shop and I am over the moon! I'm hoping that this will be a good foot in the door and I have big hopes/plans regarding volunteering and pursuing a Masters. Not trying to fish for advice or anything! I just feel so full of hope and wanted to share it with y'all :-)

Somehow misplaced/ran out of SSRI two months early. Pharmacy and insurance aren't letting me order it again until September and ADS suuuucks
Update: Bless y'all to the moon and back! I was able to get everything together in the nick of time and get my refill today. Genuinely wouldn't have known where to start without y'all <3

Honestly this might have been me being dumb and throwing it away without thinking or an unfortunate result of my ADHD. Basically got prescribed a 90-day supply of Zoloft and picked it up beginning of June. I have a pill organizer that I refill every week but come last Saturday (exactly one month since I picked it up) I realized I was completely out. I had a meeting with my psychiatrist and he sent in a new prescription for me but because it hasn't been the full 90 days yet my insurance won't cover it and my pharmacy is being super difficult. I have a suspicion that they accidentally gave me just a 30 day supply and I somehow didn't notice (see above: ADHD) but the pharmacy says they took a picture and it was for sure 90 days.
All in all it looks like I can maybe just pay for a refill out of pocket but it's been a week since unintentionally quitting cold turkey and the discontinuation syndrome is making me feel like my body is gonna go all OceanGate Titan on me. Oh well, what can you do :-/

too boring to really even laugh?

Friends and I visited out of curiosity and because I love being a hater. Maybe a few hundred people total on a gorgeous Tuesday evening in roughly the low 80s. Our visits to the state booths-arguably what most people are going there to see-was cut short due to the power going out in one of the buildings, causing roughly a dozen different booths to basically shut down. If visiting be warned: the section of the mall behind the stage is (at least as of 6/30) completely empty and the national guard stationed at the end WILL let you walk all the way down before telling you that everything on that side is closed.
All in all the digital golf booth closed while we were in line because some guy hit the tv with his club but at least I got a sick set of playing cards from the Department of the Interior.

hey yall is my battery cooked?
hopped into my car after a doctor's appointment and it didn't start. popped the hood to jump start and the battery looks like this. jump start did end up working but is this normal?
more info: 2013 Subaru Outback, when starting the A/C came on but no other screens did. Speedometer and tachometer hands moved but after that I just had a red battery symbol.
