zen_monkSunday August 9th was my 30th birthday, and I bid farewell to my 20s by watching "A Whisker Away" with friends on Zoom. It's a beautifully animated film, but wow it introduced a lot of things that should be unpacked but chose instead to focus on a not-very-good love story; I say not very good because it's set up in a way that could be good, but somehow the plot and character writing, both main and supporting characters, are written in a way in which... it probably shouldn't be?
As my friend noted, she was not expecting it to be like "It's a Wonderful Life" meets "A Cat Returns."
I think it's a solid B movie in which it would have been an A if they had chosen to focus on different relationships and tied in some plot elements to make it stronger.
But anyway! I am 30! I am employed with benefits at a University where I help grad students and faculty. I live with my family whom we love and at least do not hate each other, and right now I am exfoliating my face.
However! Yesterday, due to an error in the system, I was auto-terminated from my job and so my supervisor is trying to get that fixed. This was because I was previously a limited-employee at a different department, and when I switched departments I was meant to switch into a career-employee but the system somehow still used the previous end-date for my limited-employee status instead, and so I was auto-terminated last Friday on the 7th.
GREAT START TO BEING 30.

That error in the system that messed up your switch in position is the soundtrack of 2020. Ugh. 😩
