I will never get over how weird it feels to have tragic and emotional chapters of your life where you just also still go to work, and the grocery store, and see funny videos online all while feeling such paralyzing fear and heartache

life just goes on no matter what

there are literally worse things than being in a saw trap like for instance openly expressing that you have wants and needs and are a real person

[ID: Poem that reads:

TO THE YOUNG WHO WANT TO DIE Sit down. Inhale. Exhale. The gun will wait. The lake will wait. The tall gall in the small seductive vial will wait will wait: will wait a week: will wait through April. You do not have to die this certain day. Death will abide, will pamper your postponement. I assure you death will wait. Death has a lot of time. Death can attend to you tomorrow. Or next week. Death is just down the street; is most obliging neighbor; can meet you any moment. You need not die today. Stay here–through pout or pain or peskyness. Stay here. See what the news is going to be tomorrow. Graves grow no green that you can use. Remember, green’s your color. You are Spring.

and so begins the tri-annual Cleansing Of The Eye Safety Whale Shark

yes. the most important purpose.

this stupid fat green bitch holds 60.5 litres/16 gallons of water. i can't physically lift it off the wall. it weighs 8kg with nothing in it. it weighs about 70kg full of shitty brine water. (that's about 150lbs for my american friends)

it takes FIFTEEN MINUTES to drain through the eye cups. the only way to drain it faster is the intake hole on the top. but since i can't lift it...

i can't leave it to drain alone because this thing is the messiest bitch on earth and instead of trickling out the hole at the bottom in an orderly, even flow, it shits water out all along the bottom because it was designed in the shape of a roller coaster chair for minimum efficiency.

i have to stand there and babysit it + periodically dump the mop bucket i have to place under it before it gets too heavy for me to lift it to dump it. then i have to refill it by using 4 random water jugs of varying sizes and escorting them in a bin i have taped to a garbage can to minimize my trips taken. it still takes about 8 trips. i end up soaked from the tits down every time.

the whale shark is there to keep me from going insane because i have to do this every 120 days.

also her name is Wet Shrek. (the station not the toy)

real emails i get to send the store manager
