Dude same! Just moved over the weekend and I’ve never been more excited for a Monday commute and it’s all because I get to take a bus instead of the El.

There’s lots of different call center jobs, I’ve worked at a few that sucked and a few that were fine.

Maybe it’s dramatic but I couldn’t bring myself to call people and ask them for thousands of dollars during a pandemic after hearing them tell me about their parents, husbands, and children dying from covid. The job wasn’t serious, the world was.

Having worked for call centers before, I can guarantee you that person was sticking to the script. As much as it sucks and feels greedy and impersonal, that person was trying to preserve their own job there. I ended up quitting a call center job during the pandemic because our script had us asking for $2,000 right off the bat. Those jobs are horrendous and soul sucking.

RIP to the Toasted Walnut, it was my favorite place to dance and play trivia pre-pandemic.

That being said, there’s lots of events at Franky Bradley’s that are super fun and queer-oriented. There’s a What We Do in the Shadows themed burlesque show and dance party happening there Oct 13th, I’m going with some lesbians so I can guarantee at least 4 of us!
