     my job keeps me from getting home till after the library's closed, so i haven't been doing those nighttime walks i described before, where most my pictures came from. i miss it. guess it's time to savor the night for it's own sake, without the library to motivate me.

     sooo the other day at work was a day we'd all been dreading: they finally finished adding the new touchscreen ordering system to replace the usual way. it really seems like there's no good reason for it. for starters, this is a retirement home so all the cafe customers have been used to ordering face to face their whole lives, and there's no apparent accessibility improvements. maybe there's a slight efficiency improvement??? idk, not even the manager guys are all that enthusiastic about this, i hear the order came from higher-level corporate mfs who haven't ever set foot in our kitchen so yeah

     no but seriously there's material here. it's crazy how my coworkers and i all got our own distinct little drops of charm while our manager people are all the most aggressively uncool white men the labs've cooked up to date. and it's always a little sad when u get done talking with one of the nice old retired ladies here only to spot all the trump stickers and knicknacks on her purse and shit and meet her annoyingly excessively rich family

     and so far my least favorite parts of this job are:

     1. sweeping and mopping at the end, humans were meant to clean normal rooms like this not bigass line kitchens and cafes

     2. how much food we throw out at the end of the day. if this is normal for fast food, it's a crime against humanity

     cartoon lady taught me to scoop and serve the different types of slop from their heated up buckets, and to go complain to the chefs when i ran out. i like having her train me cause she seems like she knows her shit more than everybody else and seems really sweet when she isn't being loud and demanding for the job

     to do this i had to find each ones name on the resident list and deduct a meal from their plan, and to do that i had to listen to each one say their name as they came through. but they were seniors so there was a lot of slurring and me leaning over going "could you say that again" and a couple got through with free meals in the end whoops

     after watching lotsa training videos about dementia and shit like that, i spent most of the time following my trainer and watching him do things i won't remember how to do. i spent the next most time doing the only job i 100% understand so far, which is operating the check-in place to make sure no seniors get free meals

     first off NEW CHARACTERS JUST DROPPED IN THE ENARGEIAVERSE

     ANIME GUY: some zoomer whos studying economics and consumes way too much dbz and naruto and one piece and jjk. fucks with the mid 2000s sonic osts and ai voiceover parody videos. says he's basically dead outside of work and school so idk how he has the time to follow all that too

     TRAIN GUY: only genuinely friendly one here, makes loud train noises whenever he passes through, wishes he were tearing trafficpoles up in philly after the eagles win. has some sort of beef with dessert lady

     TIRED GUY: i hate [something about my job]. u feel me [deadname]?

     DESSERT LADY: seems significantly older than most of us. keeps mistaking my sister for someone named emily. when i met her she mistook me for my sister, who she mistook for emily, and thought i was her but just starting transition to "turn into a guy" lmao
