glacier_kitty1. How is professional you different from home you? I'm more "casual," and might ask a question that I wouldn't be able to ask if I'm trying to stay professional (it can be hard though!)
2. How is grown-up you different from teen you? I'm far more mature and relaxed..I would get super upset if someone didn't respond to a message right away, which sounds so ridiculous now..people get busy haha. I also ignored people's reactions..like I would keep talking or whatever even if they looked uncomfortable. I'm sure part of that was being autistic, but I still feel bad thinking of it. I've learned a lot over the years :P
3. How is online you different from IRL you? Hmmm..not sure. I try to be real either way!
4. How is morning you different from evening you? I feel groggy and sleepy in the morning..it can definitely take me awhile to wake up fully (going to work helps me wake up faster too, I'm distracted haha). Sometimes I'll fall asleep trying to read before work. I really like the evening because there's dinner, dessert, relaxation, cat games to play haha, etc. I'm definitely not a morning person :P
5. How is drinking you different from sober you? I'm able to do Les Mis karaoke LOL, and I might slur my words/stutter more than usual, which really amuses mom for some reason. :P I laugh a lot too! Alcohol can allow me to be outgoing, which is cool, even if I'm exhausted the day after :P
At work this week a customer asked if she could bring in her emotional support cat..umm YES haha! Her cat was on a leash and meowed at everything lol. She let me pick her up and hold her for a few minutes..cats are definitely good for emotional support! It seems like people are now taking their cats places instead of dogs, which is super cool! Bring your cats everywhere, please, it makes me happy LOL
Lucie finally hired a new Bookstore Manager yesterday, yay! Her name's Amanda (I've had at least three friends named Amanda, so that's easy to remember lol) and has lots of experience with overseeing volunteers and is pretty much everything Lucie was looking for in a manager. She starts work in mid-July. I hope I like her!
22. Who was your favorite relative when you were young? Dad, my half-sister Jenni, etc
23. Was there anything noteworthy about your mother's upbringing? She moved around a lot, I think grandpa was in the military or something..there are probably other things I can't think of right now lol
24. Describe a time you felt vengeful: When I was a kid I'd get angry at Ryan for being obnoxious and dig my fingernails into his back. D: Mom was definitely not happy!
25. Where do you see yourself in 5 years? Here? I've always hated this question lol, it's hard looking that far into the future!

Date: 2025-06-28 12:24 pm (UTC)Not that much, tbh, since I don't really have contact with any customers or the like. Of course I'm professional with supervisors but with my co-workers, I am on a friendly level with most of them so I act and talk similarly from when I am at home.
2. How is grown-up you different from teen you?

I also ignored people's reactions..like I would keep talking or whatever even if they looked uncomfortable. I'm sure part of that was being autistic, but I still feel bad thinking of it. I've learned a lot over the years :P <- My answer would honestly be along the same lines, although shamefully enough, I used to act a bit like this into my early 20s as well :(
3. How is online you different from IRL you?
I curse more in my entries LOL. /random
I am also more open and honest - not that I'm a liar or anything like that, I just feel more free/safe to talk about topics that I'd feel judged about in real life.
4. How is morning you different from evening you?
Morning me needs coffee something awful LOL.
5. How is drinking you different from sober you?
I don't often drink anymore since my meds and alcohol do not get along so I get drunk or at least very tipsy from one beer or so, and if I do drink anything harder, my hangovers will be awful. So I avoid it.
I remember your Les Mis karaoke video, that was super fun to watch! :D
Awww the cat sounds so cute! I agree, cats are amazing as an emotional support, they soothe your soul ♥ I would definitely feel much worse if I didn't have Lucy.
Amanda seems to be a popular name in the US, I've "met" quite a few people with that name online before. I am crossing my fingers that you'll get along with her well :D
