hello world. today marks the first day of the existence of my blog.
y'know, i tried coding a website before. i was gonna try to style it to look like a kali linux desktop, but like, fuck all that. i'm not even a cybersecurity major anymore. and anyways, i never got very far in it - i think i did the background, the top bar with the little clock, and... that's about it. i got back into html coding because i'm in a web dev class in college right now, as part of my computer support major. on the one hand, it doesn't really tie into i.t. support - on the other hand, it's fun as fuck. i'm not complaining.
i guess this is the part where i should give a little more context into who i, vivi, am as an alter. i'm an academic. i split to do homework, and that's about it. i was very resentful of this for a long time. and in fact, i still am a bit, but i've been front so much i've turned into my own person. i've also basically taken our bank account hostage. if these fuckers are gonna make me do all their college work, then i'm gonna spend all their money (which, i'm the one working and earning the money right now, so who give a shit!)
i was trying to make a tumblr. but i think the website might be bugged or something--no matter how many times i try joining i keep getting an error. i'm a tech gal, i should poke around and investigate why it won't work, but i can't be assed. so, bluesky it is. if you wanna follow me, feel free to here.
work today was pretty eventful, though one of the reasons it was so eventful is kind of a sensitive situation - one i can't rlly divulge here. i did have to do a fair amount of work in the data closets - cool in theory, but i'm scared to break the equipment, and also i'm so short that i can't reach half the racks without a stool. except there isn't a stool in the one room, so i have to grab a fucking trampoline that had been tossed in there (doubles as a storage room) and stand on the outside ring of it for a lil extra height? it was a baby trampoline, i'm surprised it didn't break under me.
when i got home, i had a bit of a mood dip trying to decide what to switch majors to. tech is fun and all, but it doesn't resonate with the rest of the system and our collective strengths. we've been trying to figure out a better future path, but just can't decide on one. i asked my friend if journalism would be good, and he encouraged me to start a podcast to try out the general process of writing and presenting in an auditory format. i think it could be fun, if i could figure out wtf to make a podcast abt. i may go through with it - i don't know if it'll be a vivi thing, or a collective thing.
on a realer note, wtf even is the career market these days? we really wanna go into the humanities, but getting a degree in the humanities is basically a financial death sentence (at least from what i've heard), not to mention most of the easiest jobs to score with those types of degrees do NOT appeal to us. we gotta stop being so picky or something, but goddamn! it seems like every industry is closing up, getting replaced, outsourcing, laying off - the economic future looks bleak. the whole future looks bleak. but who am i to worry about things like that?
anyways. here's my spotify wrapped.
