I'm on a roll with rats this week...

Nine whole rat moods!

Irate, Apathetic, Frustrated


Amused, Bitchy, Grumpy


Aggravated, Cranky, Lethargic


That's a fair lot of rats right there!

Aggravated is actually running a bit late from the previous leg of moodthemeinayear's schedule, and is finally done, yay! It's also a pretty accurate ratty slap-fight 😂 Cranky and Grumpy are a callback to Content, because honestly, wouldn't you be cranky and/or grumpy if you were about to have a nap with your favorite teddy bear and got pulled away to do something else? I also had a fun time coming up with the "swear words" for Bitchy 😜 That said, I am looking forward to getting these "angry" moods out of the way and moving on to something new.

I also remembered to keep a separate file for Apathetic's wheel this time around; if I make another rat using a wheel, I'll be prepared!

Honestly? I'm dreaming of quitting, going back to the university and getting my Master's out, so I could apply to a greater variety of jobs. Despite everything i feel like it's the less stressful option. Blue-collar jobs are really treating the workers like expendable rags to squeeze dry and cast away. /sorry about opening up, I've just needed to spit it out and most of my friends are in a worse rut, either jobless or having actual mental breakouts, so I feel like I'm complaining over nothing.

Oof, I feel that. They like to work us to the bone and then some. Mind, I'm in food service, so I'm not sure if that properly counts as blue-collar, but still...

And no worries about venting; everyone's gotta let some go now and again, and this isn't a bad post for that level of rant, you know?

Food service absolutely counts! What I've heard it's almost worse than cleaning.

Haha, the level of identification definitely fits the icons...
