AMA i guess? i'm cass, she/they 37 year old sentient pile of salt, former pharmacy technician and sociology graduate student but currently unemployed

ooo what made you decide to go into sociology?

hh ♫ : GOSH well. I started off with media studies and i hated it cuz it was basically just learning stuff i already knew, then i switched to international studies and..... honestly didn't like it, but then i took soc 101 and just LOVED the class and the teacher and everything about it, so when i came back the third time (a story of laziness)

i decided to go with sociology and it was the best decision of my life

I went up to get my bachelors and minored in asian studies so i got to do both things i wanted to do

whats it like being a pile of salt

drowninginpears: MY WILDEST is working during Hurricane Sandy/after, my town had no power for a WEEK so we had to write everything down and keep meticulous records and it was probably the most stressful week of my life between that and i think school too

lazdo : its not so bad, i can season food easier this way

additional story: I never had any really wild customers but my boss was hit or miss (for context: this was my first job). so my mom got super sick and i took her to the doctor and he was like yeah uh take her to the ER, and my mom insisted waiting for my dad so i was like ok, let me call out

my boss was Not Happy and was like but i need you HERE and YOUR DAD CAN TAKE HER CANT HE? to which i was like IF HE IS NOT HERE IN TEN MINUTES I'M TAKING HER

and we went back and forth until he reluctantly was like ok but COME IN IF YOU CAN

he was a huge asshole about it and at the time i was already thinking of leaving

so inevitably, i called after hours and quit by leaving a message on the answering machine :'D

fast forward a few years and where did i end up, back there

LOL tasty

OH NICE wrt how you got into sociology!! aw man i'm glad that worked out for you? it's always nice when you kinda stumble into a passion

YEAH my college years were...... not the greatest in the beginning but it was either sociology or history (both profs were just superb) and sociology let me dabble in that a lot regardless
