Starting to wonder why it’s even legal for me to just... do stuff without supervision.

I’ve signed legal documents. I own a boiler. I turn up to work and pay my internet bill and set the dishwasher to go overnight. And no one even checks whether I’m doing any of those things properly.
@girlonthenet And then at some point you realize the retirement you're planning for is actually way closer than you ever thought it could be. (Twelve years for me, which was half a lifetime when I was a callow youth but now those years pass by disturbingly quickly and I still have no idea what the hell I'll do other than "move somewhere that isn't a car-dominated suburban hellscape".)

@girlonthenet I have a story about that table saw and my genitals if you'd like to either laugh or make the
face@ifixcoinops @girlonthenet table saws are fitted with ball masher bars like blokes' bikes?

Every now and then the shock of adulthood hits me and I get this weird vertigo. Like I just realised I’m in a life boat adrift on an infinite ocean.
@girlonthenet oh boy, don't even get me started...

@girlonthenet yeah. I got the same feeling when I got home from the hospital with my newborn daughter. I was like: "They let me bring home a newborn to care for. How irresponsible of them......now what?"
Things worked out though.

@girlonthenet don't worry, they're working very hard to build supervision into everything, so you'll never have to take responsibility for anything ever again. You won' even have to go to the trouble of voting. Won't that be nice. 🥳

@girlonthenet I bought a fucking TABLE SAW and nobody even asked me if I was sure
@ifixcoinops @girlonthenet table saws terrify me, especially the giant ones you can throw planks through.
I still have the scar from putting a tenon saw into my foot.

@wollman @girlonthenet having retired the other thing they forget to tell you is that the older you get the further a mile gets. You can plan to escape into the wilds and then get arthritis and not be able to walk far, or discover your bus pass is useless in ruraldom with 2 services a day and no shops, but easily lose your driving licence to something

@la this is harrowing. They should issue all of us with a supervisor at all times.
-
@girlonthenet I have a story about that table saw and my genitals if you'd like to either laugh or make the
face@ifixcoinops I definitely need to know this.
-
@girlonthenet one time they put me in a ROOM and I had to talk to a CLIENT and it was a big IMPORTANT thing and they expected ME to explain it! I’m 12!!!
@NotTheLBCGuy This is absolutely terrifying. I hope secretly the clients were also children in adult skin suits.

@girlonthenet
Same.Sometimes I have to remind myself that the people who I would ask for validation that I'm 'doing it right' - were only in their 20's when they raised me, and they were probably feeling this exact same sensation.

@girlonthenet they all seemed to KNOW STUFF it was terrifying and nobody would give me a juice box and a hug to calm me down after

@girlonthenet disgraceful really. They let people like me go around to actual companies, applying to real jobs. Who do they think I am?

@NotTheLBCGuy breach of your human rights, in my opinion.
