Feels like a waste of my abilities to write high level analysis of issues such as the nuanced experience of men in nursing knowing that it's only going to be seen by like 20 people who aren't actually going to care all that much

How do you feel okay going back to the place of your trauma? Asking for a friend

Must be nice to go to sleep and wake up whenever you want. I don't know that life but watching my partner sleep until 9:30am doesn't even give me vicarious satisfaction

Sending in my vacation requests for the upcoming year is the worst

"Excuse me please may I have a break from the toil on these specific days...you know if that's cool with you it's okay if not"

My talents are being wasted right now

I should have been one of those people who writes students' papers for them. "Yeah I'll ramble for 3000 words about the intricate intersections of colonization that'll be 200 dollars please"

Sometimes I think about how if I got laid off then I'd be free but it wouldn't be my fault. No one can get mad at you for leaving if you didn't choose to leave...

And then I think it's time to really consider switching careers

Friends made dinner reservations for way too late to be eating dinner

I gotta stop snacking or I'm not going to eat dinner in *checks watch* 4 hours

I've been unable to go home for the past month and while the circumstances of that make me nervous to go back, I am thinking about the oven-bake clay I have there and how I really want to make some little guys

Who wants to work in an environment where they worry about every interaction with their manager because anything you say could be misinterpreted and twisted just because they dislike you and don't trust that you're capable of doing the job they hired you for?

Jobs would be a lot better if managers weren't just people who were good at what they did and then told that that translates to leading other people

I think if Canada wants to have a strong cultural identity we need to go back to doing what we're best at, making the weirdest fucking TV shows you've ever seen

The only problem with this method is trying to not look like a maniac during funny moments (of which there are many) while holding in my laughter

Getting through the workday by listening to the adventure zone balance for the 4th time

I need background noise while I'm working which varies from day to day depending on my energy levels but I forgot that listening to a comedy podcast in a public space means I have to now focus on holding in my laughter instead of doing my job

Another thing getting me through is knowing that it won't be forever. I choose to stay in this job for the security and benefits that come with it but at some point I will be able to make the choice to move on

Another day of trying to figure out how to convince myself that I should not quit my job on the spot because at least I am employed

My mom offered me a diamond that my parents happen to have because of one of my dad's old jobs to maybe get made into a ring so that the cost of that doesn't stop me getting engaged anymore

Oh I just realized I can post here about stuff that maybe I can't tell my partner

Vacation time should start the moment you start getting so excited about not having to work that you can't think about anything else

Actually I do have a couple of ideas for things to do for once but I know they won't be tasks valued by management

Another day of work another 8 hours of figuring out how I can feel like I'm accomplishing something in an environment that would rather give me busywork

Now is not the time but I'm planning on posting about some of the cool things we've found as my grandmother's house gets cleaned up. There's a lot of family history in there and some of the furniture/items/clothes actually go back into the 1800s

Love is taking your crowd averse self to very crowded places just so your partner can show you a new restaurant that does the same satay beef noodles you've tried at 3 other places already

If we didn't have to go through stuff so fast I would share some of the things we've found in my grandmother's house now that we're cleaning it out because there are some really wild things, some really mundane things, and some really special things

I'm only 2 days into hell week(s) and I'm so tired and I need a month off

Finally moving all of my stuff out of my old apartment and into the new one today...feels weird but I'm glad my family is letting me stay behind and just clean while they move my furniture...I just want a little more time to say goodbye

Once again feeling the struggle of not being able to start something you really want to do...I'm almost there but the waiting is so hard
