I love writing, and my best brainstorming happens while driving. Sometimes I’ll just take a little drive to think about my ideas and try to flesh things out.

I’m a gay woman, but that smile kinda does it for me. Bro looks elated that he gets to rock Jake’s shit so thoroughly

I work in IT and talk on the phone all day and like 70% of end users just hang up at the end of calls. No goodbye or anything. It’s so fucking rude

Tysm!

I’m having an absolutely terrible day and I needed to see this. Thank you for posting. 🥹

So this is my problem!

Bro 9 hour workdays sound like hell. And the fact they want to know if you’re taking a shit is disgusting. I’m so sorry you have a job like that. I hope you’re able to get out of there.

I’m one of those people who got diagnosed with lupus. My life is just a House meme now.

I also deal with DNS that totally can’t be DNS like 3x/week

Dogs really are great.

Ty. I ended up calling off because I’m not use to my company in the hospital or dead. My coworker had the audacity to message me on Teams while he knows I’m off sick to ask about a thing I was working on. Can’t wait to leave this place

Ty! I’m contemplating calling off of work because I’m so winded all the time, but I wfh and my boss is a dickhead when it comes to taking time off unexpectedly. I’m also severely immunocompromised, which is why a cold developed into pneumonia in the first place.

Yo I totally get that time entry shit. I get automatic hate mail from my boss if I don’t hit 6 hrs of billable time. There’s a lot of unbillable duties I do in my position, so a lot of days I don’t hit my 6 and it’s annoying as fuck.

My boss is also a passive aggressive pos that I could rant about all day.

I’m in the easterm part of the country on top of everything else. In a very poor area. I’m looking at a commute if I can’t find a remote position. I currently work fully remote because I am very immunocompromised. I’m terrified of even hybrid positions getting me ill. I caught a cold that’s slowly turning into pneumonia and I just can’t fight it off. I have the feeling I’m going to end up hospitalized from it.

I feel like I could also be on the chopping block if my employer decides that they’re done with me. The only thing going for me is that it’s a small company and our growth in clientele alone is keeping me employed. If we are down by one person, we are absolutely slammed with work. It’s ridiculous.

Damn that really sucks. I’m sorry you aren’t appreciated for your skills and have to take on the role of teacher instead of doing your actual work.

I live outside of a large city and would be commuting into it. Wanting to live kinda rural and work in tech was not a good idea, but I’m in too deep now. -_-

In in the same boat as you, right down to the industry. Except I’m in the US and I’m only experienced enough to be a level 2 tech.

I have a friend tracking down a hybrid position lead at his company, but the commute for the in person days would be 1.5 hrs at least one way. He’s going to be seeing what the pay is and how many days I’d need to be in the office so I know if it’d be worth it. I don’t want to waste my time and the time of his coworkers if the pay and schedule wouldn’t be right.

My workplace had become super toxic and I’m desperate for another job, but the market is abysmal. I’m hoping for a miracle, because I want out of my current job asap

Lme when I go grocery shopping without eating first

Muscovies are such great moms. They’re so sweet but will also try to throw hands if they think you’re a threat. My Muscovy hen is very protective. She breached containment one day recently to try to fight a deer, a buck specifically, that had gotten too close to the pen for her liking. I went outside and she had him cornered and was hissing and kept charging him. The deer was so confused and scared. I distracted my bird long enough for the buck to leave and managed to get her contained again without issue.
