Makes me glad that at my job, as support, I don't have a script. What you're describing is essentially how my job is, except without management and administrators breathing down my neck constantly about output.

Sounds like you could apply for pretty much any support position with the kind of experience you're getting now. But yeah, in an outfit like that, the only place to go is outside of your department into mid-management. There's no real growth in that position IMO, just an ever increasing workload until you finally crack and they replace you with someone fresh.

God damn you Canada!

God damn you Canada!

Is... is this about Canada's Female Soccer Team beating Sweden?

[scriver]

No! This is about so much more!

First of all, it's about Canada not losing to Sweden in the OG women's football final!

Then, an that is aduacious as shit to begin with, because they bloody deserved the medal to begin with, we come to the real atrocity: After the games had scored 1-1, after the two extension periods, after having scored the same amount of goals in the penalty shot shoot-off so far, when Swedish team cornerstone player Seger - which means victory, in the last shot of the shoot-off, in the last shot of her national team career, has the chance to make it it the Seger segershot of her career, they don't bloody let it in!

You can't trust anybody these days. Everybody's just looking out for themselves, nobody's thinking about the greater picture

Ugh I cracked a nail.  On my forefinger, too, though thankfully my off-hand.  It's just super annoying when I type because it exposed some of the particularly sensitive flesh.

One of my previously favorite podcasts is pretty hard anti-vax now. They'll talk about hot chaff paranormal shit and helpfully advise that listeners do not go off their medication and to continue listening to the best advice of medical experts in context of mental health or literally anyfuckingthing else a scant few minutes after whingeing about how the government wants to push their experimental covid vaccine that changes your genes. You gonna tell your listeners to adhere to best medical advice to get the vaccine as well, or nah?

Like, fuckin' hell, guys, I'm happy your corner of the world has something of a lid on the worldwide fucking pandemic but you really should know better than to buy into this bullshit when you've been telling stories about it for over a decade! You're supposed to talk about the bullshit, not peddle it! No, your lockdowns do not even begin to parallel the genocide of Uighar Muslims! Just... Fuck!

So, I'm in the process of moving. Settling into the new apartment while clearing out the old. I made an agreement with the landlord that I could potentially get out earlier than the agreed moving period in the contract, provided everything was ship-shape and he'd found a new tenant.

I've... Not been good about getting everything out of there and shined up. Part of it was feeling overwhelmed by everything else going on in life, such as trying to feel at home in the new apartment and sort out where everything is/should be, but a part of it was just not wanting to face the reality of having to have everything in 100% condition, because then I'd have to tell the dude I was ready, and then he'd have to inspect the place to see if I'd done a good enough job. And failing that inspection was horrifying to me.


So I've been a bit stressed as of late, because it's all been made really *real* on account of him finding a new interested party, and set up a viewing that was yesterday. Launched into a new deadline I finally manned up and put my gameface on. I spent about six hours during the day trying to get the place shaped up (mostly working on some limescale in the shower which hasn't budged an inch despite spending three different days attacking it), put in my best work, and cleared the very last bits out of the apartment.


...and it wasn't good enough. So today I'm hiring professional cleaners to come take care of it, because I have nothing left of me.

Godspeed Kagus, you need to wield rest like a weapon at this point. Hopefully the pros knock it out of the park

Grazie, and I hope so... I had to spend the morning calling 12 different organizations before I managed to find one who could both A) Answer their phone and B) Perform the work on such short notice.

I'm paying a bit of a premium for it, but hell.

When you live desynced of the majority by 4h and thus your mental hygiene is a subject of ridicule. But they're so smart replacing a superior item with another item who's only quality is to be more photogenic, and I'm an asshole if I suggest some well deserved buyers remorse.


You go work so they stop acting like they are more important but oh you don't fit our narrow understanding of what constitutes a valid daily routine so we get to threat you like shit while making uncalled for remarks. LEGIT. You know find a job you love so you'll never work a day in your life again, so we can still threat you like a bum.


Saturday I had a good evening, then I had a 70 minute walk back home after a 24h day after 5h sleep, it was the best thing that happened  and will happen all year... A nice kind of exhaustion one accepts gracefully, a happy kind of exhaustion... So evidently come punch my nose into a lack of sleep everybody we wouldn't want a genuine high to last for a few whole days.

It is done. I have consumed the iced cream in celebratory fashion. Mayhaps I will even sleep tonight.

Should've had it shaken, not stirred.

[None]

Oh, great thing, the flavour text specifies that it IS shaken, not stirred, and that as a result that chips ice and waters the drink down, making Bond less of a tough guy than he presumes to be.

p sure bond didn't go blind tho
