Boss asks us to think up project work for us to do.

Why would I want to think up more work for myself?

This is the best kind of assignment. Sell them something that sounds complicated but will be a breeze for you. Receive the accolades. Winning at the game of work.

The HR here can’t work out why I won’t jump through hoops for a bonus. We’re asked to come up with extra things to be doing for more money and when I said “my plate is full and my wage is fine” she got sooo mad.

It’s because the boss has no idea what to do, so it’s on you now. And if you can’t think of something, then you’re not doing your job (in boss’s eyes).

So I’ve got this project planned where I do nothing for a bit, and then I feel a bit better. Also I make sure to take bathroom breaks on the clock.

I wish I was rich. Not even to buy status symbol bullshit or luxuries. I’d sort basic needs for myself and my pet, get in a more stable position from scrambling for survival and then help others. Fucking fund food relief, accommodation, DV resources and animal shelters.

The conditions that have been created through greed are shameful in an affluent first world country (and unfortunately I’m not currently able to do much)

I used to wish I was rich enough to help people, now I wish society was rich enough that people didn’t need help.

the point is that it’s childish and unreasonable to expect someone to answer you when you want, on your timetable

a call or message is not a summons

people will answer when they are ready

So… still watching Alone S02. Wow, that Larry character… I‘ve read some comments regarding editing… blah, blah, but he just comes across terribly… Oh well, only on E08 so still some time to go.

In other gripes, I’ve had one of those everything happens threes… Can’t remember what the first one was, but last week I dropped my headphones on the ground after forgetting I wrapped them in my jumper (scratched up but still functioning fine), then I had the mother of all GYAHS, I picked up the dust buster and knocked the intercom handset off the wall which bounced onto the bench top and hit my glass of coffee and knocked it onto my iPad keyboard. Keyboard still works fine but smells like coffee… 😭 Lately, I just cannot…

Anyhoo, going to turn in soon, I have just felt so bone weary today, that’s been something else. Surprised I’m still standing tbh. Sleep tight DT! ✨
