welcome to the new age
Got a dogshit performance review because I did not conform to the pointless metrics we’re judged against, like ‘Positivity’ and ‘Responsiveness’ (because I didn’t smile every day and I don’t answer teams messages after hours.) I hate this job. Fuck capitalism.
Dystopian shit right here— you’re not allowed to feel anything but joy
Oh not joy, Fake joy!
Hang in there OP, I left the company I worked for early last year for reasons like that. Sure isn’t the easiest thing to do (x-gen here) but I feel like it’s always tm a good solution when your job sucks(the soul out of you).
Coffee? CHECK. Baked bread? CHECK. Not dead? CHECK.
Off to a good start.
Absolutely the correct order of checks
Certainly can’t check for dead before coffee
they’re the same picture meme
It just started! Check back in a few months :P
I echo this. Ask again later :P
I’ve managed to migrate from air mattress and blanket to couch and blanket and I think avoided being hungover, so not too shabby.
did my traditional new year’s day bike ride. had about 12-15 people show up! rode ~15 miles at an easy pace and feeling great.
Can I come?
sure!
That’s awesome.
it’s been great! i met this woman on jan 1 and we’ve been talking we have a great emotional connection.
Thinking about resolutions, I want to be more active this year but want to find something that feels convenient enough to not give me an excuse. There’s a gym near my office, so I might try to do a quick half hour workout before going in since 70% of the battle is leaving the house
Everything hurts
What are y’all up to tonight?
Broke up with my long distance girlfriend, I couldn’t handle the distance, it’s the most painful thing I have ever done, but I just felt so sad knowing that it might be years before I ever get to see her 🥲
I’m excited about the new year. I’ve made some new friends and want to explore that. And I might be falling in love but a part of me also hopes that’s not the case.
No one in the neighborhood set off midnight fireworks this year, so that was nice. Got a few last minute plant orders that I’ll be shipping out tomorrow, which feels like a great start for the year. My wife had to put in some wfh hours to process pre-authorizations for the new year so this morning was spent trying to finalize my GDQ prize submission (way too close to the deadline on this one).
I hope 2024 is better than the trainwreck that was 2019 to 2023…
Celebrated with the young 'uns till 01:20 in the morning and no hangover, so two good things - can still drink moderately and stay up past midnight! Yay!
What about you?
I’m fed up already. Neighbours felt the need to party, with music and screaming, until about 4am. 2024 looks to be significantly more financially challenging than 2023 as my primary source of income has had the final nail in its coffin. I’m not looking forward to going back to university next week - I like the course as a whole, I just despise one of my fellow students and the thought of having to endure his obnoxiousness for another two and a half years is just…
I’m starting this year from a place of having almost completely given up, and it’s all downhill from here.
