How are you doing? - Kiwi Farms Wellness Check

Though my coworkers are nice people, they are also firmly on the woke bandwagon and that bothers me. Granted, I keep my politics to myself because I do love my job. But it sucks hearing my boss lament the fact that she's a biological woman and has undeserved privilege over transwomen. Listening to my coworkers unironically speaking positively about the sort of shit we openly mock and criticize on this website makes me die a little inside. This typically happens on the rare days when work is slow. All the same, I can't stand it.

However, I won't make a stink about it because I need my job. It wouldn't be worth powerleveling, so I just endure it.

I had a mock interview that didn't go great. I logged into the zoom meeting half an hour ahead of time but got kicked twice so I decided to wait until just before, only to find out that being kicked blocked me from the meeting so I could no longer rejoin until i could figure out how to join from a different setup which i had to configure and enable speakers and mic and a whole bunch of things, making me five minutes late for a 15 minute interview with a fixed end time. But otherwise I did do okay on it, i was able to answer the questions well but I was clearly unsettled by the technical issues I had and the feedback i got was i didn't bring enough energy to the interview (which i think sounds dumb but was probably an euphemism). Now to wait for the next step of my program.

A little bit of venting as no one is available right now, so I will just throw it into the void of the internet.
I am on the verge of a burnout. I am overworked, underpaid and today I was told I will have more work load. I am feeling a sharp pain in my arm and my coughs haven't gotten better.
I am on my way home and will rest, hopefully I will be better tomorrow, but right now I just feel really bad.

Hope you are all well. Brighter days will come.

What kind of sharp pain? If it's a deep one it could be heart related, which could be stress related.

It feels like something is pulling one of my tendons when I move it. Maybe it's just lack of sleep too, I haven't slept well because of work.

Maybe a small stretching routine would help? Don't go hard enough that you hurt yourself, but enough that you go through your full range of motions.

... I mean body stretches as in yoga or tai chi, not the other kind.

My CPU cooler decided to give up the ghost after years of loyal service. Unfortunately it decided to do it the night before an important public holiday so there's no way I can replace it until Wednesday and I have a CPU that can boil water faster than jet fuel can melt steel beams. Not the end of the world but definitely annoying.

I have an important task I need to do and because of that I have accomplished so much stuff today that is unrelated to the task in question.
 
My city finally finished working on a bike path that has been closed for repairs for nearly 2 years, I thought it was a mirage at first when I jogged past and saw all the fencing down. The original timeline for the project was 5 months so I don't know what the hell kind of technical/logisic/possibly demonic nightmare occured to stretch it out that long. (We did get hit with a several massive storms this year that diverted all the construction elsewhere, so that didn't help at all!)

But I'll be able to get to my volunteer work a lot faster and safer now, I've been riding my bike in a busy part of town as a detour and during the Summer it's downright dangerous. With the path I can safely ride my skateboard there again without fear of getting turned into pavement pizza.

I'm at my program's career fair which turned out to be like seven booths in a noisy overcrowded hallway. There's a better city one on the 10th, but I need to be at this one. At least I'll know to commit to sending resumes online.
