How are you doing? - Kiwi Farms Wellness Check

I sometimes check the job listings in my neck of the woods, it makes me miss when remote work was the future of work. What the fuck I gain from going into the office, when I have to bring the same laptop I use, and have to fight over who sits where. At least back in the day, you had a cubicle, or office and your "own" desktop to use. Whomever invented the open office deserves a medal for killing productivity.

But idk, seems wrong of me to ask God for anything. I've been given enough in life. Only thing I should be asking for anymore is death. But one should not tempt God, if I did that I might actually get what I asked for and not like it one bit.

God doesn't play a zero-sum game; when he blesses you, it doesn't take away a blessing that someone else might have otherwise gotten. He is "able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think," he is big enough, you might even say he's post-scarcity. No request is too big or too small, though sometimes he says no (or, "wait") instead of yes. I'm frequently reminded that he cares about my stupid problems even when no human being does, and it's comforting.

Fixed that for you.

My company is trying to kill me with stress. Today was horrendous, and I just about managed to turn it into something less horrendous but that is just today. Crisis postponed but not averted.
There is a huge amount to do, and a small core of decent people trying to do it, all carrying 3x the load they should, with completely insufficient resources, and multiple layers of incompetence, and utter retardation.
It’s awful. I have been feel physically sick with it all day.

Ah, the corporate world. You will always be understaffed for actual productive shit, but there is no end to the supply of freeloaders who just get in the way. Hopefully the rest of the week will improve somewhat.

There are an estimated 360 million different companies and corporations in the world today.

But only one @Otterly

Please keep that in mind.

Thank you both.
I did actually change jobs a while back but it turned out to be the same stress with different company branding. But maybe I do need a change. Anyone got a biowarfare lab they want running, or a bespoke cloning project they fancy? Perhaps I need to pitch to Lauren Sanchez be is how much fun thylacines would be as pets or something…

I'll ask Peter Thiel if they want to cook up a new 'rona, or something in the near future.

Good work news: I worked things out with my coworkers/friends

Bad work news: They have implemented a shitty AI system into the only part of my job that I genuinely enjoy and it now takes maybe 5 times as long to complete the task as it did before

Oh God, don't let @Otterly be involved in something like that. With her on the project, the fucking thing would actually work.

Do I get my avenging angel moment where I reveal to the cackling elites that I switched out the targeting just a teeny tiny little bit, before they all choke to death in front of me?
Tempting….

Turned out the trash bin HAD been blown a half mile away and into a ditch. I happened to notice it while driving. I'm glad there aren't the kind of people who steal trash bins around here.

It's fucking bizarre. Usually they just get knocked over by the wind.

Maybe it was an organised group heist carried out by a fiendish collaboration of bear and raccoon?
(Or the wind.)

I sure could use some Polymarket wins, and a better stock portfolio.

That would be the good ending.

At my last job whenever the management started making unreasonable demands we would just sabotage equipment and blame the breakdowns on the excessive uptime without maintenance - so they'd actually hire more staff and release more funding for parts; since 'you have broken down and can no longer make money' is the only thing they understood. We'd use the funding to order parts we actually needed for other projects, and plug the good relays back into the 'broken' machine. All fixed you stupid fucking nigger! hahahahahha

I'm sure you have an equivalent option in the lab somewhere.

 

[Ughubughughughughughghlug]

I got the job I wanted more or less (well, a temporary version of it) and my half-decade nightmare is now over

 

[PetiteFeet]

Today has been fine. I am dreading tomorrow a bit because I'm attempting to return to that schooling thing I had going for me last year. I wanna do either English or German, brush up on my spoken English in a setting that on paper should be less scary but I'm really feeling my disordered thinking flaring up as we approach "the deadline". Which is silly because there's no commitment and no requirements on my part except to show up.
I am also torn and confused about my tard wrangler, a social worker took a look at my case and has been talking to my mother, who then informed me but I've had a headache for most of the day so I didn't quite absorb what was being relayed to me. The usual doompilled thoughts have emerged and I'm fighting myself to not cancel tomorrow.

My mother is having her second hip replacement tomorrow and I'm unironically afraid she'll suffer a second bout of serious infection like she did with her first hip replacement. She also has a slew of other physical health problems that can't be fixed, or she's too stuck in her ways to fix, which makes her more frail than a woman her age should be.

I should go sleep. It's not like I have any reason to stay up past 11PM anyway.
