In the darkest of days

Can you please set them all on fire?

I need to see them be useful for something even if only as tinder.

Things they didn’t teach you at school

Is there a mental disorder where a person blames everyone and/or everything else for their problems, but never examine their own action or inaction as the problem itself? And at the same time fancies themselves a benevolent champion of sorts?

How do you handle such lunacy?

If I’m going to have a mental breakdown, I just need to know if there’s Wi-Fi in the psych ward.

Performative Management

TIL I learned a few new phrases: deflecting responsibility, passive delegation, manipulative framing, and prioritizing optics.

I basically fed ChatGPT my email thread and asked it to analyze the behaviors of the people sending the email.

My EOY review will be all about asserting boundaries and protecting my mental health.

End of year chaos

BTC hit $100k earlier today. It’s a crazy timeline!

I’m still poor though so here I am bitching about the most latest work thing: a Personal User Manual. That’s right you disingenuous fucks, let’s just skip the nuance of building relationships and assume that reading a manual replaces the organic process of learning how to work with someone.

High pitched cat screaming is my spirit animal

The joys of CONsulting

We recently hired a project manager who apparently isn’t going to manage projects (baffling, right?). She’s just supposed to “set us up with Agile methodology” and provide us with the right tools. It’s not a workshop, it’s a 3 – 6 month contract.

Have I been working incorrectly my entire life? I thought working actually required doing the work…

Nepo baby blessings

Was talking to an ex-coworker who’s currently having some damned good craic right now and he had only this to say about our resident nepo baby:

“May the roads rise up to meet his face.”

We miss that man so much every day.

Telegram temptation

My Monday’s been really productive. HBU?

Me: Man some of these emoji reactions are questionable af
Me: Hot dog and strawberry one 100000% sus
Me: When would you EVER use that
P: There are very few food emojis that wouldn’t DIRECTLY be used for innuendo
Me: Like that hot dog is SLIDING up and down in the bun
P: …oh come on now!
Me: Strawberry had some weird turn/squirt animation
Me: Like WHY
P: Jesus… now I’m just checking out sexualized food emojis
P: There goes my day

The myth of anonymity

Like how on earth is “anonymous feedback” supposed to work in a tiny team setting?

Do we have to write each other’s feedback to obfuscate the original author? Or do we all tell ChatGPT to do a rewrite so there’s just one voice?
