Work-Life Balance

Photo by Fuu J Work-life balance refers to the equilibrium between work and personal life demands. It is about allocating time, energy, and attention to professional and personal pursuits to avoid excessive stress, burnout, and neglect of personal well-being. Achieving a work-life balance does not necessarily mean spending equal time on work and personal activities but instead finding a rhythm…

How To Balance Your Daytime and Nighttime Activities So That You Don't Burn Yourself Out More Than You Already Have

It had been a long few minutes since he'd opened the door and there were a lot of questions running through Dick's head. Most pressing of which was how this kid seems to have information he should not have.

"How did you..?" he asked, but the words wouldn't leave completely. There's so much he wants to know, so much he wants to ask.

"How do I what?" Danny tilted his head like the child he seems to be is.

"How do you know?" Dick knows he sounds weak. There's no hiding that, but there are a lot of implications in what the kid has said so far and none of it is painting a very happy picture for him.

"Oh!" Danny had the audacity to smile, "You want to know how I know you moonlight as a vigilante!" And of course he knows. Dick knows he knows, but he'd held a little bit of hope that the child Danny was mistaken. Danny's smile softened a bit as he explained, "Your hair and voice match up in both jobs almost perfectly. Not to mention your build and how you hold yourself. There's also the matter of your overall vibes, but that's not something living beings can normally pick up on." Excuse him? "Well, not living humans, at least, so no worries on that end!"

"Excuse me?" Dick was fairly sure his heart just stopped beating for a moment there.

"Anyway, I was a hero back home for a while, too. I know what it's like to have to walk the tightrope between maintaining a civilian cover and a hero persona. I know how it feels to have to keep secrets from everyone because anyone who knows will be in danger." he rambled, Though, admittedly, our circumstances are quite different. I was working as a hero all hours of the day as well as going to school. You only have to worry about properly balancing between day and night jobs. Either way, me having more to bounce between just makes me al the more qualified to help you!"

Oh. Oh he did not like that. He didn't like a single thing that just came out of the kid's mouth. Because that's what he is, a kid. "Are you...Are you alright?"

"Not in the slightest," Danny admitted with an even smaller smile. Then, it brightened, not quite to a grin, but to something similar, "But I'm here to make sure you are."

He gets points for being honest, but Dick felt his heart shatter. He knew for a fact that he'd never worked with this kid before. He also knew that the Justice League didn't know about him. If they did, he would've been picked up and dropped with either the Young Justice team or the Titans.

Dick wasn't going to ask why he became a hero because that's not his place. It's more of a 'third mission with the team' kind of questions, anyway. Most of the heroes didn't have many options when they took up the mantle. Asking what Danny can do is a more appropriate question, but he wasn't going to ask that, either.

"Now that that's out of the way," Danny turned a few pages from the table of contents to another one that was topped with 'Why Sleep Scheduling Is Important' in the blue glitter pen that Dick was starting to suspect he favored. "You're not getting enough sleep. Following you around - no one's been able to find me for a while, so don't worry about that - for the last two weeks has given me some really worrisome information on you."

Dick was worrying. He was worrying a lot and even more questions were coming to the forefront of his mind.

"Your dayjob is as an officer on the Bludhaven Police Force, or BPD for short." He was looking over the page he'd turned to very aptly and Dick realized that the kid had notes written on him. "The average hours per week for police across the country is forty hours. Gotham and Bludhaven are the exceptions. As a member of the BPD, you work a solid two days and two hours. Six nights a week, you work as Nightwing from eight in the evening to three in the morning. The last day, you take off, which is good. No deserable pattern, so good on you for that. Regardless, that's seven hour nights and ten hour days, with one day off and one day on call as an officer. Seven hours are now left in your day for personal time, eating, and sleeping. That's not a healthy way to live."

Oh, god, the kid had honest to god notes on him! What the hell!

Danny didn't even skip a beat as he pulled Dick's attention back to him and his binder. "I've drawn up a schedule for you to follow." The back of the page had a meticulously drawn schedule, complete with blocks of time to eat, sleep, work both jobs, travel, personal time, and still have a bit extra left over. It was titled 'Ideal End Result' in green marker. "Drastic changes right away will only affect you negatively, so we're starting off smaller." The next page over had another schedule titled 'Where To Begin'. "I've only pulled one hour from your Nightwing hours because I know important that time is to you and the city. I am, however, going to be having you submit an appeal to your boss to cut back your hours from fifty a week to forty a week. That way, you'll only be working eight hours a day and not ten. You'll still be on call for one day, and you'll have that last day off. Altogether, you'll be going be going from working seventeen hours a day to fourteen hours a day. Nine in the morning to five in the afternoon, and eight in the evening to two in the morning. Not including breaks at work or travel time. It opens up a few more hours for you to sleep!"

"You really think the chief is going to pull back my hours?" Dick raised an eyebrow in question.

"He will if he knows what's good for him."

"You know I can arrest you for that threat, right?"

"Yeah, but you won't." And, damn it, he's right.

Although, there was now another thing he had to know. "How to you plan on enforcing this schedule of yours?"

Danny seemed to have been waiting for this. He got a gleam in his eye as he pulled a black folder from his bag, not breaking eye contact with Dick. He placed it on the table and pushed it across. "Congratulations, it's a boy."

weighing the pros/cons of listing a job that i intend to quit after ~2 months on my resume because it would allow me to list incredibly difficult senior responsibilities that would elevate my resume from like a solid B to an A but idk how many employers just write you off if you have experience that short in your most recent job. anyway i hate you resumes i hate you indeed i hate you linkedin i hate you soulless HR reps i hate you rejection emails i hate you 5-step interview processes ending in ghosting

[timemachineyeah]

the fact that I cannot simply quit my job. there’s plenty of food and space and skilled people in the world. things could function so much better with a tenth the labor if we were efficient about it. but we aren’t. and under capitalism I love my job - I am incredibly lucky to have it and even find it fulfilling in its way. but also I am disabled and my life would be 1000% easier if I just didn’t have to find miracle jobs to make what still comes to below poverty wages given how few hours I can manage. but even though the amount of money I make is play money to other people, it’s the only thing giving me dignity, both the dignity of privacy in spending and the false dignity of being a “productive member of society”. plus, like, I gotta eat and feed my cats, even if I’m currently rent free. but sometimes I think about the ways money and my job (and their relationship with my health) play as such large factors in my decision making and I just think, ideally, those would have less weight. ideally I could just quit my job and somehow still have money. not because I don’t love the work, but because of the limitations having to maintain both a work schedule and my fatigue put on me.

The one thing I wanna do more of is be more social in general. I've been in my own little bubble for awhile now, and I wanna get myself back out there. Ended up spending the last week refreshing myself and putting myself out there a little more.

More BG3 brain:

I have spent a while trying to work out Mae’s relationship with her archfey patron, and her patron’s personality, and I’ve got that mostly on lock, so now I’m thinking about what her patron thinks of Astarion and that’s just like. really funny to me. I think Astarion is living with the vibe where like, it’s like if you’re dating a woman and she brings you to her family reunion and one of her aunts who she’s kinda close to is perfectly polite to you, but you can tell she’s kinda looking down her nose at you. Like she doesn’t like your vibes. Like she’s gonna pull your girlfriend to the side and ask are you sure? and she’ll respect that the answer is yes but she’s just like. You know you are on your way to becoming the somewhat-questionable in-law in her eyes. You can tell.

Except instead of “weird rich aunt”, it’s “Archfey who gives your girlfriend warlock powers”. So like. There’s that.

1. I put a bunch of my plants out on the balcony for some extra sun as we get closer to the fall and The Darkness

2. Immediately had the thought of “it’s nice to have my balcony so full of plants but sad that it basically empties out my apartment of growing things :(“

3. From where I’m sitting at my desk, I can still fully see 9 plants inside and there’s another behind my monitor and another in the bathroom and two more in my bedroom

4. I think, possibly, growing up in a forest with an intense gardening mom may have, slightly, maybe, caused me to have unhinged needs for plants in my environment

the phill and myeol vs faneolli and ajin parallel is insane. i am thinking about it….

Important burning question in case we need this detail in fics:

Does the mafia world operate on a 5 day work week? Im not talking about the henchmen or smaller gangs but the big players. The bosses and their immediate circle of employees.

Like oh make sure you get that email about counterfeit antique trade in before 5 pm Friday US time. They’ve got happy hours at that time there so you can be sure we won’t get the response until Monday. And anyways the boss said we can’t make you work this weekend and give you a comp off later. There was a lot of confusion over who qualified for comp offs so you know we want to avoid that.

In the ghost train AU do either of the brothers get Ultra beasts companions?

Unfortunately, no. Ultra Beasts are awesome, but Ultra Space and the Distortion World are two verrry different things.

They might end up picking up some stowaways from their distortion-closing missions, though. If you are a trainer in Unova looking for a pokemon or regional form from another place or time, the Subway Bosses can probably catch one if they don't already have one.

The squad has a lot of pokemon, between the twins' two teams, Emmet's joltiks and Ingo's sneaslets, Ingo's Hisui team, and Dawn's present and past team that she brought with her... So they are gonna want to find good homes for the distortion pokemon that get stranded in Unova.

Hey Marti! Soooo, what does Berkeley actually think of Wren? Are there any feelings there? I know he is the most selfish man in the world, but he's an interesting character. Also, every time I think your writing can't get any better, you surprise me. You're so talented. Thank you for sharing your hard work. SV-240 will always be one of - if not my favorite - whump story.

Hey! Thank you so much, seeing you in my notifs always makes me smile and I'm really honored that SV-240 is among your favorites! ❤️

Berkeley can imagine a different world where he and Wren are together; he used to genuinely like Wren before Daniel brought up the idea of buying him. When that happened, he just... stopped seeing Wren as someone to like, dislike, befriend, date; Wren became just a part of Berkeley's job at that point. On SV-240 Berkeley's opinion about Wren was basically "fun to hurt", and now, well, he absolutely hates him.
