[fereldanwench]

its been a struggle sunday for sure today

I think a lot these days about how much bigger the U.S. is than Europe. I mean, part of this is just working for a European company---I talk to our legal counsel based in Paris, and they forget that California (about 75% the size of all of France) has a new law we have to care about, because---well, that's just a state! who cares about a state! My colleagues regularly refuse to travel to a country that's essentially 3 hours of train travel away, because that's so far! ignoring the fact that I have traveled 4 hours to our sister company within the U.S. and regularly drive 1+ hours to the office. (While that's annoying and I don't advocate for it, it's not necessarily unthinkable, that's my point.)

On my way home, I was listening to an NPR story about the Portugal model of drug diversion. It was a great story, thoughtfully reported and contextualized in the recent backlash against decriminalization in the U.S.---but their point of comparison with Portugal was New Jersey. Because they're about the same size, the Republic of Portugal and one of the smallest states in my nation. I just think that when we ask ourselves why things work differently in different countries, "literally, physically different" should occasionally feature in the conversation.

ok look getting paid to do all the stupid little trainings from the comfort of my own home is super cool and leagues better than my prior work environments however the only thing worse than those stupid trainings is NOT having those stupid trainings to do, having nothing to do, and sitting here twiddling my thumbs and pretending i should be paid for this. i am going to deglove my arms

wfh can be weird psychologically but i have a pretty ideal birdwatching spot from where I've set up so at least there's that

[megkuna]

wondering if maybe. i could use adhd medications or if it's all in my head

I saw the Barbie movie and never longed for the instructions on how to make something more. Not that color, not that lining, but that mood.

And someone saw the same movie and just went "Yeah, I can make that happen".

They don't know I exist, they just knew people like me exist. And then put my dreams on sale for £7.20 while offer lasts, plus the willingness to transcribe YT instructions.

my department is apparently no longer hybrid, but “on-site with ad-hoc remote work”. i’m just gonna see how long i can get away with ignoring that

It has been a very wild, long, and excitement filled day and I don't think I'm finishing today's prompt before midnight hnnnnnn. I really want to sleep haha but I'm gonna get it done. I've already written a chunk of it so I'll just post both tomorrow fjl;askldfj

[rimouskis]

"why am I going crazy," I ask myself, before realizing it's been nearly two weeks since I've been able to spend any time with my friends

[thewholedamnboulangerie]

you are telling me that the only day this week that I’m working in the office is Wednesday. the Wednesday when I’ve pencilled in the very important BOC Lineup Going Insanes. THAT WEDNESDAY???

[gobbluthbutagirl]

the fact that i have been back in the second-worst carolina’s neighbor to the south for over two weeks now and this is the first night i have actually been able to sleep in my own room due to all the junk my siblings left in there that had to be cleared out first. insanity

[calamitouscynic]
