Ive been riding my bike to work for the past week or so and I've noticed a few things. One, of the two major roads that have bike lanes, both of them are shit and I have simply found an alternative route that uses sidestreets with less traffic, and two, random children on parking garage rooftops wildly overestimate my abilities.
To go into more detail on that second point:
The last stretch going to my work is a just steep enough decline that I've never noticed before when walking or driving, but am able to sail down into a pleasant breeze for about 3 blocks (baring stoplights and pedestrians). The downside, or rather the going up side of this, is that after a long day of work I might as well be climing everest biking home those first few blocks.
And of course, another thing I've noticed, is that no matter which way you're going there's a headwind.
So picture me, last week. 9 hour shift. No sitting down since I got on my bike that morning. Hot as balls but in that way it *could* theoretically be worse? In black pants and t-shirt as is dress code and I haven't gotten into the habit of bring shorts to change into yet. At the start of the summer I haven't been on a bike in at least 5 years, probably closer to 10, I am so incredibly out of shape.
So this goddamn child, this hooligan hanging out on the top of a three story parking garage, sees me battling for my goddam life, going uphill into a headwind and sweating so bad he can probably smell it from up there, calls "do a wheelie" like sir the only wheelie that's imminent from me is being blown back down the hill in such a way the front tires get caught first. The only trick doable from me right now is getting to the top without falling over.

cover letters are evil actually. yes let me take an hour or even multiple hours after working my exhausting current job to craft a personalized letter begging you to hire me that only has a 50/50 chance of reaching human hands and will, in all likelihood, not even get an automated rejection letter for my trouble

i also feel like sometimes my anxiety makes it seem worse than it is, like maybe she’s not even upset or mad and i’m just assuming bc i constantly think everyone hates me lol but i had a panic attack at work yesterday and took my break and bawled my eyes out in my car and i think i need a new job and i also just want to move far away honestly
how are you doing??
that’s why i said maybe she’s not feeling that way, anxiety makes it easy to get in your head and overthink… i’m really sorry though, panic attacks are hard enough but when they happen at work… the worst.
mood, i also hate my job, or rather my workplace. that pretty much sums it up 🤷♀️
