My mom taught me growing up that you can never be too professional. Going by that advice, I think A & B at the same time is the clear answer.

Please forgive me because after a really shitty day at work I’m going to be direct and say “it’s not you.” I don’t know you or your work situation, but I have worked with so many people that felt this way. I feel this way sometimes too. I think a lot of people on Lemmy will say they feel this way at times. Hell I bet your coworkers feel this sometimes too.

Work sucks. It sucks more than ever too. Most companies are running on skeleton crews. Someone leaves, takes a sick day, or takes PTO, and the whole thing falls apart. You’re still expected to somehow optimize through all of this instead of the company hiring additional people.

Fuck that. You’re awesome because you show up and do your job through all the bullshit. I have worked with people that don’t always put up the best “metrics”, or whatever bullshit measurement your middle manager uses to make themselves look good, but those folks brought other soft skills to the team that made the day better.

You’re human. Vent. Rant. Be upset. Feel your feelings. We all know the current situation sucks and no one can blame you for needing to get it off your chest. More people need to speak up and point out how shitty it is because it’s just getting worse.

Anyway, if you want someone to vent with then DM me and we can complain together, maybe start a riot or something.

Sick embroidery!

What an absolute baller.

Also, on another note, I really love and appreciate your posts. They have introduced me to a lot of art and artists I wouldn’t have otherwise known about.

C is for conifers, more than five hundred kinds.

I know it’s a bit of a joke considering the post but I hope you’re ok. Just in case it’s not joke, if you need a hand getting to a therapist or just to vent I’m here to listen.

I feel like the perfect album can exist for anyone. Sometimes an album hits just right at a specific time in your life. It becomes the background soundtrack for your day to day life. For me, it is The Postal Service’s Give Up. There are so many reasons I love that album and to me there are no throwaway songs. It feels altogether ephemeral for me.

So yeah, it’s highly subjective, but I think it’s possible for all of us to experience music on this level. I hope you one day experience it, OP.

Almost every type of Streptomyces releases geosmin when they die. Now your butt can too.
