    The thing is at Christmas everyone feels the same way so at least in an office, you have the luxury of most work being done at a snails pace. My big problem this year was that I booked my holidays ending with the family stuff and that was a bad idea. I needed that week holiday after being with family all week

    Salute to all the service industry workers who had to smile through the “oh you poor thing, they’re making you work on Christmas” from the people who insisted on using the service on Christmas. If they’re really lucky they might even get a few Christian extremist customers who berates them for working on Christmas because that’s a sin and they’re going to hell.

    Depends on the job. I’ve had some jobs where I always felt like a slave and lost the will to live. And finally after years of shit jobs after shit jobs, I got this current job. It is a drop from heavens and I’ll never let it go until I retire.

    For me: I had a moment today where all I could think about was that meme which went around a few years ago that was along the lines of …

    You wake up. You’re still a lizard sunning on a red rock. It was all a dream. The concept of selling feet pics to pay back student loans is already losing its meaning as you open and lick your own eyeballs to moisten them. Time to eat a bug.

    I’ve been thinking of quitting my current job.

    It’s got good working conditions, but a lot of the people I work with are so massively incompetent and don’t give a shit that it makes working here miserable.

    The holidays just made me realize how utterly miserable I am. So I’ve updated my resume and I’ve started applying somewhere else.

    I come in today, and there’s like a hundred fires and everyone’s running around like headless chickens.

    I can’t wait to get the fuck out of here.

    I don’t really do New Years Resolutions, but holy shit my goal for 2024 is to get a new job.

      Yeah, I like my job so that’s probably part of it, but also doing something rewarding really helps.
