Annual review with my boss where she cosplays as the person she desperately wants to be while completely ignoring who she actually is, so of course that was very productive.

Being chronically online has me annoyed at people referencing things I heard years ago as if they’re brand new, but I understand that I’m the problem in that scenario

I bought an annual national park pass for an upcoming trip because it’s much more cost effective with the number of sites we’re visiting and of course this motherfucker has to put his stupid fucking face on it.

I think that being ghosted just elicits a feral response in me across the board and not just dating. I applied for a job 4 months ago, interviewed 3 months ago, the posting is still up, and someone internally is pulling hard for me, but no one answers me about an update.

With minimal comment on the halftime show (it was really, truly great), what’s funny is the whining of a particular demographic that it wasn’t “for them,” and it’s so funny what a lifetime of having everything catered to your tastes does to the minds of people when that’s no longer the case.

I’ve been making a point of noting how well I slept compared to how I spent the previous day:
>Doomscrolling/rotting all day? Poor sleep.
>Engaging brain with hobbies/literally anything but phone all day? Very good sleep.
Of course I will not learn from this, but someone might. My gift to you.

I don’t use AI for my grad school classwork for a lot of reasons, but someone made a discussion post last week that still included the “here’s your apa style paragraphs…” and not having to worry about doing that is definitely up there.

I guess there’s something freeing about being told that no one cares about my ideas and 2 decades of experience because I’m not a lead. Prepare for no thoughts, head empty coasting.

It’s actually kind of funny that if you have good hair/skin/health, etc. people almost always say it’s good genetics in addition to whatever work you might put in, but if the opposite is true people seem to automatically assume there’s some moral failing.

My coworker is 79, and sometimes I wonder how she takes so much longer to complete work than I do, but then I periodically remember that whenever she’s writing an email, she still breaks out a physical dictionary as if the entire internet isn’t right in front of her.

Lmao trying to fix something on my apple id and scrub the remaining vestiges of my married name and searching to see if my ex’s number is still in my phone and attached to me and end up calling my ex, who I have had no contact with for 3 years, twice…

One of my dogs hates baths so much that we can barely make ourselves do it and certainly not as often as we should because it is *always* an ordeal, and we decided this time to take him to the self wash at tractor supply, and truly it was the best $10 we’ve ever spent.

Looking at all the discussion posts in my graduate statistics class, I think my professor is so relieved I’m very clearly not using ChatGPT that he’s just giving me excellent grades even tho I’m very much phoning it in
