Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., plans to introduce legislation that would reduce the standard workweek from 40 hours per week to 32 hours per week, without lowering pay.

Another thing that sucks about being a neurodivergent person in the US is the fact that if I work 40hours a week anywhere, I start to go insane. Not to mention the countless studies that show the numerous benefits of working a 32 hour work week over 4 days. But whenever I complain about working a 5 day work week (I will get insanely suicidal if I do this for more than 2 weeks straight), all I get are blank stares. And it's so insanely frustrating.

I gotta get out of here.

I am going to give it ten more months.

And then I am jumping ship.

I am not going to be in that 5% that dies in three years.

I refuse.

I would break my own heart before I gave up.

I am not worth giving anything up for, to others.

But I am all that I have.

I never really had anything else.

I cannot work full-time anymore. I feel so absolutely shitty. There is nothing to be done for it. And there is no sympathy here.

I have so many dreams that I have not even started yet, but my life is already halfway over. Maybe even much farther.

I am going to give it ten more months, and then it is time to grab on to a life boat and start paddling to the nearest lighthouse.

I am going to start casting a wide net and grab on to the few connections I have.

Took 2 days off from work for my birthday....and I got shit done....I ran errands, I did loads of laundry.....I met a friend for dinner....I took pleasure walks for myself and also went to the pharmacy twice in an hour to sort out an RX issue. I got takeout instead of delivery because I had time.....I cleaned my desk.

Most if the time my job isnt hard.....its a tech support job. It requires training and aptitude...and patience.....a lot of patience. But i get breaks between calls.....and i right emails and test things and do other bits and peices of small work. But I also spend a lot of my time waiting and being available. I don't know who will need me and when so I can't wander off to clean things or get food.....because you must be avaliable.

And its not tiring as restaurants work, or a call center job, nor as all consuming as academic or Healthcare.

But at the end of the week I need a day to recover....and a day to do all the chores that I missed over the other 6 days abd i still fail....

And I like to think that if only worked 4 days a week.....I could have a day when I do my chores better, and a day for adventure and art. And a day to sort of recovered but also sort of do things.

But this five day work week feels designed to always make me come up just a little bit short on life....

But today, Adventure!

uaw president (united auto workers union) speaking in front of congress. (he begins at 0:38)

paraphrased, not exact:

working class people aren't lazy, they are fed up.

there are people who don't want to work. but they are not the blue-collar workers. the lazy ones are the wall street freeloaders, the masters of passive income. taking advantage of laborers' production.

the people who we never talk about for how little they work, how little they contribute to humanity are the wall street freeloaders. not blue-collar workers.

3 families control as much money as the bottom 50% of usamerican families. and it needs to stop.

The Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers International Union will be live streaming for the next 32 hours. This fundraising is for members in Memphis who have been on strike since June and for the striking Mack truck workers in Florida.

when I read these books on parenting across different cultures I am powerfully struck by how insane it is that we americans have been duped into thinking that american work culture is at all normal or inevitable. the book I just finished on Dutch parenting is like oh yeah Dutch people are encouraged to work part-time so they can spend time on family, travel, and leisure pursuits. who wants to work 40 hours a week? also if you work after 5pm or take work home you must be deeply unwell. oh and if it is sunny out and you do not ditch your job to sit outside at a cafe with your friends enjoying the beautiful day then what is wrong with you. I think when I go back to work I am going to really aggressively channel that energy. I’m going to keep outlook and teams off my phone and I’m not going to take anything home (literally or emotionally) and I’m not going to feel guilty in the slightest for not being available outside of working hours. my former coworker who I love and respect so much also suggested I negotiate going down to 80% FTE instead of 100% for a while so I can either leave early every day or take Fridays off, which is something she and another coworker of mine did when their kids were born. not sure I can make that work with my budget but boy oh boy I would love that.
