#Work

It’s not a problem tbh. It’s part if pour nature. We are animals like any other…bears hibernate. Most animals have inactive or less active periods of the year. Our current society has been structured to oppose the very idea. Meanwhile when colonizers encountered native Hawai’ians, they were baffled that work ended so early in the day — the way they planned things out was extremely efficient, but the colonizing force disapproved from a deeply entrenched belief that life was to toil constantly, even if avoidable, to the point of suffering. And followed by needlessly putting an end to it….

the main problem with this time of year is the irresistible urge to get fully into bed at like 5:34 pm and outside is like yesss, yesss do it, it's what you deserve yesss. like is it depression or is it just november

Pookie was very concerned that no one was chasing a spring across the floor. Don't worry, she took care of it.

Unmasked and making everyone sick.

I’ve been hearing about people showing up to work sick, testing positive for covid, and not wearing a mask and working sick, despite the CDC’s recommendation that people “Stay home and away from others”, and even after feeling better they say to mask when resuming normal activities.

CDC - Respiratory Virus Guidance March 1, 2024 Preventing Spread of Respiratory Viruses When You're Sick When you go back to your normal activities, take added precaution over the next 5 days, such as taking additional steps for cleaner air, hygiene, masks, physical distancing, and/or testing when you will be around other people indoors. This is especially important to protect people with factors that increase their risk of severe illness from respiratory viruses. Keep in mind that you may still be able to spread the virus that made you sick, even if you are feeling better. You are likely to be less contagious at this time, depending on factors like how long you were sick or how sick you were.

All year long I keep hearing stories about people who are actively sick and coughing and refusing to mask in confined spaces like subway trains and crowded workplaces. And even people refusing to mask when asked to by trapped elderly people in airplanes and healthcare settings. This is a very dicey situation with the coming American public health dark age and the threat of bird flu and mask bans.

Pretending to work on a Friday on December 20th is almost more exhausting than actually working. 🙄🎄

Around 2007 I had a temp job at Washington Water Power / Avista (a utility company). A lady who was retiring printed up these fliers, posted in the room with the party and the cake. It really struck me, so I saved a flier. For years it kicked around my apartment in a random box, and whenever it surfaced again I would remember her story, and that it was the story of many women at many jobs.

I lost the original paper eventually and was so grateful to find this scan of it tucked away in an old folder called "Misc" today.

Damn right! And I'm now almost as rich as Bruce Wayne!

All the female rogues are girlbosses. Poison Ivy? Girlboss. Selina Kyle? Definitely a Girlboss. Baby Doll? Bossiest of all the Girlbosses.

I guess the reason all that Backrooms stuff has never really fazed me is because I worked in on-site networking support for a while, and literally every city's downtown district is just Like That once you get off the beaten path. Not just the really big cities, either; the one I'm currently living in has a population of less than 250 000 – metro area included – and a downtown area about six blocks across, and the service corridors still manage to do some House of Leaves shit. At one point I was trying to map the route of a misbehaving network cable, started out in a shopping mall parking garage, and ended up surfacing in the basement of the casino across the street. Totally unsecured – apparently neither the mall's administration nor the casino's managers knew that particular service corridor existed.
