I ate a far too salty dinner last night and didn't sleep well as a result. I'm dragging today, omg.

I guess I'm lucky I didn't get a nasty migraine as a result, because dehydration's a trigger for me. Wow, I am suck at taking care of myself.

need moar coffee

Still here, just lurking. Hoping everyone's doing all right.

Wait, I take that back, some of the mess came about when I had to get data recovery service in 2013...close enough.

Randomish, but does anyone have a rec for MP3 organiser software on OSX?

I need to just bite the bullet and do this, it's been over a freakin' decade.

I feel like the origin of the 'quiet quitting' concept is in direct conversation with that mindset, and with the fact that workers' rights in the US are a pittance.

When your boss can fire you for whatever reason* in a lot of states, and everything has been garbage globally, and you have no annual leave and you CANNOT EVEN...well. Why not.

* confusingly, this is called 'right to work', which means something very different in UK working life

Which is not to say there's not toxic stuff around work in other countries! But as they say, everything is bigger in America.

The whole 'Protestant work ethic' thing is not just hyperbole for humour's sake.

I feel like there needs to be an acknowledgement in The Discourse that what 'quiet quitting' looks like in the US is going to be different to the rest of the world. Hell, each country will be different, but the US will be waaaaay different.

I have spent *over a decade* trying to unlearn the toxic aspects of US working culture I've internalised, down to stuff ingrained in me from childhood. It is still not gone.

tfw your Firefox tabs are small enough that a misclick accidentally closes the one you're trying to open

Part of the problem is that the ADHD means I forget about it until I floss again (which is always at night, when you can't call the dentist).

Solidarity and encouragement welcome!

I need to call the dentist as I haven't been in over 2.5 years because pandemic.

And one of my molars hurts when I floss, so I'm pretty sure the filling is near end-of-life, but I've been procrastinating for a year on this (since I was double vaxxed).

I hate phone calls. Haaaate.

Finally gone cool and very rainy here, though that kind of scuppers my weekend plans.

Guess I will be tromping around in a raincoat.

For some reason, my sinuses have been loathing the good weather over the past week and a bit. I'm in the office today, thinking things were fine, but they've just clamped down hard.

Time to go find the ibuprofen I stashed in the lockers.
