    I’ve realised how much of my life I’ve dedicated to work needlessly.

    I’ve been home all day and I’ve lost touch with the things I do for enjoyment. All I want to do is grab the work laptop and keep working.

    Don’t end up like me. Draw the line.

      I think there are times when dedication and long hours are needed to learn and advance, and then when the rewards of that are attained then a person can relax a bit.

      but working all the time? not generally a good idea

      Ask yourself where the habit comes from. And then try to think back to a time when you didn’t have that habit, and how you felt. I do the same thing. For me it came from a place of validation.

        My father never worked a day in my life so working hard to me, means being different than him.

    last day before His Lordship hits 40. Much hilarity and old fart jokes.

    BUT i did build an assistive frame for his ADHD brain (his spatial awareness ranks somewhere around a golden retriever puppy), as he’s planning out the rail spacing for our pull out drawer clothesline. bit of 3D printing, bit of t-track and voila, he’s got a solid three dimensional frame to play with, including full slide capabilities.

    behold

    Ikea cushion peg very much there to clarify, we want to be able to keep the pegs on the front pole, and they slide up when we put it away. So the pole placement needs to be calculated to accommodate the peg swing. T track is same height as the mid point on the drawer sides, the 700x350s are the same ones I’m using as height spacers for the slides. He just could not wrap his head around it last night, so I made up a mini system so he can slide them around and adjust, then just measure from the front to the pole when he’s happy

    From the other account manager:

    They’re going on a hiring spree lol

    Also, my co-worker believes that if something is on a PowerPoint it’s legally binding.

    Ladies and gentlemen, my team mate…

      This weekend is looking positively chilly, I can’t wait. I was sweating up a storm when out and about earlier, feels humid and barely any wind.

      Maybe a hoodie in something light and diaphanous, in lace maybe. With pockets of course, but definitely a hoodie for hot weather. Call it a sunburn prevention hoodie … This could catch on.

          I bet somewhere like Uniqlo has something like that. Otherwise maybe a store that sells middle eastern style clothes. We need to stop copying european and US fashion and mirror the places that have our climate

              I have these thin, stretchy trousers I wear to work in summer. They’re so light, you can tell they were made for humid climates

              Nup. Nothing to worry about with respect to dressing for the weather. Appropriation is when you try to make money out of snitching other cultures’ good ideas. I will happily wear a sarong, even though it’s not my culture. If I did dress to my culture only, I’d be wearing wool next to the skin all year round. Stuff that for a game of soldiers.

    A gang of lorikeets have been feasting on a nearby fig tree. There is much tweeting and chattering, and the occasional screeching dispute over a desirable branch. They are very pretty though.

    Aww man I don’t wanna cook!Pouts Got an early start tomorrow because hot. After pizza day and the shower I had when I got home, I just want to flake. Elder was really upset and disgusted because he thought his father shitted in the shower… I had to refrain from laughing as I told him it was the Lush Posh Chocolate body wash that his dad got randomly smeared in the bath tub 🤣

          I get hung up about things for a little while, usually to a couple of hours to a day or so depending on the severity.

          I wish my mind could just let it go instantly so I wouldn’t feel like crap for awhile.

            You gotta ask yourself (where people are concerned) are they thinking about you as much as you’re thinking about them? Probably not.

              More than probably not but I’m also thinking about myself if that helps.

                Not quite but I’ll give you this advice. Start practising making quick decisions on the small stuff instead of procrastinating then when something bigger comes along it becomes easier to make right decisions. Once that decision is done, it’s done, move onto something else.
