I'm pretty sure that's the only reason I haven't been smothered in my sleep yet.

AceOfFlames posted:I am a chronic procrastinator who just can’t work at home. I am in serious danger of being fired and my boss is riding us extra hard and even making us attend a mandatory time management course. I’d love to go back to the office but I don’t want to die or kill someone else. You tried all the usual tricks like dressing up in your work clothes, having a home office, using a work computer, etc? If you can't actually get your work done on time that's a problem, might want to start sending out resumes if you're in danger of being fired though because I doubt your workplace is going to get less toxic from here.

I'm pretty sure that's the only reason I haven't been smothered in my sleep yet. my wife works a hell of a lot harder than I do but in exchange for only needing like an hour to go through my emails I spend a lot of time cleaning and cooking because she's tied up in meetings all day

turd in my singlet posted:i'm reading In the Ruins of Neoliberalism by Wendy Brown and based on her work it really seems like this is a deliberately cultivated attitude originating in Milton Friedman and Friedrich Hayek's writings. they didn't just argue for a deregulated market-worshipping economy, they also explicitly argued for the abolishment of "society" and "the social", meaning the public spaces and conversations where different groups and classes were able to communicate with each other, with the deliberate goal of preventing social movements about equality. because the poors developing movements to reign in capitalism or confront injustice is "totalitarianism" you see Brunch Covidian posted:gently caress rear end DUMB SHITS

30 TO 50 FERAL HOG posted:I dont see how every single corp isn't looking at what the spend on rent and really considering the alternative for most of the petty tyrant managerial class, the cost of in-person work is less than their perceived benefit value of getting to directly lord over and control the lives, schedules, geographies, etc of their employees. I'm not being tongue in cheek here either. I don't think there is any possible rational way to explain it other than that. they know it's cheaper to work from home, and they're willing to spend that money in exchange for telling you to sit in THIS sit right here from 8am to 5pm every day

kind of glad what i do can't really be done from home because I absolutely can't do any work at home otherwise. fortunately it's in a basement lab that has zero interaction with anyone other than the same 3-4 people who all get tested weekly so i feel pretty safe. every time i sit down at my computer i get distracted and just do youtube and games instead of the writing i'm supposed to be doing to finish up my thesis. to be honest the past few months has just sorta been a spiralling sadness knowing the past 4 years of grad school was basically all a massive waste because finding a job during a pandemic without any sort of in-person networking is basically impossible. blatman posted:my dad once told me that a super long commute to work is a good thing because then I get to spend several hours a day away from my wife. from what I can tell this is business as usual for his generation Atrocious Joe posted:how sure is everyone that the FEMA money is real?

fermun posted:so do hotel owners just suck at lobbying or what? biden signed an executive order on the 22nd saying that FEMA will 100% pay for any hotel rooms used to house homeless people through the end of september, and tourism is getting hit really hard so you'd think hotel owners would be out there demanding their cut of the money, but it doesn't seem like anywhere is trying to expand homeless hotels? are mayors worried the homeless will think they're human if they get 8 months of being treated like humans? You're from sFSF. Remember how nimbys were whining about the homeless in hotels when we did this? Thats why

My computer is in my dining room table. Nos space for a desk. 3) Yes, I use my work laptop, what else I was procrastinating bad before now it's far far worse. I understand its my problem but separation of work and home was one of the few things keeping it under control. AceOfFlames has issued a correction as of 08:16 on Jan 26, 2021 |
