unfortunately twitter (and instagram, and facebook, and youtube) are blocked at my work. sa and tumblr are open for an hour per day but then they get blocked too. working in this place is like doing time

Could you create some sort of dummy of yourself made of chicken feathers and fool them? So that you could leave the compound?

it's funny because it has come to the higher-ups' attention that miners have a sky-high rate of mental illness and suicide, and obviously severely mentally ill people have a lower productivity and if someone kills themselves you have to replace them (money!) but actually changing the work conditions here would be expensive (money!!) so instead we get locked in this awful depressing industrialist concrete nightmare from 7am to 4pm every day and there are suicide hotline and depression awareness posters tacked up everywhere, like in every single room

so i sit there in my tiny windowless paperwork cubicle feeling like my brain is trying to chew its way out of my skull from total understimulation like a parrot tearing its feathers out and the one thing i have to look at that's not a work order or a featureless grey wall is a poster about suicide

You'd think having to put up posters about suicide hotlines and depression awareness in every single room of the workplace would be some sort of clue to management that they're doing something terribly wrong

Avshalom this lemons-as-lemonade advice is potentially obnoxious of course but jobs like that can be really good when they inform literature.

the weirdest thing about my slow psychological disintegration due to this place is that i've become a compulsive donator to charity. like i always donated as much as i could but now it's become a serious compulsion and i am blowing hundreds of dollars at a time and i can't stop, i think it's because it's the only way to make my working life feel like anything other than a ravenous spiritual void

although they just keep their environmental incidents on the server where anyone can access them and there are a shitload of multiple-megalitre diesel leaks and groundwater contamination issues and stuff that never, ever gets out to the public

my favourite was finding this really positive-sounding internal release about how indigenous land rights in the area have officially been overturned in a court of law, allowing much more land to be purchased and explored for mining without fear of meddling from pesky aboriginal groups!
