I cleared another $40k bonus hurdle today. I'm going to be sitting on a pile of cash and not doing things if this goes well. Also lol I hate everything. |

If I cost enough money to my boss maybe he'll fire me so I can go back to being a goblin full time. |

the boomers that are in my training group inexplicably cannot get through a single 3 minute youtube video without having tech issues so bad they need help from 3 different people at once. it's honestly impressive to watch it in action.

My boss just called me panicked and left a voice mail telling me his computer died. I guarantee he unplugged it again. But, it could really be dead. It's fifteen loving years old and he won't let me upgrade it. |

Tell him to use his phone instead because it is the better computer. My current phone is literally better spec in every way than my $2000 gaming rig from 15 years ago lol Also that is legit an option, the CEO of my place does not use a laptop and works exclusively from tablet and phone. |

Physically present at work but I can't get my brain to engage so nothing is getting accomplished. Did you know that sitting at a desk compulsively solving sudoku puzzles for the tiny hits of dopamine that don't come from actual work looks exactly like productivity to the outside observer? |

I like to look up the houses of recently deceased people while I'm at work and fantasize about living in the really nice ones. It's interesting to see where they lived anyway. Looking through the log books from, like, 1913 to see people's old timey causes of death is my poo poo though. Stuff like "Perpetual sadness" "Timber felling accident" "Accidental poisoning - ingestion of aftershave" "Grippe" "The consumption" |

Current mood: emailing a client from my phone in the bathroom and implying that the reason I haven't started on his request is because I've been out of the office and won't be back until Monday. Also, yeah gently caress that bonus delaying bullshit. If the invoices have been paid, they have the cash on hand to pay you your cut. Glad you've got a firm date to walk out of there in slow motion while the building explodes behind you. |

Happy birthday! I say go full on obnoxious with it for the zoom call. Party hat, streamers and balloons in the background a shirt proclaiming you to be the birthday orb. If you can get them to agree to singing, say "Great! Gimme one second." then turn out the lights and light candles on a cake or other desert of your choice to really complete the ambiance. |

Also it's BIG SCORPIO ENERGY SEASON so make them all wait while you unwrap "birthday presents" on zoom but it's literally your keyboard, mouse, office supplies, etc., and then profusely thank your local network weather anchor until you get muted. It's what Jesus would want. |

Gramps posted:Holy loving gently caress a job Per my boss I have to close this last bigass sale to a chain of indie hotels before 12/31 or I don't get my big chunk of bonus at all, even though contractually he's obligated and the board will make him pay me anyway, so it doesn't matter, because I already exceeded targets by ~8500% this year based on sheer luck of the draw in a competitor tanking entirely. So honestly I'm just doing my best to continue to be busy so I'm distracted, and then when I leave, I have 2 weeks of down time, then ramp up into New Job which is thankfully not even sales. Because I wasn't even hired for anything I do, and I'm okay with what I AM doing, but I would prefer to do what I was hired to do because I enjoy that. Sales is fine and I'm ok at it but it's mentally and physically very draining to be "on" all the time. |

But hey we get free snacks on payday Friday even though our checks don't hit the bank until Monday because it costs an extra $1.50 or employee to have them instantly deposit and we literally have six employees including my boss. |

Just lost a third key staff member in my training events. They like the conference but with the massive churn they're seeing in their organization, they aren't going to have time to help. That's three people in as many months. I'm now drawing up plans for how to scale the thing down in case somebody else quits. |

My coworker just came into the office with a "cold", and he's worried it'll keep him from practicing with his church band. The same one where everyone, including him, got covid a month ago. And his wife works in a covid ward. JESUS DOESNT WANT YOU TO GET PEOPLE SICK, BRO |

Some people are wilfully blind to how their actions and decisions affect others.  says even if you confronted them about it they'd make excuses and fail to change their behaviour, they have already rationalised it to themselves as acceptable
