I can't sleep because I've been obsessing about this argument I had with someone in another department this morning, and that ain't healthy at all. At least it didn't escalate and stayed civil but it's complete bs and it'll happen again, and that person is on days off now so it'll be a week or more before it comes up again, so there's no resolution there. And the thing is, even if she's right, my underlying premise that complacency is not a thing you base a plan on, no matter how many times it's worked for you in the past, is completely lost on, well generally that whole department. Anyway, gently caress a job. |

I made a strong cup of the coffee Derpies got me for Secret Santa and all was right with the world. Well, not actually right, but the kind of right that can only be found at the bottom of a good cup of coffee. *grinds teeth* gently caress-a-fuckin-job, LET'S GO!! |

Complacency: a feeling of calm satisfaction with your own abilities or situation that prevents you from trying harder Someone has built corporate process based on the expectation of complacency? This is crazy talk |

Old Brenda, who sits one cube over from me, talks to herself all day long. She's old as the hills so i guess it's understandable. Thank yob I have headphones and can just block out her prattlings w/ podcasts all day. Anyway, here's the wild part: I just walked by her desk and caught her enjoying a piping hot taco bell breakfast. wtf...

After a realtively chill start to the year, colleagues are once again trolling me (unintentionally I think) with meetings; euro peeps booking me for basic poo poo at 8am while US peeps are busy adding me to 8pm (my time) steering meetings Luckily I WFH so I can at least steal a couple hours in the middle of the day for aimless dicking about on the internet when I need to relax Also if anyone books me for anything after 8pm I am trashing on the call I don't give a gently caress |

at least four people at work are decently armed at any given time so i guess that's our active shooter plan i have a real shivvy pocket knife that can't cut poo poo and sometimes an endearing lil opinel grandpa knife that's actually kind of annoying to have to open and lock eh, anyway as the resident lurch/bouncer i'm gonna get it first and have to watch the action on killcam before I respawn |

NumptyScrub posted:all is not right with the world and anyone suggesting otherwise is full of poo poo People at work are at far higher risk of being killed by a coworker than a stranger. And our work has a primary focus on hobos. It's been a very stressful two years for us and for our clients/patients, so having de-escalation training for those of us who aren't already certified for such work is useful. But it shouldn't be necessary in any job or home or school. Everywhere, everyone is red and green |
