Mandatory 'back to office' one day a week after July 4th weekend at my employer. Combined with airline cutbacks, no rogue "work from low-COL area across the country" here!

wowee, they've been having question/answer sessions about going back to work in the fall, and the admin is waffling about how remote working employees will need to go through the ADA accommodation process w/ provider documentation in order to continue teleworking. the sham excuse is that they need to have "consistency" across the organization wrt everyone coming back to the office. the hoi polloi is NOT responding kindly.

IMO be extremely insistent that you want to stop WFH ASAP but make sure to cough constantly while doing so. Suggest an in-person meeting about ending WFH.

bonus points if you can hork a loog right onto the lens of your camera during the coughing fit while you have focus.

Same, full time wfh is pretty good but if I must go in I would find it hard to complain about going in one or two days a week

back when i was still in facebook i posted that graph of the 2012 arctic ice melting way faster than normal. someone came in and yelled at me because the graph had, ‘a misleading y axis loving libs trying to scare people’ and i pointed out that even when you let the y-axis go to zero it was still a monumental and unprecedented loss of ice. then he ranted about how the numbers were all fake anyways and i learned my lesson about engaging those types of people

hold a gun to their balls and make them agree with you. and then shoot one of their testicular anyway. that would feel so good

"the hoi polloi" is redundant, as hoi already means "the" in greek.

i have like -5 years of expenses in the bank. gently caress my life. at least dying of coronavirus would save me from this depressing cycle where i spend many hours a day hating my existence and desperately trying to find a string of thoughts that leads me to being ok for 5 minutes before my brain takes me down another pit of depression. oh god is having a fun weekend occasionally worth the grind the rest of your life? don’t feel like it. but also what else can you do? i do have an idea for an idle game i’d love to execute but it’s gonna be a lot of learning how to do it before doing it and where the gently caress is that motivation gonna come from. heart attack soon please. if i started getting one i reckon run away into a bush in the nearest park so it’s unlikely you get saved before you die 👁👄👁 peace out

i mean, if we were to try to migrate yospos there is no real need for a wiki, the answer was always nntp. just need someone to take on the hardship of charging a few bucks for access.
