I had a trip to Disneyland already planned so I rolled the dice and went because I'm an absolute idiot. Things you'd expect:
None of the above, because per the people who worked there, that would ruin the happiness. That didn't stop them refusing to touch things on the ride and having the attendees do it instead. Jimmy Carter fucked around with this message at 00:42 on Mar 9, 2020 |

WFH has really been not chill for me and has been even harder to get work done so I decided to finally look up the symptoms of Adult ADHD and welp like 2/3rds of the symptoms were word-for-word from my last performance review. I have a telemedicine appointment with my doc tomorrow morning to see what specialist they can hook me up with in These Uncertain Times.

last week I had a complete breakdown from stress at my job and my manager said 'stop answering emails right now, call me tomorrow with what you want to do' and at which point they immediately granted my request for several weeks of time off and said that I should work from wherever in the country I feel the most comfortable, especially if I can be with family. it feels extremely weird that I was mentally expecting anything other than this but many years of being told 'sign this paper acknowledging you're being put on documented coaching because you're late regularly. No we don't care that you take the subway, maybe leave home earlier' I don't know what to feel any more.

despite the whining in Crain’s about it, when NYC implemented mandatory paid sick time, flu transmission rates dropped like 40% and 25% never used any sick time anyway, and the vast majority don’t use up all their hours. But we can’t have that nationwide because it’ll somehow cripple the economy.

extremely anecdotal evidence but a bunch of people at work, within the span of a few weeks, announced that they/their partner is pregnant and they'll be taking New Parent leave in a bit. One guy I work with decided to gently caress off to his In-laws place in Canada for it and I cannot say I blame him.

my sister is still having her wedding in Miami in 2 months because she ‘wants to get it over with and all the venues are booked out for 2021 anyways’. when I told her I was concerned about going because my GF has had on-and-off bronchitis and pneumonia for the last 6 months and would probably die if she got The COVID, the response was ‘no you come here and leave her home and quarantine when you get back this is important’. Now I’m just gonna send a case of wine their way and just take the vacation time to go to like Big Sur.

having so many things tied to a not-easily-changeable phone number is such a dumb and stupid thing. Debt collections via phone is just preying on your desire to be accessible to friends by proxy. anyways what im trying to say is never give any company your actual phone number ever. They either get Google Voice or the non-emergency phone number for your local police department.

current wfh status: the wifi6 Ubiquiti AP showed up solved the problem where my router's radios were failing and I had to run a 50 foot ethernet cable across my apartment so I could work. Now I can make 20 SSIDs to complain about being kept up by my neighbor having loud sex with the windows open too.

COVID has been such a massive net benefit for me and it is extremely hard to square that circle with the knowledge that people I know/the world just are suddenly turbofucked. I had a complete breakdown at work and all that happened was me getting to take time off and discovering that I've actually had a mental disorder for the majority of my life and it's extremely treatable and now i'm better than ever. the stock portfolio is doing gangbusters and I get to putter around and get my pilots license while people I know are going 'welp there's another round of layoffs coming let's see if I make it this time'. it is also unsurprisingly extremely difficult to talk through this with friends.

I found the news article where my lovely state school says they're only raising in-state tuition by 25% over 5 years (justified by the College Price Index aka what other universities are charging). This is A Deal For Students, because if you went to a public college in another state, you'd be paying 2-4 times as much!

I am still utterly shocked I have not yet gotten it, so I'm going to blame that on only using (K)N-95 masks from day one. I let myself get guilt-tripped by my family and went to my sister's goddamn wedding in goddamn Florida in goddamn October and it's one of the things I will regret to the end of my days. Somehow haven't gotten it from continuing to work on my pilots license, but to be fair you're gonna get some good air circulation when you open the windows in a Cessna at 120 mph

Are you not actively dying? You won’t get an ambulance. You are? Can you take an Uber to the hospital by chance?

DELETE CASCADE posted:if you gently caress up your taxes unintentionally (ie not tax fraud), you will not go to jail. you might owe the irs money though. there are three reasons why filing taxes is so complicated. the first is rich people: the more complication, the more chances for your accountant to find deductions. the second is intuit. the third is republicans, who want every american to have the experience of typing in their w-2 so they can have that moment of thinking "wait a second, i paid HOW MUCH in taxes this year??" and then a smug older man appears and says "welcome to the republican party" it is my firm belief that most of people's hatred of Big Government comes from the 2 institutions that everyone interacts with: the DMV and the IRS. Fix those and we're like 40% of the way to socialized medicine.

Going into the office was bullshit because 90% of my meetings consisted of going to a conference room to video-chat with someone in another conference room. I'm contributing the exact same amount now, it's just that sometimes I'm browsing the halal meat section of Costco Business Center which is a net benefit.
