Damn. I can’t imagine what it takes to carry on after such abuse. As a lifelong sufferer of depression, I can empathize to hell and back with cashing out. I hope other survivors find what they need to keep going. Sad news.

In my world, it’s a vehicle for butter and salt. A great one, at that.

People say no one has ever chugged a cock with more grace. They actually say that. No one. Not ever. And they’re right.

Omg, how have I never seen this joke articulated before now. Hilarious. Solidarity with my LGBTQ+ friends.
- Comment on What do office workers actually do? 6 days ago:
I worked in software development as a QA engineer. Every day I’d load the current build of the OS and test for bugs, check that fixed bugs are truly fixed, and write bug reports. Once a week it was on me to come in early and do a quick rundown to see how usable the build was and then send a report to the entire org so people knew if it was too problematic to install and remain productive.
I worked in IT at a place that was perpetually under water. I spent all day troubleshooting either end-user computers or servers. We never had a break from tickets, so there was always work to be done unless the holidays were in season and users were taking time off.
I worked IT Exec Support for a high-up individual. It required being on-call and meeting them at their office in different cities and being the personal IT for their staff. It was pretty unpleasant in that the exec never communicated effectively and was insulated by their staff such that they had unrealistic expectations about how things should work. I was proud to land the job, but I’m glad to be done with it.
I now work in IT at a place that is super organized. I mostly wait for someone to call with an issue. Most things are pretty easy to fix. Some days I have to administer our inbox and direct users or create tickets. During that time, I’m always busy. On the days when it’s not that, I surf Lemmy (on wfh days) or read a book (on in-office days) between calls. I also configure devices for people and the like (think upgrades and new employees). I’ll probably stay here until retirement cause it’s the easiest job I’ve ever had.

Start coughing loudly and see if they’re sharp enough to infer what that means (if they can hear you, you can hear them).

That’s commitment that I don’t posses. I respect the willingness to injure oneself to avoid a situation.

Sounds like you have rude colleagues.
- Comment on Beachfront property 1 week ago:
I walked out of a concert because we were at the top of those stairs in a huge arena. Just felt like I would fall forward out of my seat for no reason, which is completely ludicrous but that didn’t stop my unease. The seats sucked anyway.

A well executed ad.
- Comment on Beachfront property 1 week ago:
My irrational fear of heights would cause me paralysis on these stairs. It happened in a train station that had plexiglass walls around the stairs. It felt too open and I crouched uncontrollable fear as my partner tried to console me. A cop came to see what was wrong and d that was the thing that motivated me to push through and make it the rest of the way.
