Dunno if it’s cuz she took her first independent steps this week? But Luna has been waking up at 3am and refusing to sleep while not touching someone after that point. For days now. 3+ hour middle of the night awake, also fighting naps, etc etc.
We tired.
ETA and to be clear she still has other wakeups before that, too. But those are typical. Awake for hours isn’t. 5:15 wakeups on the other hand… typical. Send coffee.
Waving hello from 4am
My work is doing a “Maintain Don’t Gain” challenge for the holiday season 
If you have the will/energy to push back, there are good scripts on Ask a Manager for this:
It’s already rolled out for the whole company (~1000 people) for this year, but I will try to use this to ward off future weight-based initiatives.
They’re also giving positive points for “healthy” behaviors and negative points for “unhealthy” behaviors. I don’t disagree with most of their categorizations, necessarily, but it still doesn’t sit well with me at all.
Negative points?! Ugh. UGH
I disputed a mystery charge on a debit card and now I think that card is frozen which I only learned when my Netflix payment didn’t go through because that’s the only thing I really use that card for. But now for some reason Netflix won’t accept any other payment method after half an hour of trying and I don’t know how to fix it
My screen management app is being fucky and I keep getting stuck in doom loops.
If it was just points for the “positive behavior” categories I’d have far fewer issues.
When I first opened the PDF, I saw “Goal: 120…” and immediately assumed it meant 120 lbs, which is RIDICULOUS, but it made me cringe so hard. I haven’t weighed 120 lbs since I was 13. I would have to chop off a leg to get to 120 lbs again, haha. But for a split second it still seemed like a goal that should be attainable for a person of my height, if I was just better at trying harder.
I read that as scream management app and thought it was a brilliant idea and is probably very popular right now.
That is so gross. I thought we grew out of thinking this was okay! Bad HR.
losing points for eating more than one serving of sweets…during the time of year that we all look forward to our favorite sweets and enjoying them with friends and family?? During a time of year that is extra emotionally charged for many people and coping with baking and sharing fun seasonal treats helps to make it feel lighter?
WTF to your HR…
You get to ignore the entire thing, right?
But I could win prizes!
It’s all voluntary, and I don’t plan to participate. You have to weigh in (via picture or in-office) to join, and I don’t want to.
Oh yeah - FUCK that! IF weight is tied to health (a big IF), isn’t that private health info?
No no no no no, everything about this sucks. At least it’s not mandatory
Are we, like, 100% sure that the Onion didn’t buy all of reality instead of just InfoWars?
ETA - If it’s not clear, this is an NPR article. Not the Onion.
Can we please have the bang-skull-against-wall emoji back?
I have an amount of $ left on my student loans that is less than what Biden said he’d forgive, and I’d been paying the minimum until it was clear where student loan forgiveness was headed. Guess I should pay those off lol
