I’d like the answer to this too. It is the most depressing and defeating feeling - I JUST CLEANED THAT! Spouse routinely moves crap into any space I bother to clear.

Uuuh… that’s a capital offense around these parts.
My complaint for the day: My meetings are inconveniently spaced. I have some time right now to work, but 8:30-9:30 is generally socialization and brainstorming time. But then I have meetings the rest of the day with 15-30 minutes in between.
“Please do science that most organizations dedicate teams and decades to in between meetings where we tell you the necessary resources we promised won’t ever happen”
Maybe I should move to Australia and take up spider ranching.

This is not in any way a tiny complaint. But. There is a wildfire raging towards my town, already in the area where several of my friends live, and they’ve had to evacuate. I am lucky that so far I am in a safe area. I love living in the mountains. But f@ck! This is the 3rd wildfire that has been extremely close to an area where I live since I moved to CO, and it never stops being terrifying and stressful. It is super windy and dry here, so wildfires happen quickly and can grow to be out of control in a super short time span. I grew up evacuating every year for hurricanes, so I should be used to dealing with natural disasters…but nope, it never gets easier.

I haven’t even left for work yet and I need a nap. Last night I slept like garbage.
Also I’m totally going to be making a power point for a meeting during the meeting before it’s my turn.

My tiny complaint is that @anomalily’s super cozy-looking knit grey sweater she’s wearing in her cuddly sleeping cat photo is not my super-cozy knit grey sweater. WANT.

It’s so cozy. I got for like $14 from the overwhelming korean clothing website I go to when I need to live a different life narrative through clothes. They have excessive amounts of cozy cardigans, also very cozy pajamas.

Ahhhh. I too live in wildfire area. This time of year can be really scary, and I’m so sorry you’re dealing with it right now. Take care of yourself and your people, and I hope you can take some time to relax, too.
I dropped some of my leftovers on my skirt and on the floor

I swore in a meeting. It’s like an Ayn Rand novel in here. The incompetence, fear, refusal to take responsibility, whining, and general dumbfuckery really got to me today. I get called out by these people because I make things. Maybe it wasn’t perfect on the first go around, but at least I made something. I’m sitting in a room full of people who don’t create, they only critique with words they stole from other people’s mouths and phrases they are too afraid to grasp.

I think you mean they only criticize - critiquing would require knowledge and the guts to be honest and note good points and areas of improvement (IMHO).
I’ve cursed in meetings - sometimes it’s needed.

Excellent point. I often give them more credit than I mean to. I keep trying to ascribe proper motivation and intent to their actions. Like, I want to believe that they genuinely believe they are helping to make a better product. But yeah. You’re right. You’re so right.

They think it makes them look smart and thoughtful and “strategic” (hahaha! ) - and most leaders eat this BS with a spoon and a smile. They never stop to think about how easy it is to poke holes into an existing idea - but so hard to create and expand ideas into existence.

I’m so tired I can hardly keep my eyes open. But I’m also 60 miles from home, so if the iced tea I’m drinking right now doesn’t help, it looks like I’ll be trying to take a car nap.

5AM is too early to wake up every morning when I am having mild insomnia/trouble falling asleep at night. Unfortunately I have a DH who goes to bed later than me due to needing to do work, and a small mammal who can’t be left unattended.

My office mate’s manager walked in and startled me as I was taking a sip of coffee. Which attacked me. So I spent like 3 hours in a coffee stained shirt…
I should really keep a spare shirt. And/or workout clothes.

I went to Buffy the Vampire Slayer trivia night last night. The bar was tiny and there were no seats so I had to stand the whole time and today my lower back is ON FIRE. <-- is old. They also waited 5-10 minutes between each question. Why? So we’d buy more drinks?
Also, I am SO tired of eating a meal that is completely reasonable in size/calories/nutrients and still being STARVING. Having a really hard time controlling my weight these days because I can’t push through the growling stomach and shakiness and still concentrate on my job. WTF, body?
