Work talk: So for some fucking reason, I'm doing good at my job. The problem is that it's not a career job. There are no benefits and no savings option. They just fired a bunch of drivers that weren't doing great and kept me on even though I was supposed to just be temp. I guess it's something. Solidarity for those that got let go.

Story time: I accidentally ratted on a co-worker years ago and got him fired over a dumb joke and ever since I've made it a workplace mantra to just not rat out people. They can be the shittiest workers but I won't say shit. I feel really bad for that guy getting canned and not just because he was my pill guy. So, solidarity. We all need to eat.

Switching gears. I got 2 days off starting today but I also work 4 days this week. I told my boss at the beginning that I only wanted 3. I'm not making a big deal about it now because the extra day makes up for only getting 2 days last week. I'm gonna tell bossmain that I only want 3 days going forward unless he absolutely needs me for a 4th. Like if we are short people or someone quits/gets fired, I can pick up an extra shift. I'm old and my body can't take 4 days.

Ok, ulterior motive is that I'm working on my web stuff, I am onboarded for a volunteer open source mobile app project, and I am working on starting my PSL branch which now includes a book club. All that on top of parental duties and house chores has now filled up all my time. So 3 days for now seems right.

Tism Talk:

I went to a Lego convention with my partner, kids, and in-laws and got so overwhelmed with the amount of people there that I left 20 minutes in and sat in the car crying, listing to stimmy music, and trying to calm down. Never cried for over-stimulation before so that was new.
