Another oldie
Another oldie... but a goodie.
It's kind of amazing the extent to which COVID-era remote work policies proved this out. Simply not being in the office and subject to the myriad inanities and sanity's death by a thousand cuts was so nice.
This is my plan for next Friday. Only waiting for my earned bonus.
Quit with nothing lined up just cuz I can’t do this anymore (spent 6 mths saving up for this so I can take my time). Gunna spend a few months playing video games and working on my depression and anxiety.
This is great advice. I wish we had universal healthcare and a UBI/socialized housing so everyone could just walk when it sucks. But that’s precisely why we don’t have those things. Can’t let people have real choices or they will choose to walk.
I did this at my office at IBM a decade ago. I picked up a hammer and never looked back (added bonus: smashing shit got out some of the rage).
I just took some mushrooms and was fantasizing about moving to middle of nowhere and living off the land
I grew up in the middle of nowhere so I know the realities of that and I'm way too hedonist to actually do it but it's a nice dream
I would 100% end up like that guy from the Twilight Zone episode, who gets some time to himself & immediately breaks his glasses.
Now if only I didn't have to go 5 miles outside town, to reach a store that still stocks desirable inventory. When I realize that almost nothing is stored in town where the majority of sales would otherwise occur, I feel like our cities are just kinda doomed?
