Me: "I'm going to get project work done today.. and like be productive."

Work: "I know you had plans but INCIDENT TIMES BE HAPPENING! Oh... and the deadline for performance reviews."

On one hand... the idea of Murderbot Diaries getting a live action adaptation by Apple TV is interesting...

On the other.. very manly man for Murderbot... does not jive... and I'm expecting an extreme white washing..

Also translating cynical monologue to screen.. seems like it would be hard.

what the fuck... I actually had fun at a company christmas party for once.. that is like the weirdest damn thing.
Granted.. I unintentionally collected a posse of like a dozen queer and queer adjacent folks from ops and dragged them to the outside part of the venue and hung out for 4 hours but still..
Of course now I am suffering with no voice xD

@mawr I struggle with this a lot.

We recently had our yearly self reviews at my new employer and was having long talk with my manager because I felt like I could have done more and was feeling guilty over ending up sick enough to get admitted to the hospital for a few days during a critical point in a project I was our teams primary representative on that had a lot of C-suite eyes on it.. and someone apparently mentioned I was attending project meetings from the hospital bed while being pumped full of antibiotics to him.

The end result made me feel a lot better.
Paraphrasing him but. "I really value what you bring to our Team and feel very good about the current team dynamic. It is normal that not everyone has the same amount of bandwidth and I'd rather you take on less work than get burned out. During your first year here you've taken on two major projects that were highest priority for the company and managed to keep them moving forward. You are doing great, other managers regularly ask if you are available for projects but I'd rather you be focused on one or two major projects than burning midnight oil to keep velocity and constantly context switching."

Like.. some days I barely manage to bang out some random answers to stuff and maybe a code review or two. Other days my brain is on fire and I'll spit out the thing I've supposedly been working on for the last two weeks and has been simmering in my head for weeks.. in like 6 hours and then collapse into a puddle.

And that is just like... work. Home life.. taking care of my self? Never enough time for everything.

@anthracite I got the flu and pneumonia jab together this year when I was being discharged from a 2 day stay in patient.. sadly I was still pretty sick so no idea if it how they effected me.

Bleh... human bodies are weird. So.. I can't tolerate large amounts of dairy any more.. unless it is like butter for cooking or heavy cream that has been sauteed when I make garlic mashed potatoes. Like I can't eat icecream without getting sick, even with lactaid. D:

Oh and like some mild, white cheeses, jack, queso in small amounts.

I guess because I basically didn't eat dairy for a year other than small amounts of butter for cooking and often I use avocado or olive oil instead.

@kistaro I dunno.. one of my coworkers regularly has a like a 5ft long fox plush in the background... but yeah. I know those feels though for me.. its like.. disorganized shelving, kobold and dragon plushies

@kelseyhusky That sounds incredibly stressful and crappy. D:

Though I was under the impression most dental adhesives were zinc free these days.

@kistaro We host our gitea at work. Generally it works really well until someone does something very foolish but I can definitely see the advantage to self hosting your own.

Offers of sweets have been made as is proper... now i'm sleepy.

@Pathia @Draekos

I'm sure everything will work out just fine!
