Slow day at work made me realise why I like this community so much.
It is the polar opposite of the hustle culture, and I despise the hustle culture. Here I can be comfortably adequate and still feel valid.
I haven't done a damn thing today at work. My inbox is empty. The helpdesk is stagnant. Nobody's come into my office with an emergency. I've been watching Star Trek TNG interrupted only by toilet and coffee breaks. I'll wait for the cleaning lady to check the trash cans (they're empty), lock up, and go pick up my dad's gift.
Just make sure you stocked up on magic smoke in case one of them blows a gasket or whatever. Once it runs out of magic smoke you have to send emails and mark tickets 'pending'.
We need more spaces where people can just be their unremarkable selves without being pushed a 'message', bombarded about a cause, or pressed to transact or trade. Just be. It's good for the soul.
Hell yea, brother. Also, I feel like Lemmy is now how reddit used to be 10 years ago where people are still nice and not just being dicks and arguing on every comment.
