      Allow me to translate: The last day of holiday break is the worst. I’m usually anxious on Sundays for the same reason, but the extended time off makes it a lot worse. I don’t want to give up the freedom of this time and behave like a domesticated animal again.

        At my age, I’m always mindful that I’m getting more and more behind the times, and that this is very possibly normal younger generation talk. I really wouldn’t know. But this seems more like the person left school too soon.

            That’s fine 🙂 I chose that username as a troll, and the people getting trolled don’t even realize they’re being trolled: it’s all the haters who post the exact same thing and think they’re being really clever, but don’t realize they’re like the 10,000th parrot repeating the same boring predictable thing.

    We got a Snow day! All roads closed.

    Unfortunately, I WFH on Mondays so, yes, I too am wallowing in sea of dread.

    if you dread your job, you should figure out what steps you need to take in order to change that, and then take the first step.

    “impossible/can’t/don’t want to/etc.”

    ok. enjoy work tomorrow

    edit: there are many situations in which i very sincerely sympathize with people’s struggles: inherited diseases/disability; living in a warzone; disowned by parents for being (insert literally any reason); among others-- but “i hate my job”-- not so much. yea, changing things isn’t always simple or easy, and sometimes involves great risk, but every day you choose (yes, CHOOSE) to do absolutely nothing (except maybe complain) about the thing making you unhappy is one day closer to your last

      My landlord doesn’t provide litter boxes for his cats because he wants them to just go outside where he hasn’t cleaned for years. One of his dogs killed the smaller dog of my roommate. He acts like a fucking animal expert and opines freely to his church youth group, presenting as having his shit together despite never having a full time job in his life.

      These takes are always so childish to me. Like the person who writes it clearly isn’t an adult, hasn’t lived in the adult world, or has been privileged with circumstances that allow them to live the entire span of their lives as an ignorant and pompous child. Spoiled by a complete absence of adversary to the point they start to feel a purely delusional sense of mastery over life that needs to be shared.

      My landlord can take your vapid, vague advice no problem. In fact it seems like the kind of advice he’d give.
