Ah yes, the eternal question of: does anyone at this company ever pick up their phones? is slowly morphing into: does anyone at this company respond to any communication at any time in any way ever

fantastic

day two of this unbearable regime and like honestly the negative effect that being chained to my desk for 9 hours and not being allowed to do anything has had on my mood is just. beyond anything.

look, I do my job and I do my job well and I do it on time. I should be allowed to dick around on tumblr if I want to (and of course it goes without saying that I actually do a lot of things…write books, study Italian, random adult things like dealing with bills and appointments and shit) so I’m not only being prevented from doing fun stuff in my downtime I’m also being prevented from doing actual useful, productive things

capitalism is the worst

My boss pissed me off by saying that I hold people to a high standard after I complained about those who show an inability to treat others with basic decency.

I’m sorry but I don’t think expecting people to treat others with kindness or, at the very least civility, is a high standard to hold. I think it’s the lowest fucking bar you can possibly set and anyway, if you can’t even do that I’m not going to waste my time on you.

Easily taking second place in the running for “most ridiculous things I’ve been paid to do” is writing a check request for a single penny

the single most ridiculous thing I’ve ever been paid to do was when I was paid to dye a dalmatian purple

don’t think I’m topping that one
