You like ships. You don't seem to be looking at the destinations. What you care about is the ships, and mine's the nicest.

knowing that I've made the decision to MOVE ON has given me freedom to just not give any fucks at all.

I hear that. Unfortunately, since I want to make an internal move, I really can't pull the "look at all the fucks I don't give" move until I find a new role and get an offer.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ugh, being at the end of your rope at a job is the worst. When at all possible, I find saying "fuck you" out loud at your email helps?

I hope that is a real raise, brenda! Could it be connected to any deduction that's stopped happening toward the end of the year?

What do I wear?? I mean, normally when I'm at sites I wear nice end of business casual, dresses or slacks and a blouse and cardigan. But this is a work from home day. I'd feel a bit weird getting dressed up (and this IS Seattle which is super chill), but I think jeans might be too casual.

Yeah, I'd go nicer than jeans, but not super dressy, just to be safe.

Did my work, had lunch at this place near my office that only sells chicken fingers (and turns out to be delicious, obviously), went for a walk, came home, raked leaves, and now I am free to watch tv. Good one!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Oh, brenda, maybe you hit a cap on some deduction? 401k or social security or something

There's a guy here who has a Keurig that he takes to the break room to use, then takes it back to his desk to protect it. I need to work out a visitation deal or something. Why are the silly things $100? Yes, it's laziness, but I don't drink enough coffee or tea do it the non-lazy way. Plus it would probably taste better than whatever jar of coffee grounds I'd be keeping in my desk drawer.

Ha ha, I'm totally doing that, and also I apparently walked 263 miles last month, so at least I'm channeling my towering fury into something?

My paycheck suddenly gets bigger when I hit the cap on my 401k contribution, but I usually get an alert. I'm hoping for a secret raise!

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I wish I could link to the Obi-Wan "look at the fucks I don't give" gif. And my phone tried to correct that to ducks.

Not deduction related. Both salary and target bonus amounts changed (by different %) on 10/11. My best guess is that with all the craziness of the past few months my manager forgot. We'll see.

Fortunately I already have plans to go out for drinks tonight. So that's covered.

Oooh, that is totally more interesting, brenda! Yay drinks, anyway.

I'm willing to give ducks.
