I thought you said magic "teats" and I was intrigued.
All right, yes, date and shop and hang out and go to school and save the world from unspeakable demons. You know, I wanna do girlie stuff!

Our wings are not tired.
That's some timing for the network to go kaflooey.

Oh, well, my manager thinks I'm great, so my desire to quit is more about burnout and a general disenchantment with Silicon Valley. I also don't know what to be when I grow up, so while I could change careers, not working at all seems like a really attractive option. Unsustainable, but attractive.
I really do need to get myself an ADHD evaluation. I imagine I'd have more energy if I wasn't constantly fighting my brain to do things I need to do when I need to do them.

And I just saw on Facebook that the sale opening is postponed but have not gotten an email about it. Glad I’m not scheduled to open at least!

ADHD evaluation is a good idea! Oh, hey, my therapist diagnosed me with job burnout a few years ago. It was right before I got laid off/transferred and changed therapists due to geographical challenges so I don’t remember what she suggested to do about it. She was kind of hilariously excited to be able to tell me what was wrong, though. But two birds with one application of mental health coverage, maybe

Ok, there’s an official email, I feel slightly better. This is going to be a nightmare for the schedulers. Glad that’s not my job.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Good luck, -t. May the chaos be something you can merely observe from a comfortable distance.
shrift, are there still potential transfer options?

Wow, that's super deluxe. Makes White Lotus look like a Ramada Inn.
I had a brief fantasy of "Oh that would be kind of cool..." and then I watched the film with the kind of country club rich dudes I hate making my skin crawl.
Yes, it would be cool to visit Antartica or the Hebrides in my own home. No, I don't want to be trapped on a boat with people like that.

Shrift I hear you on all of that. Especially the “but nothing else I’m qualified for/will get paid decently for seems interesting either” part. We had a recent company survey and my manager was going over the overall results and her personal results, in a team meeting today, and she was very concerned about two of the “lower than average” results, one of which was “the amount of work required for my job is reasonable” (I’m shocked even half said “yes”! I think I either said neutral or no) and the other was “I am excited to go to work every day”, which I was like “I’m glad to be paid and have health insurance but excited every day seems like a big stretch”
