Even when it's serious, it's just a shitty situation. I know everybody has to take care of themselves and that's why I try not to go to work when sick but most often that's what I'd like to do.

Like I'm a socialist and all but I hate the situation of talking to my boss and telling them I can't come in :(

In nearly every job I have had I have ended up either way more in charge than I wanted to be or a lynchpin that holds more together than I am paid for, and always way too quickly. I don't want to be there. I'm good at working, but I certainly don't yearn for the mines and never have. Never give 100%, they'll only want more.

RULES:


I am looking for mods!


1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.
