So I just got done reading up on this book and ordered a copy. Thanks, I might also grab the audiobook since I sometimes have problems focusing on reading, and listening to a book is the only way I can finish it.

Funnily enough the boss is extremely open to new ideas and recognizes that I'm ready to move on. He's already told me that he's petitioning for extra budget now that we have surplus money company wide so that he can move me and two others up into low level management in project management roles. As he said the project management title will be fluid since each of you will be doing wildly different things based on your strengths.

I'm down for it since the majority of the things he says he wants to assign me are things I want to do. Sure there's a few things I'm not crazy about, but they aren't anywhere near deal breakers.

Word to your mother.

Honestly I could have written a novel worth of things, but I wanted to keep it short.

This, I use earbuds at work my entire shift (when I'm not in a meeting or on the phone) to 1) drown out the tinnitus, and 2) drown out the noise around me. Even though I'm 99% WFH now I still do it just to maintain my focus. I'm mostly podcasts and audiobooks, but when I really have to focus and work fast it all music and it's fast metal turned up to 11.

Yep, Dr. Lipschitz was definitely giving parents kickbacks.

The American brain drain.

And this is why I stopped dating, after a series of emotionally abusive relationships I decided to take some time off to figure out why I keep being attracted to toxic women. I've been single for just over 10 years and I don't have an answer but I have found comfort in being single.

I know a ton of people died, and countless more where hurt, and it hurt the economy, but as an introvert hermit, GOD DO I MISS LOCKDOWN.

I do my best to keep up the life style, but I'm still expected to go into the office every once in a while for my wasted day as we all call it.
