Real big "Here I am, sitting in my cubicle while fascism fucking explodes" feelings this morning. Not a fan!

#it doesn't help that two of my team are out of the office today and my inbox is pretty dead #just doing fuck all (I've sent one email today) and stewing in *gesture vaguely* everything #ugh #Rachel's life

Logged in to my retirement plan account to make sure I'm not unknowingly investing in anything morally repugnant and man, all this information is basically gobbledygook.

#I really need to call the help line or whatever and be like ''I need you to explain all this to me like I'm an idiot.'' #the account is through work so there's like... idk... support #but god #Rachel's life

#re: prev - she couldn't even look at him you're right! but she also stood by him #backed him up #as it ripped her to pieces #again/differently than ~before~ #they both reverted to their... default states #Aeryn locked everything the fuck down #tucked all her feelings away in a box and hid the key 'cause there was work to do #and John reached #reached out and shook the box and threw himself against it - subtly and unsubtly - because he needs people #he needs Aeryn #he smashed himself against the box hard enough to bruise because he knows what's in it #she retreated in and he charged out #her plan to keep from getting hurt again is to not allow anyone in or anything of herself out #and John's plan is to allow everything in and hold it tight #and therein lies the problem #Farscape #so much tense shifting in those tags... #oh well

#hahahaha #tangentially related: my - old enough to collect social security - mom learned about furries the other day #I was not there #just got a text about it #but yeah

When I was younger, I wish someone had told me straight-up that not all adults experience “a calling”. That many of them never find particular purpose in a career. That sometimes, their job is just what pays the bills and they have to seek satisfaction and fulfillment elsewhere. 

Because as an adult, this pervasive notion that there exists a perfect path for everyone, that people should love what they do, and that work is meant to function as a vehicle for fulfilling a person’s grand life destiny is not only inaccurate for many of us, it can be toxic.

The ideal is so ingrained that I have to remind myself constantly I’m not a failure because I don’t adore my job, and because I’m not rocking the world with my work. That is okay. 

Sometimes, work is just work. There isn’t always a perfect career path, magically waiting to be discovered. There might not be this THING you were born to do. Sometimes, you discover that what you really want to be when you grow up is “paid”.

#yep! #I don't love my job! #it's fine! #I like my coworkers and I have a really good boss #I'm not doing harm and I have a regular paycheck and health insurance and PTO! #that's really enough for now #I don't have a dream job anymore #like what would that even look like? idk #and that's okay!

I don’t remember where this story was from but it was about how the writers older brother died when he was young and years later had a son who, had never met the brother had the same mannerisms as him. Ok I think I remember the key words were “my son drinks from the water fountain like my brother” or something
