I know some of you had today off but for me it was the Monday to end all Mondays so I’m suspending my “don’t drink on weekdays” policy until further notice
I don’t know who needs to hear this, but I worked 35 HOURS A WEEK during college (making slightly above minimum wage), plus a paid internship & getting as many scholarships as I could thanks to good grades/doing all the clubs/etc, and I STILL have massive student debt

“Oh you know, hanging in there” - Not doing great
“It’s been a week…” - Bad
“I’m….ok” - Very bad
“Fine *fake smile*” - Cancel this meeting and tell everyone go home immediately and I’ll give you all the money in my bank account.

A guide to responses to being asked “How are you?” in a work setting:
“Can’t complain!” - It’s Friday and I’m excited to sleep soon
“Oh you know, it’s Friday!” - I have wine chilling in the fridge and am counting the minutes
“I’m doing pretty well.” - Hanging on by a thread

I thought I was doing OK until I discovered I’m the only one on my work team who has been trapped on berries and cream TikTok and I’ve never felt more alone
I love my partner but the first time I’m out of town post-marriage one of our fish just *disappears* and honestly I’m just trying not to go full Gone Girl
