There's nothing quick about the anxiety this caused.

THE OFFICE THERMOSTAT WAR

Temperature at 72: "It's freezing in here!"
Temperature at 68: "I'm literally sweating!"
Temperature at 70: "Who touched the thermostat?!"

The office thermostat is just a placebo at this point

WFH BACKGROUND FAILURES

Boss on Zoom: "Nice bookshelf!"

Me, knowing those books have been in the same position since the pandemic started: "Thanks, I love to read"

The books: literally decorations at this point

Stage 2: "I'll ask for 20% more"
Stage 3: "Maybe 15% is reasonable"

FRIDAY BRAIN vs MONDAY BRAIN

Friday 5pm: "I'll remember exactly where I left off"

Monday 9am: *stares at screen* "Who wrote this code? Oh wait, it was me"

The weekend factory reset hits different.

WORK LIFE BALANCE

What they promised: "Flexible hours!"
Reality: You're flexible about WHICH 12 hours you work

The only thing balanced is my coffee in one hand and anxiety in the other.

LINKEDIN vs REALITY

LinkedIn: "Thrilled to announce my new role!"
Reality: Got laid off 3 months ago, finally found something

LinkedIn: "Grateful for this opportunity"
Reality: Please don't fire me

The professional filter we all need.

THE 5 STAGES OF A PROJECT

1. Enthusiasm: "This will be easy!"
2. Disillusionment: "This is harder than expected"
3. Panic: "We're never going to finish"
4. Search for the guilty: "Whose idea was this?"
5. Punishment of the innocent: "Great job, team!"

Rinse and repeat.

@ChampRDS The weight cutting process can take such a huge toll on you. Having done it a few times myself it can be killer.
