You know, this last week has been liberating. Knowing tomorrow is my last day here, I can just look at things and say 'not my problem.'
I really wish we could have made it work here. But, at this point, the differences in how… https://t.co/5VPgoZ6XUm
Today I put my notice in.
Today I put opportunity ahead of money.
Today I bet on myself.
Today I ended dead ends.
Today I quit, and in quitting I will start anew.
Today I stopped being led on by empty promises.
If anyone ever wonders why I don't ever celebrate birthdays, it's because every single birthday in my family is fucking drama. Every goddamned one. I just can't anymore. I am so over it.
Being in WDW Facebook groups is so damn hilarious. The amount of people who have to ask daily if the dining plan is back, or about reservations, or have to ask if Guardians of the Galaxy has a stand by line is quite amazing. Fucking read, people.
Seeing Tesla's stock crash reminds me of Preston Tucker. That dude in the 40's had great ideas for cars (like seatbelts, those would never catch on), but failed due somewhat due to the auto manufacturers. Tesla seems destined to go down that path too. Poor Musky.
I think the one side effect of me leaving Elon's Shitsite is that I spend more time on Reddit, reading BS and interacting with others. Twitter was just too awful for any meaningful conversation.
I don't know what's worse: Getting sick with a little cold OR being quarantined in my bedroom, feeling all sorts of guilty that I caught a cold someone brought home.

So yeah, the tale of this job is not yet done. I emailed them saying I had to say no due to childcare concerns, and they called back offering up to 3 days WFH. 1 is good, 2 is great, 3 is perfect. Now I have to decide again, but now on money vs opportunity.
I love that I can never be down about anything, and I can never talk about anything. In the past few hours, I have been scolded on posting about that job opportunity AND being down about not being able to take it (as it would be a major… https://t.co/suG7ufsrk5
I just don't want to anymore. I loathe my job, and I finally have a path out. Best I can get are half measures to help make it work, where any personal life would be completely sacrificed. I feel like I don't matter to anyone.
So, end of the day, here's what I got:
Job A: About a 10k raise, REALLY good benefits, opportunities to advance, no remote work
Job B: About a 12k raise, mediocre benefits, unspecified advancement opportunities,… https://t.co/ITrrjJEiIn
