@bnickeson It’s been a solemn state at our house too. Last night I mentioned to the fam, Dave drumming as a cathartic option, sigh. What a sad place for the band to be. Heartsick.

When your boss asks out of obligation if you’re feeling burnout and you remind them that you quit your job last week.

[Sarah @applepeppersoup]

Great resignation? Ok, I’m down. ✌️

@NukedLettuce Screens are not advised, which exemplifies how much I suck at this while sharing woes via screen. Thinking audiobooks are my next try.

First full day of brain rest and I’m already bored out of my gourd. How does an anxious, type A, twitchy person actually rest their brain? Enquiring concussed minds want to know.

[Sarah @applepeppersoup]

Welp, ran to the corner grocery with my driver for something to do. That is decisively not brain rest. How do we usually function with that kind of lighting?! 😵‍💫

Recently saw the new Spider-Man and now I’m sitting at my wfh desk wondering if all the other versions of me are dealing with the same shit.

Apparently 11 years late to Game of Thrones but 2 years deep in a global pandemic. 🤷🏻‍♀️ #Friday

There is so much we are still learning about this virus. This needs to be part of the discussion about hybrid learning options.

[CDC @CDCgov]

New @CDCMMWR finds children and teens 18 years & younger who have had #COVID19 are up to 2.5 times more likely to have a #diabetes diagnosis after infection. Prevent COVID-19 by using tools like masks and #vaccines for those eligible. Learn more: https://t.co/8tYS9UwYt4.

@iamjkeating Accurate to 13 at least.

Had a small gift exchange with a few work friends and in contrast to the booze traded in years past, this year four out of five gifts contained socks. I think this is an accurate reflection of where we’re at.

[Sarah @applepeppersoup]

Reached the point in the year where I’m signing off all emails with “cheers” with zero regard for how it will be received.

Tune back in Tuesday to find out if my parking bill is more or less than my Panera sammy.

[Sarah @applepeppersoup]

When the (high pressure voluntary) Employee Appreciation Luncheon includes instructions on how to pay for parking…

It’s Monday. 20-40 mph winds. Power flickers but refuses to fail. Not even for a few minutes of respite. The week is off to a predictable but disappointing start.

[Sarah @applepeppersoup]

For those wondering about context it’s usually 💩🌪or 💩☄️. But that’s healthcare for you.

[Sarah @applepeppersoup]

Had the sudden realization that not everyone texts their boss poop emojis. To those of you who don’t or can’t, I’ll continue to journey this path so that one day poop emojis are the symbol of psychological safety in the workplace.

[Sarah @applepeppersoup]

Took a standardized test at a testing center this morning and I’m still annoyed about the font.

PSA: If you are ever tempted to ask someone if they’ve thought of hiring additional staff to help with their insurmountable workload, stop. Just stop. If needed, bite your damn tongue. There isn’t an overworked person on the planet that hasn’t “thought of having more staff”.
