    It's my girlfriend's last day at work as a temp for the company she would have loved to spend the rest of her life working for. She applied to any job within the organisation trying to stay with them, but got rejected for vague reasons every time. Yesterday she found out that everyone wanted to hire her, but she was blacklisted by HR for "being flaky", because she applied to too many jobs. She was not informed of this, she explained to her interviewers before that it was her dream to work for this organisation and did not care in what position.

    We can't win. We will spend the rest of our lives as mercenaries working for one terrible company after the other.

    Eat the HR department.

    She's having a talk with them today to explain to them again that she is anything but flaky.

    I'm getting my Kirby costume ready in the interim.

    Best of luck to her.

    There are three people in my office who use the coffee pot.

    One of them has been out for the last few weeks.

    The other is an introvert who told me he doesn't like any kind of flavored coffee.

    Needless to say the coffee pot is mine and mine alone until the other person comes back.

    Fuck job culture.

    It is a batty, irrational, gossipy shitstorm.

    I'm just glad it's not just my job that has this crap.

    This, but without anyone ever telling anything to my girlfriend. It's an extra layer of pure evil.

    Yes it does. If there's an office there is a water cooler and if there's a water cooler there is gossip and if there is gossip there is backstabbing bullshit going on.

    Discovered I was out of deodorant yesterday, after getting out of the shower.

    Feeling mildly stanky today.

    Man, I'm an introvert and I have no problems saying hello in the morning.

    Basically, anyone more introverted than me is a weirdo and anyone more extroverted than me is a psycho.

    I am in a unique workplace. It is literally considered the prototypical office environment. When I told a coworker about the coffee she stared at me like I was some sort of sociopath.

    It's a really nice place.

    Oh, also, we don't have water coolers. Instead the water fountains were replaced with new ones that have motion sensing bottle fillers.

    Our maintenance is mainly handled by the office workers.

    Does good to take care of your own space.

    Gonna start sending out job applications. Feels weird, knowing I gotta do an essay and an exam again before I finish.

    ...also that presentation.

    And slide my horrifically mismanaged portfolio past my tutor at Uni.

    But hey this HR lady at a hospital I wanna work out would like applications from soon-to-be-nurses so

    I work at companies by basically being a ghost.

    Talk to no-one, get to know no-one. No drama, no bullshit, I've got friends outside of work. People can't even target me because they don't know my name.
    In this moment, I am euphoric. Not because of any phoney God's blessing. But because, I am enlightened by my intelligence.

    I dislike the work at my job, and the senior management is maybe kind of eh

    But my office is young 20 somethings like me and I'm friends with many of them and that makes work tolerable

    Tonight we're having margaritas and game night!
