Work vent: I fought for years for a project to come in and correct all these models that are based on incorrect boundary conditions and we finally got it, right before I went on leave. I found out today that they didn't use any of the info I compiled for them, including stuff I put together while I was on medical leave because I really, really wanted to see this done right.

Why do I do anything?

The really annoying part is that none of this is my responsibility, but the infrastructure planning done based on these models directly impacts my ability to do my job so I have an interest in it.

Return to work isn't going great for other reasons also but I'm expecting to get written off again tomorrow

Good luck, assholes.

I did some pro bono volunteering tonight, and literally all it took was one instance of someone looking at me like I'm mildly strange to set off my rejection sensitivity. I was upset the rest of the night and cried on the walk home. ugh.

Aaaaaaaaa my brain feels like it's trying to eat itself

Hate it hate it

I've taken a weed to help

We went to local store that has chest freezers on the floor. We bought one. It will be delivered. I'm excited.

So I just got out of the shower and I had to try a new shampoo because my old shampoo was discontinued. I do not like this smell. It is going to smell like there is another man standing next to me all day. I hate this.
