    “Like a normal person” honestly go fuck yourself, it’s not that easy for a lot of people. And a bunch of “normal” people are burnt the hell from their job and aren’t super eager to be exhausted going to a job that pays them functionally less than it did the year before because inflation hits everything but salaries.

    I found getting up on the first alarm and moving to the couch to be a good trick for me. It’s forward momentum even if I don’t go from my bed to being fully ready to go to work with my fake smile hiding my exhaustion. And yet people still complain about how I do things in my own fucking home.

      Yeah I was being a bit sarcastic I know most people don’t like waking up early, fortunately my job doesn’t have a set schedule so I like to be in the office around 6 since most people show up between 8-10 which means I get a few good hours of quietness and can poop in peace before the toilets are ruined. Then I get to leave around 2:30 which is usually before the engineers start showing up in our lab with their last minute requests but if I do end up stuck there with them I feel better knowing I’m on overtime pay. Plus the traffic is terrible if I leave after 3pm so I try to get on the road home before then
