Worked sixteen hours Friday. At 4 am, informed them I was going to bed and would be back at 12 pm.
Got an email from the client at 6 am telling me to be back by 9 am, which of course I didn’t see until 12 pm.
Worked four hours yesterday, handed it off to someone else, and went to see John Wick 4.
Got in trouble for going out and was made to promise to be online to work at 8:30 am today (Sunday). Been working ever since.
Work from home, they said. It’ll be so much easier, they said.
@poids Ha! Sometimes it feels that way. I do book layout for reports on international economic development (which means poverty reduction, feeding people, curing malaria, educating girls, building roads, etc.). On a good day it feels like I’m making a small difference to improve the lives of the poorest people in the world. On a bad day it feels like I’m part of an evil globalist collective.
@ahacksaw It takes all day Saturday to de-stress from the week for a lot of people, and then Sunday arrives and it’s “Oh, crap, there’s even more that needs to be done than there was last weekend, and I didn’t get half of that done!”
Trash day is Monday so I either have to scramble around to get all the compost out, or on alternate weeks, the recycling. (Hardly ever any actual trash.)
@kostia We do, and it USED to be amazing. But the private company that’s now making the compost decided that the customers were doing too shoddy a job, so now we can only put yard waste and food scraps in the bin. No more household paper, no compostable takeout containers, none of the biodegradable trash bags, except the smallest size of one particular brand for your food scraps. It’s such a bummer! I use a lot of kleenex (possibly a tiny bit allergic to my cat?) I have a compost pile in my yard so the household paper was the best part of the pick-up for me.
Too much realization that all the things you wanted to do “this weekend” aren’t going to get done because you ran out of weekend.
Too much Monday dread
Sunday means I overslept Saturday.
Day of the Sun.
@yakkoTDI Which follows the Day of Saturn, the Roman deity best known and revered for eating his children.
@macromeh And that is why I hired him. The neighborhood has been so much quieter the last 20 years.
Too much realizing the next day is Monday.

@kostia I’ve always said you get more out of WFH at least from me because I never shut down my system so you get rapid response to any system issues
Plus you get to hear me curse at cats. Stress relief never hurts
@kostia That’s awful!
They (clients) might consider that without rest, the quality of your work is probably going to decline.
@Kyeh Hundred percent. This particular client just happens to be One Of Those.
@unksol Absolutely. I never got so much done at the office, but somehow I come across as lazy anyway!
@kostia What do you do? WFH salt mining?

@kostia @poids
It sounds interesting, at least!
… the last chance to do something to make a memory that I actually did something with my free time.
Grocery shopping, chores, cooking.
Ugh… Am I going to do those chores or not
Too much trying to do all the chores and errands that I was too lazy to do yesterday.

@werehatrack This is my life.
@ahacksaw @werehatrack some time is as simple as it was raining yesterday and I had other plans today. Now mowing/etc has to be shifted

@Kyeh Do you have curbside composting? I think that would be amazing. It would reduce my trash so much.
