Office Problems, pt. II
Every office building should have a cozy, dimly-lit room with couches and a couple desks where you (1) aren’t allowed to make noise, and (2) are allowed to take a nap.
You think I’m joking, but no–it would be for accessibility! There are lots of flavors of neurospicy other than mine that need some peace and quiet sometimes, and there are also times when the best thing you can do for your productivity is…take a nap. Rest isn’t a sign of laziness! Also, you don’t keep lazy people from avoiding work just by banning lazy-seeming behavior! Productivity should be measured by (gasp) how much work you actually get done, not how much time you spend looking busy!
Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

*scrolls back, sees the meme I shared 15 seconds ago*
*has to check own status because I can’t remember if I actually shared it or just thought about sharing it*

Underheard
Sometimes I worry that I’m losing my hearing from listening to my music too loud. Then I do something like accidentally mute my headphones trying to turn down the volume when they’re already at the lowest possible setting, and I stop worrying.
(For an hour or two.)

Office Problems
Dear employers: if your workplace has a cafeteria, your employees should be able to eat there for free. Why have them pay for it? They’re literally just handing a chunk of their paycheck directly back to you, except now you’ve both lost money because it’s been taxed twice.
Am I missing something? This seems like a no-brainer to me.

Me: Ooh, I just got an idea for another “Why Am I Like This” post!
Me, after writing said post: *wastes at least 5 minutes making ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN the numbering is correct even though it does not matter and literally no one will ever notice if it’s wrong*

Brains Are Weird
The other day I had to change my password and I mistyped part of it–then kept mistyping it in exactly the same way. I didn’t even notice until the day after, when I had to use a different keyboard.
Although, the mistype arguably makes it harder to guess, so…I guess I’ll keep it?
