I’m wearing a cat on my face. Guess it’s cold this morning.

Was running a bit late this morning. Missed the train by 45 seconds. And had to wait 25 min for the next one. wtf. It’s not the weekend

Shout out to anyone having a shitty day today due to the “family” issues or loss. It’s been hard to avoid.

NDIS application is starting. My doc says it’s really difficult to get approved but we will try anyway. I’m still working full time so dsp isn’t a thing and I want to keep working and feel like a normal person. Just need some help and ideally work to stop forcing mandatory office days and actually be inclusive instead of just pretending to. Sucks being bedridden so much.

This week’s shit weather is brought to you by my annual leave. Not. Happy. Jan.

Looked at ndis as I need help with disability. The sheer amount of doctors letters, assessments etc required is going to be insane, stressful and probably costly into the thousands. Then there’s the long wait times (over 6 months to get a response) Hardly accessible. Im struggling so hard to stay employed - wfh was so great for disabled people and now the return to office mandates has my job being threatened. It has no actual physical requirement (tech) but they insist that going into the office for “connection” with the internal team (who is across multiple states anyway ) is a “mandatory business requirement”.

Fucking joke at the expense of my health declining even further.

Another day another data compromise. This time it’s the Shebah ride share. At this point any business using name address and dob to verify a person is not good enough security.

I use random passwords for everything so I’m not worried about the password getting out.

Why is it that there’s always something out of balance. If it’s not work life then it’s health or money. When they are all broken then it feels hopeless

Work all week. Spend weekend recovering from exhaustion. Repeat. Life not very satisfying ☹️. At least my cat naps on the bed with me.

Second weekend in a row of being stuck in bed due to health condition being flared up due to working in the office the day before.

Not happy. The employer changed their wfh arrangements after I’d started work with them ☹️

Train - coughing ppl

Work - person sits at the desk next to me coughing and snotting.

Dentist - kid with chesty cough in waiting room

Ffs. I’m masked up because I have health issues.

Had a manager go on about all the collab and help he got when starting out at the company and how important the connections are etc.

Someone else pointed out that if you can’t get help using MS teams then you have a problem. Plus it’s 2023 - no need to stuck to old ways of work.

When I’m in the office, I’m wearing headphones to try and block the noise from the random hot desking people from random parts of the business all talking loudly on teams calls. The business has multiple physical locations in various states hence the teams calls. There’s no chatting or “water cooler” talk.

I cannot work in these conditions nor do I want to spend 2 hours each way commuting to waste my day like this. It’s my personal hell.
