Hey Chalice_Of_Evil have you had some random warm days in Qld too, considering it's winter lol? 20/68 degrees folk Yeah, it's been weird here the last couple of days. It got really cold last night, but has been sorta warm-ish today. I remember earlier in the week when taking the dog for a walk, I thought it was quite pleasant (there was some breeze, but not a cold breeze). Stupid weather can't make up its mind! EDIT: I'm sorry, that^ was insensitive. I'm not 'anti-climatic' (ie. against the weather), I swear.

The followin’ is Sklazmark bitchin’ and moanin’. So you’re more than welcome to pass this post by if you’re not in the mood for that.
To make a long story short, my job has been giving me more and more extra duties, I’m now working weekends, way past my hours, etc. But I’m an “exempt” employee, so they don’t have to pay me a nickel more. And, in fact, they didn’t give me a raise despite my receiving a great review in December. To be fair, this is journalism. But the workload is driving me crazy because it’s so much extra time for no extra money.
One of those extra tasks is social media duty. I hate social media duty. I can’t Tweet for my life. And I have to do that in addition to everything else I’m already doing (writing, editing, factchecking, sending pointless lists on Sunday evenings of our Monday headlines, which everyone already knows).
The social media thing then forces me to spend time patrolling Twitter, which I despise, because I have to retweet stuff for the company. Which raises my anxiety through the roof when something like this Ukraine horror is happening.
And I feel like I’m unable to get my mind off this Ukraine thing. I saw the new Batman the other day and, I kid you not, was thinking the whole time, What if Putin decides to launch nukes and then I die in this theater right now? Which sounds stupid, I know, and obsessive. I hate that I do this, but I can’t get away from it. (I did this with COVID, too: What if we never go back to normal? What if we have to wear masks forever? What if I can’t see relatives in-person ever again? Yada yada yada.)
So that’s where I am right now. I felt a little better yesterday, not sure why. But now I’m right back to the dreaded what-ifs. Thank you for listening.

Make sure you take some time for yourself, away from work and away from this crazy world we live in nowadays. I gotta add though: getting nuked while watching a new Batman movie would be a pretty cool way to go out!

Thank you, guys. I know we’re all dealing with the world situation, so I hate to come here to complain, but yesterday just drove me crazy.
@ghostyghostington, I am trying to figure out a good time to get away for a weekend—though that probably won’t be until warmer weather comes. The good news is that more has opened up (*knock on wood*), so I do have more places to go, skyrocketing gas prices notwithstanding. I’ve recently taken day trips with friends, but I think actually going somewhere and staying for a weekend would be a good distraction.
I try never to talk politics here or on the other boards, but my job is politics all day long, almost every day, and I’m hearing people, including coworkers, say they want a U.S.-Russia war. Which is one reason I’m so on-edge about this situation, I think; I don’t get that position at all. I want Ukraine to win, of course; what Putin is doing is genuine evil. But a literal World War III is no solution. It just means doomsday for all of us.
Dr. @phistosgauntlet, that is fine, fine medical advice. My cousin similarly recommends batting at rotten fruit!
