I go days at work without doing anything. I’ve also been laid off multiple times in my professional life. But, on the other hand, if I keep asking for work that calls attention to the fact that I have nothing to do.
By my estimation, half of white collar jobs are like this and everyone just engages in theater about how busy they are
What has been hard for me today was just seeing the reaction among American peers. I don’t think it fundamentally changes the course of events. But the rhetoric around this is just so blatant and disgusting. People that at this point are skeptical that Israel is using targeting strikes in Gaza yet it would seem they want to believe this attack was sophisticated and brilliant like a movie or something.
We really are going to go out in the worst way imaginable and I learn a little more everyday what that looks like. I don’t really know what I expected it all to look like, but as accurately as I “predict” everything that has transpired this year somehow my body still responds like it’s surprised.
