having good enough self awareness to keep self persevere
I wish my friends would tell me about the little things. It actually helps me deal with things as well, since odds are its something we all struggle with one way or another and talking through it with them helps me sort it out too.
Too bad we are all so worried about making things other people’s problems when we could tackle this stuff together
My go-to lately has been “I’m living the dream, one nightmare at a time.”
My answer is usually “I could complain, but nobody likes a whiner”.
Haha. This hits home. I just got an urgent issue for a customer I can’t solve and the only people who can are on holiday, so I’ll be looking for the answer from now (afternoon) till long after 2am this night, and I won’t be paid for that time either.
But “making it someone else’s problem” is… heavily discouraged, shall we say, and since I don’t immediately fancy homelessness…
I don’t know your situation, but my rule of thumb after having burned myself out is that if I’m not being paid for the time I’m not taking that time.
I wholeheartedly agree but I can’t dodge this since I’m literally the only person available for the rest of this week…
Then tell whoever pays you to do so or figure it out themselves. That’s kind of the whole deal with hiring people to do work for you. Unless you’re salaried.
You’re enabling your boss’ bad behavior. At some point it stops being their fault.
The secret to having a great friendship, is to not make your problems, theirs.
Instructions unclear, I now have a crippling fear of opening up to everyone about anything
Haha me too thanks
