Also maybe that means that I'm not *that* crap at my job.

I got a promotion that brings me up in grade today.

IRL level up.

My company has actual pay grades so some things are literally "above my pay grade".

How am I supposed to even answer to that?

"I was really impressed by your experience." So here's an offer for a job that does not match your profile at all.

So I'm half-fainting when I look to my left unless I put pressure on the right side of my neck at the same time.

How's your day going?

Here's some duck content you might enjoy!

Is there any media that talk about Canada / Quebec that is not *bad*?

I'm trying to be more knowledgeable about Canadian politics and damn is the quality of reporting low...

I miss Le Monde.

There's a 50-something looking man in the subway next to me.
They are currently looking at classifieds for boats.

This person is literally a meme.

I kinda wish Medieval Woolen Cloak was an acceptable business coat.

It would be super comfy on the way to work when it's 10C but easy to remove when you get inside and the heating is at 22C.

It would also look super cool in the subway wind.

Also as you can see my work laptop's screen is dirty

I wish updaters would tell me how long the update will take before I start it.
I would help not have to sit in front of this screen when the updater said at the start that it will only take a couple of minutes.

Today is one of these "fuck everything, fuck the world" kinda day.

It's also a day I'm gonna spend in meetings.

Can't wait to go back to bed.

For most of my life my dream job was to be an astronomer.
But then I realized it was a desk job with far less travelling than I though so I went to study computer game things so that I could have a... desk job, I guess... 😕

Now my dream job is more not having a job and having just enough to have a house with some land in the middle of nowhere, a vegetable garden and a few pets.
Things like lighthouse guardian or fishing ground tender sounds nice.

I really wish UBI was a thing so that I could take a few month off without being worried about rent/food/charges while I figure out what to do with myself that is not being exploited into making systems that exploit workers.

If even NGOs who are supposed to care for people are toxic work environment why are we even trying?

Yesterday Iearned that the abusive asshole consultant that was on my project got kicked out.
Today I also learned that he was kicked out of the consulting company.
I also learned that he sent a goodbye email to the whole team except me.

If any of y'all want to run with this idea please go ahead.
I just request that you let me know how it goes!

Every other stupid idea is getting multi-millions in funding. Maybe there is way to flip the system on its head.

I more and more think about how one could structure a tech company to extract as much VC money as possible while redistributing it to the workers and having everyone not working too much.
