    Me, looking for technical writing jobs after writing a highly fucking technical dissertation: I have a PhD but I’m pretty burned out on being a try-hard so I’m just looking for a straightforward 9-to-5.

    Them: We’re worried you’ll be bored.

    Me: Anyone would get bored doing this, at least I’ll be good at it.

    Them: No.






  • That would be called vacation time vs sick time in my org, but there are definitely differences in when/how they’re used.

    Sick time is like, “I don’t feel good today, I’m just not working today.”

    Vacation time is like, “I’m feeling pretty good today, I’d like to take a feel-good day. But I better schedule schedule it a couple weeks out, check with my manager, make sure there are no deadlines coming up, make sure someone else can cover for me,” and so on.
