Month: July 2023

I’m sick of big companies trying to spy on employees. Some of the questions are just to find out who is slacking off. They want exact times and such. Even if I see someone not “extremely excited to be at work” ( yes, that’s a question) I say there are. Fuck then and thanks for the money and free food!

I sometimes pick my nose or burp/sing/talk to myself when no one is around on night shift. I will need to go to the bathroom for that from now on.
