Antiwork

So if I live until I’m 76 (average life expectancy), I’ll have 665,760 hours of life. I sleep 219,700 of those. I spend 15,120 of those in school k-12. If I work a 45 hour week and retire at 65, I’ll have worked 105,750 hours in my lifetime. From birth to death, I get 325,000 hours of my life to myself, and a bunch of that time is as an infant and toddler. My commute, grocery shopping, cleaning, etc comes out of this time. That works out to 48.8% of my life is leisure time. Less than half of our lives are spent in leisure. LESS THAN HALF… Who the fuck told us that we should spend over half of our lives doing something we don’t want to do, otherwise we’re homeless. This is bullshit.

if nobody work then who will money? 🙁

I handed my work laptop in before vacation because it was due for an upgrade. Someone somewhere forgot something so now I won't have access to anything until next week. What's a professional way to say, your lack of planning is not my problem, no I'm not using my personal devices for work, no I won't be taking unpaid time off because I can't work without the laptop you were supposed to fix, and no I won't be reading “offline documents” on a (my) cellphone for 6 days.

Story time. I had an interview scheduled (last week) for next Monday in Los Angeles. I live in Northern California so I booked a flight. I got a call today from the organization (UC Irvine Public Health) telling me that they need to re-schedule the interview for a later date. I told them that I already booked my flight ( of which I cannot change), so they cancelled the interview. Foolish of me to think that an organization could keep their word. PS. when I got the first call for the interview, I asked for a Zoom interview- they insisted on the interview being in-person. Learn from my mistakes folks.
