having a threesome is NOT about sexual attraction. it's about recreating and critiquing the nuclear family unit through a post structuralist lens

Step 1: Case opened with HR.

Talking points:

My leads are not fulfilling their job descriptions. They are not adequately trained to be taking charge or making informed decisions.

Their deprioritization of and neglect for areas where they are not competent has led to all kinds of tangible results: operational disruptions, workplace inequality, an overall unbalance between the workloads of different areas.

The behaviors of our leads goes against the organization's stated principles.

Moreover, in order to justify these behaviors, the leads resort to unprofessional tactics such as dishonesty and outright lying. This has led to drastic relational issues within the department.

Management is not effectively addressing any of these issues, despite occasional recognition of them.

Aw yisss finally got my OSHA-mandated training that I've been insisting on for months now. Sweet, sweet vindication, especially since everyone else has to get the training now too (and every 3 years, no less!). And I got to ask a bunch of questions and also suggest additional things for the training/safety people to bring to my manager's attention.

Sometimes people tell me I'm a good person. I'm not a good person by nature, or by default. I'm a good person because I've decided that it's important to me to act like one, on a daily basis, forever.

My actual nature is that I want power. I want power and I want my life to be easy and I want other people to be forced to be nice to me even if they hate me. I want other people to have to suck up to me, I want to watch people who I know hate me suffer through the indignity of having to suck up to me. I want to hurt people who hurt me. I want all of these things in the same exact deeply recognizable way that a gorilla or a chimpanzee does. I watch those documentaries and I recognize myself, intimately. The fact that I can behave like a good person in spite of that has taken me a long time and a lot of effort to achieve.

What you feel isn't as important for your "goodness" as what you do. And you get good at what you practice. So practice your skills at being polite, pleasant, kind. Practice gently interrupting negative behaviors--whether that's someone's negative behaviors directed towards themselves, or directed towards someone else. The idea that we have to be inherently without sin is such Christian garbage. It's psychological gibberish. We want things! We want everything! That is normal and human and the key is not acting on every bad feeling you have.

I have taken my insatiable desire for power and to manipulate people and I have used it for good. I have learned how to manipulate people into coming to the doctor and taking their blood pressure medication and being honest about their recreational substance use. I have taken my psychology education and I have used it to craft a persona that makes people feel at ease. I go home at the end of the day exhausted, because maintaining a persona for ten hours straight is exhausting, but I do it happy, because I manipulated the people I work with into feeling better and having brighter days. I manipulated my patients into feeling good about their achievements and recognizing where we need to do things differently.

The hard part is that when the mask slips, people find it not just off-putting but deeply upsetting. When I explain things like "I have thought very carefully about how I would conduct a career in domestic terrorism because I would genuinely like to bomb the headquarters of most American insurance companies, but I don't see a way to do it without getting caught and either killed or spending the rest of my life in prison, and at the moment I consider that an unacceptable outcome," people go from "ha ha! my wacky colleague" to "Jesus Christ, I didn't realize there was something actually wrong with you."

Anyway, don't make your kids read the extended works on Machiavelli at twelve, my dad thought he was helping me but all he accomplished was making me sad I'll never be a king.

smh fucking sick of doctors

So the first time I caught covid, I was listing off my meds to the doctor and she was immediately like "ah, so you're immunosuppressed and you have asthma" (which I qualified by saying "it's a mild immunosuppressant"). She also gave me detailed info on interactions between my meds and paxlovid, including calling a pharmacist during my telehealth call for an extra consult.

This time, the doctor was trying his absolute hardest not to prescribe me paxlovid. Right off the bat, he looked at my med list and said "this is not actually an immunosuppressant" (I hadn't said it was, but it is in fact a mild immunosuppressant). He grilled me about my blood labs (autoantibody labs, not the liver/kidney ones that are relevant to paxlovid) and was trying to explain to me that if I really had my autoimmune disease, my labs would be more abnormal... and I had to explain to him that my labs were abnormal, until I started being treated by the immunomodulatory therapy that I'm on, which has resulted in now-normal-range labs. Then he asked about my inhaler usage and when I said my asthma was well-controlled, he decided I was not in fact at risk of severe covid (even though the CDC does not distinguish between controlled vs non-controlled asthma in its risk factors). I said I was experiencing shortness of breath and he documented it as "mild shortness of breath." My temperature was 99.4ºF and he documented that as "no fever," because he doesn't understand that I am immunosuppressed (my first case of covid was very severe, but even then I only got to 101.3ºF). He didn't even bother to touch mental illness, which is yet another CDC-identified risk factor for severe covid. My visit notes say "patient insists on paxlovid" like no fucking shit yeah?? He also prescribed me a decongestant which has a major interaction with one of my listed meds and didn't bother doing any kind of med rec like the first doctor did.

As a PSA, you can now get paxlovid prescribed by a pharmacist as long as you have kidney and liver bloodwork from the past year. I, having routine kidney and bloodwork on file for my autoimmune disorder, wanted to go this route, but my insurance doesn't cover the pharmacist consult.
