#Work/life balance

[purple-goo-writes]

I'm trying to sleep and then my brain gives me this golden gem of an idea-

Kyle Rayner is a Green Lantern, would be closest to Danny's age timeline wise without needing to age him up too much and basically a starving artist. He is literally a struggling but gifted graphic artist.

Danny is many things- hero, engineering genius, sassy himbo with a heart of gold. But he is very much Not An Artist.

So what if Danny hires Kyle to help him with designs? Like Danny is great at rhe building aspect but he isn't good at making it Look Good When Finished. So a budding engineering company's head tech (owner and operator) would need someone to help make his designs sleek, better appealing to the masses and sellable.

What Kyle wasn't expecting was his new boss and co-worker he would be working closely with to be a clumsy himbo of a tank who moonlights as a ghost. And Danny wasn't expecting his rather cute artist sometimes lab assistant to be a the kick ass green lantern he occasionally teams up with.

Sam and Tucker have bets on when these two finally get together.

Saw this on FB months ago and then *my own company* made a post about quiet quitting…and our clients are chewing them out in the comments. It’s glorious.

So here is your reminder that “quiet quitting” is just capitalism’s new way of demonizing employees for wanting a healthy work/life balance.

[Image description: Black text on white background that reads: “The fact that a new term has been made up: Quiet Quitting is really quite funny. This neologism is a term for workers doing precisely what their contract says and no more. This is working exactly your hours, taking exactly your breaks and turning your phone off/refusing to answer calls/texts/emails when not on the clock.

“It’s called Quiet Quitting because apparently doing exactly your job is considered to be a form of leaving your job without actually quitting.

“The actual name for this practice is Working to Rule, and it is an ancient form of direct action from our unionised ancestors. They have coined a new phrase for it because the old one is so hard to criticise; you’re doing what you’re paid to do? Isn’t that what you promised you would do?

“Calling it Quiet Quitting is victim blaming. It paints workers exercising their rights as lazy shirkers trying to bilk money from the kind hearted bosses, who after all have given the workers a job. They’re doing you a favour, and you repay that by doing precisely what you signed an agreement to do? How very dare you!?

“It’s Working to Rule and it’s part of your right ti protest. A right that the monied elite want to take away. Don’t let them.”]

I know! Wasn't that fanart just adorable! (for those who didn't see it here and here)

Work/Life balance does continue to live rent-free in my head so it's definitively something I would happily go back to.

I will just quickly say though that I do feel like in at least one way Viktor and Jayce would handle a newborn really well. Their sleep schedules are already all kinds of fucked and they're used to operating on very few hours of it (and surviving on power naps). The fact that it's their child causing them to be loosing out on sleep and not a tight deadline/major milestone of their project can't be that different.

The work side of it is going to be a bit harder for them. But I can also see them being the kind of people who just strap the baby to their chest and keep on doing what they were planning on doing.

And, of course, I do so love doting dad Jayce.

Wow, just saw an ad advertising a better work/life balance for a job I used to work at.

Fun fact! Bullshit! Bullshit bullshit bullshit.

Forced overtime and back breaking work with idiots running the show poorly until one shift where everything is magically better, having a better team than the fucking diversity hire who knows it and abuses it to bully people with his pathetic ass out of the job.

No. Fuck you. No job has good work/life balance and the fucking CAUSUALNESS to lie from a company is why you should literally never ever take time to defend a company.

Work/Life Balance

I recently had an interesting conversation with one of my students. She said “We are not putting up with being worked to death” in response to what she said were unreasonable requests from her employer. She also went on to say “They have to realize that we have a life outside of our job”. She’s 100% right. I grew up thinking that in order to have a good life, I had to work hard, make painful…

I am trying very hard to do a thing this school year where I do no work on the weekends because I have a horrible work/life balance which has only been made worse by job applications, dissertation work, and teaching.

Unfortunately, this means I now spend my weekends staring at my walls and mentally screaming because I'm not being productive enough.

#I know this will pay off in the long run but #I am slowly losing my mind because idk how to just sit and not be productive #especially after a week where I didn't get anything done that I wanted/needed to #so this is fine #grad school #academia #work/life balance

So in case y’all are wondering where I’ve been and don’t have Discord, I am still alive!

I’m just very tired and my summer service job (and the commute to and from it) is taking up more of my time and energy than I thought it would.

The non stop heat wave in my state hasn’t helped matters at all either.

My days off and evenings give me just enough time to rest and do it all over again.

This is basically my way of telling you guys I haven’t dropped off the face of the earth and I haven’t lost any of my interests. I just don’t have the energy to post about them or create fics and mood boards. (Even reading is difficult nowadays.)

I’m more or less on hiatus at least until September because I don’t have much work/life balance at the moment. If I somehow manage to make something despite my circumstances I’ll definitely surprise myself!

Until then, I’ll just have you all know I’m still thinking of you all, and the interests we share.

For all our sake I hope summer passes by quick and easy.

I feel like Taylor rarely gets time off and even if she gets time off work she's constantly thinking about work because she hates have more than 5 days off work.

I think she's got better at taking time off in the last few years, but that doesn't mean that inspiration doesn't still strike at any and all hours. I think it's also important to think about the fact that she really loves creating music so the line between work and her hobbies is blurred more than it is for most of us. Maybe writing songs doesn't feel like work, but doing interviews or going to an awards show does.

I was reading this article from Blender yesterday where she talked about how things don't feel like work when she gets to sleep in her own bed. I don't think she'd necessarily do as much work these days in an "off week", but she still loves to go home to her own bed when she's on tour - and she's so right for it! I love coming home to my own bed too!

I now have a job within the Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice system. I have decided a couple months back, that I would take a break from school for the next 6 months before going back and restarting. When I do go back, I will be going in as a Criminal Justice major. After completing that degree, I attend again for the actual degree program I initially wanted. It is more affordable and a lot easier for me to continue working within the Criminal Justice system and continue building myself and protecting within my community. By getting a Criminal Justice degree, I add more value to my time with the Agency. Which is a big plus for me, since the local community college has several locations. One being a 10 minute walk from my agency’s office I will be working at.

There’s no such thing as work-life balance for neurodivergent & chronically ill people.

This is because everything in my life requires work:

maintaining friendships

keeping up with my hygiene

managing bills

making money

remembering my basic needs

sleeping regularly

outputting creatively

All requires some aspect of work for me.

And when everything in your life requires work, your balance goes out the window.

If you're neurodivergent and overwhelmed — I see you.

If you're chronically ill and overwhelmed — I see you.

You're not dysfunctional.

You're not incapable.

You're doing your best.

Happily Ever After

Life isn’t a love-in – it’s the dishes, and the orthodontist, and the shoe repairman, and… ground round instead of roast beef. And I’ll tell you something else: It isn’t going to bed with a man that proves you’re in love with him; it’s getting up in the morning and facing the drab, miserable, wonderful everyday world with him that counts!

#it&039;s all okay in the end #that man #work/life balance

[goddessofroyalty]

Prompt (from AO3): Jayce comes back home and thinks it's the same routine of keeping quiet and watching Viktor be with their son, but Viktor speaks suddenly to come inside and he sees Viktor holding his son (maybe breast feeding or just hugging him) and looking downright furious in full Machine Herald attire. Viktor explains how their son was almost kidnapped or used by either his or Jayce's enemies, with Jayce rushing in to check if they're both okay. Jayce and Viktor reconcile in realizing they still love each other and they don't want their son to be torn between them, and that if they are to raise and protect their son from any threats, they'll be together doing it.

 Tags: omegaverse, past-mpreg

I leave it a bit more open than the prompt had but that’s because there’s a lot of stuff they need to work through. This is just the first step.

---------------

“Jayce Talis get in here.”

Jayce freezes at his name and Viktor’s clearly angry tone. He knows he shouldn’t spy on Viktor when he visits their pup. Knows he has no right to after everything, denying Viktor both his work and child. Every time he does he tells himself it will be the last.

But he can’t help himself. Part of it possible self-torture. Forcing himself to acknowledge what he gave up for Piltover. Maybe to prevent himself for ever making a mistake of that scale again.

He ducks his head as he enters the room. Fully ready to apologize and promise to never do it again. Whatever he needs to do to ensure Viktor doesn’t stop. That Jayce isn’t responsible for his pup losing any connection to the omega who carried him.

“I’m sorry,” he says, glancing up at Viktor.

He isn’t surprised by the glare he is met with. However the fact Viktor is fully armed is surprising. Jayce expecting to see Viktor holding their child and not the Machine Herald.

Their son doesn’t seem bothered being held in fully metal arms. Small hands clinging into the gaps of Viktor’s chest-plate and glancing between his two parents as if in disbelief they are both in the room at the same time. Something that hasn’t happened since probably before he could even form memories.

At least Viktor doesn’t have the Herald’s faceplate on. It resting on his head, a dark sticky fluid visible on the skin beneath it. Forcing Jayce to suddenly notice all the other signs of injury on Viktor. The dents in his armor and dark circles under his eyes.

“What happened?”

“What was always bound to happen with the rate you make enemies these days,” Viktor says. “One of them thought to target our son and found your security sorely lacking.”

Jayce had known there were holes in his security. Had left them be so Viktor would be able to easily slip in to see his child. Never once did he think about who else could take advantage of them.

“Or perhaps you had intended for them to take him?” Viktor continues the golden iris in his now black eyes sharp. “Use our son as bait?”

“I would never.” Jayce can’t believe Viktor would even suggest he might be capable of such a thing. Despite everything he had always put their child first.

“I Know,” Viktor says and a little of the tension in his stance fades.

“Where are they?” Jayce will make sure they are never a threat to his or any other child again.

“Dealt with,” Viktor says and his expression tells Jayce he doesn’t want to ask any more.

“Good.” They don’t need to worry about them trying to take their son again then. Even if Jayce acknowledges it means he will have to fill the holes in his security before any other group think to harm his son to get to him.

He will have to find another opportunity to allow Viktor to see their son. Perhaps at Jayce’s home – tell his staff not to raise the alarm if it is his supposed greatest foe breaking in.

Viktor twists his head to consider him and the better lighting it puts him in lets Jayce to better see the dark liquid on his forehead and the cracks in the Machine Herald mask deep enough to cut the skin underneath.

“How badly are your injured?” Jayce asks, finding a clean rag on his work bench.

“Nothing I won’t recover from,” Viktor says, taking a step back when Jayce goes to approach. Holding their son tighter as he eyes the rag off like it may do either of them harm.

“Viktor you’re bleeding.” Maybe he hadn’t noticed from the adrenaline of what happened. But Jayce could not just let him leave with a possibly open head wound. And not just because Viktor had gotten it defending their son.

“How do you even know it is blood?”

“Leaking oil then.” Jayce doesn’t have time for the games where they pretend Viktor isn’t human anymore. Where they pretend he carved out his metaphorical heart as well as his literal one. “Just let me have a look to make sure it isn’t anything serious.”

Viktor’s eyes are doubtful and Jayce wonders if he will have to beg the mother of his child to let him make sure he doesn’t have a concussion.

He realizes he would beg as well if it is what was needed for Viktor to let him care for him this once.

“If you must,” Viktor says.

“I do.” Jayce has to know that Viktor will be okay.

He keeps his hands visible while approaching. Clear that he means no threat despite having never wanted to hurt Viktor.

Jayce has to reach up to gently dab at the fluid sticking to Viktor’s forehead. The Machine Herald armor making his former mate taller than him.

Viktor winces slightly but doesn’t say anything. Doesn’t even meet Jayce’s eyes, just watches their son in his arms.

“I need to get some water,” Jayce says because the fluid, that he is fairly sure is blood, is somewhat dried. “Wait here.”

He keeps an ear out as he goes to the small bathroom connected to the lab, half expecting to hear Viktor slip out while he is not in the room.

The room seems silent while he wets the rag and he finds Viktor still sitting in the lab-chair when he returns. Their son now sitting in his lap and the Machine Herald mask sitting on the work bench next to Viktor. His former mate and partner’s full face exposed to Jayce for the first time in years.

“You didn’t leave.”

“You would have no doubt hunted me down if I had,” Viktor says, his gaze still not leaving his son.

“I never forced you to stay when you didn’t want to,” Jayce says, going over to gentle start cleaning Viktor’s forehead again, examining the damage as he does.

The source of the blood appears to be a cut just above Viktor’s hairline. But the blood all appears dry so hopefully it should be fine with just time to heal.

Jayce would feel more comfortable with that assessment if Viktor would stay the night just in case.

He knows he has little hope of talking Viktor around to that. He has already pushed his luck to have Viktor stay as long as he has.

“No. You just sent me away when you no longer had use of me,” Viktor says and as unfair of an assessment of the events that left them separated that it is it still hurts worse than any physical blow Jayce has been dealt in his life.

“I didn’t want to. My hand was forced.” By the Council. By Viktor. By Zaun rapidly descending into a violent chaos that felt like it would spill over the river at any moment.

But it was Jayce who made the final call.

“If I could go back and change it I would.” Jayce would have never taken Viktor’s work or allowed him to go into exile. Would never have forced him to give up their child.

“We cannot go back,” Viktor says, finally looking at Jayce. Not that Jayce can read the new black and gold eyes like he could Viktor’s old honey ones.  

“But maybe we can do better going forward?” Maybe Viktor won’t have to sneak in to see his pup. And maybe they can work together to ensure nobody threatens their pup again.

“Don’t give me false promises you have no intention to keep,” Viktor says, looking suddenly as tired as he had been those weeks leading up to the end.

“It’s not false. I want to be by your side again.” However Viktor would have him.

“And what about the others? I doubt Piltover will have me back with open arms.”

“We can work it out,” Jayce says, reaching down to run a hand down their son’s cheek when the boy reaches up to them both. The first time he’s been able to have them both with him at the same time in too long. “He misses you when you’re not around. We both do.”

“We will never be able to go back to how we were.”

“I know.” Jayce will never be able to undo his betrayal.

“We both have hurt each other too much. And have responsibilities to our people that we cannot turn back on.”

“Right.” As much as Jayce hates it the people of Piltover look to him for protection. And while the Machine Herald is not the protector of Zaun he is turned to by those with no other options.

“But I am tired of sneaking around to see my pup Jayce. And he is safer if we work together and not separately.”

“Where does that leave us?” Jayce asks, watching Viktor’s expression for any sign of hope for them.

“I don’t know,” Viktor says, looking down to their son. “We will have to find out.”
