I think a lot these days about how much bigger the U.S. is than Europe. I mean, part of this is just working for a European company---I talk to our legal counsel based in Paris, and they forget that California (about 75% the size of all of France) has a new law we have to care about, because---well, that's just a state! who cares about a state! My colleagues regularly refuse to travel to a country that's essentially 3 hours of train travel away, because that's so far! ignoring the fact that I have traveled 4 hours to our sister company within the U.S. and regularly drive 1+ hours to the office. (While that's annoying and I don't advocate for it, it's not necessarily unthinkable, that's my point.)

On my way home, I was listening to an NPR story about the Portugal model of drug diversion. It was a great story, thoughtfully reported and contextualized in the recent backlash against decriminalization in the U.S.---but their point of comparison with Portugal was New Jersey. Because they're about the same size, the Republic of Portugal and one of the smallest states in my nation. I just think that when we ask ourselves why things work differently in different countries, "literally, physically different" should occasionally feature in the conversation.

#we are interviewing for yet another european team member and it makes me want to scream #I cannot do all the things I need to do for the US because you're so busy finding people to handle the EU!! #you ALREADY have people plus external counsel for europe! I NEED HELP. #ugh. ugh ugh ugh. #the only benefit is that we have the most relaxed wfh attitude in the entire world #technically I need to be in the office twice a week; in reality my boss is halfway around the world and doesn't care #still. would drive 2 hrs twice a week if I could get someone to help me. #no wonder the company has to secretly manipulate you

this generation of kids is so fucked and it’s so depressing to watch in real time. the amount of parents that are like “my preschooler got covid/rsv/had to be hospitalized but it’s ok because kids get sick all the time” is so……in 20 years or so when these kids are in early adulthood we’re going to have an increase in autoimmune diseases and chronic respiratory illnesses along with heart conditions and strokes due to repeated covid infections and researchers are going to be scratching their heads on the cause and ignoring that we let kids go back to schools mid-pandemic with no disease mitigation and then ignored a second respiratory disease resurgence

#it’s **alarming** that between the pandemic and rising pollution #we’re soon going to have a generation that’s less healthy than the previous #we’re failing our youth #also I say covid but before this a lot of schools have mold asbestos shit food lead water etc etc #like we are FAILING these children a lot of them are in worse environments during their school week than most adults #they don’t get a choice or a say like some of these kids are sick nonstop because they’re in dangerous unventilated buildings #but no one realizes because it’s ‘just a cold’ #I know I sound dramatic but a good chunk of my family is in teaching some of these classrooms don’t even have windows??? #meanwhile as adults we have wfh set ups and osha lawsuits and unions doing a tiny bit

the universe must have heard my complaining from the past week because i was assigned two projects and one discrete task at my externship today :'(( i can't go into details but they involve subpoenas, investigations, and doc review, oh my! after i logged off of work, i got some coffee and journaled on the patio outside—i love the mosaic table and little tree that's signaling the beginning of autumn☕🍂 

#yes it seems like i go to cafés and journal after work everyday because that is indeed what i do #i'm boring during the week bc i'm basically wfh and my desk is super messy #i'll clean it up at one point and have a productive desk pic..... #studyblr #mine #studyspo #study inspiration #tea-tuesday #study #study motivation #studying #books #legal #law school #lawblr #chaotic academia #cafe #reading

[boltlightning]

i'm on leave this week and it's remarkable and a little sad how much better my mood and energy are when i don't have to think about work, lmao. the last few months i have frequently had to ask myself "wow why am i so tired" and it turns out, being forced to work through burnout with no reprieve in sight will make you a more dour and fatigued person! wow!

#i've written more in the last two days of vacation than i have all month <3 #i cannot stress enough that i work in a boring corporate office and wfh most days of the week. i know my situation is pretty flexible #but good lord is it draining my soul #ignore me #edit: is this in people's recommended posts. hello if it is. sorry you all also have to go through this lol

[sage-nebula]

If you don't leave your house unless forced because you feel so guilty about leaving your dog home alone that it regularly makes you break down crying can you really say you have a guilt complex

#hi my name is Sage and i have a Problem™️ #websites say to never leave your dog home alone for more than 4 hours #but i have go be gone for 9 hours 3 days a week for work!!! #and she has separation anxiety so she trembles when she realizes i'm abt to leave! #so how am i supposed to leave during other times? i do on special occasions but otherwise i can't! #i feel too fucking guilty! #i am literally in tears rn bc i feel like i have failed her and her life is worse bc i'm the one who adopted her #when i'm a single woman with a full time job who has limited WFH #this is why i need therapy but can't get it bc no one is accepting new clients! fuck!!! #anyway #i'm gonna go drown myself in my tears now #be back later

[nametakensff]

I'm so upset. I woke up with my sinuses all scratchy and have been trying to ignore it again thinking surely I can't have another fucking virus only a month after that evil one but my sister just called me from work and said she's been feeling the same way

I'm so fucking sick of this. It's the fifth time I've gotten ill this year. Never in my life have I gotten ill so consistently, especially not with the illnesses being so intense, even when I had a terrible lifestyle and didn't look after myself. I genuinely think c*vid fucked me up last summer and my immune system hasn't been the same since 😣

#and i just started work this week #i'm gonna work through whatever sickness this is because there's no way i'm missing out on getting paid but i'm so pissed off about it #so lucky to wfh #also that cold we had in asia? looking back at the symptoms and timeline we think it was actually c*vid #i wish masks were still a fucking thing here #if i have it now AGAIN i'm just gonna bawl my eyes out but i have no way of testing either way #we think we got sick from my sister's graduation last saturday #praying this is an overreaction and i'll be sick for like 2 days then move on #nttalks

lol whenever I deal with the toxic bullshit from the men in my family it just validates why I have chosen to remain single for this long.

#thank god I’m wfh because having a fight over the phone is not I expected my Thursday to go #and I can honestly admit now that the men in my family are emotionally so toxic #im never putting up with this garbage from anyone else #either way I’m going to hermit myself for the rest of the week because my peace of mind is what counts #peach: diaries 🌷

potentially got an apartment after a viewing and spent two hours on a train and also got my piercing switched out all before noon i love 'working' from home

#i guess ill open my laptop now #currently in my favorite cafe #yes wfh 4-5 days a week sucks but occasionally it's chill
