I keep struggling with the electoralism that has taken over the party the past few months. I get that elections are coming up and that thy are important but it's just not what I signed up for. Makes it hard to get motivated.
I'm starting to feel a bit burned out I think. Haven't had a proper day off since July apart from the odd holiday. I'm starting to feel annoyed by people lol. I take public transport to work and I'm just instantly mad at everyone around me for making noise, being rude, whatever. At work I get confronted with poverty every day and it's getting harder on my mental wellbeing I feel. I'm annoyed by things the party is doing and in the evenings I don't have the energy to do anything.
Currently sitting on the train next to two girls being loud and annoying and I have to stop myself from yelling like a Karen I feel.
Also, I have been taking cold showers for like a year now and usually they are fine with a small mental step to take every morning, but the last two days I spend 5 minutes staring at my shower being unable to get into the cold water. I took a warm shower instead. Couldn't get myself to do it due to stress.
That would make more sense but the influencers just seem to go for a Mad Men 1950s cosplay where they play secretly depressed housewives that drink wine all day
I know reddit is a mess but Instagram has to take the crown of bizarre comment threads for sure. You could post a picture of a pillow on a couch, no context whatsoever, and people will be fighting about something in the comments. You'd almost think the entire thing is simulated or something.
That's good if you can do that but unfortunately that's how many of my coworkers ended up with 500 hours of overtime lol. Some of them now have to work 4/5 at 5/5 pay for the next two years to compensate.
My job recently abandoned clocking in. Also, I don't have to generate a profit for the union, so 🤷 Feels much more free than before where every single minute was counted
The Dutch socialist sub is having a proper funny infighting session this week. Two or three MLs (though they seem to be ultras actually) are constantly starting shit about NATO being evil and the socdems and libs are getting mad about it.
