Management: "You missed a critical feature when you designed this. Fix it immediately."
Me: *fixes issue*
Management: "Why did you fix it that way? It would be better if done like this."
Me: "That's how it was setup in the first place and you insisted I change it."

My best friend just got his six year anniversary award from his employer.
It's a $5.00 gift coupon for the company's cafe on campus. 
No really, they shouldn't have.
#cleaning #whybother #why Delightful young lady is coming this morning to help me with the house cleaning. The other half is vacuuming ready for her arrival! 
I liked these two of many in a 2015 NYC subway - art installation?? They were particularly relevant to me - I was absolutely fed up at work & had just accepted a redundancy payout/early voluntary retirement.
(If made redundant in Australia, most pay agreements include a payout based on how long you've worked there. If also retiring early, there are generous tax concessions. I'd been there 24 years - it was a good farewell gift!)

One thing I've realised is no one I know is having a midlife crisis, because none of us have managed to get anywhere or do anything in 45 years on earth. No houses except for the nepo babies, no kids, no money for sports cars. Just student loans and a long string of terrible jobs we barely got paid for We've been freaking out since 17 and eating out of dumpsters half our lives and societal collapse doesn't even seem like a bad thing anymore.
Friday night used to be pizza and beer.
Now that I'm, well, older? It's chicken ceasar and a caffeine free diet drink. I like the fruity ones - orange/mango.
Do you know what to call a sugar free no caffeine soda?
It's a "Why bother."
