back to work.

It’s official

I am back to working FT

I will be training this week and next week.

It’s been nice to be off, but I obviously I have bills to pay. I did take an easier job with less stress this time around.

It’s a stationary role, so mostly monitoring.

Which is nice; because I am allowed to bring my schoolwork and computer to work.

My boss actually encouraged me to bring my laptop so, I can work on my schoolwork.

Which is nice because then I won’t have to worry about studying as much when I’m not at work.

It’s killing 2birds with one stone.

I’m ready for a more mindless role.

I also will be getting paid every week, which I highly prefer. It just makes things easier for me.

There is also a cute little gym w/cheap membership $18/month-month. Which is nice, perk.

I have 6weeks of classes left, before a short break before fall semester.

I am still keeping my Amazon flex position. I will just probably work 10hrs week.

I am also still working on investing in myself.

I have now written my goals for Q3.

I actually accomplished some of the goals that I wanted to for the most part in Q1, Q2. Now I’m working on writing down my Q3, Q4 goals.

Men whining about how their wives are ole ball and chains are pathetic but family men who genuinely love their wives and children engage in this conversation to a degree and some people have got to realize this is a roundabout way of humblebragging.

“My wife’s lululemon clothes are like a hundred dollars for a couple of tank tops and that’s on top of the spinning class fees! Also she keeps asking me to go on a vacation to Hawaii but I gotta work you know? And these days all my daughter talks about is finding the perfect dress for prom…”

This may sound like the guy resents his wife and daughter but what he is really conveying is “I am successful enough to support my family on a single income and for my wife to go to spin classes in overpriced athletic wear and still afford a vacation to Hawaii if I could spend time away from work and I have a loving family that wants to take such family vacations with me and my daughter is now a well-adjusted high school senior excited for her prom.”

And obviously he is choosing to lean in to toxic masculinity to fit in but part of the reason for this is that it’s seen as “unmanly” to find joy in these “frivolous” and or “feminine” things, and vocally taking pride in one’s happiness is often kind of frowned upon in many situations.

Young single men mistake these “complaints” too seriously and think having a wife is miserable, or worse, piss off their boss by agreeing too enthusiastically. Just smile and nod or say some generic shit like “ah kids grow up so fast” or “prom is a big deal for teenagers, I hope she has a great time” or “family vacation to Hawaii really would be a dream, though” and btw that is the an opportunity to insert your professional drive and competence into the conversation by offering to step up and take on some temporary responsibilities so that the boss can go to Hawaii for a week or two. Not only are you showing that you take initiative at work, you are also helping to improve your boss’s personal life and that is how you play the corporate game
