workplace microagression: scheduling your marketing emails for bad days and times because you pissed me off.

i'm really gonna need boomers to either get up with technology (not chatgpt) or retire.

I'm so fucking tired of getting word documents with unusable links in it because you couldn't click one button and change it from a mailto link to a url link asdfghjkl

i know this is really hard to understand... so i'm going to explain it for you.

my job is primarily marketing events.

i work with hundreds of events a year. I am currently working on 6 upcoming events that overlap YOUR area of expertise.

when you send me an email with the subject line "pic and bio", i have no idea what event you want me to edit.

i am BEGGING yOU to give me a crUMB OF CONTEXT.

Needed to edit a graphic for work to say "Day" instead of "Night", and instead of going to the source, my boss ran it through Chat (ugh, don't get me started).

like dude it took the same amount of time for you to do that as it would to just open the photoshop file and adjust the text.

also it wasted SO much more resource.

also it LOOKS bad (one of the people is missing a finger, the logo on his clothing is completely fucked, and why do AI faces look like that???)

I just... its baffling to me that the first thing you think to do when you need something edited is to just... run it through an ai program.

okay imma be bitchy for a minute.

imma hold your hand when i tell you this:

Resizing an image to make it bigger does not actually make the image bigger. It just makes it fuzzy. And it pisses off the designer who asked for a higher resolution image.

I just deleted all Meta apps from my phone, and while Facebook and IG were pretty easy for me to get rid of (I use other apps more than either of those), it really hurt to get rid of messenger.

I've been using it almost exclusively to chat with my best friend for like... a decade almost. And I have groups on there that I partake in chats in, that (while not crazy active in those circles) I'm super sad to lose connection with.

It's just... a lot of history and connection to be without. But I just can't with Meta anymore.

I need to talk to my husband about it tbh, he hasn't had Facebook, IG, or messenger on his phone in like 5 years; he just doesn't use them like I have. He misses connections with people but makes an active effort to be present in the lives of people he cares about... So i guess i need to stop playing solo games on my switch and play more of the online games that those friend groups play.

Idk i'm just feeling a type of way about it, i guess.

for obvious reasons i don't want to tell people at work that I'm having my tubes tied, but the closer we get to my surgery date, the more it comes up in conversation, and the "Oh I'm sorry you're having surgery" conversations are so weird because like,

I'm excited about it! I've wanted this for a decade! Also I get two weeks off work!

But I can't exactly tell people that (I work in a very progressive field but I'm a 30 year old, recently married woman with no kids, so it's not a debate I'm willing to get into at work. Also it's none of their business lol), so I've resorted to "It's a lingering health issue I'm finally having resolved".

God people are weird.
