feeling sad and stuck? rearrange some furniture. never fails. pointing a different direction in the same room feels like a gift.

literally me
ok yeah but let's get specific, what are we working with here? i just finished my ER rewatch (331 episodes although there are some i skip) and my mental health crisis demands more procedural drama. i've seen grey's and chicago med is not doing it for me at all. help!
here is another thing about work - i am not used to being so consistently and specifically perceived. clothes and hair and makeup and shoes and jewelry are all important rather than just functional. stop looking at me. stop putting my face on video. stop it.
nobody will give me any data! they will let me look at data in dashboards where i can manually copy out the numbers into a spreadsheet, but they will not give me access to the underlying data! give me the data!!! i wish to understand and report the data!!! how am i supposed to do that without playing with it!!!!

there is nothing like being disengaged from the formal workforce for a while to make you see the bones of capitalism. i have sold my time (and to some degree my thoughts and effort, but mainly my time) in exchange for a salary and heavily subsidized health insurance. i am trading time with my child for those financial benefits. it is a transaction.
Within a particular subsection of reality television—that is, shows designed to be aspirational as opposed to revolting—wealth is demonstrated by how dumb, how insignificant, and how imminently solvable your problems are. Most of the fights fall into this exact category: shit too stupid to care about unless you’re stupid rich, in which case it’s the only shit worth caring about. “More money, more problems” was always a foolish adage; in reality, the more money you have, the more infinitesimal the problems. Rich people are lucky in so many ways, but chief among them is that they get to care about things that simply do not matter.
But such is another benefit—or maybe, one key tragedy—of being part of the 1 percent. Your problems get dumber and dumber and dumber, until you can’t even see their own ludicrousness. To the rich people having these fights, their outcomes are of paramount import. No one can just let something go.

i, a person who in my professional life has zero exposure to health care information of any kind, am being inexplicably required to take a long and boring HIPAA training with many internal quizzes.
now i am watching an active shooter training video which i wish was as irrelevant to my life as HIPAA! it contains lines like: "sometimes bad people do bad things" "sometimes life feels more like an action movie" "you need to be prepared for the worst" it also includes instructions for how not to get accidentally shot by first responders

rebuilding my book collection after the fire is a project that is going to take years. decades.
every once in a while i pop into a used bookstore and look around. today the woman asked me what i was looking for. i'm looking for my old friends. looking for familiar faces. looking for buddies to take home with me.

two years ago today my house burned down. i thought if i worked really hard the first year, i could get things mostly resolved and go back to my real life. instead i spent the past two years with a full time focus on insurance and rebuilding and keeping my family stable and safe.
i am so sick of my life being all about this trauma that just happened to me. i am sick of the people and institutions that are supposed to help me recover being so fucking awful to deal with. i am sick of not having accomplished anything except surviving.
here's to moving on in 2024.

i'm in the middle of some serious life transitioning and i'm sure it will lead somewhere but so far all it means is that i'm uncomfortable and worried and out of my element at all times
