The Cozy Corner

That's my approach. Get my assigned duties done. Don't complain much and leave work behind me the second I'm off the clock.


Just as a curiosity, how did your boss respond to your comments about emails being a waste of time?

(Which they often are)

Well I work in Fire & EMS so its not like the business or IT world where there are far more emails going out daily. But of all our emails, I would say maybe 10% actually matter and are necessary in reading to complete my job. Like you, I also like to simply show up, do my job, go home and leave work at work until I get back. They essentially admit that there is a lot of fluff, but that it's still my responsibility to sift through the fluff to make sure I don't miss the important stuff. Oh, so they're admitting most of it is all bullshit and simply creating busy work. Lol.

TBF there is a really good reason to reduce the number of emails
The energy the data centres need to operate is crazy.

Think of the environment people (and more importantly, my sanity) before you send me another pointless email

Amen sister! Preach!

 

[CJamarous]

What can I say, I live for the chaos

It's okay... once a month or so I just select them all and 'mark as read'.

Will do that tomorrow and update you with my unread email count of 0

 

[CJamarous]

But... so many meetings could be emails and those meetings are time suckers
idk
none of it is great

This is also true! Like, just let us do our jobs and enough with the unnecessary meetings and emails!

If it were all great and easy and fun we wouldn't be getting paid to do it.

I’m here to escape reality, lol

Okay, I don't go back to work until Wednesday and I'm already annoyed at the amount of emails that will surely be waiting for me to go through when I get there....time for a music dump and better things than work emails

 

[MidwestPrincess23]

Just finished my pot of coffee. I’ll probably just eat a granola bar. Exciting, I know.

Coffee and memories of the weekend's food?

 

[MidwestPrincess23]

Well, so far the breakfast burrito is winning
I have a third of a Chipotle bowl leftover... that might just be breakfast

 

[ScarletDaisy]

I just discovered 1/3 cup of cold coffee in my cup. Not the best part of waking up, but I'll take it on a Monday morning

I had 3 fried eggs over easy, two sausage patties and coffee, obviously

I have an orange and celery for my mid morning snack. Raisin Bran with skim milk was breakfast. Boring adult breakfast.

 

[kinkincguy]

Muesli and a mug of tea for me

I had some eggs and cheese on an English muffin, and plenty of coffee

 

[Qky75]

So the beauty of this glp1 shot is I don't get hungry and don't eat so much...the down side is I don't get hungry and don't eat so much.

 

[Stephie02]

Breakfast was coffee, but I got snacks for between classes later

 

[Shenanigans90]

Sausage egg & cheese biscuit for me.

Boring adult breakfast.

Nothing about you is boring..

 

[ScarletDaisy]

I don't breakfast usually during the week. I fast until 1 or 2.
