minus-squareMajorHavoc@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up7·edit-25 months agoHaving gone back and forth, I now do my best to reserve one and only one “give-a-shit” for work, per day. Luxuriously, my single daily give-a-shit is quite effective, because I’m very good at what I do. Anyway, perhaps my mantra could help you “Is this worth spending my daily give-a-shit on?” Just try not to say the mantra out loud.
minus-squareHubertManne@kbin.socialOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·5 months agoIll give a shit the whole workday but it annoys me to not leave it there. Heck I don’t even begrudge the back of mind solving that happens overnight or weekends. Thing with yesterday is it was like messing with my ability to relax and watch a show.
minus-squareMajorHavoc@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·5 months agoI’ve had that. I hate it. For me, it was a sign it was time to change jobs. The bigger sign was my spouse telling me “you need to change jobs”, of course.
minus-squareHubertManne@kbin.socialOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·5 months agoIm in the US and my spouse needs healthcare. Main reason I don’t change jobs or just contract really.
minus-squareMajorHavoc@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·5 months agoOof. Yeah. Gotta do what ya gotta do. I really did have a mantra, to help keep it in check, when I was dealing with that. After hours, it was “I spent that give-a-shit at work, already.”
