Work on your resume or Apply for a new job

I got my current role by rage applying and it’s weirdly great but still whenever I get mad at it, I either update my resume (I’m only able to boast about my work when I’m mad at my job!) or randomly apply to roles - it gives you a task to focus on and it could end up changing your life for the better.

Continue girlbossing but seek balance

I’m applying to a new role internally at my company that a colleague thinks I would be a great fit for. It would be a significant step up in my responsibilities and pay + I wouldn’t have to hustle as much as I do and could work less long hours… regardless of how this application goes that’s a huge goal for me just in general! I want to quit my self-employed work with an agency I absolutely hate in a field that I’ve never enjoyed but pursued out of convenience/necessity. I’m a generalist with good analytical decision-making skills and can do pretty much anything if I sit down and take the time to learn it (I keep surprising myself with what I can do!) so hopefully some of the efforts I’ve put in this year will pay off in seeking a career pivot. Would love to have more leisure time and to dedicate more effort to my creative pursuits. Going back to therapy might be a good idea because I‘ve made significant progress in a lot of areas but could use help in others. I also want to umm decorate my house more and probably replace most of my wardrobe…

did you regret leaving a chill wfh job?

i know i'm so privileged to have a chill wfh job where workload isn't high and no pressure from managers, but i also feel like something within me is dying inside. (i also definitely have undiagnosed adhd as do both my parents lol) when i DO have to do work, it is so fucking boring and i don't care about any of it. it's just writing up boring reports. so i procrastinate having to do them all the time which leads to a kind of weird low-level ambient stress that hovers over the rest of my life. the job is essentially a dead-end as i will never get promoted. my life goal is to continue writing (i currently write a substack newsletter) and one day have a novel, which technically this job allows me the time/flexibility to work on.... but i can't help wondering if staying in all day on my computer is depriving me of richer life experiences... don't get me wrong, i read as much as i can at home, call other friends with boring wfh jobs lol and do online courses etc, but idk.... i hate not feeling more agentic over my time. but does anyone ever? i've been offered a 2x a week PT role in a town nearby and it'll pay enough to cover rent but i'd definitely have to hussle for freelance stuff to make-up the difference, and idk if i'm ready to give up my laziness.... but is too much comfortability what life is about? GOD IDK

Broccoli

think about it... incredibly nutritious, more vitamin c than oranges (!!) widely available and affordable so easy to prepare, you can literally steam them in the microwave and delicious! esp when roasted, i linked an easy recipe :) plus they look like cute little trees and you can pretend that you're a brachiosaurus or some shit munching on them greens straight up goated vegetable

drinking landlord tears and knowing your rights as a tenant

I filed a complaint with a bunch of receipts to my city's rent board last month after my landlord notified me of another increase, and turns out she was in violation of increasing rent within 12 months following a previous rent increase The city just told my landlord to reimburse me the excess rent, and my current rent must remain in place until next March for her to be in compliance (she wanted to raise it another 10% in October lol)
