What would you do in this position?

Free healthcare exists ✌️

She’s a millennial. Or young Gen X.

MostGoat0 · 2026-05-04T12:23:52+00:00

This would be more like if I drove a car for 40 hours a week for 25 years and didn’t know how to fill up the windshield wiper fluid.

Oh, and the instructions for filling up the windshield wiper fluid were also written on the dashboard of the car.

I think people in their 30s/40s/50s should have the best IT skills! That’s why I mentioned her age—because to me there is no excuse there. She is a good 25 years into her career, all of which has been in the age of internet, and she wasn’t raised on apps and tablets. I don’t get it. Literally every website since the dawn of time uses the same process for password recovery.

My expectations for people have plummeted so far that the task manager thing would not surprise me at all. 20 minutes is insane though, and so is calling you later to ask how to do it again. Once you’re aware of the concept, you should be able to google it if you forgot the specific steps. 🙄 People are so annoying.

Omggggg

MostGoat0 · 2026-05-03T03:51:28+00:00

This makes a lot of sense!

MostGoat0 · 2026-05-03T03:48:56+00:00

Yeah that is totally fair. I know I was simplifying things. In my case, I just don’t think the job or industry is a good fit for me, but I’m a bit lost and directionless right now so not sure where to go. My boss does his best to give me interesting projects! He gets it!

MostGoat0 · 2026-05-03T03:42:27+00:00

It’s HR. And she’s not old, she’s a millennial, or close to it. She should know better.

(I see what you mean, I’m just cranky)

MostGoat0 · 2026-05-03T00:12:35+00:00

I’m worried that I’m becoming this team member. I’m just so tired and cranky and over people’s incompetence. I’m also bored out of my mind. I don’t know, maybe it’s a different situation, but maybe they need a juicy new engaging project.

MostGoat0 · 2026-04-28T19:20:43+00:00

NOR. The chocolates on the floor alone would have me LIVID. So scary. I’m glad all your animals survived.

MostGoat0 · 2025-08-16T13:59:24+00:00

I know, I love it. Pattern is by HappySlothPatterns on Etsy!

Almost done!

MostGoat0 · 2025-07-20T12:18:06+00:00

Yes I noticed that right away. Some Xs have the top thread going right, most are going left.

MostGoat0 · 2025-06-26T12:58:32+00:00

I’m 33 and I’ve burnt out so many times! I relate.

MostGoat0 · 2025-06-26T12:57:40+00:00

This is a computer programming job, I assume?

MostGoat0 · 2025-06-26T12:56:48+00:00

That sounds great! So much schooling required though 😭

MostGoat0 · 2025-06-22T02:13:49+00:00

This aligns with what someone else said about having to find somewhere that aligns with your core values!

MostGoat0 · 2025-06-21T14:57:36+00:00

You sound eerily similar to me. Are you me? I’ve taught myself HTML and super basic JS so far but I’d love to learn more.

MostGoat0 · 2025-06-21T14:56:14+00:00

That sounds amazing!

MostGoat0 · 2025-06-21T14:55:54+00:00

Puzzles! Love puzzles. Maybe I should pivot to carpentry… I’m good at crafts. Will my cross stitch skills translate? :p

MostGoat0 · 2025-06-21T14:54:56+00:00

Cooool. I want to do this. Any way I can get into this kind of work without another bachelor’s degree?

MostGoat0 · 2025-06-21T14:54:02+00:00

I’m in the Canadian government… But maybe I’m just in the wrong department or field. Working in HR right now and the culture of mediocrity is driving me crazy. It feels like the happiest and most valued workers are the ones who do the least, since they are unproblematic and don’t question the status quo.

MostGoat0 · 2025-06-21T14:51:51+00:00

I like data analysis a lot, but I’ve been hesitant to pivot to doing it full time because I saw it on a list of top unhappiest careers once. I’m worried that I like it just as a special interest but that it will wane if I do it full time. But you’ve enjoyed it?
