Realita kantor: makin lama kerja, makin sadar kalau bertahan di kantor tuh kadang lebih butuh emotional regulation daripada technical skill. skill kerja bisa dipelajari, tapi nahan ekspresi muka pas denger omongan absurd, ngatur nada bicara pas lagi emosi, dan tetap profesional di tengah orang-orang yang bikin darah tinggi? NAH, ITU SKILL YANG SEBENARNYA. professionalism is basically getting paid to manage your facial expressions and not say everything that's on your mind. trust me, ini skill bertahan hidup paling underrated di dunia kerja.

Je lĂ€nger man im BĂŒro arbeitet, desto mehr checkt man, was fĂŒr ein Witz das alles ist. Wir machen Meetings, weil die Arbeit nicht fertig wird. Die Arbeit wird nicht fertig, weil wir stĂ€ndig in Meetings sitzen. Also erstellen wir Excel-Tabellen, um den Fortschritt zu dokumentieren. Dann planen wir weitere Meetings, um die Tabellen zu besprechen. Und die Lösung ist immer wieder ein weiteres verficktes Meeting

how did we collectively accept that taking a week off work requires working at 200% capacity the week before and drowning for two weeks after, essentially neutralizing the vacation before it even starts?

Corporate life will teach you that knowing the work is only half the battle. The real skill is staying calm in meetings, reading the situation, handling egos, receiving vague feedback, and not responding to emails with your true thoughts.

Genuinely scandalous that Newcastle-Bournemouth is allowed to be scheduled as a 12:30. Inconveniencing fans means absolutely fuck all to Sky, the football authorities or plod.

Aujourd’hui, une fois de plus, quelqu’un m’a dit : — Ton travail ? Nettoyer des culs. Et croyez-moi
 ce n’est pas la premiĂšre fois que je l’entends. Mais ce soir, je veux rĂ©pondre clairement. Oui, je suis aide-soignante. Et oui, je nettoie des culs. Mais je fais aussi bien, bien plus que cela. Je lave des corps fragiles. J’habille des mains tremblantes. Je nourris des bouches fatiguĂ©es. J’offre des mots doux lĂ  oĂč il n’y a plus que le silence. Je rends leur dignitĂ© Ă  ceux qui ne peuvent plus la prĂ©server eux-mĂȘmes. Je prends soin d’hommes et de femmes qui ont tout donnĂ© Ă  ce monde. Et qui, aujourd’hui, ne mĂ©ritent qu’une chose : ĂȘtre soignĂ©s avec humanitĂ©. RĂ©duire ce mĂ©tier Ă  « nettoyer des derriĂšres », ce n’est pas seulement faux. C’est insultant. Parce que derriĂšre chaque geste, il y a du respect. DerriĂšre chaque contact, il y a de la dĂ©licatesse. DerriĂšre chaque garde Ă©puisante, il y a un cƓur qui a choisi de servir. Et vous savez quoi ? Ceux qui se moquent de ce mĂ©tier sont souvent ceux qui n’ont jamais eu besoin d’aide. Qui n’ont jamais vu un parent perdre son autonomie. Qui n’ont jamais eu Ă  accepter leur propre fragilitĂ©. Mais ce jour viendra. Et ce jour-là
 ils seront reconnaissants de nous trouver. Reconnaissants de trouver quelqu’un qui ne juge pas. Qui tend la main. Qui soigne avec dignitĂ©, patience et amour silencieux. Notre mĂ©tier est fait de personnes. Il est fait de courage. Il est fait de prĂ©sence, quand tout le reste s’efface. Ce n’est pas un travail comme les autres. C’est un travail vital. La prochaine fois que cela vous fera rire
 rĂ©flĂ©chissez-y. Car un jour, peut-ĂȘtre, ce sera votre tour. Et vous serez heureux qu’à vos cĂŽtĂ©s, il y ait quelqu’un comme nous.

The older you get the more you realize: Alcohol isn’t worth it. Exercise is therapy. Nature is medicine. Peace is priceless. Health is wealth. Happiness is homemade.

The opening two minutes of Match Of The Day, from this day in 1996. Back when there would be action from eight matches on a Saturday night, with a top drawer trio of Lynam, Hansen and Brooking guiding us through to bedtime. A golden era.
