I just got back and my twin left me )`:

Deltarune Fun Fact:

When it comes to stuff like racism, sexism, homophobia, etc, I’ve found it’s usually way better to think to yourself ‘I don’t want to be’ than ‘I’m not’.

For example: I was recently trapped in long-distance transportation with a man who apparently didn't bring any tissues with him and proceeded to sniffle on a predictable cycle of one wet sniff every 15 to 25 seconds for approximately three hours. To prove that this is ridiculous and I am not overreacting by being annoyed, that is about 1 sniff for every 20 seconds, or an estimated 540 sniffs. 3 sniffs a minute. That's ridiculous.

I don't normally consider myself a petty person. I don't normally do anything with this information. It's just for me: a way of asking myself, "am I having an episode of some kind right now, or is this actually bullshit?".

Once, however, while on stationary guard with another security worker I did in fact contribute to his firing by running the calculations in a fit of internal frustration and concluding that- in addition to routinely arriving 45 minutes late to relieve me for my only lunch and toilet break- he was also absent from our assigned area of operation for a legitimate and easily-proven 78.9% of our shift.

(It was a low-traffic location. I had a lot of time. I made a pie chart.)

Anyhow, this is all to say that my personal productivity is something I take great pride in, and my brain is normal.

And- after running the numbers- it appears that while my productivity has increased 54% in the past year, compensation for this labor has increased an effective 1.5% adjusted to inflation.

And I'm mad about that.

Wait says the yellow light, twinkling in between.
