    Rejected anthology submission

    I found out that the drug pusher who made my life a living hell for seven years in middle and high school is now a born again Christian with a happy family and a degree in art.  No one seemed to know or care what she did to me, and this so-called Christian never once attempted to apologize for what she did.

    So I went on Classmates.com and left a note on my account where I called her out by name and told the rest of the class they should be ashamed that they did nothing to stop her.  Ever since I’ve been getting notificationst that people have been visiting my account at a much higher rate than normal.

    Gee. I wonder why?

    What really fucks me up about a 40 hour work week and I’ve tried to explain to people over and over is that like of you do the math you have maybe 3 hours every day to just like. Rest and be with your family. And that’s kind of it

    Like the average adult needs about 8 hours of sleep every night, so that cuts your 24 hours to 16 right off the bat.

    You’re working for 8 hours, so 8 left.

    But you actually work 8 to 5 at most offices, not 9 to 5, and that lunch is basically just long enough to retrieve food and eat. 7.

    It took you 20 minutes to shower this morning, 10 to get dressed, and 45 to make a bowl of oatmeal and eat it. We’ll say 15 to get your stuff together and out to your car. 5 and a half.

    You get home and have to cook dinner, 30 minutes min for that, probably more like an hour, so somewhere between 5 and 4.5 hrs left. And then you’ve got to eat it, 30 minutes if you’re being healthy about it.

    So at best you’ve MAYBE got 4/4.5 hours left every week day and that’s assuming you ran exactly zero errands, didn’t stop by the gym after work, didn’t have to stay late, have a wicked fast transition time between tasks AND a commute of like 5 minutes by car. If you have to go to the store after a quick run at the gym, pick your kids up from soccer across town, and you factor in a 30 minute commute both ways, you’ve got enough free time for like one episode of show Monday through Friday. And weekends have got to be for cleaning the house and going to visit your mom for a few hours.

    When do you write, or paint, or read or sew or go on hikes? When do you go on spur of the moment adventures with your wife and try to perfect your grandma’s soda bread? What happens when it rains on Saturday after being sunny all the rest of the week so you can’t go to the zoo that day and you don’t have enough money for the museum? Why are we all just content to postpone our whole lives, put off “happy” and “healthy” for a miniscule amount of extra value we’re producing for someone else?

    And it’s also a thing that fascinates me about hustle culture like. When do y'all rest? When do sleep and food happen? How do you make 3 different jobs work without dying?

    Idk idk like I said I’m real fucked up about it. It amazes me that more office workers aren’t great big socialists because we have this miserable job where we’re monitored constantly and just have to sit. Still. And maintain focus on ONE THING for EIGHT HOURS in a BORING GRAY ROOM with exactly two short breaks at designated times and I just?? How does that not suck for literally everyone else?? You said yourself, Angie, you’re useless after 3 pm so just?? Organize with me and negotiate for shorter days??? Like you’re literally already only producing 6 hours of value, you don’t need to be sitting there for longer than that.

    Kill the 40hr work week. We have the power.

    JUST IN CASE there’s anyone seeing this funny picture who doesn’t fully understand why this is a terrible idea a circuit breaker is a safety device.  It’s designed to shut off a given circuit in the event of an overload.  If you stop it from doing its job, you could set your house on fire.  Even if that doesn’t happen, you can also cause really expensive damage to your house’s electrical system.  

    Most houses (and other residential units) will have outlets on several different circuits. (Major appliances, like the stove and refrigerator, usually get their own.) If you have a breaker that keeps tripping, look around for an outlet that still works when that breaker trips, and plug some of your stuff in there instead.  (There may even be a helpful diagram inside of the door of your breaker panel–most of the places I’ve lived, it was either left blank or completely illegible, but it’s worth checking.)  The idea is to spread the load out over multiple circuits.  

    TIL the function of a circuit breaker isn’t common knowledge

    What the hell else do people think they’re for?

    Remember that there’s at least a whole generation of people who were raised without any serious education on how to maintain homes or personal property by their parents or schools

    Not just raised without - in many cases actively forbidden from trying to learn this kind of thing.

    But in a society that taught them that their purpose is to navigate arbitrary rules and challenges in order to score points. And if you haven’t had an opportunity to learn what a circuit breaker is actually for, it does in fact look like a puzzle to solve.

    Especially given that in many cases they’re NOT clearly labeled or mapped, especially in rentals.

     Why would someone who hasn’t had a chance to learn how circuits and circuit breakers work see anything here other than a badly designed set of redundant switches?

    So yeah, please don’t do this to your wiring. And also, please don’t yell at people for not knowing things they never had a chance to learn.

    (P.S. LED light strings put lower load on the circuit, too. More sparkles, fewer watts!)

    I think it’d be pretty funny if the next time an adult tells me I’m being Rude And Disrespectful™ I just went “ya it’s because I don’t respect you” and watch the gates of hell open before me

    Telling a boomer they’re not automatically entitled to my respect just to feel something
