sex is great but have you ever quit a job that was ruining your mental health?

@lucydev Once. Makes me smile, just thinking about it.

@lucydev yes. Now I am in a different job that ruins my mental health. But it's less damaging

@lucydev, yes, and so many random and seemingly unrelated health issues (like, physiological issues) suddenly disappeared.

@lucydev Yes

@lucydev Working on it right now.

@lucydev Yes I have. It was brilliant!

@lucydev Only once almost 10 years ago and I'm still coming down off the high.

@lucydev no they actually fired me but I planned to quit anyway :3 so I also got pretty okay severance pay in the end

@lucydev found myself crouched next to a vending machine in the break room pretending I had dropped something to hide that I was crying.
No I literally found myself. Next day I came in with a bounce in my step, changed a few crucial passwords then walked into the office of the demonic entity that called themself manager and quit. Fuck you, fuck your deadline, fuck your project quit. Held up the passwords until the money they owed me cleared my account.
It was fucking orgasmic.

@lucydev but I still get anxiety from hearing the default slack notification sound ;333

@lucydev yes, it was good but mostly ruined by the fact that I had let it ruin my mental health for months previously

@lucydev is it ace to stay in such a job for too long?

@lucydev yes!

@nyanbinary i suppose a lot of things are nicer than sex if you're ace.

what is too long, anyways? I have total empathy with anyone unable to quit such a job because they can't just go elsewhere or quit without a plan b

@rail i get that from the ms teams call sound.

and jabber. Fuck jabber

@lucydev yup, a couple of times.

@lucydev so, any job?

@byte my first full-time position wasn't that bad, luckily. i hope my next one is alright too

@lucydev
Several times.

@lucydev Many times. It's glorious.
