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

@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.

@lucydev ever went to a meeting to get fired by such a terrible job, knowing they wanted you to be angry, to throw a fit, to cry, to yell... and you simply said "thank you" and gave them a speech about being free to pursue your own betterment and follow your heart to a more fulfilling career, and watched the life melt from their face?

chef's kiss moment, tbh.

denying a tyrant your energy when that's all they want more than anything is top tier.

@lucydev no but i probly will soon

@lucydev More than once.

@lucydev

Yes, and tragically it was the best-paying job of my entire life, but on the plus side: therapy exists and I'm not dead or in rehab. So...

@lucydev As a matter of fact, I did. Twice.

@lucydev I have once, it was an amazing feeling!

@lucydev I hope this will come to pass one day 🥹
