It is the polar opposite of the hustle culture, and I despise the hustle culture. Here I can be comfortably adequate and still feel valid.
I haven’t done a damn thing today at work. My inbox is empty. The helpdesk is stagnant. Nobody’s come into my office with an emergency. I’ve been watching Star Trek TNG interrupted only by toilet and coffee breaks. I’ll wait for the cleaning lady to check the trash cans (they’re empty), lock up, and go pick up my dad’s gift.
What a perfectly adequate day.
I agree, this community is very cozy feeling. It feels like having a conversation with my Dad about working on fixing things or just old stories.
my man! [finger guns]
I also had a very chill day in which I did little and left early. Good stuff.
We need more spaces where people can just be their unremarkable selves without being pushed a ‘message’, bombarded about a cause, or pressed to transact or trade. Just be. It’s good for the soul.
