This pandemic is still freakin is out a bit. We are tempted to go to the coast this weekend since our in-laws are currently living in Durham for the next year so the house is empty.
I think we can walk on the beach safely since we have a smaller beach that is usually pretty empty. Just a bit worried everyone is thinking this way and it will be more crowded than expected.
and now the good part.
Life is good for the fam right now. It’s a weird feeling.

mission, but the longer I stay in this field the less I find myself giving a damn about the missions of these orgs. Now days I am laser focused on getting shit done and collecting my paycheck. I am typing this during an all staff meeting. I was already tuned out prior to logging on to OKP.
Now, to be clear, I care about all this great stuff the are doing in the community - to an extent. I mean it isn't like I work for a cigarette company. I probably could work for Philip Morris and they would certainly pay me more, but I work here so that is saying something, right...?
I feel slightly guilty, ugh!
It is hard to work in this field when you are not a touchy-feely person.

I so tired of this shit. I never thought he’d make it to year four.

or handwritten errors if I wasn’t doing everybody’s work."
^^ this is from my manager.
lmaoooooo
She pointed out a mistake I made; she said "In the future ensure that when you submit a request for cancellation you track the request to ensure approval at all levels."
and she's right. It's just that THIS particular incident happened 2 years ago.
ultimately my manager cleared the error; "because the system recognizes her as a manger" <----

Wife said we shouldn’t feel guilty because we worked hard to get here but it’s a weird feeling.
Hard to explain it but your last line summed it up perfectly.

there isn't a reason to feel bad about being successful, unless that success is at the expense of others. if it isn't, you can both enjoy your own good fortune, and do what you can to show compassion for those that are suffering.

may have jumped the gun on telling my new manager that I want to do a different type of work.
I moved into a new role a couple of months ago. hate it. this is project management/process stuff. essentially its cat herding. not a fan.
anyway, a couple of weeks ago during my one on one call with my manager, he said these calls will delve into other things like what I want do with my future. I said, since you mentioned it, I want to go into cyber security. seems like I caught him off guard because he was silent for a few seconds. then just said ok and we both hung up. hopefully this doesn't put me in jeopardy.
feels like I'm being selfish complaining about a job that pays good money. everything is paid off or ahead on bills. no financial issues even after the wife quit her job unexpectedly (she started a new one this week, making more than before). but this aint it. I need something else.

Manager was probably silent because he/she wants you to stay in their dept.

This morning I was going to write here that I feel extremely privileged to be in a house during these times, owning it is a whole other ball game, but just being in a house is a godsend.
Then I hopped on meetings
Drove around the neighborhood to check something out
Came back to the groupchat
"Evictions are kicking off in Houston"
And I'm just so tired of this country, just extremely extremely tired of this country.
