People and Processes
I don't like to deal with people problems - but I'm decent enough. Yesterday, we explored IT being fake. Today... well it's just me complaining again lol. It's really hard being likable. I'm p good at this point in my career. In wrestling mark circles, you'd call this "being over". I'm pretty "over" at my job. People tend to trust me for some reason. And by some reason, I mean me putting a ton of effort into trying to win over people. I change the way I speak. It's like a more calming, non-judgemental tone. As someone who is very judgemental and spiteful on the inside (and on this blog), it's hard to contain the sheer negativity. But that's what "customer service" is (even if you're not working with customers). Ya just smile and tell people things are gonna be ok all day. Things are absolutely not ok. But it's not my job to say that. It's my job to be an emotional janitor, mopping up peoples' messy feelings after they spill them all over the damn place.
Idk, I have always felt sorry for people in IT who've lost their empathy. 10 years and close to 10 shitty jobs later, and I think at least 90% of my empathy is intact. We'll see how that goes over the next few decades.

I did not just say "the next few decades"...
