My therapist told me to 'do the work' and sit with my uncomfortable feelings.

So I added them to my calendar for next Tuesday at 3 PM, right after laundry.

My manager told us to 'embrace the chaos.'

Which I quickly translated to: 'we're understaffed and you're not getting a raise.'

I've been reading about the benefits of having a 5-year plan

I love how our company says 'we're a family here'

except when it's performance review time and suddenly I'm a foster kid up for adoption
