what's the secret to keep going if you somehow can't keep going? how to keep prowling on instead of just calling in sick, and giving up? any mantras? reasoning ?

next year, money-wise, I have the choice of:
A - taking a short trip with a friend to a place I am passionate about (it would definitely be fun), or
B - a longer trip alone, going home, recharging some much needed energy and calm

Nurse:
It’s become a real problem in this area

Nurse:
We’ve seen the whole community lost to addiction

Show a building sign posted:
Westminster ‘X’ Addiction Clinic
With various Westminster people or looking at their phones outside it
Nurse:
Ministers, Spads, Researchers…

Nurse:
Most mornings we’ll get a call about someone acting strangely
[Nurse on phone taking a call]
Ok - we’ll be right over
5
Nurse:
We just have a gentle chat
[Nurses approach a minister –Robert Jenrick? - standing in the Palace of Westminster
Minister:
I understand your concerns…
6
Nurse:
Are you OK love?
Minister:
Yes I’m just hearing legitimate concerns from real voters
7
Nurse:
That’s a robot, a Nazi and a poorly-disguised Russian
[Show that the people he is talking to are precisely these characters]
Nurse 2:
Give us your phone, love

Nurse:
At the clinic we put them in a Grass-Touching Pod, with a real voter to talk to
[We see them back at the clinic, holding the minister's head and pushing him into a glass isolation booth with a grass floor. And it is a baffled looking woman, on a chair, ready to talk to him.]

Minister:
YOU MUST BE WORRIED ABOUT THE COMING CIVIL WAR
[woman looks baffled]

I just want a bus service
Minister:
LOOK AT MY FLAG

my takeaway from climate week nyc is that "climate storytelling" is a little too much "we must reimagine our deepest souls in relationship to mother nature and the moral abyss of the polycrisis into which we must now stare" and not enough "ok but get a heat pump"

had a really shitty work meeting. some older guy telling me proudly "we've done it that way for 35 years and we see no reason to change now" and I am just so fed up with this attitude for inclusivity, accessibility, mobility, and urban planning in general.

I'm gonna need to drag myself out. today's plan: morning household chores, grabbing a cup of coffee with a colleague after lunch, and in the afternoon off to the next bigger city. just sitting in a café, working, soaking in the energy of lots of people and calming down.

I'm in a real slump for the past weeks. regretting the last move, but I can't do anything about that till the end of 26. and somehow I'm unable to push through and to just accept it, or I'm not even working actively to make the next move happen 😕

What's the difference between health and safety?
Health will kill you eventually (dust from cement, old mortar)
Safety will kill you now (rapid deceleration on contact with the ground).

genuine question: how does one get "interesting"? I don't read books (lack of time, not lack of interest), I don't really follow politics (gives me an ulcer), I do not have significant hobbies. Just going to work, keeping the household afloat, doing taxes, and taking me vitamins is stressful enough😕
