I really feel this comic.
I was sick beginning of December, mostly recovered after a week and I went back to work, but my throat still hurts when speaking - had 3 weeks off around Christmas, rested my voice, visited doctor for meds, but it’s still not gone. Doctors are still not sure what it is, but similar thing happens a lot with covid, so maybe it’s that.
Such a small thing, but lasts so long and doesn’t improve, I have zero control over it, and it makes me hopeless. I feel like it broke me, a successful manager, a married man in my 30s, I was crying yesterday when walking my dog.
Not sure how long can I go on working this way - I could of course go on sick leave, but doing that just after returning from a long holiday and kicking off a new project, will not make me too popular, and would guarantee that I miss the promotion I’m working for.
I hate it. People have no discipline/paitence, so if something didn’t work out, corporations want to turn everything upside down, instead drilling down and fixing a few small boring issues

Verse:
Last Christmas, I bought you a plane,
A B-52, thought it’d keep you entertained.
But it turns out, it’s not just for fun,
A hundred-year commitment weighs a ton.
Chorus:
Last Christmas, I gave you my plane,
But the very next day, you gave it away.
This year, to save me some stress,
I’m buying you socks and a matching vest.

31·1 year agoI was in Skopje for a wedding last year, very interesting country. Felt very Balkans to me, minus of course the “Greek” statues.
It’s funny to think about this useless arguments of pride between nations, but the effect is very much serious. It’s a poor country, which probably would be very different as an EU member,
Good timing, in December she can make some extra money as the grinch

6·1 year agoExactly. If they weren’t manufacturing and selling plastic trash, people wouldn’t buy it. I try to limit my plastic use, and recycle what I use, but that is not enough.
Single use plastics should be banned fully, coke and other companies could sell their stuff in glass or harder, reusable plastic.
