This is small potatoes given the state of the world, but I'm sick of my workplace having no help, no budget, and expecting huge returns on our work.
It's Saturday fucking morning, I'm off, and all I'm doing is sitting here worrying that I can't "make it work".
Tim Gunn deserves a smack for that.

Amazon just announced another round of 16,000 layoffs, months after it laid off 14,000 workers.
Reminder that Amazon CEO Andy Jassy raked in over $40M in 2024.
And Amazon is spending at least $75 million producing and promoting the Melania documentary.
The system is rigged.
