The solitude in my life kinda feels a bit less bearable today after being drained at work. Who's up to chat?

Anything in particular you want to chat about but haven't had the opportunity to talk to people about?

Idk, I just feel a bit drained dealing with the usual people at work and their narrow view of the world. They can never see the big picture like we do here. The hot summer nags at me like that.

Coworker people or customer/client people?

Either way, i fucking feel you, comrade. The turbo libs at my job think theyre as far left as it's gets but are still incredibly bigoted and selfish.

They adopt leftist sayings sometimes which pissed me off more than it should lol

Coworkers. I wish I saw customers more, I think seeing satisfied people in person keeps me more sane than seeing a list of names and a pile of junk food.

My coworkers are people who I get along with to varying degrees of success. With the exception of one homophobic black communist I worked with, the white ones tend to have the worst takes. Kinda felt hopeless listening to one lady talk about migrants a few days ago, and she's one of the ladies I get along the best with.

I guess I feel crazy because I don't have folks to talk to irl and my observations just build up until they come out as some kind of logorrhea.

I think I'll just try to stay quiet at the next place I work at.
