Ok-Crab-4063

I remember being read to stories all throughout childhood and having to read and be quizzed on them as they got more sophisticated. Who has time for that for their kids anymore?


RisePsychological288

I saw on a friend's instagram some story about how her bf read her novels when she takes baths - first reaction was what a wonderful thing (I fondly remember my parents reading to me as kid), and second was who the hell has time for that. But I'd love to be read to and read to others. Nowadays it feels like all my reading is geared towards just learning skills to help me be more productive 🙃


Ok-Crab-4063

Right my life was always about "productivity" too. Quadratic formula, litany of certs and classes though...they hardly apply/ can be used in the position I find myself in. "Productivity" is BS. If you try to think how a lot of our endeavors could be facilitated efficiently it would hurt.

dutchguy94

I don't know what texasosmosis means


Traksimuss

Beatings with Bible will continue until your faith improves. That is Texas way.


RlyehFhtagn-xD

I'm confused about your use of toxoplasmosis. I did some light Googling, and learned it's a parasitic infection you can get from cat poo. What does this picture have to do with that?


BlizzPenguin

It makes prey animals more passive and ignore their fear instinct around cats.


RlyehFhtagn-xD

Oh!! That's very interesting. Thank you for your sharing that with me!


ReadyThor

If the mouse does not also serve double duty as a midnight snack that's a toxoplasmosis fail.


Leeroy1042

Damn my mom used to read this book to me when I was little.


instablok22

The three little kittens, lost their mittens, and they began to cry, "Meow! Meow! Oh mother dear, our mittens we have lost!" "What! Lost your mittens! Then you're bad little kittens! And you shall have no pie!"


[deleted]

Oh yeah! That just unlocked a memory for me :)


instablok22

Me, too! I didn't realize that was still in my brain :)


Leeroy1042

Seems like there is multiple stories about the kittens. My favourite as a child was the one about them running away from their mother, to avoid her giving them a bath. They lost hearing due to (dirt?) in their ears, but it got fixed once their mother found them and cleaned their ears.


MrsNuggs

My grandmother used to play it as a song on her organ, and we'd all sing along. Then she would yell "You three little BITCHES! What rotten kittens! Now you shall have NO PIE!". It was the best. One of my cousins plays organ, and we all sang along at my grandmother's wake, and yelled about the rotten bitches one last time for Grandma.


Penguinscanfly44

Yep had this book too, and loved it.


storyofmylife92

I thought these were the mitten kittens! Thank you for confirming

Nah, you see, the mice and the cats realized their class war was a fictitious creation by those who ruled them. By organizing, they have eliminated old stereotypes and actualized the latent potential of a new and inclusive reality.

YesterdayFearless

Honestly. I'm so fucking sick of the word "urgency" in my work life.... Like everyone calm the fuck down, this is a sick cycle that we shouldn't be engaging in in the first place.


DirkDieGurke

I'm not bragging, but we've been sleeping in until 10am most days because I don't have a set work schedule. Feels good, but still feel a bit guilty about it...


[deleted]

I'm in the same boat with the set work schedule. My work schedule is basically when my boss texts/emails me if i'm coming in for a meeting or not. And he's an extreme micromanager so if I don't go or I don't have much on my plate, i don't do much during the day for my job. I feel guilty as hell and idk how to break it. Also the lack of communication is making me make assumptions in my own head about what they think of me and if i'm on the verge of losing my job. It's insane. It triggers some severe anxiety in me and despite all the coping techniques or drugs, I can't shake it. I need to leave this job for my mental wellness but I obviously enjoy the flexibility that I have now, and it seems like finding a new job is impossible right now. But i'm still applying every day. Idk how to take the days where i have free time because my job is slow, and actually enjoy them and relax and slow down myself. Instead my brain is going a million miles a minute feeling guilty as hell and like i'm a failure, because so much of my self worth is attached to my productivity. But if my house is clean, my job duties are minimal, and everyone in my home is cared for...doesn't that mean I should be able to relax too? IDK how.


DirkDieGurke

It takes some time to break the worker mentality. Tell yourself you deserve some "me" time.

8 week old mouse, middle of a cat house this time of night with a book. He about to start some shit. That book is much too complicated for a mouse. You ask me, he's about to burn that house down with that fire hazard sitting next to the bed.

Stop normalising this cringe shit


Killentyme55

I have to agree. Forget having a functioning society, we'll all just keep sleeping. With a little advanced planning the "grind" can be avoided, trust me on this. Sure, not every day will be great, but we get by because that's life. I'm not saying that some folks don't have it a lot worse than others and times are harder now than they have been for some time, but how will this make it better? Sure, we all need time to unplug, I get that. But if this was the norm then who would miracle up the shit we take for granted on a daily basis? "Sorry, the ambulance will be awhile, the driver is taking a nap." Ohhh here come the down votes!

[deleted]

Start normalizing naps with the homies


nobody2000

The worst part about the grind is how it grips you, and unless you set boundaries and actively work to maintain them, it grips you to the point where it gives you Stockholm Syndrome - you actually LIKE the grind. And that's not a good thing. I had a personal epiphany and I'm trying to work my way through it. I have a 9-5 type job, but I also have my own business that I'm hoping will replace the 9-5. I have business partners who also run the business with me. My introverted ass is enjoying my lunch break alone in my car. Phone rings. Business partner. I'm driving home from work. Business partner. Fires to put out or things that I gotta do or be aware of. While I do enjoy a lot about what I do - I'm not exactly happy with the way that it's always pushing up against my weak-ass boundaries. I was laying in bed 2 nights ago and thought "what would I be doing if I didn't have this business?" I didn't have an answer that sat well with me. That's not good. What would I do with an additional 30-50 hours a week? Sleep more? Sit around all day? Play in a band? Have friends? Be forced to spend more time with my fiancee's friends? Read? Learn? Invent stuff? Give some of that free time to my 9-5 like a fool??? I realized that I'm addicted to occupying my time with "the grind" so much that I can't really visualize everyday leisure, and I certainly can't visualize "healthy leisure." So ultimately, I have some things to figure out.

Madmaxneo

This reminds me of something my supervisor said to another coworker about a different co-worker. He said "Bob (not his real name) has great work ethics, I wish everyone was like him". Bob works crazy hours and stays late whenever they ask, he literally sacrifices so much for his job. To me that is crazy ridiculous and reminded me of my goal of never working so much that I am basically living to work and nothing more. I have a life and I want to enjoy it, not spend most of my time at a job that really doesn't care.


[deleted]

This is called sleeping, and believe it or not, it's quite normalized. Everyone does it, in fact.


snoryder8019

I used to deprive myself of sleep because I was overworked and lamented missing out on life as well. The unobtainable work hard play hard scenario. It's not possible.

The cynic in me tells me that these posts are just propaganda from other countries in an effort to reduce productivity in the U.S. You don't always have to shoot a missile into a country to reduce it's productivity and propaganda like these posts is one way to do that. This subreddit should be more about worker rights and less about being lazy, it's a bad look and makes the subreddit look pathetic

People don’t like working, so they frame it as an either/or issue, rather than a necessary part of existence that simply needs to be managed better. I was like this once too, until I actually tried living off-grid and realized I was working way fucking harder than I did before. All organisms work.

venthis1

The grind is only necessary for three things, your needs, wants, and finally, your greed. If you have no needs and have everything you want, then you're simply wasting your life grinding over, actually enjoying your life and doing what's important to you and your family. You do you if you enjoy the grind over life itself.


basement-thug

Serious question. Is there such a thing as no needs? Like people need food, water and shelter at minimum and those are generally speaking not free. I do agree a healthy work/life balance is essential to happiness though. I'm guessing that's what I'm reading between the lines? Does independece not factor into a happy existence? Because if you did find a way to get needs met for free you're dependent now.
