I should’ve gotten fired long ago if that was true… nope, quite the opposite.

Well, I actually do this for real 😅

After the second or third time a coworker (or family member) asks me how I’m doing and gets the “just as bad as usual” response, they just laugh and move on 😂

Then stop lying about it :

“Hey, how you doin’?”

" Everything’s bad, as usual, thanks"

Or

“Just as bad as yesterday, thanks, what about you?”

Or

“… next question?”

If it’s a client and can’t afford to be awkward, just say say

“Just another day”

And if people ask for more details but you don’t want to talk about it, just say :

“Just having a bad day”

Or

“Nothing good happened yet”

Or

“Nothing out of the ordinary”

Or just make up your honest but polite answers

Yes. I don’t like being forced to be happy even if I’m not.

Yes! I use Kiwi daily, as well as Firefox. Some things work better in one, some the other. It’s a shame it seems to be abandoned (no updates since April).

Me too, I had money. Then, Trump imposed tariffs on China which made my stock take a dive, and the company I used to work for suffered, meaning fewer raises or bonuses. Not saying tariffs were 100% a bad idea, China was, and is still, stealing our tech (observed first hand while at that job), but that didn’t help with the economy.

Then we had covid, which didn’t help, and Trump definitely mismanaged that. Biden then took over and … also mismanaged, but the opposite way, causing inflation. Thankfully, they brought it back under control, where we are now.

Now I have a new job and more money is flowing. And honestly, most of this is neither president’s fault or merit, really, they just like to point fingers and take credits for stuff they didn’t do.
