How Are You Feeling Right Now?

A bit rubbish. Someone asked a question about something related to work on Reddit. I was busy but took the time to answer the question in a couple of sentences. Nobody else replied. Then a day later someone came along calling me a "jerk" for not taking into account the OP's anxiety in the way I answered the question. (It was basically "this is normal, happens all the time, don't worry"). No different to how I post on here. I pointed out that in 24 hours I was the only person to answer the question and started getting downvoted into oblivion for some reason. Makes me think twice about helping out in future and I said as much. Now I have to avoid reddit for a bit because I don't go on there for arguments, just a bit of banter or to help people. Like my remote version of the water cooler chat. Some "jerk" always has to come along and spoil things. I reported them for harassment but feel bad about it now.
sorry about the experience..

Fed up really. Had to commute for a single one hour meeting which ended at 5pm. Leaving me with option of rush hour bus or getting on with some remote work from office. Great idea, except neither of my special projects are currently loaded on my dash and I'm just too tired to try tackling any of the more boring work. (I know one has been paused for now, but don't know what's happened with the other one as people are talking about i on Slack but I don't have it so am anxious I've been kicked off it) So am just passing the time until I can see how the 6.40pm bus is. I need a better deal with myself - if my favorite work is not around, and only the lower paid jobs are there, I do not need to work for the sake of it, I can work on the good stuff whenever it's there, but when it isn't I can take a break. The projects do come up at odd times, like yesterday there was nothing all day and then at 6pm I got a high paying one and did 6 hours of it until I dropped at midnight. It's all a bit unpredictable so perhaps I need to behave like a fireman in the movies - playing cards and passing the time until the call comes in.... Or something like that! First I have to get home somehow on the mobile pandemic contraption.

Home. The mobile pandemic test lab lived up to its name, only now with drunks added in due to the time of year. I only hope my masks have done their work. I simply do not want Covid for a 3rd November in a row (or Flu, or anything else!) Ah well, I'm home. Unfortunately I've got another commute tomorrow for another one hour meeting (downside of cutting my workload on the non-remote job, these situations are more frequent!)
