No matter how much you idiot proof something, life always seems to produce bigger idiots.

    Sometimes it’s okay to be a bit rude. It’s rare, but every now and again, necessary in order to not become a doormat. It is totally normal and human to try to change your environment (including the behaviour of others) to suit yourself and your happiness.

      I’m not a doormat mate, but I do know where my bread is buttered, and I do know that if I just say “no”, my project manager, dept head, and the agency owner (who all sit within about 4 feet of me and my colleague, gotta love open plan offices) would not be best pleased.

      I just want to get through my days at a shitty agency and pay off my debt, before I quit the industry and find something that isn’t populated by AI-crazed marketers and money-grubbing, dishonest arseholes. If such an industry exists, at this point 😂

        Of course. It’s your life, live it how you see fit. I’ve definitely been in similar shoes.

        On a friendlier note, may I just say, you have quite a way with words, and your choice of phrase sparks joy in me. I hope you do find a better life after your debts are paid, as much as I hope you have a good rest of the year, with many more to come.
