When one watches Swiss television archive footage or old pictures up to the 50s. The most striking thing is that not a lot changed : buildings are the same, festivals are the same. Everything that happened is still relatable.
Maybe the last fifteen years saw the most changes in Switzerland’s recent history with an acceleration in population change. People with Swiss ancestry tend to now constitute a minority in classrooms. I dislike that but I couldn’t say it was lived as a catastrophe.

Date yesterday went well. We had a coffee and then went out for lunch. Lasted about 5 hours.
I can't seem to be able to get a good night's sleep because of how I have to stay up to help with moving stuff for the family and then I also have to work on uni stuff still.

I miss my grandparents. But I'm glad that they don't have to see the current levels of bullshit. Although all of them were better equipped to deal with bullshit than I am. They were all so resilient and optimistic.
Also, I fear I'll be unemployed in a few years when bossman sells the company, and I'll never find a new job. Luckily, I don't have wife/children. Imagine being unemployed when you have children. It's horrible. I know because my father was unemployed for some time in the late eighties.
Life pretty much sucks. Still miss my grandparents, who have all been dead for decades. Miss my ex. Life is a miserable place and I wish I had the courage to kys.

>>24633Why worry? Bürgergeld is the best + you have more time for your Kids.
No.24638
>>24637> the bestExcept you have to live in a shithole, not have a car, eat Aldi-junk, use up all of your assets, and you can't save for retirement, so it means you will also be poor in your old age. You will have to live like some eternal student, except you are not a student anymore. You regress. You can only dismantle everything you have built in life, until it's all gone. Worse: everything your ancestors built will be dismantled, too. That wardrobe has been in the family through two world wars? Antiques, you are not allowed to have that, turn it into money. And they do make visits to check every closet and every drawer, to make sure there is nothing you hide. If they think you have too much or too good a quality of anything, it will have to be sold. If you have too many pots or too much cutlery, they will decide you don't really live alone and cut you to 0. What's too much? Arbitrary.
As for children, if you have any, you will be too poor to dress them in real clothes, feed them real food or give them an education beyond what is offered by the government. No music lessons, no skiing, and they'll have to eat junk food. Imagine feeding your children that shit Aldi-bread with some Aldi boiled sausage, and dressing them in track suites from Tako. Of course, they will have to go to a shit school with daily robberies and knife attacks, because you live in a shit place, and they will come home and talk like Turks, without articles, prepositions or cases. They adapt. If you have a daughter, she will start to wear a headscarf, and if you have a son, he will want to be circumcised.
It's a horror-movie.
The only way to survive on Bürgergeld is too have some undocumented side-hustle, to steal food from garbage containers, etc.
It's so much easier to have a job and know you make enough money to have a roof over your head and if 500g of black lentils are more expensive than the red lentils, it doesn't bother you, you can just buy black lentils. And you don't have to buy that god-awful cheap Ja! Oatmeal, either. And if there are ripe heirloom-tomatoes on offer, you can buy them. You don't have to buy green pre-packaged tomatoes. And when your washing machine is broken, you can order parts to fix it. And if you can't do that, you can pay someone to fix it or even buy a new one. On Bürgergeld? You can try to save up for a washing machine over five years, or pay it off on installments for five years, and then it's broken again and you will try to wash your clothes in the shower by hand, because of course you can't even afford a bathtub, and of course you will smell.
Life is so much better when you are not poor.

One coworker noted to another that I am not as
gung-ho about my job as I used to be. Heard this from the second guy who related their conversation. Told him he was right. I'm burning out. Going through the motions, upholding the standard and expectations I have established for myself but without actually caring. I used to tell them I was fueled by adrenalin and fear of failure. What has changed? I no longer fear failure. What's to fear? I have proven that I can do this job in my sleep.
I also tell people my job is primarily to put up with bullshit. That is grinding on me. Especially after this latest management shake-up. The remaining heads are all jockeying for position, trying to impress. I couldn't care less what the new bosses think. They'll see my work. Acknowledge my competence and eventually get out of the way and let me do my job. Bosses. How many do I even have? Too many.
Long day. I'm tired.

and of course, that would be just what I need, getting my stock depot stolen by the government on top of being unemployed, so I can be poor even faster and give everyone a cushy government job. It has been done. The result was shithole countries like the world never has seen.

I submitted the last paper of the semester. As much as I absolutely hated doing the translations for it, in the end I was kinda happy how it ended up teaching me a bunch of shit that I will hopefully be able to put to good use.
Starting my job next week. Will probably turn out fine. I drew up a budgeting plan and everything.
Also made a CV for that research position job for the fall.

I signed the contract and everything. Hopefully it goes well enough. Just get some money.
Idk not much else went to the store after work. Did some lifts because it's too hot to run and by the time the Sun has set and it's cool everyone's asleep and I don't want to wake them up.

I also know that, while quitting would feel good for a day or two, I would hate searching for a new job. And that new job could be worse. And could pay less. So I will hold my toungue and not tell my boss to go to hell.
No.24716
>>24713The thing with qualified labor is that they can underpay you and you'll still prefer to work here than to switch to another place and spend efforts for learning their job-specific things. On the other hand you can under-perform and they'll still prefer to keep you rather than wait half a year when a new guy (maybe) learns anything and will outperform you.
Since it's long-term relationships, it's better for both parties to act nice and honest, pay well and work well, but it doesn't always happen.
With tradies it's simpler, quit whenever you want, fire whoever you want.

Each time I try to get a hold of my life, I seem to lack the energy to do so. Each time I fall back into slumber without managing to achieve most of what I wanted.

Overall another productive day. I ended up cataloguing all the books that arrived on Friday and translating some stuff.
Also played some games with friends online.
Had a good lunch too.
Last night I drank some wine and it was really good. Didn't get drunk but the wine tasted really good.
Helped mom set up the pool again. Dad got a brand new filtration system for it and it was kind of nice if a bit filled with hubris to flick the switch on as I'm listening to Wagner in the garden.
Things really do feel fine right now, I guess.
