Some people have to decide between groceries or the heating bill payment this week for a long time. The current gas prices are now adding to this mental, weekly essentials budget.

Be thankful for what you have.

Much of the world pays a lot more in gas prices due to taxation or refining costs. It’s not that bad, frankly, and especially those of us who drive small vehicles

LS1 Copenhagen and Aarhus have decent systems but try taking a bus to the factory where you work, which in many cases doesn’t exist. For most of Denmark, unless you’re in the city of Copenhagen or Aarhus, you need a car. That car comes with 180% tax on top of a 25% VAT.

When I was a teenager, me and my friends nearly ran out of gas. Pulled into the station and literally dismantled the car seats to find change to buy gas. $0.28 later, we were on the road again.

Gas was probably $1/gallon back then. I’m old.

Growing up i remember my mum and I only EVER fuelling up to $10 (early 2000s not USD). JUST enough to get us around for most things we genuinely needed back then. Always walked to the shops, school, etc. I didn't realise it then but she was scrimping and saving like crazy at the time wherever she could, and that helped my parents build what they have today.

The magic with my parents was that my siblings and i never really felt like we didn't have what we wanted. I just don't remember us wanting much to begin with (especially compared to today).

Whoever this is... they're focusing on the basics. Hopefully they build up too over time. It's tough out there y'all. Have some compassion.

I think I may have made a huge mistake today. My skip level director sent out an email about something and asked us for feedback. I sent back a note and provided some. One of the things I said was that our job satisfaction might be improved if we could do more of X kind of work instead of Y kind of work that we do so much of in our group. The next thing I know, I get a ping from his EA to set up time for me to chat with him and my director tomorrow. I am getting in trouble tomorrow, right?

LinkedIn is a garbage app where I can’t even post my opinion or experience because it will go against the mainstream ideologies. If I even “like” a post then I worry that my peers and managers see what I like and suddenly I need inclusivity training. What a load of shit! You can’t be who you truly are on that app. Which is why I like fishbowl so much, the anonymity is a game changer. If LinkedIn was a anonymous, we’d see a lot more support for Kanye and a lot less LGBQT material. Bet!
