Putting out a call for book recs. With it being Spooky season I'd like to read some Halloween themed LitRPG stories. If you have any non-horror LitRPG suggestions please link them to me!

LRT: I signed up for the monthly sub, I tossed some $ at the gofund me. This site has been one I've visited for years, and never much thought about the running of... that was a little ignorant of me. So, time to do my part.

Dammit, the other supervisor claimed WFH this afternoon before I could. Still leaving the moment my boss does tho, and she has a 330 appointment today. >.>

Pup Whiskey @whiskeypup.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

This was a /long/ week, and it feels like most of them have been long lately. Still, my schedule is more free today than it has been for a little while, so today might be a good time to put my DND on Teams and catch up on paperwork/prep for next week. ...and maybe WFH at 2PM if I can swing it. >.>

Having to tell all the internal candidates but one that they didn't get the job. I don't think I like being a Supervisor today. D: (I'm very pleased with who we chose and I think they're amazing but darn it so was everyone else and I wish I could have them all in my team. Stupid budget.)

I find it a persistent frustration that work feels the need to put up flyers and send emails stressing proper work life balance, the need for rest and to unplug. It's just words, pretty words to check a box somewhere. The workload is high and increasing, and we aren't hiring staff to help.

Work wants me to attend a dinner tonight, since QA leadership from several sites across the country will be in the area. Sure, sure, but if I need to stay til 5:30 you're not getting me in at 7 per usual. Feels a little stingy of me, but I've learned to be REALLY protective of my free time lately.

I think given the choice I would much rather decline engaging in this 'Monday' you speak of. Alas.

Can't sleep due to an ill timed coffee, despite a lovely afternoon and evening. Time for longform video essays and some semi-mindless gaming... oh noes.

Pup Whiskey @whiskeypup.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Tempted to get into the WoW Forever beta, but I know I'll end up just noodling around with character creation, try to find a race/class combo I want to play, and do nothing else until full release when friends join me for real real. It's happened before, and it will happen again.

Worklunch was tomato soup and a blt today, I couldn't be happier. :9 Feeling good now that the coffeejangles have worn off a bit: got lots of sleep, actually ate something, and work anxiety has been very present but also very managed. Looking forward to going home, but so far Friday = good!

Myself and my co supervisor are apparently being invited to a QA Leadership Dinner being hosted by the company next week. Never experienced this before, time to see if I need to expand my wardrobe for this...

Last evening I was bemoaning to my boyfriend about always feeling like a fuckup, about how success seems unattainable. He asked me point blank what 'good enough' looks like, what are my metrics, how will I know I attained it? Readers, I am STILL bluescreening at this. I can't answer. Huh.

Being a rebel against capitalism and letting myself sleep in 30 min this am.

Pup Whiskey @whiskeypup.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Audit over! I am so exhausted, and I feel like I could sleep for a week, but the results were absolutely stellar! It's nice to be able to shine in front of Senior Management, and while it doesn't make the anxiety and stress worth it, it is nice to get kudos in front of the CEO and a VP or 4.

One of those workdays where Adobe crashes constantly, nothing you upload to the secure document repository displays correctly, and you're dealing with a 'simple fix' of reprinting 100 documents to pdf to 'flatten' them one at a time. Am I in The Medium Place?

Daydreaming about the San Jose Rose Garden, which was a fantastic place to sit and watch the world go by when I lived in the Bay. I know there's no shortage of parks and gardens around here, though - I should find me one to linger in before the weather cools too much.

Embarrassed as hell to admit it but I finally spoke to my boss about the trouble and anxiety I am experiencing over one aspect of handling sponsor audits; I was told that I don't have to do those portions, of course someone can cover me, and I wish I knew why I just tried to tough it out for a year.

Really rough night last night. Going to have to consider asking to be taken off certain duties at work, if every week they happen I deal with horrible nervous nauseous 3am wake ups. Pretty sure it's all anxiety but that doesn't make it suck less.

Pup Whiskey @whiskeypup.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

Meep, stomach wasn't happy at all last night. Time to be a little more careful, that pizza place might have been a little greasier than I thought it was. Still tasty at the time, tho. I'd say I regret nothing but there are a FEW regrets right now, yes. >.>

I feel I am crushing it today at work, but at the same time am so on edge, as if things should go terribly if I stop to breathe. Well, nuts to that, it's a gorgeous day and it's time for a walk. Anxiety is probably just that iced coffee in a trenchcoat anyhow. :9

Pup Whiskey @whiskeypup.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Things are greatly improved by the sudden remembrance I took tomorrow off for vaccinations and a rest day, so today is technically my Friday. (And also mildly to markedly improved by the coffee being made. :9)

Pup Whiskey @whiskeypup.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Wake up, see a message from someone I've mostly fallen out of touch with saying 'im scared' sent at 130. The actual issue seems to be medical concerns they are seeing a doctor for, now that I am responding at 5:55am, but I need to read them the riot act for being a shitty communicator. Grr.

Pup Whiskey @whiskeypup.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

Today has been pretty quiet at work thank goodness, but I feel that wall o brain fog approaching as the morning coffee wears off. Very much wanna be curled up around the bear's feets watching Kamen Rider instead of doing a capitalism. But a quiet office day is still a quiet day!

Amazing how much Rough Week can be soothed by an evening laughing and joking with your chosen fam. I'm punch drunk and silly and need to get a bit of work done tomorrow to catch up, but for now it's r & r time.
