shadowkatBeen having issues with my blood sugar this weekend and last week - so, I took another metroformin. I'm on 1,500. Allowed to go up to 2,000.
It's dietary. I need to stop eating certain things, and figure out the carb balance.
Read an article about toxic workplaces. The advice is always the same, either get out (easier said than done, and often impossible and not necessarily helpful - plus no guarantees you won't end up in another similar situation), or find ways to cope. Find a hobby at home. Make sure you cover yourself. Etc.
Discovered there are a lot of toxic workplaces out there.
Here's Horror Stories About Hostile Work Environments
* Amazon, Walmart, Twitter, Apple, The Ellen DeGeneris Show, Sony, Governor Cuomo's Administration (which my agency was in the middle of - hence the reason it filtered down to us), Nike, Mattel, NBC, America's Got Talent, TMZ, Bon Appetite, Uber..and pretty much the entire video game industry.
And the entertainment industry, particularly television has a major problem in regards to hostile work environments..
The Most Toxic Sets in Television History
They list: NCIS, One Tree Hill, The X-Files (Anderson and Duchovny hated each other through a good portion of it), The Flash, Stranger Things, Desperate Housewives, Grey's Anatomy, The Man in the High Castle, Charles in Charge...
From Grey's Anatomy to One Tree Hill Six Toxic Work Place Environments
Listed: Buffy the Vampire Slayer, One Tree Hill, Grey's Anatomy, Criminal Minds, Beverly Hills 91210, Desperate Housewives,
Teen Shows with Toxic and Unsafe Sets for Actors
The Truth About Toxicity in the UK Film & Television Industry
I was warned years ago to stay away from television. A recruiter described the interview process at a television studio as being akin to being put in a room, having a spotlight shone on you, and interrogated. A co-worker at a video game startup, told me that he'd worked for all of the big broadcast networks - and the recruiter was right. Another co-worker at a health insurance company, who'd worked for CBS and had friends who worked at NBC told me that GE, which owned NBC at the time, was a dictatorship - kind of similar to working for the Nazis.
I've decided the only way out is to retire early.
It's a rainy day. And it has slipped away from me. All too soon.
