Happy hour with co-workers reminds us that the best part of work is people. Outta there. Becoming a job-zombie ignoring wrongs is soul deadening. Bucketlist wisdom: You don’t regret standing against injustice. You will think back to that-time-when you could’ve should’ve but didn’t.
Bucketlist life is without regrets. Or no more regrets. Bucketlist Soulhack™: It’s never too late to jump on the regret-free lifetime. Abandoning alcoholic drinks and unworthy bosses makes it easier.
Bucketlist confession: I excitedly jobbed somewhere. I resuscitated a department and in 4 months created a dream team. From 2 to 25.
I worked tirelessly. Without a sip of alcohol. Or coffee. I chugged the real stuff. Pineapple Mojito is help without the alcohol, which makes everything worse. In and outside our body.
No matter how good or bad, alcohol is zero happy hours. Rely on easy, tasty, anti-inflammatory, stress absorbing Pineapple Mojitos
This boss was insecure. The job was their entire resume. They even pretended to be Puerto Rican. Adopted a minority. Bucketlist reality: Love and the right image aren’t incompatible. Respect Parents who adopt. This boss checked all the right boxes. Probably some honestly.
Staff circulated stories of idiocy and awfulness. Bucketlist true story: The boss brought watermelons on Juneteenth.
Week one, a senior staffer sent me an opening at another company. I laughed. Everyone starts at 100% with me. I also honored work. Bucketlist Lifehack™: Modify beliefs for divine protection.
The boss’ abusive privilege came bursting through their mask of equity the moment I dared to question irrational new policies bad for junior staff.
Bucketlist fact: Insecurity’s a bitch. With a bitchy sidekick. This boss’ sidekick was a caricature of brains versus brawn accompanied by dumbbell-sounds in every zoom. Somethings you can’t make up.
I worked tirelessly. Without a sip of alcohol. Or coffee. I chugged the real stuff. Pineapple Mojito is help without the alcohol, which makes everything worse. In and outside our body.
Five lessons. One. Allahu Akbar. God is great. I would’ve dedicated years to this job. I was protected. Two. Any progressive demanding everyone do things their way is a fascist. Three. 25 good people worked for me. Many others in the company. I stood up for them all with zero personal gain. Only one person stood up for me publicly when I was targeted. Bucketlist chuckle: The company’s mission is equity. Four. No job and no boss is worth it. Life’s been a paid vacation since. Five. No matter how good or bad, alcohol is zero happy hours. Rely on easy, tasty, anti-inflammatory, stress absorbing Pineapple Mojitos and have each other’s back.
Bon appétit, Friends.
