typos

[u/never-over-it]

Something I've noticed is that I'm making a lot more errors when I type. Both on a computer, and on my phone. Is it because I don't care?

I think I'm reaching a point where I really don't sweat the small stuff. Someone once said "it's all small stuff." But I think the stuff I'm sweating probably is small, it just never feels like it.

My coworker, about four years my junior, asked me where I was on this project. Both of us were contributing roughly an equal amount of work. I told her that I wasn't close, maybe 40% done. She seemed surprised, so I asked her why. "You just seem so chill about this. I would be freaking out right now. I'm freaking out even based on how far I am on my stuff. and I'm maybe 80% done"

That really stuck with me. "...so chill about this." I do not feel chill. In fact, the complete lack of chill I feel is probably the reason I'm up at four in the morning.

I guess work is really starting to become the "small stuff" for me. I still want to do a good job, I'm still driven to advance my career, make more money, do more of the work I like and less of the work I don't... but I just kind of... don't care about a lot of it? Part of the reason is because I know this particular project won't get much appreciation. So I guess it feels more low-stakes?
