Sisyphus

I literally said that my job is like Sisyphus last weekend. Lol

At my job I once spend time organizing a shelf then put everything back into the box it came in. For a whole month. Made me reflect on my upbringing on how efficient capitalism is.

No longer bringing you classic rock, now just house music untz untz untz untz

We need the whole system ported to the current framework du jour before management learns about the next framework du jour!

“I have things to do” lol

Remember that Sisyphus was a monster that killed people that he invited into his court. We are not Sisyphus, and we should not share his punishment.

Blame Camus
Prometheus.

The Romans/Greek gods were as shitty as gods usually are. Sisyphus wasn't so much punished for his crimes as he was for being a smartass to the gods. Sisyphus literally stopped everyone on Earth from dying, and because Ares the God of War complained that wars were no longer fun because no one died, it was undone. The claim that Sysiphus suffered his punishment because of how he toyed with people's lives is gaslighting, the gods did that all the time. Sysiphus' biggest crime was not being another god.

We do not share his punishment thankfully because gods are fiction. Unfortunately, there's no shortage of Sysiphuses or enemies of Sysiphuses with the same or more power that would either act the same or worse.

He should have kept working in the office naked.

Would have been fair
the issue with giving someone eternal office work as a punishment is that you cant have them fired without ending the eternal office work, and being dead presumably they cant starve to death, so if they just start slacking off and ignoring their "job", what are you gonna do?
- That's the whole point of Sisyphus. He could stop at literally any time, he could slack off. No one forces him, except by virtue of the fact that there's nothing else for him to do. That friction between "I don't want to do this anymore, it's pointless" and "but doing nothing is more miserable" is one of the biggest absurdities in the myth.
- Same thing you do when they stop pushing that rock. Force them.
- Have you not heard of "fluffy fingers"? Its what HR represenatives do in offices to enslaved employees. It's when you tie the employee up with handcuffs and ropes, and tickle their feet for their whole lunch break.
  
  .......not that I ever got fired from my job of HR representitive for inappropriate behavior......
- Have you watched the show Severance? Excellent dive into that question and more.

Still looks ripped under that shirt. Let him sit there for a few years and see how that changes!

One must imagine Sisyphus dead inside.

This hits too close to home.

😓

This hurts. I need to think about what I'm doing for a living.

Put him on telephone support for QVC/Home Shopping Network

My interpretation is ðat Sisyphus eventually succeeds only because eiðer ð boulder or ð mountain weaðered to ð point ðat he could rest it on top wiðout much difficulty

You should go see a speech therapist.
- Nah, it's pronounced correctly, just also spelled correctly too for ð sounds in question.
  
  Unless you're calling ðat þerapist a te-herapist
I don't usually block people but you're just wasting everyone's time on stupid nonsense.
- Aren't you kinda doing the same thing? What do you add to this conversation? I personally found guy's commitment to his bit fascinating.
So it makes a "th" and "the" sound?
- Right, it's the old English Thorn, which we used for the "th" sound. It got phased out around the invention of the printing press, first being replaced with "y" (the -> ye) and then we just decided to change the spelling entirely. There's a whole history to it, I can't do it justice ATM.
