the fact that we only have “herculean task” and “sisyphean task” feels so limiting. so here’s a few more tasks for your repertoire
icarian task: when you have a task you know you’re going to fail at anyways, so why not have some fun with it before it all comes crashing down
cassandrean task: when you have to deal with people you KNOW won’t listen to you, despite having accurate information, and having to watch them fumble about when you told them the solution from the start (most often witnessed in customer service)

Where are we going and why am I in this handbasket? Free Drinks and Bad Advice.Enticing Propositions, Nebulous Boundaries, Hijinks Ensue. General things that catch my interest, could be anything…Sebastian Stan, Winter Soldier stuff…probably with some porn sprinkled in too..... I'm all over the internet and don't always remember where I got things so if you see a picture or something and I don't have it credited correctly, please just let me know and I'll correct it or if it's yours and you'd like it taken down I will.
