DAILY DEMOTIVATION
A fresh disappointment every morning. Like the news, but more honest.

You negotiated your broadband bill down by $3 a month.
The call took 94 minutes. You break even in 2031. They put it back up in 2027.

PREVIOUSLY, ON YOUR DECLINE
- You got a houseplant to "take care of something". It died. Even the plant…
- You're "in your villain era". You returned a lukewarm coffee and apologised four times.…
- You spent £400 on an ergonomic chair. You sit on it like a frog.…
- You're not a CEO. You're one person with a logo, a free email account…
- Mistakes were made. Nobody made them. They just happened, like weather.
- You "can't do mornings". You also can't do afternoons, evenings or emails.
- Some people run marathons. You run late, and you still come last.
