    I really feel this comic.

    I was sick beginning of December, mostly recovered after a week and I went back to work, but my throat still hurts when speaking - had 3 weeks off around Christmas, rested my voice, visited doctor for meds, but it’s still not gone. Doctors are still not sure what it is, but similar thing happens a lot with covid, so maybe it’s that.

    Such a small thing, but lasts so long and doesn’t improve, I have zero control over it, and it makes me hopeless. I feel like it broke me, a successful manager, a married man in my 30s, I was crying yesterday when walking my dog.

    Not sure how long can I go on working this way - I could of course go on sick leave, but doing that just after returning from a long holiday and kicking off a new project, will not make me too popular, and would guarantee that I miss the promotion I’m working for.

    1. Always treat every keyboard as if it’s set on all caps (you never know when your Dorrito-covered fingers might slip)
    2. Never point your rage at something you don’t intend to destroy (eg. woke Disney movies)
    3. Keep your fingers off Enter until you are ready to submit (spellcheck optional)
    4. Know your target and what’s behind it (eg. Soros network)
