I appreciate the all caps because it reads a very specific way.

God, when I read it it was like his voice was saying it in my head.

People say no one has ever chugged a cock with more grace. They actually say that. No one. Not ever. And they’re right.

Omg, how have I never seen this joke articulated before now. Hilarious. Solidarity with my LGBTQ+ friends.

Work to develop emotional stability and security in being oneself. For me, that was many years of therapy learning to love myself. I got there in 2019, but the work continues. I’m the healthiest, mentally and emotionally, that I’ve ever been in my life. I truly did not believe I could ever make it as far as I have on this journey.

I worked in software development as a QA engineer. Every day I’d load the current build of the OS and test for bugs, check that fixed bugs are truly fixed, and write bug reports. Once a week it was on me to come in early and do a quick rundown to see how usable the build was and then send a report to the entire org so people knew if it was too problematic to install and remain productive.

I worked in IT at a place that was perpetually under water. I spent all day troubleshooting either end-user computers or servers. We never had a break from tickets, so there was always work to be done unless the holidays were in season and users were taking time off.

I worked IT Exec Support for a high-up individual. It required being on-call and meeting them at their office in different cities and being the personal IT for their staff. It was pretty unpleasant in that the exec never communicated effectively and was insulated by their staff such that they had unrealistic expectations about how things should work. I was proud to land the job, but I’m glad to be done with it.

I now work in IT at a place that is super organized. I mostly wait for someone to call with an issue. Most things are pretty easy to fix. Some days I have to administer our inbox and direct users or create tickets. During that time, I’m always busy. On the days when it’s not that, I surf Lemmy (on wfh days) or read a book (on in-office days) between calls. I also configure devices for people and the like (think upgrades and new employees). I’ll probably stay here until retirement cause it’s the easiest job I’ve ever had.

Start coughing loudly and see if they’re sharp enough to infer what that means (if they can hear you, you can hear them).

That’s commitment that I don’t posses. I respect the willingness to injure oneself to avoid a situation.

This is my favorite thing so far today.

Partner and kitties. When they (kitties) aren’t screaming at me while I’m on the phone for work while wfh. So fucking rude. That’s sarcasm. No one seems able to infer it anymore.

I’m glad I only gaf when people reply. I otherwise don’t check.

Dems of today are Nixonian conservatives. He gave us Legacy of Parks.

The last two really made me laugh. Great progression.

Planet from the Daft Punk video with the blue aliens was going through an apocalypse. I woke up crying.

Not quite one and a half megabytes. Otherwise, one point three two.

Sounds like you have rude colleagues.

First outloud chuckle of the day. Still smiling.

Seek help from a trusted adult. Teacher, parent of a friend that you trust, wherever you can.

I wanted to be in a famous rock band. It was reasonable to tell me that was highly unlikely. Unless your goals are like that, screw them and do what makes you happy.

I walked out of a concert because we were at the top of those stairs in a huge arena. Just felt like I would fall forward out of my seat for no reason, which is completely ludicrous but that didn’t stop my unease. The seats sucked anyway.
