It tracks that he went back to Florida.

Pizza party energy.

Avocado toast and eclipses…

He’ll still be the butt of eclipse jokes when it happens again in 2044.

While frequency illusion is a real thing, so is the negligence exhibited by capitalists when they need to report growth quarter after quarter at any cost.

I’ll continue to be primed to see this shit because it’s only going to get worse and worse.

That’s a sentiment that I have yet to hear IRL, but enough people have given up on it entirely that their actions pretty much reflect that sentiment.

Toilet, sink, tub. Everything goes to the same tube after the trap. Sewage air is fucking gross.

I’d rather die, honestly.

The work itself is only bad because of the systemic corporate issues plus some niche things specific to my company. It's hard to disclose the specifics without it alluding to the actual company, but there are a lot of politics and bureaucracy that extends beyond our company and into our parent company, so much is out of our control and its frustrating. That said, I work in a QA/UAT capacity which under normal circumstances would mean working closely with the software engineers. However, the department I'm part of is more business centered and my "operations" role is a bit abstracted from the actual technical departments which encompass the engineering teams. However, I'm also user facing in a support and escalation capacity, so I'm sure you can see how hard it is having to test and support the software built by people I'm not really in contact with.

The 10+ year employees around me see that, accept it, and are fine being complacent cogs in the inefficient machine.

I'm trying to hard not to be sourpuss about it all and finding the right coworkers that I can safely vent to without it coming back to hurt me.

I wish I had the will to continue education, but good luck to you, sir. Seriously, what you said about life slipping by and exploring options has been a common theme in the feedback I've gotten from my wife and you all.

Thanks for the input, you're welcome for giving you a little nudge towards your goal, and good luck.
