The people who scream work stoppage at the most minor of tech issues are something else. I don't know whether to laugh or thoughts and prayers for what poor fuck deals with them on the daily. #ITWoes #WorkStoppage #DayDrunk #ImWalkingHere #Goldbricking

This is my massive axe to grind about modern environmentalism it isn't about the environment at all. Really it is not about finding an environmental solution it is about allowing the economy to continue to grow and do whatever the fuck it wants while putting a performative bandaid on the issue. It will literally fix nothing, yet the self-congratulatory mood prevails like it is a great victory for humanity. Environmentalism is nothing more than a smokescreen for capital to continue to grow.

So many people are crying about Twitter. Who fucking cares? Jesus, find a new hobbyhorse. I also recently found out about the FBI raid on Kolektiva, this is what I get for being out of the loop, and I'm way too lazy to change instances even though it is supposedly easy to do. I'm. Too. Lazy. For. My. Own. Good. #LazyBastard #STFUAboutTwitter #LibsGoingToLib #Kolektiva #Goldbricking

The absolute shrugging of this article is wild. Deaths in jail are on a massive upswing in the PNW, with half of them being suicides. The solution? The cops got this. Fucking wild logic. #ACAB #1312Always #ORPol #WAPol #PNW #Goldbricking

2 of 6 people who died in Multnomah County Jail this summer died by suicide

As many as half of the deaths in Pacific Northwest jails are due to suicide.

The best part about working for a public agency is the vast amounts of passive-aggressive emails I get from salespeople from various tech companies. Like, bruh, I'm not in charge of procurement, nor is that even the process. You can offer me all the gift cards in the world it won't change a damn thing. You can also have the biggest temper tantrum imaginable, and I will still never reply. #ITWoes #LULZ #PassiveAggressive #AngryEmail #Goldbricking

IT work is about doing the least amount of work to get the most amount of praise. I'm all about doing as little as I can to appear a genius. #ManBehindTheCurtain #TechTips #ITWorker #LazyBastard #BoostMyEgo #Goldbricking

Teams is a dumb, piece of shit application. I hate everything about it other than seeing how much I can push the filter for gifs. You can't censor my inappropriate sense of humor! #Rant #Goldbricking

This is going to be some old man shaking his fist at clouds shit but I figure I can throw it out there just for my own sake.

This year has been an absolute shitshow and just gone from one crisis to another. I had a nasty breakup with my ex-gf, which led to me having to take my kid and crashing at my ex-wife's place because it reached such absurd abuse levels. Then that breakup got stretched to just recently when they finally got the last of their stuff I held on to, even though I should have chucked it.

Then a new relationship that absolutely blew up in my face as the person decided remaining in an abusive relationship with someone else was the right call which is heart wrenching to watch them suffer but they are dead set they can change that person.

Then, just recently, my ex-wife had a complete mental breakdown and ran off with our kid. Police and mental health services couldn't give a flying fuck. So I had to try and track her down even though she had tossed all of her electronics and was hiding. Thankfully, it resolved with everyone safe and sound and her getting the help she needs. I'm glad I was able to find them before any harm happened, but the powerlessness and the lack of caring by anyone was disheartening.

So is this year could kindly fuck off and lay off me that would be great. I don't think my mental health can keep taking one goddamn crisis after another. I am spent. Sorry if this is rambling I just wanted to rant.

There is nothing quite as fun as watching colleagues throw shade at each other in the internal comments of the ticketing system. This is why I love tech work the unending drama. #TechHell #TicketPlease #HereForTheDrama #Goldbricking
