That one. The second one.

Besides, why limit myself to only one social media app to distract myself from work?

Since am seeing a new wave of people in the #tech industry being laid-off; presumably without severance packages of any sort, here is a reminder of what you need to do regardless of how easy you think you will land another job; and no matter how big is your savings account:

YOU NEED TO GET THE #UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS YOU PAID FOR

so go thru this thread I posted in December and read the comments:

i just hate computers, this is normal for anyone who likes computers

@hellomiakoda
At the risk of being a "well actually..." guy, you can still get B&W printers. Brother laser printers are $120+ depending on speed, double sided printing, etc.

If you print stuff very rarely and don't need it *right now*, the public library might also work. I need something printed 2-3 times a year so I just print it out at the library

@js "I don't get fashion" sir you can tell Caterpillar yellow from DeWalt yellow from the far side of the job site and you have opinions about them, please get yourself a fitted shirt, try on something purple, ease into it. "I can't really do math" my girl you bake and you have strong opinions about tile floors, that is the starter kit right there, please go play with some prime numbers and graph paper, see how it feels. "I don't get computers" ma'am if you knit, you're already overqualified.
Just seen a new favourite response to AI text. "Why should I bother to read something nobody could be bothered to write?"

Long covid has derailed my life. Make no mistake: It could yours, too.

Long covid has derailed my life. Make no mistake: It could yours, too.

No matter how immortal we feel, we are all — still — at risk of developing crushing, life-altering symptoms.
