    Don’t underestimate how amazing it is to have a job you don’t hate! I know it’s way easier said than done, but I left the career I went to school for, and spent a decade climbing the ladder in, to get a basic job I don’t hate. Pays a little less but I feel like all my stress and anxieties just vanished!

      Can’t overstate how much I miss silence.

      Fucking tinnitus, dude.

      Laying in bed at night: EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE Outside during a calm snowfall: EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

      …don’t really notice it 99% of the time, but every now and then you KNOW you shouldn’t be hearing a single thing, and that’s when the fucking ringing REALLY gets maddening.

    I rather like mine, but would love to know it will last over a decade. There’s so much going on out there with AI and all of that, it’s hard to know what to expect.
