Perhaps start buying a MOBO with money I don’t have, perhaps some drinks, hopefully some gaming. Twas not a great week work wise, just stress.

That sounds pretty tight, HBD and enjoy!

Not American, but funny enough from what I’ve seen, apparently it’s a thing. For my service it’s usually been assumed with no extra fees. But I bought an ESim for Europe and I did notice that while shopping around, probably 1/5 companies had mentioned something about no hotspot/tethering allowed without paying an extra fee.

Where I’m from our Teleco plans are truly shit but I guess we have that over the Americans.

That is truly so amazing! Honestly experiences like those are so worth it, but I feel for you not being able to make it open source then. If you haven’t already started on something else, I’m sure it’ll be some motivation for you down the road. Sorry for delayed response, crazy ass week for me lol.

Ah wow that’s a great experience for your co-op! You know maybe i’m rose tinting a little bit now that you’ve mentioned exams haha, but yeah I’d still say it’s been interesting working in the field for me to say the least.

My experience may be an outlier but…

Formal education was great for me, promise of working with cutting edge technologies. Vast amount of opportunities working in the IT sector. I was excited and happy for starting my second career choice.

As for the job I’ve landed, acceptable-better pay/benefits than most, the most backwards tech to work with and managing environment. I’d like to fantasize about leaving but with the work ethic in my area I can’t escape it without a drastic move.

RIF was my app for Reddit so once that went down I’ve cut it like 99%. Similarly I’m there now for questions that I can only seem to find there unfortunately but not logged in since.

Agreed it’s back to the good Ol’ days.

Gotta say I feel you. I’m terrible at following through on things/routines and end up disrupting or doing multiple things at once. Funny trend from my experience though is that I remember maybe a decade ago or more the mantra was still 3 times a day. I strive for 2 times but somedays I just knock the fuck out.
