I learned Feinstein’s name in the early 90s because of Jello Biafra.

So anyways.

TFW you have the kind of week that’d be the start of a decent country song.

Car broke down, wife’s out of town.

Deaf in one ear, ADHD in the other, so no I didn’t hear what you just said to me.

Besides the dogs gotta go pee

oh lord

Job descriptions’ expansive (yet still somehow noncommittal) DEI statements are triggering resumé-tuned job alerts.

i.e. they mention “the elderly” as a group encouraged to apply, which the job board logic registers as a geriatric medical tech gig, relevant to me because I worked for a biotech place.

I still applied because heck it’s way too late to be fussy.

But still. This is not encouraging.

None of this is encouraging.

@WuMargaret I can imagine worse, but it actually takes a little effort nowadays.

Linux ultra wide DisplayPort fun, where a reboot both decreased my default resolution and increased my default display scale.

Yow.
