Welp, the thing happened to me today.
AI took my job.
I learn hard things fast and explain them clearly.
Do you or someone you know need that skill?

We can meet all the needs of the many.
We'll never be able to satisfy the greed of the few.

I think I'm okay with this.
Asking some to have a bit less so that everyone can have enough should not be so controversial.
I have been back in the gym two days in a row, working my legs yesterday and upper body today. After 10 days away from it, it was great to be back at it.
The pharmaceutical company that manufactured the drug that keeps my body from self-destructing my intestinal tract called wanting to help me navigate open enrollment that so many people have to do in March. Which I used to. But now mine is in November.
And they wouldn't talk to me unless I "verified" my personal information so they could look at my file they'd already used to call me to begin with.
On the one hand, American healthcare is a messed up system and most folks can use all the help they can get.
On the other, this is an avenue ripe for scammers. I hung up on them.

@jalefkowit@vmst.io My 40s self appreciates my then-40s parents struggles with VCRs oh so much more.
Successfully avoided making a snarky reply guy response to someone asking a specific audience I am not a part of a particular question I have no reason to know an answer to.
Other middle aged white men, take note. It IS possible.
Will be using my remaining funds to book The Abyss for exclusive use. Should give me maybe 3 hours of use with it?

Shower accomplished. A feeling better as a result, to boot.
Though I'm still coughing a lot. Staying on Mucinex today to hopefully get the rest of the crud out of my lungs.
Everyone's rest and recovery sick days involve filing taxes between coughing fits, right?
My mind has been able to think of nothing or do anything other than positioning myself in the job hunt market. It's been nonstop resume crafting, website/portfolio maintenance, job listing searches, and similar since the news broke if my layoff.
I haven't really even stopped to absorb it, I don't think.
Hopefully balance will come and I'll be able to read a fun book, take care of house projects, watch a show, and such things.
As it turns out, I have Thoughts and Opinions about docs. Who knew?
Amazing what years and years of doing something and building a skill (no, not the Clause kind) does

Sure. 1 hour of sleep should be just fine for this Tuesday.
Going from a methol cough drop to spearmint tea is not something I can recommend.
Actually, no, I don't need to add psoriasis to my list of fun experiences from the week. But thanks.
Well, that was a Monday.
When you realize that "spring forward" is this coming weekend.
For those of you that strength train, what's your guideline for when it's okay to go back to the gym?
Somewhere along the way I picked up that if it's in the chest, rest. If it's just in the head, it's okay to go.
I'm a week into persistent chest stuff. I *feel* mostly better, but keep working stuff out of my lungs.
How a non-word appeared in the Merriam-Webster dictionary in the 1930s and 1940s.
Not the era to have kids approaching draftable age, is it?

Silver lining:
I won't need another ab workout this week.

@APBBlue@thepit.social What we got is my kind of snow event. A couple of inches. Coating everything, including tree branches. Roads are clear. Even my driveway was relatively easy to shovel. It'll melt before the next one in two days. 😂

@intrepidhero@vmst.io My sentiments exactly. Though with a few dozen more "Fucks".

I mean, I'd miss you all.
And I do *not* have the lifeskills for the resulting world, so wouldn't last long myself.
But ... the world might be better off as a whole?

@Jorsh@beige.party OR .... being an adult, you could get a pint of ice cream and/or a favorite beverage and lounge in a recliner with a novel, album, or video stream of your choice.

@phillycodehound@indieweb.social Tuesday could be rough for the whole state. Though a few clippers will keep flurries in the air before then.
Can't take a deep breath without triggering a coughing fit. So fun.
Still better than listening to a speech tonight.
It's been a while since i felt like I had an elephant sitting on my chest due to a cold.
Can't say that I've missed the experience.

I can see the flavor combination, but not on a marshmallow.
If you know the Peeps flavor ideas person, can you stage an intervention?
The urge to buy a turntable and vinyls...
Replying to on mstdn.social
@EthicalProfessor@mstdn.social Yes, though the better route that I'm taking is to avoid being in public.
Thus begins the breaking of all the established routines related to work that is no longer happening.
This is awkward and uncomfortable and I don't like it.
What did March do that was so horrid it has to give an hour to November every year?
I want a full weekend, damn it!

My shoveling complaints aside, we only got 2" and it's not going to interrupt our day at all otherwise.
My cough and sore throat, on the other hand...
Best of luck to the mid Atlantic and New England folks right on the coast.

@phillycodehound@indieweb.social Don't look at the forecast for the next week to 10.

@dsilverman@mastodon.social OH, I thought the main problem with weather apps was ... "ads".
