In the latest manufactured round of alarm, managers are apparently retaliating for ''Quiet Quitting' by 'Quiet Firing', where they
- avoid one-to-one conversations
- refuse to provide feedback
- fail to share critical information needed to perform their jobs
- pass workers over for promotions
- subject employees to stingy raises, or no raises at all.

Sounds like everywhere I've worked for the last twenty years, to be honest. And I broke myself working for those guys.

Fuck 'em.

There's buzzin' and ringin' in my ear
And I wonder where do I go from here
The moments missed, the tickin' of time
I suppose this life is mine, all mine
I remember a time when my mind was clean and clear
- The Heads (Damage I've Done)

That's a lie, though. I don't remember a time when my mind was cleaner, or clearer, than it is now.

This doesn't, unfortunately, mean I'm productive in a useful-to-business direction. Just alert, and emotionally well regulated.

That's the best I can usually do.

@Aradia @zebratron2084 ... as though you never marveled at a collection of your best shitposts for a while.

@porsupah LET ME UNLOCK BERT, MELISSA AND RALPH.

PLEASE.

YOU MUST RUN WITH US.

Masked it up, backed up six feet
Double-gloved, took no chances
Went thru lockdown, hard to buy groceries
Just a man and his bills to survive

So many waves, stats rising too fast
ICU getting too gory
Self-isolate, 'till you get to that date
Your reward is a small plastic vial

It's the...
Vial of the Pfizer
I don't 'bout the cost
At this point, it's unwise to be a miser
At your first free appointment
Swipe my delt with a swab
And start shooting me up with a viiiiiaaaal....
of the Pfizer

Another jog around the sun?

Sure, why not. I think I'm getting the hang of it.

In Robot Odyssey (1984), you programmed submarines to perform tasks by soldering discrete logic chips to inputs and outputs. You could store submarines inside other submarines and call them later, remotely.

Those were nested sub routines. o.O

@JulieSqveakaroo Adjustable arm, mounted to a stud in the wall. Holds the screen out from the wall a bit. Makes getting at the wiring so much easier for patching in temporary video sources. Eventually will paint a little raceway for the cables to help them fade into the background of the wall.

I have a lot of little tasks that collectively add up to "a better living environment for us", and I have the time to do them now. So, we begin.

Restructuring my surroundings.
The video display now hovers off the wall, above the games that could be played. They will soon be games that could be seen and heard, as well.

@galacticstone And as a microconsumer of your microservices, I'd like to say you're great at it. n.n I ordered a tiny chunk of meteoric iron from you a few months back, and despite the massive postal slowdown affecting your area, a lovely sample arrived quickly, with a bonus sample for my enjoyment, and a clear description tag describing its origins.

A tiny piece of the early days of the universe arrived in time for my wife's birthday. She cried at how pretty it was. Thank you. n.n

@distressedegg So that's how she keeps those headfeathers so crisply styled.

@tiff And our provincial covid testing backlog has passed 90,000 tests.

I'm in Peel Region, so we're in the same boat... stay safe, eh?

Hey, @LexYeen@snouts.online ... I, ah, I saw this and thought of tauryeenas.

@zebratron2084 ...

We are gonna have. The *best* time. Talking and talking on the porch, the laughter and music from the party inside drifting out the door, the warmth and light spilling out over the lawn. Everybody dropping in, saying hi, staying a while before moving on in their own time. Holding court, ranting and raving and laughing and crying and singing and silently shaking and pointing at how silly we are and laughing again in cathartic release.

And. The stars overhead. So goddamn many stars. You can't hardly see stars any more in a city, but as the lights go out further and further around, as your eyes adjust, more and more stars become visible. Fainter clusters appear from the void. They were always there, always.

Turns out space is really full of light, waiting for us.

@frameacloud Don't you have to worry about impedence mxmatch when an astable multigender hooks up with a agender unit? You might get away with it in small groups, sure, maybe some burnouts here and there, but at industrial polycular scale if your three-phase multigenderator phaseshifts and frequency heterodyne:homodyne ratio deadlocks at 1:1, you might shunt all that gender *through* the agender. The hysteresis might *swap your polarities* in a gerund-core inversion flyback snap.

Fun date, tho.
