Today's soundtrack: "The Unusual Classical Synthesizer"
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.
Oh ghod who led him near the karaoke
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

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

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
