I love these kinds of very specific slice of life stories from work. It's so weird how these things can feel like such a big part of your life, but most of us just forget about them as soon as we walk out the door, let alone change jobs. Work is so weird lol

How is that different from any other accident of birth that can't be changed? People really do discriminate based on when you were born:

Not hard to extrapolate a case from this. Imagine a landlord refusing to rent because you're a "scorpio" or an employer turning you down because they're looking for a "dog" person.

Yeah yeah not protected, but same could be said for requiring blond hair or blue eyes. Still discrimination

A comics style picture of Jack Black against a background of flames and smoke. He is wearing a Bowsette costume in the goth style, including horns, black nail polish, tight fitting shoulderless dress, and a pink crown. His hand is raised in a casual "Love you" hand signal, and he is sporting a triumphant/rebellious expression.

This has always been one of my favourites

That's curious because I find I rewatch more movies than ever before, since it's so easy to find them, and I already know whether I like them or not.

Lined notepad with the date "13/09/16" (sorry about the format) and some todo notes cut off. The subject is a pile of shaded rocks, with a small bird atop one, tweeting. This is echoed by a rock with a vague mouth shape, that is shown to be emitting a cry also.

Long haired cat on messy dog bed with one fluffy paw extended over the edge of the bed. The cat has a smug expression, even for a cat

Just start by dual booting one of the "easy" distros and doing stuff that doesn't require Windows. Eventually you'll start spending more and more time on it out of comfort, then one day you may realise that you haven't needed your Windows partition in months, and can skip out on it entirely.

I've started paying attention to music more in recent years, and I am shocked how much of it is about or related in some way, to sex. Like it all music made to have sex to? Like is this part of focus group work for songs??

This is dumb. But just to talk corpo for a bit (because that is the reality for many of us): early in your career, putting in extra study time (or just making time on the clock if possible) will give you a leg up for certain kinds of white collar work. Just because you'll know more.

But doing work on weekends will set you apart as a damned sucker who can be used by others to make career moves. So do that if you want to feel someone's pump in your eye socket as they trample you to reach for their dream job.

You're never going to get promoted to an easier job if you've proven you can build like 2x more widgets than your co-workers.

You'll get to a better job by showing up with your co-workers to the boss' house and asking nicely.

Yeah this'd be like TastyFood in the old place. But I always thought FoodPorn was too unrealistic. Like, every bun had to have that glossy brown sheen or it was crap, etc.
