Another day of christmas shopping and I finally found it — a complete disdain of gift-giving and a feeling that everything I do is futile and I should give up

i'm watching the hourly forecast precipitation totals, i hope my school district doesn't delay start; the kids will get to school fine with an inch of snow, we can deal with the accumulation while they're there, and they'll get home safely afterwards.

while this does sound like a funny tweet it is in fact very true and it applies to nearly every person i ever dated, lived with, worked with, or been friends with (and then suddenly ghosted).

i just had the realization that anyone who knew me in the past and hasn't heard from me, might be searching to figure out where i went/what happened to me, so i'll summarize:
yes, i eventually realized that terrible thing i did to you, and yes, i beat myself up for it every day.

also also that great feeling when you think you need to delete your tweets because your employer might read them and use it against you.

@mikesusz
also yeah i’m sorry - general insecurity hasn’t been part of my “brand” before, but i just had a meeting where i decided i’m a flawed human being in need of some communication outlet to relate to my fellow humans and the “unfollow” button is available from my profile if needed

@mikesusz
and the worse part is there are probably 20 reasons and i can’t only think of 10 that’s why i’m incompetent. anyway. thanks for letting me rant.
mike susz
@mikesusz
maybe i need to start recording a podcast every night called “i’m thinking of 10 reasons i can be fired tomorrow” it will be a great companion for my other podcasts “why i can’t sleep at night” and “i’m a huge fraud” sorry just thinking out loud here

the ‘AI’ we have: facebook shows me ads based upon stuff i search for already
the AI we want: i’m in my 40s so my smart watch should see me reaching for a box of triscuits after 9pm and deliver an electric shock to prevent me from ingesting that much sodium and ruining my sleep

update: i took the bathroom scale downstairs and these two pieces of equipment total over 116lbs. probably more valuable as scrap metal than electronics recycling

also, a life pro-tip: recycle your old computers while you're still able to lift them 🤣

@mikesusz
this is a Compaq ML350 G1 w/SCSI backplane. if you bought coffee at a popular coffee restaurant in the early 2000s, your transaction may have gone through this computer (disks were wiped when i purchased it)
