got a PS4Pro from a friend, first game i bought - @tonyhawk Pro Skater 1&2. (it’s been 20 years since i played these games.) a summary:

… skate … *slam* “Sorry Tony!”

what i can say is, when you are approaching a new piece of work, consider how this will contribute to your future of work. how can you steer the ship of your career to end up in a place where you are still enthusiastic, versus tolerating whatever will continue to bring you income

i hesitate to talk about these topics because i’m a basic middle-aged white guy who should be grateful i have a job, and i am grateful. i’m not expecting sympathy. i hope i can bring this up as a precautionary tale for anyone who sees this.

i’m hitting a point in my career where the bulk of my work is incredibly valuable to my employer but not at all interesting or enjoyable to me. and the longer i spend creating/preserving value for them, the more my skills and my spirit wanes.

i could not add a bank account to my apple pay account because the only way to verify i own it was to send a text to the number associated with the account. a land line.

apple literally never prepared for people to own phone numbers that cannot receive texts.

my favorite part is when it gets to “verifying update” and saturates the upstream of my DSL which kills all my downstream connections. thanks apple.
