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.

one statistic i calculated today: this year i did not commute for 42 weeks. at 3 days per week, 110 miles r/t per day, that’s 13,860 miles i didn’t drive, $1,100 i didn’t pay for 400 gallons of gas.

my health insurance charges a monthly surcharge if you partake in activities that increase your risk of health problems, i.e. smoking. what should health insurance companies do for people who refuse the covid vaccine?
