today i received an email that my computer from work is eligible to be upgraded. this is hilarious, as i’ve never received one of these emails before. i started at IBM in 2017. i got a new computer in 2021 when i was laid off and rehired (obviously). i requested an “emergency” replacement last year to upgrade my 2019 intel-based macbook pro. they sent me a used 2020 m1 macbook pro.

given the everything that’s currently happening, this is extra ironic.
